It's really hard to find the download link for AI War.
« on: July 02, 2010, 09:21:44 pm »
I was just trying to download the AI War (basic game, not expansion) and it took me about 5 minutes to find the download links.  The problem was the download link in the table at the top of the page is yellow, and so I thought it was a title rather than a link.

Perhaps it should be made more visible?  I've downloaded it myself twice before from your website and even so I still hard a hard time finding the the link.

Maybe it's a built-in test by the game designer, preventing you from wasting your time if you can't find it :D

Perhaps to ensure your able to navigate through various secret menus and interfaces?  X + right click anyone?

Yeah, I can see the point.  I'd been on the fence about that when I did it, but nobody ever commented until now (it's been months), so I figured it was okay.  But, I've now changed it to just have all the links on that header section be the same color and weight, that should make it a lot easier.  Thanks for the note!

Maybe I should make the controls entry say "Function: open context menu; keypress: secret handshake" ;)
