Love AI War and/or Tidalis? We could really use your help...

Devious, now, there's another story...

[Gallant Dragon]

So they banned you and didn't bother to look at what you were spamming about?

Yep.

Mind you, if it was the sort of copy-and-pasted-looking post that's on a thread which is totally unrelated to your post, I'd understand.

No, I wrote a response to an existing long thread where someone had asked about games like this, and I mentioned a number of other games and also AI War, in the interest of fairness.  I made two such posts.  However, this was in May of 2009, and I wasn't even on Impulse yet, let alone Steam or GamersGate or D2D, so I was a complete unknown and just trying to get anyone to look at the game.  I even explained what I was doing to the forum mod that banned me, apologized, and said I wouldn't post about my own stuff any more if they didn't want to hear about it, but he didn't care and left me perma-banned.

Wow, fun...
Anyone else have ideas for catching the attention of the big boys?

heh, I know what you mean. I was on this forum that banned me cause they thought I hacked my way into the admin panel (I didn't actually get in), but it was just a bug in the forums. but they banned me anyway, even though I explained. it was also the community I planned to launch my first game... oh well. what can you do. (except rub in their faces how popular AI War is no thanks to them   )

(there should be an evil face emoticon here...)

Yeah, there's certainly all kinds out there.  Sigh.

What about IGN or Gamespy?

I just recently ordered Children of Neinzul as I was chomping at the bit to play again (wanted to get more of the changes implemented before starting a new game and making my old games obsolete) although I normally avoid betas these days. I've gotten one friend to try the demo and if he likes it, I'm buying him all the AI War stuff as he's in bad financial shape and I'm back to work. Once my other close friends show up in ventrillo, I'll get them to try it/buy it too. I'm currently DLing the new 3.7.11 patch as mine was only at 3.1.something and reading all these changes I wasn't seeing in my game was confusing! I will mention this to other people as well as I think AI War is a great game (I have not tried Tidalis as of yet), and would love to see more stuff for it, and more people playing it.

Thank you very much for the support

By the way, 3.711 and so on are really beta, if you want the latest "stable" beta that would be 3.189; your original install should be able to automatically update to it.

[Mánagarmr]

Yeah, the 3.7xx branch is experimental at best right now. It has some gamebreaking flukes that tend to rear their ugly heads around a bit. So unless you're in for bugcrunching, stick to 3.189 until the 4.0 version is released.

[x4000]

until the 4.0 version is released.

Which is Monday.  It's getting loads closer every day, but the tutorials still aren't there for new players.

[Giegue]

I just can't wait for the trailer. those are the best part!! or at least a good part.

Yeah, I still gotta do one of those.

Hopefully get a few curious gamers to at least take a look!

Thank you!

Saw several articles on this game on GameSquad.  Tried the demo and have since purchased the game and all of the add-on's.  This is one of those games that just gets under your skin and you can't stop playing. 

Congrats and best of luck!

Thank you!

I went ahead and purchased Tidalis via Steam yesterday to give it a try. I wasn't sure if it was my cup of tea or not, but for only 10 bucks, how could I go wrong? I've spent more than that on MMOs I don't even play anymore. Between TF2, some AI War, and my HoI3 game as Canada on the side on top of 'things to do' from a certain someone, I didn't get much playtime yet, but so far so good.
