I don't really care much about having to wait a while for my key from GMG but it makes me wonder what the hell is the point in pre-ordering if you don't get the game as soon as it is released. I was under the impression that getting it the moment it was released is THE point of pre-ordering.

dreffen posted:Well GMG is a British company so I dunno, would it still be a person? 6am. Of course if they have to go to their offices to manually start sending the keys then it is completely understandable. I just thought it might be automatic.

What's the bet that they don't get keys until the 12th. The page on GMG says the release date is the 12th for some reason.

I'm not in the US so I guess I'll just shut up and wait then. I paid in USD though, so I wonder if I'll get the US release date.

Well I got a response from their support about me not receiving a key:quote:Hi, So I requested a refund (I had a couple of days off and really wanted to play it before the 12th) and they said this: quote:Hi, Eh. So I'll just buy it on Amazon, pay a few extra dollars and use my VPN service to activate it.

Do keys for Civ 5 BNW bought in North America require a American IP address to activate? I know they require a North America IP to play right now, just wanting to know if they are also restricting activations.

Geokinesis posted:What were you expecting? Them to give the int'l keys out on the US date? I didn't know there were going to be different release dates split up by regions. If I knew that I wouldn't have pre-ordered the version that gets it late.

I can confirm that an American key will activate on a non-American IP, and that using an American IP will start the game download. Hopefully I will be able to play in 30 mins!

The game works! Just used an American key and VPN to activate and start the game, no problems. Playing in offline mode now.

I just had an odd AI thing occur. 5 civs all at once asked me to mutually accept embassies on the same turn. That has never happened to me before.

What is wrong with Shaka?! He has been constantly declaring war on me all game and losing pathetically. Between wars we are all great buddies and declaring friendships and making defensive pacts but he just ignores them. Is it possible to be friends with Shaka?

TheGame posted:That's weird since Shaka is one of the most loyal leaders. Every stat varies by 20% each game so it's possible to get him to be less faithful, but he's not usually a Nobunaga or Elizabeth. He has by far been the most aggressive civ I have played against yet. I can guarantee that within 10 turns of our peace treaty ending he will rush his army to my border again. I have zero negative modifiers in the diplomacy screen. He has to die.

SirKibbles posted:Shaka is the hardest to make friends with but he has the highest loyalty rating in the game so it really shouldn't be happening this way unless you're super close and you're running light on army. I have good defences but keep a small army, this has to be the only reason why. Also he has 4 cities within 4 tiles of my border.

Verviticus posted:If you actually get a DoF with shaka you're set. Just being neutral doesn't count as friends. I got a declaration of friendship with him! 5 turns after, the turn after I made a defensive pact with him, he just declares war again. He is unstoppable! I am ahead in science though, so I am waiting for nukes.
