King of Dragon Pass: Where Can I get It?
« on: September 01, 2011, 07:09:39 am »

Seriously, I've heard multiple Bay12ers recommend this, but I cannot find a place to download.  I dont care if it's not free, so long as it's not exorbitant, I'd actually feel better buying it than getting a pirated version, unless it's turned freeware. 

Please help.

Seems to be the only option unless you can find a copy on Ebay or something.

iPhone version is also coming soon, so if you have one or a Touch it might be best to wait a tad.

Their site makes me giggle:

we aren’t a retail operation and can’t promise to ship promptly (it may take a day or two)

I remember when shipping took 6 to 8 weeks!

It is not practical to download the entire game (about 450 MB).

450 MB?  That's nothing.  I download TV shows at twice that size in only a half hour or so.

I guess computers back when this game was active weren't able to handle 450 MB.  You know where I can download all 450 of this game?

I ordered a copy of it last year from them, so it was still a viable way to get it at least fairly recently.

It's a great game. Not much else like it, if anything.

They've explained something along the lines of their DRM not being fixable as why they can't offer digital downloads. Hopefully the iphone port does well enough that they can afford to do a remake or sequel.

A sequel of this game would be AWESOME.  Has anyone managed to create a super large tribe?  Once I hit around 1600-2000 people they always want to split off.

Yes, large tribes cause people to split away, such is the limitation of early feudal society. I think war might be the answer to your overpopulation problems though (It kills excess population, captures slaves who won't demand to leave and gets you extra land in case your people will still try to split away). Just, friendly advice, don't kill the ducks.

But ducks are so /easy/ to kill...


I loved this game to bits, but I keep getting stuck when it wants you to form a kingdom. I form a kingdom, get one of my peeps elected king (queen), and promise everyone whatever random nonsense they want... then have no means of fulfilling the promises and get de-kinged for being a liar. How do you fulfill those miscellaneous promises? I can't find the in-game mechanic to do those things!

Hm I've never tried to kill the ducks.  They've always been so nice to me.  I've never gotten to the clan making parts.  I just play till I get my tribe to expand and take the lands of like 3 nearby tribes then I get bored when my people wanna split off.  Guess I should pick it up again.

I've been doing some beta testing of the iphone/ipod version and it's translated very well! It's being submitted soon so expect to see it in the near future.

I believe he'll be going for a 9.99 price point.

So I'd seen this game mentioned around here....

And I'm really blown away by its depth and quality. It's right up there with Dominions for having game play done to the hilt.
