It go boom if you try!

oh ok good, i thought my computer was seriously messed up, i guess its back to entrenchment for the week till the final release comes out

glad I read this before I did my usual "connect gaming pc to internet for weekly updates"

i'll be keeping impulse offline until tuesday!

impulse does not force you to update so there is no need to worry about hooking up impulse, just tell it no to update

unlike some digital distributers (looks at steam)

ahh damm just wished I didn't update

*sigh*... i guess we can live for a few days before we can play diplo again...NOT

*goes to make back up copy of current version of sins*

Oh, you're right about impulse - and as far as i'm concerned it's way better than steam, which isn't even stable on my pc. Every time I try to run half life 2/portal/l4d etc it crashes (steam, not my pc). I bought left for dead then had to d/l an "illegal" copy to be able to play it at all, because of steam. Impulse, on the other hand, is awesome. I felt like playing titan quest the other day, and had it downloaded and ready to play within 5 minutes. Here's hoping impulse becomes increasingly popular and outrageously cheap games even more commonplace...

Thanks for the update!

did we ever get the diplomatic win condition that was in the works?

The Diplomatic win exists in the final version, but no, we have never received it.

Well, here we are.

Sweet, will be keeping Impulse off until next week then, as I still haven't updated it yet!

ya... i think its less "we dont want you to play diplomacy" but more "The version of diplomacy we are working is farther along, and we dont feel like making the outdated version you all are playing with compatable."

Pbhead has it.    If we were further out from release, we'd happily make the effort, but it's coming out next Tuesday. I can relay that the final release is waaaaay better than the last public beta. 

BTW, you can run/use Impulse normally. It will only update your games if you tell it to.

I'm a little confused - i updated SINs and Entrenchment then got a prompt for a 1.0 update for Diplomacy. I installed it and loaded it up and i have a 1.0 non-beta of it to play. I thought this game wasnt coming out for another week?! checking the update history it just gives '1.00 release' no other information.
