QVADRIGA Announced and going Beta!

[Philkian]

During the Roman Ludi, not only gladiatorial fights or theatrical plays entertained the public, but also the thrilling, fast and dangerous races of the aurigas driving their four-horse chariots: the quadrigas! Symbol of Victory and Triumph, and seen as a Godly chariot (Apollo was often represented riding one) on the earthly world, it was the most important chariot adopted in ancient Roman circus racing. Rushing fast inside the Circus Maximus each auriga could not rely only on his horses speed, but also had to use strategy and wit.
Now, with QVADRIGA, players will be able to revive the historical races of Ancient Rome and became the greatest driver of the ancient world!

The game features historically modeled circuses with all their styles and particularities. Variable circuit sizes, lengths and shapes, from the classic Greek oval hippodrome to the standard Roman circuses for a total of 43 unique arenas. Thanks to the dual game system you can play the way you like: paused turn-based gameplay (static) or continuous real time action (dynamic).
Events, trade, upgrades and bonuses; four factions, a huge campaign system with seven regions to travel and an expert AI. QVADRIGA is all this and much more!

If this sounds like something which appeals to you we are now recruiting Beta testers! For you chance to take part please sign up here.

I'm so very happy to read this!
Have been waiting with growing impatience and worry for news on this game ever since I played an early demo in spring, 2012.
As much as I want to I can't decide if I have time to join the beta. How much is expected from a beta tester? Have never been one...

As much or as little time as you can manage. The more the better obviously but even a first impression after an hour or so is valuable info.

I'm in
Any idea when it starts?

[IainMcNeil]

I'm guessing in a week or two so probably November but Tamas is running this one and he's at Essen this week so I can't check for sure.

I´ve sent an e-Mail to Tamas because I´ve been selected as a lucky beta-tester of "Qvadriga" but I cannot access to the links you sent me today through your e-Mail (so, I cannot download the file, cannot access to the private forum, cannot get more information... ).

I hope you fix this problem soon. Thank you.
Cheers!
