Hi guys - for anyone who is not already signed up for the beta test, we are entering the final phase and recruiting more testers in conjunction with Strategy First.

Mulltiplayer is one of the key features we're testing so if that's of interest to you then sign up here http://www.strategyfirst.com/beta/

Please note - you need to be registered on this forum to be a beta tester, and will be asked for your Slitherine passport or username as part of the application process.

heh; i would say the chance to be accepted as beta tester is quite high, considering the relatively low number of active forum users who are not already betas... ;)

perhaps LA will bring some live to theese halls.

I was one of those guys who signed up yesterday :D. Really hope I get in, really wanna test this game ;). Multiplayer is always one of the main parts that can make or break a game in my opinion, it looks like its gonna make this game :P. I have been hanging around here for ages, but never REALLY felt a reason to register and post, Until now :). When will we know if we got in? Also does past experience with betas make a difference? Cause ive been in MANY betas :D. Im a game junky lol. (Arent we all? :P) I really hope I get in, and hopefully will see you all ingame :). I will definetly be an active member on these forums now .

I would love to beta test the multiplayer aspect of the game but with my new connection I got this BT Voyager 205 router/modem that SUCKS. No matter what I do it doesn't work for multiplayer games (yes that includes port forwarding) and the only game that works online is Renegade (which is my favourite FPS so that is not too bad). By the time you ask for beta testers for LII I hope I will have a proper modem only modem. :?

Well we are using NAT negotiation libraries as part of the multiplayer, so you never know - it might work!

I guess I'm the only one (active, i mean) now that Efthimios and his router have seen the power of the dark side. :oops:

I got my mail that I'm selected which I'm happy about. Now I'm waiting to get the beta. BTW, you might not recognize me since I've been busy, got a job etc. and my nickname is changed. On the older bords I was r3b00tpc and one of the betatesters for Spartan. It's nice to see how much this game has been evolving, I remember the first concept of and if I compare it to what you got now. Wow! Keep up the good work and see you all in the game :D

Hello guys,

Just joined the forum to be able to beta test this game. The pictures I saw on the web were interesting and caught my attention. Not that I am a graphics freak :) (I still play Anacreon- a strategy game from 1980`s for PC)

So I think I am ready and able to do my part, at least the motivation is here ;)
