Windows insists there is a problem with the security certificate.

I get a warning saying it has expired or is not yet valid, yet details show it being valid from 2/5/06 to 3/8/06

Since today is 3/1/06, (well, in San Diego. It's 3/2/06 in England), I think there's something weird :)

Now, this won't stop me from ordering, but I'd hate to see you guys lose even one sale because someone was spooked off by this silly warning.

Can you tell me when you see this warning and what it looks like? Maybe send a screenshot?

Sure.

I click the link above, then the red Order button on the CoM line, and I see this -

Hi Iain.

I want to buy CoM, though I don't have those credit cards which Pay Pal deals.

So if it is not so inconvinent for you, may I send cash via mail(I mean postal service), and in return send me
CoM.exe with e-mail?

If there are lots of guys who wants to do this, and it seems to take many hours, please forget this.
And if it's O.K, what currency do you prefer? U.S. dollars? U.K. pounds? Of course, I can send Japanese Yen.

Hi Tora,

can you mail me and we'll try and sort something out, but cash is not a good plan :)

does cult of mithras have a MAC version? IF not are there plans in the works. I enjoyed Legion Arena but the campaigns were too easy and short.

I guess you didn't play the campaigns on very hard, did you? It's under options.....very hard is really fun....and i am ready to bet that you won't be able to finish the campaign without lowering at least once the difficultly level :wink:

I think Freeverse have the rights for Cult of Mithras on MAC, so best to ask at their site.

Hi,
When Legion Arena, came out in 2005, I bought it straight away, then when Cult of Mithras came out I bought that too. Many years on, I am installing the game on my new computer. However, I no longer have my saved copy of Cult of Mithras, although I still have my product key (2-56924E5D1D2119) Would it be possible for you to send me a download link for CoM, please?

Please contact support@slitherine.co.uk with your details. IF you purchased that far back, then it would have been via Digital River, who did not allow for redownloads after more than a short time, so I am not sure what the support guys can do, but they will do all they can :)

Cheers
