You have a good point, but Bill Gates has nothing to do with AoE development. That series has always been made by Ensemble Studios and merely produced by Microsoft. This is much like what Chromite Software and Dragonlore did with Spiderweb, and what Spiderweb did with Fantasoft.

This is true for most of the games, but my copy of A4 came on a CD-R with a paper label.

There is always a demo. What PGLB was asking was if the demo and the full version will be completely separate, like the original Nethergate and BoE, or if it will be a registrable demo like the other Spiderweb games.

For starters, Nethergate was only 640x480, while BoA has an 800x600 game screen. The character graphics are laid out differently for Nethergate and have only one death graphic. The automap was a separate window like in the Exile games. Spells and experience were different. Nethergate doesn't actually have levels. Nethergate has no quest list. It also is incapable of running fullscreen. There are probably several other differences that I'm neglecting to mention.

On that note, I just performed a much-needed update.

Crescent Valley is now version 1.0.4
Exodus is now version 1.1.0
Rats Aplenty is now version 1.0.2
High Level Party Maker is now version 1.2.3.6

Get them while they're hot!

i. Wonderful. Will it keep the same spells though? I really hope so.
ii. Good
iii. Oh well. It's more fun to start over anyway.
iv. Sweet. Will they be completely new or just copies of A3's Xian items?
v. Makes the whole thing worthwhile.
vi. Very, very good.

There are usually a few things that disappoint me in an announcement like this, but I have nothing but praise for everything you said. I can't wait to play it! :D

Neverwinter Nights has a really good musical score, as do all the Final Fantasy games featuring music by Nobuo Uematsu. I love the music from the Legend of Zelda games as well, and the opening theme to WildArms 2 is simply amazing.

I meant that Jews started the idea that Sodom was destroyed because of homosexuality, not that they started homosexuality. :P

Not to mention the Jews, who came up with the idea. :P

Also, my interpretation of that passage in the Bible is that the sin was not sodomy, but rape.

I downloaded the file, put it in the correct directory, loaded a save from before I went to that location, and the same thing happened.

At first I thought it was the installation, but I deleted, redownloaded, and reinstalled, and it still happens. In the Eastern Gallery, in the farmer's cellar northwest of Cotra, there is a chitrach that appears as static on the screen and makes the game abort when it is killed.

I'm using a MacBook Pro, 2.0 GHX Intel Core Duo running OS X 10.4.8 Intel.
