Beware the Black Death, destroyer of kingdoms.

<span class="bold">Grand Ages: Medieval</span> a global strategy game of war and economics, is available now, DRM-free on GOG.com.

How do you feel about gameplay on a grand scale? Well, Grand Ages: Medieval is ready to tickle your fancy of grandeur. There are hundreds of settlements, and over 30,000,000 Square Kilometers of Europe, Africa, Middle East and Scandinavia - and when you zoom in on your local lumberjacks going about their day, the immensity of it all immediately hits home.
Grand Ages: Medieval is first and foremost a game of economics and city building. You'll start out with a lonely settlement to build up from scratch, while slowly building up trade networks and relationships with neighboring, up-and-coming kingdoms, just like yours. The goal? Total domination, obviously. But whether you set out to to achieve medieval superiority through trade and coin, or sword and shield - the choice is yours to make.


Rule your transcontinental kingdom in <span class="bold">Grand Ages: Medieval</span> now on GOG.com.

Hey all,

First and foremost, many thanks to those of you who have purchased and pre-ordered Grand Ages: Medieval. We're delighted that we were finally able to provide Galaxy multiplayer with a release and we're sure you'll enjoy donning the crown and acting all monarchingly :).

I'm here to provide some information on a small error we encountered earlier today. As we conducted QA on the final build, we uncovered one issue that, while not game breaking or functionality impairing, is a bit irritating for non-Galaxy users. Upon launch, if the game fails to detect a Galaxy installation, a pop-up will appear advising that there was a Login error and that Multiplayer functions have been disabled (a user named Leon Vasselios will appear in the pop-up, but this is merely a reference to an in-game character).

We'd intended to address this issue prior to launch and to limit the pop-ups to when the Leaderboards and Multiplayer options were selected, but were unable to do so given how close to launch this issue was identified. As this issue does not impair the functionality of the game in anyway, we made the decision to proceed with today's launch, as the alternative would have been to delay launch until Monday, when a proper fix could be tested and put in place. However, we wanted to be open about this error and to apologise for any inconvenience caused by this minor annoyance. Our current aim is to have a post-launch patch out by Monday at the very latest, which will correct this Main Menu pop-up and reduce the pop-ups to the Multiplayer and Leaderboard options, with a tooltip displaying over the friends list option, to highlight that these functions require GOG Galaxy log-in.

As we and developers continue to work with Galaxy, we're inevitably going to encounter teething problems like this. However, we'd like to reiterate that our intention is for Galaxy to remain a fully optional client and to ensure that those who decide not to avail of the client can still enjoy their games with minimal hassle.
We apologise once again for the error and thank you for your support!

All the best,
B0SC0

Thanks for the info. This is the right way to deal with things like this, being honest and upfront with your customers.

Also, I see GOG is the publisher. Nice one.

It was also Kalypso here during the preorder period. At any rate, it's Kalypso again.

Think someone mentioned it already being available?

Steam version is up at least. That said, GOG reviews kind of have a history of having glorified reviews, I guess it's spilling over into new games ;)

hear hear, very good announcement. The fact that you're intending to fix it for non-Galaxy users and make it clear what's happening should keep everyone happy :)

(most important being you told us rather than people finding out and having to learn of the intent to fix it after the fact)
Posted September 25, 2015
Hmm, some interesting language at the end of that post. Thanks for posting the info, though, B0SC0. For the record I have no intention of using the client and would like to enjoy my games with NO hassle. :)

Nice looking game - I definitely look forward to buying and playing at some point in the future!
