AlKim: The Swedish word for Thursday is "torsdag" which literally means "Thor's day", although a modern Swede talking about Thor's Day (as a holiday or something, instead of the idiomatic weekday name) would probably spell it separately ("Tors Dag") because that's how the grammar works these days. Almost all Finns must take Swedish at school, and even though I did really rather poorly there and honestly cannot fathom our language policy, I'm fairly sure that I got that correctly. Just don't quote me on that until my words have been busted or confirmed by a proper Viking.

JaqFrost: You get Viking approval on that one. =P I thought the language requirement was abolished quite a few years back, though? Is it back or am I just misremembering?
Nah, we've still got it because no politician has the balls to suggest abolishing the stupid system. They can and do defend the language policy with all manners of reasons, all of which have been argued, contested or disproved. My main gripe with the compulsory Swedish is that even if it did serve a functional purpose to a rationally defensible extent, it simply does not work in the form in which it exists today.

The Swedish used by Finnish government agencies and banks and such, is sort of awkward because a lot of the words and sentence structures are archaic in nature. You read it and go, 'huh?' Fortunately, all official documentation I've gotten from Finland has come in three languages, Finnish, Swedish and English, and the latter is excellent and not at all like Austen would speak.

...and this has nothing to do with Settlers 4 or otherwise. Sorry 'bout going off-topic, guys. =(

So no new release today, only a classic release?

SpikyGOG: and the lucky winner is.... le_chevalier :)
Yea, I got very lucky with that guess and now I own it. :D
It was my top wished game, so it's like GOG has answered my prayer. I was considering another two, Caesar IV and...can't remember the other one. GOG has added Caesar III and Children of the Nile. While early this year GOG released two Settlers. I had a feeling that would be more likely Settlers IV.
Later I heard that Settlers IV's on GOG'S This Week on GOG (TWoGOG). I didn't watch them because of my ISP's quota limitation. But I've already chosen my guess by that time.

There's no set schedule anymore. The amount of releases per week is completely random. Didn't you jabronis get the memo?
Posted August 01, 2013
Sorry, folks, come back in about 40 mins.

I bet it's something epic and GOG system couldn't handle so much awesome at once, thus the delay.

This means we will have a week with 200 releases, all of them the missing good old games from DOS era and pre-2004 era, right? RIGHT?
