The full version of EMPIRES OF STEEL has just been opened for download today!

If you have pre-ordered a copy, you have been notified by email earlier this morning that you can download your files. If you have not pre-ordered, you can now order the full version of the game for $45. Delivery options include Download Only, Mail Delivery Only, and Download & Mail Delivery. Hardgoods consisting of a CD will be ready for shipping within 7-14 days.

If you have the free beta demo, you will not be able to upgrade your game to the release version (v1.0.196). You will need to purchase a full version in order to do that.

The release version of the game comes with countless improvements, bug fixes, new features and a revised interface that are the result of YOUR excellent community feedback from the free beta demo! The full game version removes any restrictions on playing maps, using the editor and other reduced features that were present in the demo. You can play any map, including randomly generated maps or those created in the full-featured editor; you can create new rulesets and unitsets to simulate specific time periods; you can swap mods and files with the built-in community File Sharing; and you can play multiplayer with up to 10 people using the unique in-game chat and lobby.

Don't miss one of the most innovative global domination strategy games available today!
