Gold Soon?

[Gobalopper]

Can't wait much longer for Emperor to be released? Well according to Delphi the game should be going gold in the next day or so which means it could be in stores a few weeks after that. Chris Longpre also posted a few things as well, including some information on the Ixian Projector and on pre-ordering. Check them out below:

Ixian projectors are actually quite powerful. Their advanced understanding of energy & mass interactions allows them to create physical replicas of other units on the battlefield. They look & attack like the units they replicate. :) yes.. they do damage :)

There weakness lies in the inherent instability of the energy mass matrix, which does decay over time. A single hit from a stray bullet and they collapse & disappear. They also are easily spotted as fakes at point-blank range, so they cannot overtly lead a base assult. -LINK

As we stated earlier, the preorder program is open to any retailer or territory that wants to participate. However, we cannot force any territory or retailer to offer the program.

In some countries, there are no 'retail-chains' for software, and the hundreds of mom & pop stores are less likely to particpate.

The program is not unlike other promotions the software industry has done, where preorder customers get stickers, patches, key chains, pens, or special online privledges (i.e. private ladders & tournaments, etc). At least in this one, everyone will get the benefit once the promotion is over.

Hopefully with enough demand, other retailers will join this program, and if they don', the extra units will be given out to all after the promotion ends. -LINK

So if your local store isn't in on the promotion get them to email Westwood if you want to pre-order or already have and want to get the three units.
