I still have my Amiga. So i have time to test this out. And if it won't work, it is a kind of thievery

Here is one Karma for you sir for still having an Amiga!

I sold my A4000 with Picasso IV card age ago - was such a lovely system

Download Impulse at http://www.impulsedriven.com/

Install it and you can update your game to the latest patch version.

I am having a lot of problems with Impulse as well. I think it's an unnecessary evil

It IS necessary for Stardock's business model... There are numerous posts as to why it is beneficial etc... Your best bet is to contact support@stardock.com rather then just bitch about it. Impulse is here to stay and the Sins manual states that it will be the method for updating the game...

I have to say good job stardock. The download of 1.1 took only about a minute it was fast as hell. The game itself is even more amazing now to. The graphics look a lot better and so do the new meshes. The AI is a lot smarter than it used to be to which is nice. All in all keep it up Brad and Stardock good job. Looking forward to seeing entrenchemnt now.

Try living in Australia with slow net and usage quotas, its taken me half an hour to get 10% done. And once we hit or quota limit and get slowed down further it would take even longer.

Having a hard copy of the patch on hard drive would be incredibly useful, should reinstall be necessary.

I'm in Australia - same "problem".

You can do what you asked for - make an archive file in Impulse. And when the next patch comes out, you only need to download the files that are different (i.e. the delta) and these are compressed when they are sent to you. So you don't need to download a 100MB everything combined patch to apply 20 MB of required changes...

I'd also suggest you get an account with higher usage limits to prevent shaping, or get a faster plan or download it during off peak time.....
