Well every new version the number resets.
If you download it it goes down 1

New version it resets
If it doesnt email or pm tynan
It would be great if this information was mentioned in the emails and on the sendowl page... and added to the FAQ, so it's easier to check what is that 5-downloads limitation.

I really love forums, but having to manually search through the categories, threads, pages and posts, to finally get an official/semi-official word on a major feature is not the most efficient system - a FAQ and the download page would be a much more logical choice.

And it's really not trivial: it's a Digital Rights Management measure limiting the amount of download per version update, it directly affects the End-User license backers currently have. It scared the hell out of me the first time I saw this (download limits, out of nowhere).

General Discussion / Re: Introduce Yourself!

Hi, I'm [randomly generated nickname], from Europe  :)

-What introduced you to RimWorld? Or to this style of game in general?
An online gaming community told me about the game, it looked really fun so I got aboard the Kickstarter just on time. I'm a massive fan of Dungeon Keeper 1, but haven't really explored the whole strategy/management genre yet (even if I got all the classics on gog.com already).

-What's your favorite other games?

Too many to list, but I would go with: mods, immersive FPS games, tactical shooters and mods (too).

But if there's one RTS game I would pick, it would be Battle Realms (by far), it's really a hidden gem. It has excellent: balance (you can totally recover from a lost battle unlike most other RTS !), gameplay (diversity and clever use of abilities are massively favored over quantity), environment design (all the tiny details like the wildlife, or each faction distinct style affecting buildings, units, abilities and VA), level design (extremely gorgeous), sound design (battles do sound like battles ! and the Lotus clan... oh boy), music (got them on my MP3 player, it's incredible), voice acting (even the localized VA !!). It's on gog.com - I truly recommend it, even/especially to people who usually don't play RTS.

-Most embarrassing gaming-related story?
Realizing I've been shooting at teammates the whole time for the last few minutes or so... and was such a poor shot I didn't killed one, not even scratched them enough to get noticed. In these moments, you just want to hide in a cave and hope they forget about your existence :D

Then a few weeks later, you start getting good... And team-kill someone by pure accident "OMG so sorry ! :s", so you're really stressed and want to make sure you'll compensate that with several useful kills. Oops. Second TK, no more than 5 seconds later. I... I'll just sit in spectator or simply disconnect, I seem to really need it.

-What kind of breakfast cereal is the best?
Tough question... for a sophisticated breakfast that would be muesli, for a cozy-lazy breakfast on the couch/computer/console, any commercial cereals (Kellog's and the likes).
