Hello EIC fan(s)

I found this on the lighthouse board this morning.

As Scandinavians can read on Gamer.no (http://gamer.no/article.php?articleId=617), East India Company will be published by Paradox Interactive, and released in September. Here's a quote from Paradox Vice-President Fredrik Wester:

This is a great game, and when given the opportunity to publish it, this was an easy decision to make. There hasn't been a good trade/fight/build game in a long time where you can manage huge ships and just go havoc on the seven seas. I think this is a welcome addition to the gamers who miss titles like Port Royale and other games in the same genre.

As some of you know, Lighthouse Interactive went bankrupt in January. Congratulations to Nitro Games for securing a new publisher. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /><!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Guess it will be a bit longer. Maybe they will add more features to the game before release <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />o)

Much better with correct smiley.. <img src="http://forum.piratesahoy.net//style_emoticons/default/smile2.gif" border="0" class="linked-image" /> Good thing they saved the game from it's death. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
 
Indeed, but it did not seem to work the first time. Just noticed that Show all feature at top of smiley bar.

As reported by Jay Leno the other evening.
"Researchers discovered that after the age of 27 we begin to loose mental capacities. . . That means Paris Hilton is at her peak this year."

They haven't fixed those smileys yet.. you have to right click on a non-working smiley in "show all" or that short selection to bring the menu up and select "copy image location" and press "Insert Image" icon in this common posting-a-post page and paste the image location and hit ok and you get this:

without spaces of course. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

I'm actually quite glad about this, I think they should have gone with Paradox from the start. They have a good reputation and can handle digital distribution as part of their core business model. Everyone's a winner <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />

Having to wait another 6 months though is a bit of a bummer.
 
This is good news! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" /> Paradox is a great company. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
