Hi everyone,
We're proud to announce the forthcoming launch of our Steam version of Illyriad. After some consultation with Valve, the launch date/time has been set as Wednesday the 11th of January at around 2000GMT. Please note the changed date! Unlike the regular web version of Illy, the Steam version of Illyriad costs 4.99USD/3.99GBP; however for this price you do receive an additional starting bonus of 200 Prestige, which is a modest one-off discount on the current price for 200 prestige. The Steam version works side-by-side with the current game and is played in the same world as everyone else, however it comes with some additional functions:
If you're:
If you're an existing Illy player and you choose to purchase the Steam App, we'd be super-happy if you could leave a favourable review on the Steam site when the game becomes available. Collectors of Steam Achievements will be delighted to know that we'll assign achievements retrospectively, so any milestone you've already reached ingame over the months or years will instantly give you their respective Steam Achievements. We look forward to ushering the new year with an influx of Steam players! Best wishes, SC Edited by GM ThunderCat - 11 Jan 2017 at 11:10 |

Since steam take's a certain % of income from the game's they host,does it mean that the cost of prestige might go up, to compensate for that % age

I can't wait to play around with the Steam communities.
Players can start their own and Steam is also a social platform so chatting, trading cards..... cool! GMR

Will players who link an existing account and play on this new Steam version have the option to still use the browser, or access their account on other devices without Steam?

Yes, and players who have signed up through Steam can add a password on their account and preferences page to sign in with username and password; or use the Steam login option on the website log in page.

EDIT TO MAIN POST:
In a surprising fit of madness we wrote that the Prestige amount (in return for the software purchase) would be 500. It's not; it's 200. This has been corrected in the main post, and will be corrected on the Steam store page shortly. Many apologies for the error - no idea how that slipped through. SC

Additional full screen support - is this hinting at a UIv4 implementation?
