I just read the FAQ, was to excited to read it at first. I just hope I am able to get in the alpha once released. Trust me I will play the crap out of the game. I am very good at breaking alpha's and reporting. 

I know right.. I have over 1000 hours on base GC3 and I bet I had just as much in GC3 alpha. I got my 100$ worth.

Ah, that's better.

My original post..

Yet another GC3 founder here.  Looking forward to CG4.  Not sure about getting into the alpha, but I'll be waiting (impatiently) for the game.  

I should start hitting F5 now, right?

yet another founder chiming in that they would like to give Stardock the amount for the base game in June and do a possible upgrade if offered later down the road.  I would start hitting f5 on the forums come June 1st looking for that alpha announcement.  I won't have the cash to do a lifetime purchase right at the start but if there's a upgrade option for $60, I could swing that.

Same here, GC3 founder and would do it again. 

Will GC3 founders have a "privilege" like first in line for GC4 founder? 

And damn you , my work is gonna suffer today for not being able to think clearly after this news       

It's interesting how much things have changed since 2014 in terms of being able to run founder programs.

So the short answer is that we will have a way for people to their their various accounts into the Stardock account so that we can, eventually, provide some sort of lifetime offer to people.

But the days of a developer being able to run a big founder program off their site using someone else's digital distribution platform have sadly passed on.  

No worries though, in the long-run, we'll make sure that it all works out so that our supporters get taken care of.

Looking forward to it!

Hi there, another GC3 founder here. I would also support a new founder program or opportunity for GC4 and it has no need to be "big" but I want to be part of it

Just for the record

Ditto.  Would love the chance to help test.  I remember testing and early modding for GC3. Good times.

Hoping to be able to get involved in the Alpha. I was too poor to get in on the Founder's Program for 3, but I've been involved in betas for ToTA and Legendary Heroes.

I had this recent urge to play lots of all three GalCivs and now this is coming out this soon. Looking forward to the next chapter in the story.

Did the signup nw to wait.

If it goes like III did then I will put at lest 1k hours in alpha.
