Um, when I log on it says I'm an alpha tester, but I havn't gotten an email or anything. I clicked the play button on the homepage, chose my race and then only the backround showed. I also tried logging into the game client, but it merely said I needed to update my client version. Help?

Ya that got me too. If you look though it does say you have to doqnload the game to play. The page you are prob looking at is the managment page. You use that web page for managing o people and cities.
It is all vaery new to me and confusing. Hope this helps.

Confused but learing slowly.

if you downloaded the game client a while ago, then you will have to go to the home page click on the download tab, and download the latest patch. then when its done downloading run it and it will do it all on its own. then you can play the fighting part hope this helps
