    Totes. Try the link now. Basically, you need to download the new launcher from the Gamma forum [Link] and go from there.

    You can use the launcher, download the PTE version, go to the PTE version folder, rename it the same as the steam PA folder, rename the original Steam PA to "Not-PA" to keep it stowed away safely to the side, and then move the PTE version there.

    Someone confirmed this works, if the PTE is in place of the steam folder PA, then steam reads the PTE and connects you to the PTE.

    Use the launcher to download the PTE, or use SXX's "GO" Launcher.

    Lesson from last match; nukes are a thing.
    Also, is the nuke decal new? Because I don't remember seeing it before, and it looks awesome.

    Owch. Indeed, that hurt.

    Also found the following bug:
    @BradNicholson unable to deliver on his promise of stomping. (kidding. Wasn't completely fair anyway, he was fighting dark blue when my army found them.)

    GG. I got kills so I got my share of the game for myself. The kill was Brad btw, using naval, he built on the other side of the pond and his commander was bathing so I decided to scrub his back with my flaming naval volleys. Cleaned it molten good :D

    Also, Mered friggin expanded really far, like 3 planets and the main 1 mostly covered. Don't know how much t2 he used, think he used grenadiers which are op t1 in this build I think (I also saw infernos, which are balanced). I am just wondering how he spread his attention so far as to cover 3 planets at the same time he did half of mine AND manage the gust to kill me and wondable.

    I would have done better had I camped in my pond, I had finished t2 bots defended by navy and already had t2 mexes and gil-e, and I had 90% of my t2 naval factory and was going for stingrays next so I would have exclusive control around the pond even against land armies.
