its a gaming and download site that allows you to quickly find and download mods to popular games or buy/download games. its better for the mods in my opinion so far. but i saw aces high as a game download product for sale and i didnt expect it so i posted it to see how u can download it for free here but buy it for $29.99 there? :lol

BTS rocks.  What problems are you having?

Have you tried Civ V yet?  It's pretty, but they've taken out a lot of your control over civics and diplomacy.  The new combat system rocks though.  No stacking units.  War is a ton more strategic.

I wonder if Hitech, Pyro and Skuzzy might just have a bone to pick with them.

Aces High is a boxed sale now for $30 as I recall, it comes with a 2 month paid subscription. I'd imagine that is the same. Just a guess though.

$30 one-time fee... that'd be too good to be true.

i downloaded the mods realism invictus and planetfall and they are listed in the program as desura auto sets any mod into the correct folders for your programs. my problem is that my BTS edition is outdated for versions and patches. they only run on version 3.19. i downloaded both 3.17 and 3.19 but when i go back in 3.19 isnt installed. is there something im missing?

Ooooh...  that I couldn't tell you.  I'm not even sure what version I'm running.  I've always updated my game by going to the Multiplayer function.  It should autoupdate your client to the most recent supported version and take care of any problems.  *Shrug*

Maybe they have a deal with HTC's distributor, if you buy the game from Desura you get two months free?
