The Hills are Alive...
...with the sound of new music for Ashen Empires! We are currently working to enhance the music in Ashen Empires with re-mastered versions of the classic Ashen Empires/Dransik music. Visit the AE Website home page for a sample of the new music (you can also download mp3s of the current music courtesy of the Videogame Music Archive).

Week of Power
We want to say thanks for your patience with the technical issues and crashes over the past few days. Once we're confident that all of the problems are resolved we're going to run a week of power hours and give everyone a week's worth of subscription time. We determined the cause of the crashes was a series of old draw routines, fixed several of these over the weekend, and will be touching up the rest of them this week. A positive outcome of discovering this bug is that we think we'll be able to fix crashes that have been previously very difficult to pinpoint. Thanks again for your patience and continued support.
