Maighstir: Not necessarily, that may just be a false promise so that they can get another soul to sacrifice to the Good Old Gods in exchange for games to sell.
Old Gods? Crusader Kings 2 confirmed.

I mean, Epitaph won't know it's a lie, since sacrifices normally end up with the sacrificial being fairly dead, and it's only him it was targeted at.
but what if i get resurrected...Necromancers are plenty in here...

And Pimp, please notify me when you're finished :)

Matruchus: Well Easter is celebrated in most of EU per Catholic/Protestant calendar. But yeah. Happy Easter to you Orthodox Christians too :)
And Happy Passover to all the GOGlodytes who roll that way.

I don't think the different Easter dates have anything to do with that, but rather with the fact that we still calculate easter time according to the julian calendar despite switching to the gregorian one in 1923...

Treasure: I don't think the different Easter dates have anything to do with that, but rather with the fact that we still calculate easter time according to the julian calendar despite switching to the gregorian one in 1923...
Julian/Gregorian calendar is only one part of the reason (that accounts for the "big" difference (0 or 1) vs (4 or 5)). The other part (the reason why there is a "small" 1 week difference) is due to the different methods in calculating the lunar phase.

This year we get both combined, so there is a massive 5 week difference between the two.

The Western Easter is more "astronomically" accurate, but the Eastern Easter always takes place after Passover, so it's more "religiously" accurate.

I have parents from both backgrounds so we celebrate both Easters. Unless of course they fall together anyway.

EDIT:
As a side notice, some Christians up till recently (not sure if still) had yet another method of calculating Easter. Basically, while most Christians celebrate it on Sunday, the same day of the week Jesus was resurrected, they'd instead celebrate it on the same day of the month Jesus was resurrected, as per to the Hebrew calendar, which is a day or 2 after Passover, not necessarily on a Sunday. Not sure who exactly does/did this, but I vaguely recall it being practiced by a few communities somewhere in Georgia/Caucasia. I could be mistaken though.

Konrad: We'll take you up on that offer come Monday. ;)
I'm surprised! I knew the (Coming Soon) thing on The Witness and Braid had only previously been done for the three games introduced in the last sale, but I didn't think we'd get another sale so soon. Neat!
