I'm always looking for ways to make some cash from Soldat while still having the game free. This version has some ads in the installer. You can choose to install some useful software if it is presented to you. Also you might see an option to install a Soldat Community Toolbar which will most of all keep you updated with community news and useful links. That's it. Without further adieu these are the new files. Download and have fun!

Soldat 1.5.0d Update
News from EnEsCe
Register Soldat for Free
Well of course not really for free. But I have a really cool deal where you buy one thing and get a Soldat registration for free. I've had this working for a while but I hesitated to publish any news about it until I had a bunch of satisfied players that used it. I`m happy it works!

It is called TrialPay and it is just an additional path for you to get your full license, which is completely equivalent to what you'd get if you took the simple direct payment route. The way it works is you get a couple offers from different companies and if you buy or try one of their products you get Soldat for free.

The guys at Cortex Command or RoboForm are using it for selling full game versions. So its best if they explain it fully:

We're especially excited about the fact that TrialPay customizes its offers to your geographical location. If you live in the U.S., you will get offers from big-name U.S. brands like GAP and Blockbuster, but if you live in China or South America, you get affordable offers for local businesses in your local currency: prepaid cell phone cards, regional shops, etc. Since you get the Cortex Command license for free with the deal, this means it's a much lower expense for you than having to pay a fixed U.S. price in U.S. dollars.

Even for U.S. customers, it's pretty satisfying to be able to choose an offer you're interested in anyway, and then get the game for free on top of it! It certainly made my day when I got RoboForm, and managed to surprise the wife with flowers at her work.

We understand you might be as skeptical as I was initially, but at least check out the offer page. If nothing else, it's pretty interesting to see what random deals you get.


Get Soldat for Free!

I'll be posting some Soldat 1.5 related news soon so come back here in a while, see you.
Soldat Xmas Special!
From MM:
There`s just about 2 weeks left until Christmas. Because of that I made a special offer for all of those that still don`t have a Soldat registration or those that want to give somebody the best Christmas present ever. So read on. At the end of this news you`ll find a special coupon.

I haven`t posted for a while but there`s some stuff going on in the Soldat world. First of all we have a completely new Soldat Forums. If you go on the front page you`ll see some news about the Soldat World Cup which just ended. We have a new winner!

For server admins: there is a small patch available on the server boards.

Soldat 1.5 is in beta stage for a while now. There are just some final tweaks that we need to make to prepare it for release. So I guess early 2009 we`ll have this version officialy out!

In other news: there is a super secret project that we`re doing with FliesLikeABrick and ElephantHunter. I`ll write more about this in the future, but for now let me just say the improved Soldat Forums are just the first step in the upcoming changes. I can mention three words that you can expect from this new project: community, accounts, rankings.

Oh yes and the coupon! There is little time left. So if you don`t have a present yet for your little brother (sister) or yourself don`t hesitate. In just 5 minutes you can be playing the Registered Soldat version with the minimap, increased resolution, customizable colors, interfaces and more. Or maybe you simply want to help me out in making games with money.

Just go to the registration page and in the coupon field type in:

XMAS

and instead of the original price of 13.99$ you`ll get Soldat just for 9$!

Buy Soldat for 9$
