Will we be getting Steam keys mailed to us? Or will there be a download link in the founder's vault? Or something else? Also, any word on the approximate time of day tomorrow?
We don't mean to pressure you, but as you can imagine, many of us are excited to get a 'first taste'.
Spaced until just after my lecture today. Rushed home and found this thread.
This thread is now on my second monitor with AutoReload enabled.
Not until you click an 'Install Game' button.
WARNING ANY STARDOCK AVATAR I SEE IS SUBJECT TO RECEIVE LOADS OF KARMA!!!
DARCA 
That was said after you have already activated the game in a previous post further up. Once the key has been entered and the game activated it will download once it is available. At least that has been my experience in the past.
How's everyone's excitement level at this point?
Mine's almost as high as Steve's here: 
Did somebody say Karma?
Get those Steam machines ready, going to be a long day.
Please elaborate, your cryptic statements are shattering my already brittle psyche.
I'm right on the edge.
Seriously I'm about to explode from my fatigue.
When you register the game please pay attention to the appid it shows up as, because when you register it, it looks like "Steam appid xxxxx". we can watch the steamdb to see when it gets published.
Unfortunately, I didn't pay attention and didn't record the steam appid.
However, looks like we'll be able to see when it goes live here: http://steamdb.info/
I got it from a chap on the IRC channel. 37748 is the Appid. start refreshing
Speaking of which, Stardock has an IRC channel! If you need to live chat with other GalCiv fans until the release go there

I'm worried I'll be out of cigarettes soon. This wait is making me light up new ones before the previous one is even smoked out.....
I've been pacing and making grilled cheese sandwiches for the past twelve hours, mashing F5 like a dumbass at every opportunity
So have people already received the keys? I have not gotten mine so I was curious.
Login here to get them. But they are not active yet: https://www.stardock.com/games/?from=nav
Log into stardock.com and check your "My Downloads" section
You need to mix some lead paint with it. It smooths out the flavor.
Go to store.stardock.com
You should have a key, if you bought the Elite founder deal, in the downloads section. You can then go to Steam, activate it, and wait like the rest of us, heh ... it hasn't actually shown up yet, Frogboy is still trying to ribbit it out. 
The keys are posted on your "my downloads" pages at the store but steam and steam will accept the key but the game wont show up in your library yet.
Okay. Whew. Thought I was going crazy when it didn't show up on Steam, even though the product key was accepted by Steam. I hope there are no further problems!
