How do I install Divine Right Online?
The application download and installation instructions are on this site at: Installation

Why doesn't DRO run in my web browser and instead require a client application?
The game generally needs a large amount of client-side processing. There are a number of menus and dialogs necessary to play the game. Therefore, it was easiest to build it as an application connecting to a central server. It is certainly possible to provide the same functionality through a web browser. We will release future versions with just such an interface.

Why doesn't DRO enforce the game rules?
The question back is: Which rules? The rules originally published with the game have been amended throughout the years and people also like to add their own "house rules". Also, the newly re-released board game of Divine Right will change the game rules yet again. We want to provide our players with the flexibility to play any variant they desire. We also have development constraints because this is not a money-making venture for us designers and programmers. Our limited resources are being placed elsewhere and are discussed in: Game Design

Where do I get a copy of the rules?
The current release of DRO is best played with the original published rules. If you don't own the old game and need a copy of them, try: Divine Right Rules

How do I play DRO with different rules?
We tailored the current release to be played with the old version of the rules. Because we enforce only the turn order, this leaves a lot of flexibility for variants. However, in order to support the newly published rules with the re-release version of the board game, we need to make some adjustments and add a number of new counters to DRO.

Is this related to the new re-release of the board game?
No. However, we are in close contact with the makers of this new board game as well as the original author of the Minarian legends.

How much does it cost to play DRO?
The game is presently in alpha test so installation support and play of the game is currently free. Although we will never be able to break even on the amount of money put into development (let alone the time spent) we will need to compensate the copyright owner for his permission to license his game. This will be addressed when we release the game.

Where do I find opponents?
We will eventually provide a discussion forum for this purpose. For the time being just email your availability to the DRO Moderator and he will set a schedule:

Do you have the owner's permission to use this copyrighted game?
Yes. We currently have Glenn’s permission to use his copyrighted material for playtest purposes, includingthis website.

Is DRO an Open Source project?
No. DRO is an effort to expose more people to Minaria and Divine Right via the Internet. While we do not plan to profit on the game, we do have a large investment in the game’s source code plan to keep it proprietary.

May I participate in the development of DRO?
Yes. We have four people who have directly contributed to the development effort and a number of playtesters. We have some lofty goals and would welcome any assistance getting us there. Please contact us with your involvement interest.
