Hey Brett. I've been a huge fan of your games and design for quite some time, so first off, thanks for making them with such care and passion!
I'm wondering if would be willing to add your two other "classics" to Itch: Solar Settlers and Axes and Acres?
Why I'd like it: I am not planning on going back to using Steam for various reasons (my Mac is way too old to run it, not a fan of DRM, don't like that it promotes an environment of constant game buying).
I've heard several others in your Discord would be super into buying your games on itch too. I'm sure we would all be happy with them as-is, even if updates trickle through slower and online capabilities are turned off.
Anyway, something to consider as I think the upload effort would be small but there might actually be quite a bit of lurking interest. I'd be happy to promote the games too.
Just like with Brough's games, I think itch is a natural platform with a large overlap of interested audience.
Please consider this merely a kind provocation from a fan who is a happy owner of Militia on itch.
Might be able to do that, it won’t have leaderboards though. Are there things in particular you’re looking for ? There should be a steam key included with itch purchase by the way.
Sorry for the late reply. I only want the non steam version with the latest bugfixes. Leaderboards are not important to me. I only ask because I dont like Steam Drm. That's why I bought it here. So can you please update the non Steam version here on itch.io? Kind Regards
Same here. No update on Groupees, no keys in my bundle. Go to Steam, says I have to come here. Come here...no key. What's up? In the over 250 Greenlighted games I've bought through bundles over the past few years, I've never had to chase a key down like this.
EDIT: I posted a more polite version of this in the Steam Militia forum immediately after I posted here. Within half an hour, I received a key. I rarely see a developer this active, this fast, and this dedicated to a game so long after its release. His games are now insta-buys from me.

All the best!
Thanks for the lovely comment! I think it's probably a question of "when" rather than "if" at this point, but no firm plans.
Really appreciate the interest and the thoughtful argument.
Cheers!
Looking forward to it. Appreciate your contributions to strategy gaming!
Can you please update the Non-Steam Version to the latest version?

Sounds good. I’ll look into it ASAP
Okay new version is up (it's called Militia 1.15a)
Let me know if it works!
Seems as if everything works fine. Thanks for the update. :)
You're welcome!

Same as below, purchased groupees greenlight bundle 33 where Militia was featured...
When are keys coming?
Hello, where is the request key option?
