wow thats a lot of infos in a single thread!

speaking of the demo, what are the restrictions when it comes to hosting? I suppose this is the demo which command how the hosting is done?
Can a demo binary host a full game (with full nations, etc.). I ask that to know if a server can be set without an additional licence.

The demo is rather restricting on races availability by the way. I thought you would just put the 40 turns limit (with perhaps 2-3 races suppressed). Oh well I suppose few pbem games will be tried in demo mode. I hope this wont be too detrimental for new comers which want to play a bit before buying.

Psitticine :
About the Void Gate : You seem to imply that several mages can enter simultaneously the site, is it true? Does others sites are like this one? This is a new feature in doms II, and very interesting I would say.

Saber :
Generally speaking defence is very high priced in dominions. So you will often think that units like amazons are too costly, with for example the pegasi rider at 50 gp. Depending on how you use them, they are worth the price, or not (being shoot at by missiles units is a sure way of not having the benefit of high def).
