Thats not a bad idea but it might have to be worked on abit more. I understand that you are trying to avoid feeling like a theif and cheating (thank you for that!) but to test an idea like this you have to think like a thief.

If I can create a host copy of the game which will allow players from a specific CD key, and I can create client copies of the game which can play, then all I have to do is upload the host and the client to a warez site.

Im hoping something gets figured out which will allow people to test play Dom abit more but I know its not going to happen if it even looks like it might lose more sales than it generates.

You might try downloading the old Dom1 demo which limited research and dropped a couple units but it did allow lan play and no turns limit (you could finish a game)
