I have to agree with Johan. I was a new player who had no idea how the game works or what is good to doo and what is not.

I never hit the L4 barrier, neither did my friend I tried it with. We did hit the 40 turns limit several times, HARD. It left us screaming for more, much more. But then again that is why there is a demo. If you want more buy the damn game.

If the demo had been any longer, we would have propably just played it, since the game itself is quite expensive with shipping and all...

So to summarize my opinion. The demo of Dom2 was perfect for hooking new players. Who cares what the old players think of it? They have hooks in them from playing Dom1 anyway.

Let's hope there's a Dom3 coming at some point, so I , as an old player, may ignore the demo and buy the game and hope that the demo lures some new newbies in to get thrashed by me. Ah, can't wait... fresh meat...somebody that actually might even loose to me...

By the way, I do demand that Kalevala is included into Dom3. I know it's an evil Swedish plot to humiliate their dear neighbour, but I must protest to the absence of it.

It would be fun to use some song magic and earth magic to summon an Iron pike (Rautahauki, Järn gädda) or cast a "field of asps" onto somebodys province. It could even have sub-themes like Pohjan akka (Hag of Pohjola) or the Bear cult.

Black swans of death, hiisis, asp arrows, lots of different forrest spirits, magic based on singing and chanting, reindeer riders, even moose riders, the great forge of Ilmarinen, Sampo, shamanism...

Oops, I'm ranting...
