In my opinion, it was a bad idea to place the demo in Early age, because it doesn't show the variety available.
- poor missile troops
- no crossbows. Crossbows are interesting because of their power, which comes at a price. Bow/crossbow duels etc.
- generally very poor protection on units.
- very few cavalry units. What's the most important is the lack of lances, which are cavalry's selling point. If I remember correctly, indy HC has lances, but most players won't realize that.
EA units seem to be largely lightly armored melee. Doesn't sound very tactical to me.
By the way, this sounds like a serious problem. Doesn't happen to me, perhaps because I install all third-party apps locally. (K)Ubuntu 6.06
). I found it on Happypenguin.org

DO NOT INSTALL THE DEMO IF YOU USE KDE!
It ****s up your KDE! To fix KDE after installing the Demo, do this:
open a console
go to ~/.config/menus
type "locate applications.menu" and press enter
The output should list an applications.menu file somewhere in /etc or where KDE is installed on your system. If no output happens, run "updatedb" as root and try again
now open the file ~/.config/menus/applications.menu with a text editor
There should be a line reading <MergeFile type="parent">/etc/kdg/menus/applications.menu</MergeFile>
replace that path with the output from "locate applications.menu"
Logout of KDE and login again. This fixed KDE for me.
Sorry guys, no sell to me with such a ****up. I just might have bought the game even though I'm unhappy with combat (which I might be wrong about after all, but who can tell after 40 turns?)
