Just some thoughts from a Noob
Had the Demo just over a week now. Hard to get excited playing anything else, although I am having fun PBEM'ing BoA.
The DIII game I am playing now is solitaire vs AI in the Demo. I am Arco. Having some hellish battles with Ulm. I thought for sure he was going to swallow me up. I beefed up provincial defenses in our two adjacent provinces. One province up to 100. I have read on here that PD is not worth the money. I would have to argue that in some circumstances......such as mine. I was able to get quite a little cav, a few elephants and about 60-70 grunts of various denominations in the province. Ulm had 180 units next door. Including Cave Drakes and his God, Sigerus (or something similar...a giant of a man). Killed him in a subsequent battle. Had it not been for the PD's the province would surely have been lost. It was pretty close, anyway. The beauty of those are....that if you DO hang on to the province, they all regenerate again, so they will be there next month.
Just thinking.....some of these huge battles are awesome. In the Demo there is no way to save the battle for later viewing. In the full blown game, can you save the battles for later viewing like in Total War?
Think the game would be great MP, but haven't tried it yet. Have my name on a list. Hope some of you out there will join Gandalf's Demo game so I can get baptized.
