Whare are you from?

Actually that's not a bad idea to exclude eremor and the aquatics. That way new players won't get frustrated trying to start games against ermor or aquatic nations...because it is hard to deal with those until you understand the basics of the game.

Well you guys have seen the new Version, and I havent. One of the good things about the old demo was that the extra niceness of it helped us to convince people to keep at it when they complained about the interface.

Everything is scales, like it is in the game. If the new interface is good then the demo doesnt have to be such a gift, it can just do the minimum demo job. If the game has good balance on the first delivery (I know we arent giving you as much time as Dom 1 had) then the game can cost the regular market price. If it gets marketed then this can be the forum for its discussion.

I think this is probably a good thing.

I also think that this proposed demo might even be a little too generous - one of the biggest draws for me to buy the full Version is the fact that you can't use your nation's coolest units in the demo. Also it seems like a 60 turn limit would be hardly a big problem - it's really possible to finish out a small map in 60 turns.

Have you (devs) closed the loophole that allowed you to research beyond lvl 4 in the Dom I demo?

The first couple times I played the demo, Ermor got included by accident (or by a glitch?) and it really ruined the experience for me. There I was, doing great, holding my weight against 'normal' nations, and this invincible army of darkness cleans up all the other AIs, then me. You can't counter Ermor with normal tactics, and you can't even bottleneck them, since they take over all the oceans and invade wherever they want. So I think removing Ermor from the demo is a very good idea.

Oh, i see...
I definedly hope my mom will (pre)order the game for me...

And what nations did you exactly remove from the demo?

Yes.
