I Was Ripped OFF!

I would just like to chime in and say that the demo worked on me. It gave me just enough to learn what the game was about and get involved with some games. By the time I was able to max out all paths of research within the 40 turn limit, I was hungry for more.

Likewise - back in February I checked out the demo; played about a dozen games (maybe more - some of the early ones didn't get to turn 40 ) and definately knew I wanted it. I think the Last game or two, I was actually winning by turn 40 (Jotuns), and trying to race to win by 40 on Aran.

Yes, I sometimes wished research wasn't capped at Lvl 4 (now I wish you could set a cap on magic research level in the full game ), and was definately bummed at the game ending at 40, on the couple of games I was like "10 ... more turns! I could win in ... 10 more turns!" But it's a demo - you don't expect the whole game, full features, etc. I wanted ... the other races; the other maps (the two in the demo get old fast, albeit Aran isn't bad for SP); the higher magics, the thrill of getting my butt kicked, the agony of victory.

Great demo - I loved it so much, I bought the company. Ahem - I mean, I bought the game the day I was laid off.
