Make online-capable demo

It was originally our intention to do this, but we scaled back this feature once we realized how much work it was going to be.

We expect lobby populations to pick up slowly over time, and should really pick up once we start getting press coverage. (We've had no reviews yet...)

The problem, IMHO, is that it's hard to really appreciate how good the game is by just trying the demo.

Back when Dominions 2 was released, the demo was a great way to hook in new players. You could play games for up to 40 turns, with 7 out of 15 nations, and could research magic for 4 levels out of 9. That meant whole PBEM games could be played as well as solo games - only, one could not experience the full thing.
