Multiplayer games idea

Grrr.

Perhaps they could make a special copy for me, where you could do that, as long as I promised to be good?

Sorry Wendigo - missed out your post.

I know the game is cheap entertainment. I am going to buy it for SP alone. But the main reason for me to buy it would be MP with my friends. Some of them would probably only play it MP vs me, and wouldn't regard it as cheap (in fact some couldn't afford it). So for me to play MP vs my friends I would need to buy multiple copies - one per "poor" friend. This rapidly takes it out of "cheap" and right into "scary".

Besides, from playing the demo it isn't cheap at all. I can't imagine the damage I'm doing to my health with all these late nights, my career with all this daydreaming about strategies, my lovelife with all this "Not tonight dear, I've got a really scary war with Ermor coming up" and so on....

In 5 years time people will be sueing Illwinter for damages :-D

You can also combine in a MP game full game copies with demo copies, so you can play your fav nation while limiting your buddies to the demo restrictions until they 'shell out' the money.

That could be really useful.... It would be a shame the game would have to end at turn 40, but hopefully I could get them all addicted...

Plus it would be SUCH a shame that they'd only get lvl 4 spells to face my lvl 9.

Would I have to use a non-patched full Version to be compatable with their demo Versions?

You have to use Version 2.08 to be compatible with the demo (demo is ver. 2.08 too).
