Default Demo Restrictions??

I just downloaded the demo yesterday, and from the hours I've already spent today playing it (I guess being sick and missing school can be a good thing sometimes ) it looks like my kind of game. Was recommended to me in the SEIV forum. I was wondering what is available in the full Version that the demo is missing. A list of the major restrictions would be greatly appreciated. I sure hope there isn't a turn limit.... Thanks a lot!

The demo only allows you to play a few of the nations, restricts magic research to level 4, and has a 40 turn time limit.

I believe there are also restrictions to modding in the demo.

Hah! We managed to snag you! Now go over to the SEIV forum and pull more defectors over here!

Hope to see you in an MP game soon!

Trust me, you'd see me in a MP game, except I likely won't get the game until the end of December/early January Lets hope I can wait...

PS: I'm not a defector!! I just....just...just take a break now and then. Yes, yes that's it. Honestly!!

I'm downloading the demo now. Another 6 hours of downloading left on my slow dialup connection... I'm just going to try the demo, and I'm certainly not defecting! I will always be loyal to Space Empires!

One nice feature of the full game is that you will be able to continue your demo games.

When I started, I always forgot to write down my god designs--the game overwrites older designs--the latest design for any nation is the game's default for that nation. So if you take a Pythian Oracle, then play another game with Pythia and, say, a Virtue, your Pythian Oracle stats will be overwritten (the Oracle is still good for your original game, but every Pythian start thereafter, even AI positions, will use the Virtue, until you replace that with a new design).

The AI doesn't use your designs.

PS: Defecting is not a bad thing .

The challenge is to beat the game in that 40 turn limit. I suggest the aran map, 9 starting provinces and default jotunheim vs 6 difficult AIs(no water nations).
