Default Demo questions

1) How many different nations can you play in the demo?
2) Can you play all three Eras in the demo?
3) When is it coming?

You can play 5 early era nations in the demo. And I would guess it's coming next week.

Argh...I thought that it will be out on the weekend at least. Ah well, patience a virtue!

The 5 are a pretty nice split for everyone.

Too bad about the "next week" thing. One of my hard and fast rules I've developed over the years is to never buy a game without playing the demo. Been burned way too many times. Especially when Christmas looms and game companies push crap out the door to make Christmas sales. Now I'm not saying that's happening here, but I've seen it too many times. So I always get the demo first.

Oh well, so the "Dom3 now shipping" message is completely useless to me until the demo comes out.

While waiting you can always play the Dominions_2 demo... should keep you entertained until the Dominions_3 demo arrives.

They're still shipping apparently huge backlog of preorders. So you're likely to get a chance to play the demo before ordering without compromising your waiting time too much

But you can play against every nation in that age. therefore you get to see them all - but not touch them!!

This one is an important one:

Will the tutorial be in the demo?
