Some news from the Dominions demo front. The Windows version of the demo has been completed and is ready for beta testing. Hopefully it works ok (it did for me at least) and then only a Mac and Linux version remains to be done before Shrapnel can put it all up on their site.

Oh, yes. That is great news. Thank you.

Any chance you're looking for new demo beta-testers?

Nerfix · #4 September 26th, 2006, 04:41 PM

YES! OH UMOR YES!

Nerfix · #5 September 26th, 2006, 04:43 PM

So, how much longer untill the demo is completely ready!?

Naah... What's this I hear? Something new to test, what? Dominions? We tested that already didn't we, I think this can wait a few season. Err, weeks. I mean weeks. I mean, these Beastmen just destroyed my tula, because I had taken their leaders hostage when they threatened my clan, because I had raided a duckling village, because they didn't pay the tribute (well, my farmers wanted more land too, but that's no biggie), because I had stolen food from them when a curse had destroyed my wheat, because I couldn't trade for food due to Horse-Spawn having plundered my horses and goods when I had forgotten to re-issue patrols after raiding the Oak Trees to avenge the kidnapping of one of my clan's women, which they did because I had killed two of their hunters poaching in my area when my own hunters had a hard time catching anything because they were cursed when I broke promise I gave to a talking fox, but I had to do that because I had merged another clan to mine and we had become the largest clan on my corner of the Dragon Pass and I was forced to have more fields for feeding the newcomers next year and half of my thanes were sick because something I did had made Chalana Arroy send a curse upon me. And that's horrible!

I mean, where can I get the cows to, err, time to mourn for the dead! I'm sure the testing can wait until Storm Season, because there's so much to do now that the roads might still be open.

In other words: the demo'll have to tested inside and out, probably single- and multiplayer, and I just got to know we'll have to test it, and i just rediscovered King of Dragon Pass. Make a trickster sacrifice a few cows, that usually works. Just make sure he doesn't take foolish chances in battles.

Bummer... 97% of us have to wait longer for the Dominions_3 demo because of the 3% which use Mac and Linux.

I really don't think the Mac and Linux users will lose sleep if the Windows version demo is released a few days earlier.

How much money are you willing to bet ?

Well it is for sure that most of the people are using Window$. However 97%-3% is a bit hardcore, maybe its like 75%-25%.
Anyways, Im pretty sure that the demo will be out on this week.

Hmm, I think it will be out either by oct 2nd or a bit after it.
