The demo has been released like 4-5 days ago. This fantasy RTS will be awesome. The demo is only 457 Mb, so download & try it, if you like the genre.

Download the demo from GamersHell

"Only 457 MB", well that's new.

Any way, I have a feeling I've tried a demo of this some time ago. I have seen the trailer before, at least. I don't like the idea of fantasy units fighting against tanks, or even existing in the same world, so I'll pass.

Actually tanks won't be in the game AFAIK, it was just a "joke" from the devs in the beta version. I am playing with the demo for 1 hour now, and I've only found fantasy units. In fact I've found lot of different fantasy units, like 10-15 so far. [Not to mention that creatures of the same race can be different, Ive seen 3 different ogres, and their size was various also.] The graphics is excellent, and the gameplay aswell. This is like 5x better then Spellforce 2. for example. You should give it a try definitely.

PS. You were surely playing with the BETA. This demo is totally different, everything has been upgraded since then greatly.

Speaking of "messiah", it comes from a hebrew word, right? What does it mean?

As in, you're not liking SE-V all that much? Just picked up SE-IV, must say I think I like it better than GalCiv2. Be disappointing if the sequel wasn't as good as IV.

I'm not sure of the order they were published, but here are some of the games I have on my computer:
Betrayal at Krondor, Beyond Good and Evil, Dungeon Keeper, King of Dragon Pass, Mount & Blade, Ultima IV, ADOM and Dungeon Crawl and few other free games. Oh, and a remake of Star Control 2. I have only finished Beyond Good & Evil and ADOM.
I uninstalled Morrowind a while ago, and it never caught me. And I never tried Neuromancer, and never got underground in The Bard's Tale. And I didn't bother reinstalling Fallout (1) after it vanished in some accident or other; I thought I had gotten pretty far before the accident, and I didn't want to play through all of it again. There's also the Dungeon Siege I never bothered installing because I wasn't interested.

In other words, no, I didn't try the demo of M&M: Dark Messiah. And I borrowed my HoMM1 cd to someone and haven't gotten it back yet.

Endo I guess he meant that the Dark Messiah demo is 1.5 Gb.

450 Mb for a demo is nothing in 2006. There are lot of games with ~1Gb demos...but I guess it is not important at all, since our internet connections are very fast..well at least for most of us.
I was downloading this demo with 2Mb/sec with my 6mbit dsl line [however it is not capped, so basically it is a 24mbit dsl line] from a local gaming site. It was downloaded in a few mins. If the gamershell link is not fast enough, try to look for a d/l link in your country, those are usually not capped.

PS. Dark Messiah is a fantasy "FPS". It looks very good, I might buy it actually, but hell knows, since I have lot less time to play with games in these months, and it will be even worse. I want to focus on Doms 3.

I've played a bit more.
I must say that the AI is awesome in this game. You can play the Undead and the Elven faction in the demo. I've played a skirmish with 3 AIs. I teamed up with one. I was playing undead, just like my AI teammate. The 2 enemy AIs were with the Elves. Our asses were kicked badly. One of the AI players attacked with a huge force. I am not kidding the AI moved like 200 elvish archers, unicorn, griffins and other troops to my base in the same time. It seems that the AI is only attacking when its recruited huge amount of troops. My AI teammate was also owned by the other AI player.

I gotta play more with the Undead, becuase I've made lot of mistakes, even my AI teammte did much better then me

The MP will be also awesome. RTS fans must buy this. I've just pre-ordered the game in this minute.
