[Schiltrom]

[Sir Beane]

Nice!! I wonder how soon.

[Fisherking]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quite an original post!

I was skeptical, but it looks like all the posts and shouts for an ETW demo actually paid off.

I salute you, those members who were so persistent and determined that CA now believes we are absolutely rabid in anticipation of a demo that .com has donated an entire subsection to a demo. And rightly so!

You guys know how to get results. Kudos to CA for listening to the fans! THis is exactly what many of us were waiting for ( some more than others!)

[Emperor of Graal]

Uhhuh YEAH THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pester power in action! Much like an annoyingly loud and whiney child crying for sweets, we fans will always get what we want! (If we yell loud enough)

Polemists probably expects some kind of medal now.

We probably shouldn't overuse this new-found power however. If we annoy CA too much they might just snap. And no one wants that. They probably have muskets.

i assume this demo will be downloadable, i.e not have to buy a magazine for it right?

Almost certainly! The RTW and M2TW demos were both downloadable. The only real worry is the size of the demo, it may take a long time to download.

[Emperor of Graal]

Yup

[The Fuzz]

Inshallah I will be able to play this with my poor computer...

[Familyguy1]

Haha!!!! Over at TWC we found it first, 7:57am LOL. Im just kidding.

[pevergreen]

Polemists is going to be unbearable now.

[Megas Methuselah]

Btw, where is Polemists?

[lenin96]

Yay! Now I can change my signature back to normal! And is there any details on the Demo?

[Sir Beane]

Btw, where is Polemists?

Probably heard the news about the demo, and is still out partying somewhere.

[Sol Invictus]

Yeah, he will still be passed out while we are all playing the demo.

[Polemists]

Yes, yes, thank you, thank you.......

I would like to thank all the little people.

Monk...for always reminded me that yes, we do indeed have mods, and sometimes they view things.

Sir Beane...for trying to contain my wild enthuasim without me going postal....

Megas Methuselah...for asking where I am...I was relaxing and soaking in the glory of the moment

Fisherking...for pretending to be non enthuasitic.


lastly myself...for my own determination.


A medal? Oh no i'm expecting statues and a national holiday. This is EMPIRE after all lol.


I am happy to see the demo is coming though, sometimes a little asking goes a long way. thanks ca

[knoddy]

[Ishmael]

YAY!!! Finally, confirmation of a demo! When this is released, i may finally be able to convince all my friends to buy Empire (so that i can crush them in the multiplayer-mwuhahaha)! That said, thank god for Singapore download speeds.

Huzzah, Bravo, Here here, etc.

Do you have a day you would prefer to be made your national holiday? What kind of statue would you like?

It's good you didn't pass out from partying too much or just from plain happiness.

[Ishmael]

By the way, do you have to be a SEGA member to get the email announcement and/or download the demo?

[Sir Beane]

By the way, do you have to be a SEGA member to get the email announcement and/or download the demo?

Yes to get the e-mail announcement, but you don't have to to download the demo (I'm guessing).

[Polemists]

Since it will be distributed through steam I don't see any reason you'd have to be a SEGA member. All Sega member does is they will send you a e-mail saying the demo is out, come get it.

They will probably also do some kind of ramp up with a few screenshots.


Of course these things are minor to some fans, but vital to others (mainly us demo fantatics.)

[lenin96]

Does anyone know if we have to have Steam to play the demo, or is that just the full game?

[Polemists]

* STEAM will also host and distribute the Empire: Total War game demo which will be available on the run-up to release.

So it sadly sounds like yes you have to have it.


Good news, steam is free. You just go to steam's website (just type steam in on yahoo.)
