What would you like to see in the Demo? I above all would like to see an Aztec and conquistador battle. Maybe the battle of Otuma followed by the siege of Technochtitlan. I wouldn't mind seeing any battle in the New World for that matter. I do hope thought that the Aztecs and Incas and the Mayans are different in dress and military costume because they were nothing alike
i guess just battles youd expect like england vs france or england vs scotland and some eastern ones involving turks and byzantines etc.
id like to see some crusades or something, but i guess theyll just put some battles or maybe just a series of battles together.
The Timurids
I just want to see the Siege of Constantinople properly reconstructed.
It doesn't matter for me what's gonna be included, but I'd like to play it as soon as possible.. ~;)
- A mini campaign a la Tutorial campaign of RTW
- A custom battle mode for at least 2 factions, maybe not entire unit rooster but a big part of it for those factions, and a few different maps to try them out, one of which could be a siege to see the new wall-mounted siege equipment that needs to be manned. Perhaps England and France could be the factions ~:)
- At least one historical battle, how about Hastings? Allow us to play both sides in all historical battles (even though they could be balanced for one side and you could recommend one of the factions you think it's most fun to play it as), and do the same to the full version of the game plz!
a crusader historical battle (Hattin) medieval style (Hastings) rennaisance(Cortes and the Aztecs) i would ask for more but i have dial-up. downloading the BI demo took me like 3 days. p.s. and let us play both sides like in the BI demo.
They'll probably have Agincourt.
Unfortunately Legio, Hastings was in 1066, too early to be incorporated in the game, sadly i agree with you though, the Battle was a turning point for England, and would be a great way to prep us for the new game.Quote:

The battle was bloody, and Richard III died in the fight, and some men actually switched sides during the battle... think about that scenario for a DEMO. I already have.
I'd like to have the MTW demo system back instead of what they did for RTW. In the Rome demo they just gave you two battles, in the Medieval one you got a taste of everything, and the last battle was awsome beyond words, and for a beginner really tested you on everything you learned. (It was my first TW experience, and as I watched waves of camels and infantry come over the dunes I was just :dizzy2: ) I just liked that demo alot more, maybe because there was just more to do then a hand held battle and one historical battle.
I'd like a view of the strategy map.
I'd like a tutorial battle as in all of the previous TW demos and also a short version of the campaign (very short) like the Prologue in RTW.
Yes, the MTW demo really set me in a mood where I HAD to buy MTW! That, and a lot of people around me praising it so much. When I got the game, it turned out that everything they said was true. Maybe some people got scared by the Jaffa battle, but I didn't, rather the other way around! After trying ambushing, flanking and rock-paper-scissors in the other tutorials I understood the game wouldn't be like the Jaffa battle all the way through.Quote:

Like others, I'd like to see a demo like the MTW one (or the Shogun one), long, rather difficult and showing off a lot of aspects of the game.
I want to see a MP demo, but that's never gonna happen
along those lines, i'd like to see a demo that isn't scripted, and i'd like the battles not to be lightening fast clickfests that rtw demo/game were. i'd like units to respond to commands, groups to be sorted, kill rates to be sorted, i think elmo's got a post about rome around here....:laugh4: ...
from the few in game vids i've seen, this doesn't look like it's gonna be the case...:oops:
Well, a demo with a taste of each aspect of the game would be nice. But I'd be annoyed if they included anything more than say two factions, with a limited number of units. I don't want the game spoiled.
A 100 years war battle with longbowmen :D and maybe a battle involving aztecs.
Why not both? Aztec making a cameo appearence in the 100 years war battle, getting shot down by Longbowmen. ~:)
My sentiment exactly.Quote:

When do you think it will be released? I have a feeling that its soon, but what will a demo package contain?
:juggle2:
Moderator edit: merging your Demo! thread with wishlist one.
Well, usually one would expect the next Total War in September , but since the publisher changed and I read something about end of year release date, I wouldn´t expect a demo anytime soon. If the game comes out for Christmas, a demo more than half-a-year earlier would be somewhat weird, wouldn´t it?
and i though you mean the demo was here.:shame:Quote:
