To spend time and electric power to download the demo? Even further, to bother to enlist with Steam, create a password soon to be forgotten anyway, et cetera, et cetera? I think not. I didn't even have a peek at the M2TW demo--I merely bought the game, thinking it would be better than MTW, got disappointed, then even more disappointed when I bought Kingdoms. Nah, no ETW demo for me, but perhaps I'll buy the game sometime June or July to try if I'll like it. Saith an old English sage: "The proof of the pudding is in the eating." So,I'll not be satisfied with a demo only. Mrreow to you beautiful guys all!
