Demo Discussion Thread

[Sir Beane]

This is a thread for the discussin' of the demo, hence the name. It isn't out yet but it will be soon and we'll need a thread to contain the excitement/crushing disappointment/indifference of those who have played it.

Let us hope it is good, demo legion.

The demo is being released on Friday 20th, 4pm via Steam. Be there or be a four-sided equilateral geometric construction .

Maybe a few of the "demo this" and "demo that" threads could get merged with this one? There's an awful lot of discussion going on but it's sorta spread out among a number of threads.

[Sir Beane]

I'd prefer if this thread was free from discussion speculating on when the demo will be released, which is what most of the other threads are full of. I'll close the irrelevant ones and then hopefully the rest will die a natural death as people begin posting in this thread.

That works too.

I just perused the Steam news page and found no mention of the soon to be released demo. Kinda odd isn't it? I've never used Steam before so maybe I'm looking in the wrong place...

Nah. They are just likely trying to prevent people accessing it earlier than CA would like, like what happened a few weeks ago. They probably won't announce it until the moment CA gives the O.K.

4pm GMT?

[Monsieur Alphonse]

4pm GMT?

= 16.00 hours in England.

[Barkhorn1x]

4PM GMT - so that's like 11am EST. Which means I will have to slog through another 5 hours of work before I can leave and get home to d/l.

Crap.

I'm leaving early.

...and can someone be so kind as to post some screens this afternoon/evening to whet the appetite?

[TenkiSoratoti_]

As a British Empire fan I am heartedly excited about charging my brave Redcoats up that hill to attack yet another US army camping like big girls blouses. Brandywine should be a British battle honour in my opinion, for all regiments involved.

And Lagos? Superb.

British triumphs all around; huuuuuzaaaah!

[Greyblades]

This is going to be the longest 2 hours & 6 minutes of this year.

[ToeAndno]

You think the next 2 hours are gonna be long?

You wait until you click Download, now that is gonna be a long wait.

[Greyblades]

Point taken

[pyradyn]

It is almost here and now we will see what Polemist does with his power. Should the demo legion not disband....we know the true intent!

On topic I will post everything about it. I am American and have no problem playing the British, in fact I think Prussia should have won the war of Independence

"How are we doing on the field Lt?" General
"Sir the Prussians just announced victory" Lt
"Wait what the Prussians do not even have troops here?" General
"They are just that good sir" Lt
"Well blasts, lets go home...." General


That is how it should of gone down ^_^

[Fisherking]

For those who would like to know what they are fighting.


This is a good account of the battle and goes into better detail than most.

This is the best account of a rather lack luster event that has gone down as a decive British Victory.
I was a bit disappointed to see how one sided it actualy was.

Only an hour to go!

[Haxorsist]

I checked my clock and saw it was 4 and almost peed my pants. After 10 seconds of joy, I remembered I live in a GMT +1 zone. =/

[pyradyn]

Ya sadly we have 38 more minutes left lol but soon we will have it soon!

[Rhyfelwyr]

31 more minutes of PAIN

[Wausser]

I'll kill those last 30 mins by bringing a book back to the library

I'll pass the remaining 26 minutes by sitting curled up in the corner, shaking and crying.

[The Fuzz]

Okay, now I'm getting a little excited...

Pity I've got class in an hour and a half, which means that I won't be able to play it until the afternoon. :(

[Zoring]

1am! Who on Earth releases a Demo at 1 in the morning :D Gar. Going to be tired tommorw.

[NagatsukaShumi]

Ugh, this annoying.

I have to set off for work, I clock in at 4pm and my mother hasn't a clue when it comes to PCs, so I can't even leave it to download whilst I am out! I am going to have to contend the servers being gridlocked. Gah.

[ETWUnofficial]

I think they're surely much more likely to be gridlocked for the first couple of hours than when you clock off work?

Right now the official Sega site is practically buckling under pressure, I'm guessing from hits since they announced the demo is gonna be out in like... 12 minutes now...

I am actually dizzy with excitement

[Sir Beane]

10 minutes to go!

This is terribly exciting.

[ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88]

Can't wait!

I have to agree. While Steam is usually pretty good (really good) about having high download speeds, I can only imagine how many people are just sitting, waiting, with their finger on the proverbial button.

10 (+/- 5 min) to go. God help steam if they aren't right on time, just think of all the "OH GOD ITS NOT THERE" posts that will happen.

[Wausser]

the demo is allready in the list, but I can't seem to download it

[ToeAndno]

Because it's not available yet

[Monk]

Because it's not available yet

Yup. The link is up but it doesn't lead to anything, they are still in the process of setting up the actual download page.

Patience all!
