Must See Thread Over at the Center...

It's the old supply and demand argument. The demo got released to places other then the demo site in a few days, and I'm sure etw patch will follow suit. You can get it on steam of course but i'm sure you can get it else where to.

I only hope CA is being logical. As much as I want a patch i'd rather small 100 or 200mb patches then a 3 gig patch that takes me another 3 days after I get the main game.

If the patch is that big or similiar i'll just skip it till later, or download it into a seperate fill and add it myself.


The news was not that discouraging to me, I knew most of this.

Again the diplomatic, government, tech, trade and other sides have been beefed up to make the game different each time you play it. Rather then i'm going to play egypt because they have 4 new buildings and 10 new units that Rome dosn't. With revoultions, tech, and changing governments I am optomistic that each game will play out quite dramatically different. Similiar to RTWBI (which I enjoyed).

i guess the advantage is that the day 1 patch wont be required to play the game, so u can still play and enjoy without downloading or even while downloading. Again i see steam being a problem because it prolly wont let u play the game without downloading. God i think they made a bad decision. hopefully u can tell it not to update then just download from a 3rd party site and play at teh same time.

yay for the wonder that is steam! /sarcasm off


edit: oh and other cool thing. because of how awesome steam is, my house hold has to either download the demo and any patches 3 times or just have it on 1 pc. both my housemates and i have ordered collectors editions but neither of them have played the demo cos they cbf downloading the demo and using up to 6 gig of our download limit. yay!
