Yeah, I should have paid attention to my misgivings after playing the RTW demo and thus saved myself £30. I have learnt from my mistake and this time the demo will be all important.

Re: Quality Demo
In all honesty, the Jaffa battle did appear daunting but simply placing your small force on hold/hold it was remarkably easy to gain a victory because of the huge upgrades on your units. RTW and BI were much the same, only 16 Romans escaped in one of my Chalons victories. The MTW II demo will not be much different, what would be the point of a demo that is very difficult?

Re: Quality Demo
Yes... But most people who tried out that MTW demo, had never played a TW game before. Even I, an STW veteran (including MP) lost a few times initially until I learned to use my units to their fullest. It was very much a challenging battle.Originally Posted by Orda Khan

Re: Quality Demo
That Jaffa battle has some error in the adf file(in the full game). Saladin is supposed to be riding the royal ghulam troop, not Bedouin camel.
I've never played Total War demos. I just bought MTW out of curiousity. At the time (2002) it was pretty awesome to have a strategic game that plays out the battles.
Re: Quality Demo
If the demo is too easy than it isn't exactly encouraging either. With the BI demo I just lazily clicked some units not even thinking about tactics and I won the battle.

You're an uber hero I guess then.. It took me a while to get a Heroic on it as I remember..
"Cry, the beloved country, for the unborn child that is the inheritor of our fear. Let him not love the earth too deeply. Let him not laugh too gladly when the water runs through his fingers, nor stand too silent when the setting sun makes red the veld with fire. Let him not be moved when the birds of his land are singing, nor give too much of his heart to a mountain or a valley. For fear will rob him of all if he gives too much."

Re: Quality Demo
Don't think I remember the MTW demo but the Shugun demon was bloody hard!
You had about 8 samurai archers against 12 or so yari samurai, you were camped on a hill but still odds very much against as its hard getting 8 archers to get kills on 12 :o
maybe those guys should be doing something more useful...
