Quality Demo

[Orda Khan]

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? Better to make the customer feel he is a Godlike general

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.

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.

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..

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
