Demo wishlist

[Rodion Romanovich]

I'd like to have the MTW demo system back instead of what they did for RTW. In the Rome demo they just gave you two battles, in the Medieval one you got a taste of everything, and the last battle was awsome beyond words, and for a beginner really tested you on everything you learned. (It was my first TW experience, and as I watched waves of camels and infantry come over the dunes I was just ) I just liked that demo alot more, maybe because there was just more to do then a hand held battle and one historical battle.

Yes, the MTW demo really set me in a mood where I HAD to buy MTW! That, and a lot of people around me praising it so much. When I got the game, it turned out that everything they said was true. Maybe some people got scared by the Jaffa battle, but I didn't, rather the other way around! After trying ambushing, flanking and rock-paper-scissors in the other tutorials I understood the game wouldn't be like the Jaffa battle all the way through.

Actually a difficult battle like that AND a tutorial campaign like that in RTW, both proving that they're able to make the game challenging (I want to lose the tutorial campaign and/or the battle!), would IMO be nicest. After seeing how easy RTW was, I'm eager to get a confirmation through the demo that they're able to keep the difficulty up, that's one of my main concerns.

Like others, I'd like to see a demo like the MTW one (or the Shogun one), long, rather difficult and showing off a lot of aspects of the game.

I want to see a MP demo, but that's never gonna happen

[t1master]

along those lines, i'd like to see a demo that isn't scripted, and i'd like the battles not to be lightening fast clickfests that rtw demo/game were. i'd like units to respond to commands, groups to be sorted, kill rates to be sorted, i think elmo's got a post about rome around here.... ...

from the few in game vids i've seen, this doesn't look like it's gonna be the case...

Well, a demo with a taste of each aspect of the game would be nice. But I'd be annoyed if they included anything more than say two factions, with a limited number of units. I don't want the game spoiled.

A 100 years war battle with longbowmen :D and maybe a battle involving aztecs.

Why not both? Aztec making a cameo appearence in the 100 years war battle, getting shot down by Longbowmen.

My sentiment exactly.

I do sincerely hope that the M2:TW demo will be better than the R:TW one. That one showed the pretty graphics very well, but left very little for the player to experiment.
