    Modding the demo? How so and what exactly?

    I really cant wait to get a playable version of this game in my hands!
    Surely , CA won't involve the campaign map in the demo,but i'd like to see a couple of factions fighting each other in custom battles,so I hope my expectations will become reality

    Well, I remember that there was a program called "Rodeo" for the RTW demo. It allowed you to play custom battles in the demo although the demo itself only had a tutorial and 2 historical battles. You could play the Julii, Gaul, Carthage and the Senate with that mod while the demo itself only allowed you to play as the Carthaginians, I thought.

    So, when the demo hits, someone might make another program for M2TW and it might allow us to play the demo a lot more. :)

    Getting hold of any files you can find and changing them....

    Seriously, there were lots of mods for the demo (changing the battles, camera hack etc)

    The reason I would want the playable demo, is to see if the game would function properly on my computer.
    Its not flooding if you have something good to say.

    I hope there is another RODEO program for the MTWII demo, that little bugger really held the whole TW community off until Rome itself came out!

    And when people saw that nothing was changed even though we complained, the MP community, as was, disappeared overnight. It would be nice to think that MTW II will be good enough to encourage them to return

    Is there a possibility to send a mail to CA and just ask them?

    hmm, is that legal? i mean the original demo is what CA gives us as a try, if we then dig out more then what we were given isen't that a bit of stealing?

    Demo will probably come very close to the actual release of the game. This time I hope the reactions will be more positive than the last.

    I'm kind of afraid of the demo...

    I didn't see Rome's demo, but I'm guessing it wasn't very good.

    I would like to see a demo that encourages me to buy the game, but I don't want to get a demo that encourages me to buy a game that isn't very good. If the game isn't very good, then the demo ought to reflect that. To put it simply, I want an honest demo, not a deceptive one.

    The RTW demo was very limited in scope (which the modders bypassed to some degree) and was therefore pretty disappointing to the hordes of impatient fans. It wasn't deceptive though. IIRC many/most threads here were concerning how fast the units were, how fast the battle was over, etc. There were many calls for calm, that it was just a demo, that the real game could not be such a departure from the tactical skill of the previous games. Sadly, RTW was "just like the demo".

    No, CA put certain units and files into the demo, so we use what we were given.
