well it would be nice to have maybe 2 historical battles, prologue tutorial for the campaign,3 grand campaign factions and 5 custom batle factions. thats not really too much to ask i dont think

I was kinda hoping that we'd get the Norman Conquest of England part in the demo

Factions in grand campaign? If they let you play through whole thing even as one faction i'd ruin a variety of surprises and the like.

Whether people like it or not there are two major selling factors to most people in new total war, graphics engine, and new campaign map things.
They can't just let you choose any army you want because then they have no surprise there. The tutorial can't show you a entire faction area because then you'd lose something there.

Like I said if you honestly consider RTW just had one battle. You are getting 2 historical battles (preset factions), and a prologue. It's not a bad deal. Sides the demo isn't made for purpose of you having something to do for a month. Fact is despite tons of cool animations, there will only be so many ways to adjust your army (till someone mods it). It's just meant to remind people total war is coming out, and test out battle engine. At this stage though since everyone knows what there getting you might as well just learn to accept.

I imagine the demo will be out in early to mid October. IIRC the Rome demo was released very soon before RTW hit the shelves. I do also remember the Rome demo being sluggish compared to the final game, so I suppose that CK will be optimizing their code during those final few weeks or however long that takes.

Rest assured that once the modding community gets hold of the demo we will have more battle options; remember BI?
