Impressions of the demo?

I, too, have been impressed by how well it runs. Though the shine off some of the units is too much. Also, the 3d portraits of units/agents on the campaign map seem really low resolution and have no AA. The diplomacy screen 3d characters are also weirdly poor graphics.

In the first historical battle, the 1600 betrayal one, the battle seemed to move very fast. No time for deliberation or much strategy a la MTW.

The tutorial is a bit of a joke - it's so scripted and tightly controlled that you can't get a feel for the campaign. And only being able to fight 3 battles? What good reason could they have for that?

Couldn't really get a feel for the AI.

It being a demo and a beginner's tutorial of all things? Sounds like a pretty good reason to me.

A good reason for the tight scripting and guiding for the tutorial, yes. For the demo I don't see the point of limiting battles.
