Reply to Demo in War of Magic Stardock Forums

AH good to know. I'm massively in love with Stardock games in general and this is a game concept I've been waiting for so will most likely buy it :) On another note: it's a very strong opinion of mine that AAA games should all release with a demo. With so many technical difficulties, a large price tag and sometimes bad releases against recognised brand names it's hard to know where to reliably put money. (thanks for the replies btw)

So is there likely to be a demo released for Elemental? With so many problems I want to make sure it works on my computer and see if I can get some friends hooked on it for some LAN play.

Additionally I think the turn based mechanic made a big difference - I liked GalCiv but I think the charm of the turn based game is similar to chess or the like. You have the time to sit back and consider, carefully plan strategies. It's less about a spreadsheet like MoO3 and more about timing.

MoO2 was one of the greatest 4X games of all time. I think the addictive qualities of "just one more turn" are astounding. My two cents :) I think MoO3's biggest problems were making it too complicated to perform the turn by turn tasks, but more importantly making an individual planet or ship meaningless. You feel no attachment to your creations; this was always the appeal, making a fleet that was so different and then seeing it in action, controlling all of the details. With
