Yeah. I'd wager largely because of the multiplayer (and that the majority prefer Steamworks over GameSpy).

I really liked the demo, setting, GFX, music (oh man the music) , UI and sound design felt proper epic. The demo also got patched, so the game is a bit more stable.

If anyone still wants more from the demo, I present: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=428223

Allows freeplay!

I'll wait till the super deluxe all in one edition is out. Did so for Empire.

Excellent mod! I will so play that right now. This has totally made my decision to play this instead of do homework.

Edit: I just played the free campaign for a while, the difficulty is on normal and the AI is attacking from the sea (both the other clans and rebels) like nobody's business! I was not expecting that kind of reaction, since the demo campaign is so scripted. I am impressed by the campaign AI so far, we'll have to see if the battle AI is also good.

Yeah and considering they're taking a more RPG/RTS approach with online I think; it sounds like you create a force, battle online and create an avatar

I really enjoyed the demo, but that's just me. Had a wonderful laugh though, of all things, because of a bug. One of the soldiers got stuck on the bridge for a second or two, and then to catch up with the pack had to make a comical run for it with the average speed of 300km/h. I could only imagine what sake and swearing based propulsion he had installed.

There's a mod for that.

The fact that the modders have ripped open the demo in such a way is an encouraging sign. Let's hope Creative Assembly doesn't immediately attempt to snuff that out.

Oh wow. Maybe I'll have some time to play that too. Exciting!
