Port Royale - a "real" sequel to Pirates?

Go to http://www.ascaron.com/englisch/index.html then click on the Port Royale link. Don't know when it's coming out, there's supposed to be a patch for the US version so maybe it already IS out. No demo at this stage but looks good eh?

German site and developers.
Looks and sounds pretty good

I haven't heard anything about it being released, but I have seen dutch, german, and french versions of it on file sharing programs.

There is a demo out, in the UK at least: on the latest issue of PC Gamer magazine.
I installed the demo today, but haven't played it yet.

This demo must be on the P2P network by now.

Any knowledge of demo outside Kazaa and other P2P's?
I don't want to install spyware into my PC.

Thanks for the tip! I didn't find an English version of Port Royale but I did find find something called Proxomitron which stops the popups and more - and it's free! - and it's rather clever in the way it does it too, using your machine as a proxy server! I don't see ANY ads anymore!
