Well, the demo is confirmed, 21, September.
The question (to me, at last) is... If my unlock day is 23, September (living in Brazil), I'll be able to play the demo 21, September?

[Snotty]

I really really really hope so

[Fistandantilus]

It will be really cruel if we can't even play the demo

[Aro]

Yep.

Civ V Demo will be available 9/21 at 10am EDT

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This has been asked in a bunch of threads, so here is the centralized answer: The demo will be available tomorrow (9/21) at 10am EDT, the same time as the full game unlocks.

It'll be available worldwide.

The demo will allow you to play 150 turns. You get a choice between 3 civilizations to play as, and you can't change the map settings (Small Continents) or game speed (Standard.) The tech tree is also limited to everything up to the medieval era.

This is from the 2K forum.

At last it "will be available worldwide"...

Better than nothing! :-)

[Snotty]

Thats a relief! I can sleep easy tonight then

[Aro]

No demo, so far...

Yeah, the anticipation is bugging me. BTW, the 2k forums and CFC have both imploded. You guys are the only ones alive at the moment.

Someone linked steam://install/65900 at the 2k forums

it works, copy paste it into your start/run/cmd or reload steam

That's the dubious advantage of being a has-been civ site.

Just started downloading.

[Louis XXIV]

ouch. This site still has a great reputation, even if it isn't as high volume. Hell, Jon Shafer always posted here, that's gotta count for something in advertising

EDIT: The demo is up!
