    Do you have a link? I've got broadband, and am more than willing to let you know if it's worth it.

        No dice. I tried downloading it, and they wanted me to get some client.

        They claim it's spyware and adware free, but that just means they have some other sort of scuzware on there.

              I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

                  demo ticked me off, and I love Medieval / Shogun.

                  they make a game about romans, and then the first mission is in the middle of the damn woods? Does anyone remember Teutonburg and Varus? come on. . . .

                      I played the demo for about 10 minutes and then went back to playing Commandos.

                      It looks like the game could be alright, but you have to enjoy that sort of game and have a better demo. As said, controlling Roman Legions who are fighting in the woods is a bit odd.

                        I don't see what is so odd about Romans in woods- didn't anyone see the beginning of Gladiator? I'm sure a great many Roman campaign was fought in woodlands.

                        I liked the demo, and it has some very good gameplay and graphics. I'd even get the game if I didn't have the Rise of Nations beta.

                          I enjoyed the SP and MP demo (yep there are 2 demos)

                          And you think they're gonna include everything in a demo? just a simple mission to let you see how the game plays...

                          And btw the game isn't ultrarealistic (you can build gladiators and troops like that) ...

                          All I can say it's a very combat based RTS, there is no resourcemanagement etc, all ye gotta do is capture villages, build troops like mad and setup an attack...

                              I thought it was a fun game, can't say to much about the depth after just a demo.
