    Age of Empires III Demo Out

    Ok, I know it's been posted in the Age of Empires 3 thread, but lets get realistic here, this news needs to be shouted from the highest tree, not shout deep in some cave that no one goes in; because no one expects a demo.

          I liked it, it's certainly a nice looking game.

          I think a lot of the features were taken out though as I can't do formations.

          I was really hoping to add roads and upgrade the walls.

          I also hope that world size can be increased a lot more.

          It's true the interface is too big, I hope there is a key to minimise it and/or simplify it.

                  I don't think I want to play this enough to download the demo. What's the projected release date?

                    Is it still micromanagement heavy like previous AoE where you have to manage all your peasants? If it is, I am not touching this game with a ten foot pole.
                    'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"

                      afraid so although automanaging is better. RTS games are going to have some speed as part of the skill needed.

                            Hmm, the automanaging is better, the villagers pick up things to do - which is a good thing because I have been unable to find an "idle villager" button. Also, queueing build commands is a welcome addition.

                            Not convinced yet though. The removal of stone as a fourth resource is probably a good thing, but demands on gold (coin) has been moved down the tech tree so the early game is more complicated I think. And the random treasure spots are just annoying. Like goody huts in civ, they're not really worth spending effort on (and the effort needed is more than in Civ), but cumulatively their effect can't be ignored.

                            Also I found a bug. It crashes to desktop just before I win.
                            Concrete, Abstract, or Squoingy?

                              I wonder if the random treasure will be in MP. Usually this does not go down well.
