there's a link on the official site called 'Learn to Play' will this be a link to the Demo when it's released.

which reminds me unofficially it's around Mid-december still no sign of that demo.

 

p.s. i know that it's only a rumour but unless that comes out soon i'm going to have to play cards for 2 weeks til x-mas so roll on the demo.

There is still plenty of time for the demo to be released. Dont get your hopes down. Besides it about a month and a half until the total release! Rejoice!

Both your guys' Imperials' Santa hats look like Yamakas.

Hehe being an artist isnt in the job description. I did my best!

I want a Santa Yamaka! My old avatar had one, but then I changed it. Oops!

it's called a "yamaclaus"

 

any way, at the top of the site is says "downloads" that is most likely where it demo will be, the "learn to play" may be a link to buy a game guide.

Or the learn to play link could be a link to download the demo, which may include a learn to play scenario.

If you guys go to empireatwar.net, then click on demo, then click on download demo, it tells you what you can do on the demo and tells you you can download the demo for free, except that the link to do it isn't "Activavted".

Are demos usually downloaded from the official website for free? If they are, the cool, 'cuz I've always been under the impression that you have to buy them from a store of something... I aint much of a PC player...

This is because Lucasfiles will be hosting the demo, as you can see from EaW.net. But we are still waiting for the demo like everyone else, that page is just a place holder as of now.

 

Yes The Relentless demos are usually downloaded for free from the official website, or in the case a website willing to host the demo.

I'd say that demos are not downloaded from official websites. the demo aim is to hit as many people as possible so the demo is released on fansites, generalist gamers website, press etc etc.

Finally, I'm pretty sure most of people don't download the demo on the official website

I believe demos get released simultaneously on game websites [ex: fileplant, gamespot, ign, etc] and the offical site. Typically, however, the news gets to people through the game websites, so they download it there. I was able to download the AOE III demo from its offical site at 350kb/s, rather then waiting in a 500 person long line in fileplanet.
