Civ 5 Demo Features?

[juanbobo]

Does anyone have any details on the Civ 5 demo? I guess I'll be playing it some time before buying the actual game.

3 Civs (not revealed yet)
150 turns
Techs up to Medieval era
Small map
Standard pace

 

[juanbobo]

That's pretty reasonable I guess, but I'd rather have full functionality for a very limited time

Those kinds of time-limits are super easy to crack, so I don't think they want to hand their game over to pirate release groups on a silver platter.

 

[juanbobo]

Yeah that's what I was thinking, anyway I'm sure I'll be buying it as soon as possible. I really hope the changes made to the game are for the better, at least if the game is different enough from IV it won't necessarily render it boring.

Like it'll be more than a week before a cracked version shows up on The Pirate Bay anyway...

You mean more like by the end of the day.

Any word on when the demo is released on Steam? Still no word on the european Steam site.

I remember the first game Firaxis brought out Sid Meier Alpha Centauri (must reinstall that game), well you had a 100 turn but anybody could tweak the demo to get access to all the techs before that.

150 turns? Seriously? Cool! I thought it would only be a 100 turns...

 

[lietkynes]

150 turns is VERY nice

3 playable civs or just 3 civs ?

 

[Thoughtful Thug]

I know for sure that the other 2k game Mafia 2 demo, someone has tweaked the demo so that players can free roam. I think it was 2 days later till it was hacked altogether so you can play all of the chapters.

 

[DrJambo]

Small map... pfff. That's not going to help me determine whether my PC can handle the standard sized maps on Civ V. Unless of course my PC can't handle the small map lol.

 

[Necro-]

i figure the small size is due to the limited turn limit, a bigger map would have much less combat and action in the same amount of turns

 

[Delgar]

How many more hours till the demo is released? I can't wait!

 

[Lillefix]

That is very good. But it's three hours left!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(if it's four o'clock Western European time)
