Ehh... Steam
I should have known that the demo will also be Steam only

Hmm ... so this extra 1 GB that steam is downloading after I already preloaded ... is that the demo, or is that some 20% update to the real game?

I see two play buttons, one is Civ V, one is Civ V (direct X 9) ... is one the real game, and one the demo?

Just waiting on the demo download. I'd go pick up the megabytes myself if it meant I could play a bit quicker...

I've tried both and both tell me my installation is incomplete.

Yeah, that is what I am getting, but the 995 MB download (after my pre-load) is not done yet. Be nice to have less cryptic signage on Steam ...

Finally, I felt the last 2 months like 200 years.

The demo size is huge. (3.9gb). I don't like steam but have no choice, so thanks to all who helped to produce the best game in the world civV.

Regards.

Even though it claims you have 150 turns, I just finished playing through the demo with Egypt, and it cut me off at 100 turns. Not bad though.

No!!! Demo is limited to 100 turns not 150. I just found this playing it.

I just completed a domination (take one capital) on a tiny map at settler in just under 100 turns, so you should be able to win the demo at those settings before it quits on you.

Can't change the settings in the demo so we're stuck with 6 player continents.

Will the Civ V demo have lan enabled??

We college gamers DEMAND our free-demos to have LAN accessibility!

or at least some form of multiplayer on the demo ... brings "100 turns rush" a new meaning
