It's on the front of FilePlanet, too. Also, I noticed FP is doing an exclusive of the Dark Horizons: Lore demo. Where's Inq? ;)

Much MUCH better than M:TW,S:TW.
my specs are:
1.6A ghz
512 ram
radeon 9500pro

im runnig this game on maximum, with decent framrate.
the demo offer a battle btween the roman empire and hanibal, romans are more than 1200 and hanibal forces are 800.

the game dont look as good as in the screenies, though good enough... lets say the models are better than Ground control though the ground look like ****. what really botherd me is the trees in this game Are huge , Totally unrealstic.

the sound is excellent, when u move ur genral u hear him scream to give morale to the units in the field, when a group will retreat u will hear thousnds of units say :"retreat! , retreat!, fear is sexy"

the gameplay is excellent, though it requier quicker mind because there seems to be much more units in each battle.
you will see its quite easy to control your army.
though the demo only offer like 10% of the units the game can hold... i will want to see a battle with 10k versus 10k.

Okay. Now I'm certain I don't want to play this.

Of course if you've put the closing " in the wrong place I could change my mind :p

I'm downloading it right now, but it's taking forever since it seems everyone else had the same idea :p

So Fear, the game customizes itself for you? The little Roman troopers saying: "Fear is sexy!" "Karajorma is sexy!" "General Pontius is sexy... ahh sorry General Karajorma..." "RETREAT!"

Getting it via Bittorrent...the only way where "the more, the merrier" applies to clients. :D

Plus you can feel good about giving back to the internet. ;)
