Cool!!!! I loved the first two, and the history class i'm taking right now really makes me want to play. Sad thing is I can't because my windows died. Does this work on macs?
What period of history does this tackle? Up to today, or what?

The other AOEs were awesome.

I think it should be stated somewhere here that it is a 365MB (!) download.

I'm a AOE nerd, and have been playing the demo pretty much nonstop since it came out (minus classes of course). It is sweet! My favorite part is cannons vs people and building demolitions (i've gotten so bad i won't resign if i'm losing- i'll watch the enemy blow up my base and cheer)

anywho, back to the demo...

BTW, on a side note, the modding community at aoe3.heavengames.com is already releasing mods (soon to add maps) for the demo. Fun fun! I can't wait for the full game!

My cousin has the demo. I love it! One question...what is the max level you can go up to for your home city?

do you think there is a mod to reduce the size of the interface?

The max level is 9 with the demo, and 49 with the mod (dont forget to also add the cards above level 10 mod also)

Not currently. Interface size will probably be in the demo verson 1.1 - but that's not coming out until after the game is released (which will be on October 25).
