Got it. Soooooo much better than the first one. The goblins have a character just for me too, Drogoth The Dragon Lord :evil: . I'm interested in the hero creator, should be good.

 

The 2 player maps that come with the demo are of pretty good size which is good. Both goblins and dwarves have mining shafts that you build to get resources. This mines have a % and radius to them. As long as you place them down in a spot with no obstructions in the radius, you'll get 100% efficiency out of them. Like in Empire Earth 2's houses, the mines are connected to your population, so the more you have the more pop you can have. So, you can see how the map can fill up quick. I'll grab a pic or 2 and post them to see what it looks like.

 

It runs pretty well on my 9800pro, everything on high but no aa or af. Even from the min specs for the game, its fair game on just about everyone's machine. B)

Here's the radius thing. You can see the % go up as I moved the tunnel further out.

This just in EA is retarded. Oh wait, that's not news. 6 cds for the normal release and dvd for the collector's edition. Couple extra mp maps, an extra character and some other unrelated game stuff. In the end, probably not worth it. Just in case anyone wanted to know. B)

The Demo rocks, too bad they don't have the multiplayer option enabled for network play for the 2 maps U get access to. I can just imagine the wild screenshots Dragon & I would have of the 2 of us battling it out against each other.
