Making History: The Great War now has a free demo and a new scenario

[MuzzyDev]

At last!  We just released a huge update that includes a free demo and a new scenario.  They both start in 1914, just before the Archduke takes his fateful ride through Sarajevo.  The demo has limited turns and you can only play Austria Hungary.  It was really fun playtesting this and seeing just how much damage I could do.  What can I say?  Some people just like to watch the world burn!   >:D

You can get the demo at our site http://making-history.com or on Steam.

Cool!  Now I just need to find time to actually try it out.  ::) 


(Also, just so you're aware, MuzzyDev, the link in your post doesn't work as is.  Looks like you need to drop the " or on Steam." bit from the url brackets.)

Maybe one of the Mods can fix it to save time?

Any tutorials to go with the demo?

Demo claimed it was going to overwrite a previous installation?  I have MH2 installed but I didn't think that should confuse it.  The key that pops up in the installer is my MH2 key.  Should I install anyway?  Should I delete the key for demo mode?

Hmm, must be the same folder in the registry.  Install with no key; it should not affect your copy of MHII.

OK, I figured out how I screwed up.  I originally saw the demo was out from a post by you on Wargamer.com.  The text didn't have a working link in it but I saw a link to a demo in the signature lines so I clicked on it.  Unfortunately that was for MH2 demo so it naturally wanted to overwrite my MH2 installation!  I have the correct demo and it installed fine.  After a quick glance, TGW appears to be a much different game than MHII.

Is there a tutorial for the demo?

Not yet.  Too easy to make it obsolete if we change something.  There is a manual (incomplete) that does explain all the basics.

Chris,

Do I understand correctly that MH:TGW has not been officially released yet, and is still in beta?

Yes.  Getting closer, though.  Still an update every two weeks or so.  Lots of work ongoing right now on diplomacy and the military AI.

Gee.  I remember right before the original release date (June? July?) when you posted that the game was about to come out and you better buy it now because when it does the price will be going up.

I can't believe I fell for that.

Well, would you rather that they release it in a buggy state? I'd rather that they delayed release until it was more polished and stable. How much did you drop on it? $19.99? Is that amount really going to break you?

it is a really great game.  O0
