I got the demo in my Computer Games magazine Sunday. It was enjoyable, but the graphics weren't stellar and the scenario in the demo is amazingly long. So long that I haven't finished yet.

I still haven't been able to try it.

From what I hear though, once you start to get a feel for the tactics and how the AI plays, you can clean up. Some of the guys on the Warlords forum who have played around with it can finish in the low 20 days and that's on the highest level of difficulty
