I think this beta would make a great demo, yeah it doesn't have a turn limit but it limits a lot of features of the game after all it only allows you to play 3 players. If Stardock was to create a new demo for TA I vote to make beta 1 the demo. Does anyone else agree?
This type of game would be very simular to the Origional C&C (command and conquer) demo way back about 10yrs ago when that type of strategy game was just starting to become popular which gave you 3 levels to play and really made me want the full game to get into it.
