Cheers for the warning

Things like "Big Shootyman 3" I don't expect a tutorial, it doesn't really need one.
But with RTS, I like to be shown what features there are and how to enable them without mashing the keys like a sealion.
The Rome:Total War demo was a good example. I didn't really enjoy the demo, but that was because I sucked not because I didn't know what to do.

Downloading now, hope there's a tutorial. I can't stand demos that don't give tutorial levels with these sorts of game

Seeing as I'll soon be getting the full version sent to me through the post, I have two things to do... though one of them isn't exactly doing anything. Damn.

1- Not download the demo as I want to have some sort of dramatic suspense.

2- Finally replace my 32Mb graphics card which I've been using since 1999.

The game won't look as good as the screenshots due to your graphics card.
The gameplay being the same as AoE2 is probably a good thing.

Check you have your latest audio and graphics drivers, defrag and if you have windows blinds uninstall it.

I just gave it 10 minutes there.

It doesn't look as nearly as good as the screenshots suggest. The gameplay is exactly the same as AoE2.
