Multiplayer demo games

[CyborgMoses]

I recently bought a copy of Dominions 2 and am currently trying to show the game to my friends. I was wondering if it were possible to run a multiplayer game with the demo, and if so, whether I would need to run the demo to participate, or whether the full-version game would be valid. Any help on this would be appreciated.

You can initiate and participate in MP games with just the demo, as I recall. However, demo players have turn and nation-choice limits.

I dont know if anyone has tested it lately against the latest patches. If it doesnt work, let us know.

You can only show it to 6 friends. The demo is limited to Pythium, Ulm, Ctis, Arcosphale, Jotunheim, and Machaka. If you play one of the other races than any on that list, such as Man, that would be a 7 player game. You can play up to the 40 turn limit which is usually enough to convince them that they wished it would go farther. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

-- WARNING: this game is NOT suitable for students, interns, apprentices,
or anyone else who is expected to pass tests on a regular basis. Do not
think about Dominions strategys while operating heavy machinery. The
demo has built-in protections which should not be bypassed. They are for
your health as much as for monetary reasons. Do not begin on the full
version without first making arrangments for someone to check on you
daily. If you find that your game has continued for more than 36 hours
straight then you should consult a physician immeadiately (Do NOT show
him the game!)

Heh, fair enough. Thanks for the quick answers, folks.
