Is there any way to...

[MHSJROTCCADET]

disable the 100 turn limit on the demo? I ordered Space Empires Gold but I want something to do while I'm waiting for the game to get here! and it's frustrating when you have to quit after 100 turns. I understand if you all hate me for this and ban me butI really would like to know.

You could play PBW. By the time you finish your game against humans, Gold will have arrived.

[Atrocities]

No. The 100 turn limit is hardwired into the demo. You'll have to buy Gold to go past 100 turns. (Yes, it is really worth it too. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif )

That sort of thing simply does not happen here. This forum is free from the sort of nonsense that ruins other formums. Even if someone asks a stupid question (which yours is not), they won't get flamed or Banned or anything else like that.

Edit:
"MHSJROTCCADET"
Hmm... your name is kinda hard to figure out. What is it supposed to mean?

Break it up and it makes more sense..

MHS JROTC CADET

Now, I know what a JROTC is, and what a cadet is.. but where/what's MHS?

I tried breaking it up, and I had no clue what everything before cadet meant.

Heh. I tried that. But with the lack of long-Lasting energizer batteries (otherwise known as quantum reactor) or duracell (solar panels) it would get kinda boring.

"... 1 turn one move, 1 turn one move, 1 turn one move... 300 more turns to go till my resupply ship arrives..."

And unless you have some sort of C+ or even C++ (guessing since most apps are based on the language) app that you can use to change the programming you can't disable the 100 turns.

Even then its tricky.

"... delete, delete, delete, oops. What was that? Oh well. Delete, Delete..."

""... 1 turn one move, 1 turn one move, 1 turn one move... 300 more turns to go till my resupply ship arrives..."

There's this nifty little thing called supply storage, you know. Geez. Do ALL your ships run out of gas that quickly?

Umm, what exactly are you talking about? You tried what? How did supply come into this?

[Abaraxe]

Heh. I thought about posting a question like that, too, but I ended up just begging MM to make a patch for people that had bought the game that would extend the duration. I figured no one on this would know if I was lying or not about buying the game, but I could prove to them that they had my money already.
Sigh
lets just say they were polite but firm.
I thought february was supposed to be the SHORTEST month of the year.

I'm guessing MHS is the initials of a school.

"If one has already bought the game, what does one need the demo for?"

Other than the fact that it hasn't shipped..?

Well, take this time to perfect your early game. God knows, it counts more than anything in PBW.
