Default Strange demo bugs? Utgard = Smouldercone?

Heya, is there any way to upgrade the demo beyond 2.08? Cause when I choose the Jutun theme "Utgard", it gives me the Smouldercone in my main province. >,> Talk about useless for cold 2... Is there a fix to this? I'm running win98. Thanks!

You must run a v2.11 or higher demo, and start a new game.

EDIT: The Utgard theme was broken in patch 2.08; it's a known bug.

Is there one? I wasn't aware they kept the demo up to date anymore.

I'm not sure what the current Version of the demo on IW's download page is.

That's 2.08, what I'm now running.

I remember some time ago, I didnt have this bug. Then it cropped up. I deleted the game and the folder, and reinstalled, but its still here.

Wierd.

The demo was updated from 2.06 to 2.08 (thus breaking it) when patch 2.08 was released. I *assumed* that IW would likewise update their demo to 2.11 (and then 2.12). If not, people need to scream at IW ...

Well, where can I find mods that will work on the demo that are some "suggested" mods? Especially for a newbie like me? Things to help with the interface or things that are just useful...

There are no mods that tweak the UI. IW has not exposed the UI to modding. I doubt they could even if they wanted to (and IW's programmer hates UI coding).

You can try these locations for mods:

IW's mods page

my downloads page

*sighs* so no one knows where i could find a better Version of the demo?

I've been reading your AAR, Ms. Arryn, and I fancy tracing your steps with my own Utgard map, in order to figure out the hows and whys you do the things you did, to better understand this game...

Unfortunately, I cant do that with a broken demo...

Oy vey...
