14 DAY TRIAL // However, the upcoming demo will not be playable in multi-player, only the single-player will be available. It will include two scenarios from CPN. But what is CPN?
CPN files are campaign files. Place all .CPN files into your "Age of EmpiresCampaign" folder. To run them, launch AoE and go to Single Player -> Custom Campaign.
The demo will also include two Random Maps (RMs) for you to play, and two civilizations to help you in your quest of achieving victory.
Here is the official announcement on the forum:
"Demo's done (it went out the door to marketing today)... Finally
The high points: * SP only, no MP * 2 scenarios from the CPN * 2 RMs * 2 civs
Yes, to be quite sure, a ton of folks helped pull the demo together. Or, more appropriately, pull things out of the demo to pull it together. It actually ended up a very download-friendly size by the time we got done with it. Much smaller than I feared it would be Yes, there are limits to things like the max HC levels and whatnot. We can't quite give away *that* much gameplay in the demo. And, yes, for those pesky hackers out there, we did actually go nuke the high end content, so you can go hack out the level limits, but it won't get you anything...
The demo's actually a good time. I didn't go back and specifically compare, but it's quite a bit more gameplay than I recall the AOM demo having. Though there's no need to start a petition if that turns out not to be true
It's liberating to actually get it done so soon; one less worry post-ship. But, since we're also putting it in the CE (to give to a buddy), we had to actually finish it with the rest of the game anyway.
On some of the other questions... Someone did properly guess both civs. No, the civs that are in the demo are fully functional (minus HC visual upgrades (too much space) and most of the HC card content (too much game)). " Dave, Forum VIP
