Changes in the final version

[zonkie]

What changes can we expect when we get the game on the 14th compared to the demo? Would be great if we got a little sneak-peak on the changelog of the release patch.

+1

I suppose some critical balancing(religion,revolts,vassalls,wars) and more special events.

Saves. We can except saves. But not the Spanish Inquisition.

I'm playing the review version (1.01b) and I suspect it's mostly bug fixes: nothing major I've noticed (maybe a couple of new events...maybe). I don't know if it's really true, but the game seems to be loading and playing a bit faster than the last beta version (1.01) I played.

I'm playing

Yah, yah... rub it in

It was already confirmed that mercs and holy orders will be more expensive in the release version as their expenses were intentionally lowered in the demo so people could try them out more easilly.

As if they were not already too expensive already! I found also that was rather a neat thing is that other countries can use them too, hence you are sometimes unable to recruit as they are already being used in another conflict. That is just awesomeness...

They are not too expensive already 60 gold for 1500 well-trained troops? If you have another 60 gold saved, that pays them for a year or two. This lets you overrun any duchy or small kingdom.

I am mostly interested if the final version will be more challenging than the demo. Because it feels like you can do anything you want in the demo if you set your mind to it.

Maybe, but playing as Harold in England in 1066 there is no chance of affording their upkeep, or probably any small Duchie with limited monthly income. I think it was 10g a month, and when you are only pulling in say 80 gold a year, then it is expensive.

Regardless, the fact that other countries can use these mercs, which I found out last night, really was so cool.

Harold is supposed to be in a pretty bad situation, but it is still winnable. Mercenaries are extremely powerful if you get to plan ahead and save up money.
