Britain/France seems like a likely one. Play as either side of the hundred years war for X years. Another possibility is somewhere within the HRE - also a place where a lot of game features are used early on.

If it is locked to one nation I would bet a big boy as well. The demo is put in place to attract new customers (not reward the old) so making it a relatively "easy" nation to play will probably be the priority.

If it isn't locked to one nation, I hope it is 20-25 years, enough time to tech up once or twice and see how all the mechanics work. Reward the the old players! :)

Poland can not into demo!
Ulm can into demo!

I agree, and I'd love to play the Ottomans. But one thing, cascading alliances are gone :).

I imagine it would be similar to the way that the CK2 demo worked. There will probably be a couple countries to choose from (in ck2 I think it was four) and there will be a timeline of maybe 20 years. That's just my guess though

I strongly suspect you are right. The largest gaming market for these games would the be US, and they'd probably relate more to England in this time period than any other nation. 20 years of England or France would be pretty fun.

At least, that would be fun for veterans, but probably the worst way to attract newbies...

Castille is very better for that, because you may begin colonization, may win an easy war, may deal with a vassal and create alliances, may use missionaries...
And I bet for one country in HRE, to permit seeing the HRE mechanism.

I'm getting pretty anxious. I'm assuming there will be a demo... are we allowed to know when?
Sooner than later. Later than ever. Ever than now.

You're not going to be colonizing within twenty years of 1444 - You're far too busy with Aragon and acually getting the tech and ideas to even begin exploration.
