Would love for the demo to be Scotland since it gives a good oversight into all new mechanics.

Yeah if only to prove to me it's not actually broken as it was in Quill's game.

Agreed, plus the fact that they have to juggle so many things would be a good way to learn the game. They have to have a strong army to keep the English out, a relatively strong fleet to protect themselves from others, good trade to offset their poor tax... so ideal place to start learning. :)

My best guess would be the first Friday of August so the 2nd, because that coincides with a Dev Diary date, and makes a bit of sense. As it's about 2 weeks from release aswell, other alternative possibilities are August first, or July 29th.

Oh please - It'll be playing a minor nation with the inevitable result of being annexed by AI England as soon as their wars with Ireland and France end. If there's a decision and mission to unite the UK, the AI is sure to go for it with everything they've got.

I don't think that's exactly right. AFAIK it's just that the war leader can't change X months into the war, but it will still cascade within that time frame.

The improved AI actually thinks when they make alliances now. This should stop huge strings of random alliances.

Do you really think there will be a Demo? If I had to guess there won't be one until after release, and even then it's unlikely.

Do game developers still release demos?

Developers still release demos, yes. It seems like it's the norm for grand strategy games.

CK2 has a demo (but I don't know if it was released before the game) as well as Civilization and every Total War game including the most recent one (and I'm almost sure Shogun 2's demo was released before the full game).

Indeed it did, quite a while before, from Wikipedia:

A demo became available on Steam on 22 February 2011.[9] The demo covers the campaign tutorial, the historical Battle of Sekigahara and the full game encyclopedia.

Release date(s) 15 March 2011

Unless the mechanics of attrition and such have been tweaked to be worse for the defender, Scotland has a very good chance of survival. Just park your army with a good leader (which at least in EUIII your king usually was) in one of the highland provinces and watch the English army crumble. :)
