I actually find the demo quite representing of the game experiance... I think - but I haven't tested the full version so it might as well be dooky.

As XXXX, torrent first, cash in later.

Safer have you played the GOLD demo? Or have you still been playing the 1st release?
The GOLD is a HUGE improvement over the first release! (available here)

Remember also you can't reduce the units scale in the demo (Huge,Large,Medium etc) of what is drawn in numbers on screen. So it's a bit of a hit especialy Agincourt and all that reflective armour!
Reduce shadows helps a lot -where i get a hit, but the rest is full on -so the full game -like R:TW -will allow you more optimisation as per usual.
I always reduce the unit numbers simply because it's a bloody pain having to pan out to find them all!

It's only Shader 2 it uses (shader 1 as well if you have an ANCIENT card LOL) so it's not as intensive in that dept.

Will tell you on Thursday, 'cause that's when i get it Smile
