Today, Paradox Interactive has released the first demo for East India Company. The demo, which sets players in the time span of 1650-1660, offers fans a great preview of the trading action and intense naval combat sure to satisfy their anticipation for the release of the strategy title. Players start with access to some ports & fleets, enabling them to immediately compete for the game?s main trading items. In addition, the demo also features two naval battle scenarios, allowing players to jump right in and try out the ocean warfare for themselves!

East India Company is now available for purchase via digital distribution channels, with the boxed release available from retailers on August 14th. For more information about East India Company, please visit the official website at http://www.eic-game.com.

Now, that is the official PR for the demo, I'm not sure if it' that worth it as I have the feeling that EIC is going to make some big changes/additions in the next couple of patches.  This from theofficial forum.

Kim:  Thank you all for the feedback we?ve received from you. I?m writing to let you all know that we?re preparing a new patch for you guys and thought to shed a little light into the upcoming features that we?re working on. Some of these are going to find their way to the next patch as well. We?ll obviously work on bug fixes too (like the MTI price bug that is already fixed as I write this).

A lot of people have requested for a way to speed up the time in the tactical naval battles. We?ve been playing around with different alternatives and it looks like we?ve found a solution that will enable the players to control the time without breaking the balancing of the battles (much like in the strategic view you can speed up the time and pause as well). We?re currently testing this to see how it will work in the long run.

We?re also making the price information more clear. For example we have things like trade item sort function coming to Game Info ?view that enables players to sort the trade items in the list by different attributes. We?re also working on showing info about the current trade route and the profit of the current cargo of the fleet in the Commander info view.

We also have a bunch of other minor improvements coming up.

Please let us know your thoughts about the features in progress. Feel free to post other feature improvement ideas as well. ​
