A beta demo for Empires of Steel is now available, offering a sample of upcoming global domination strategy game, which you can check out between now and when the demo expires on October 31. Word is: "It will allow you to explore and test many of the unique features EoS has to offer first hand. While there are some limitations in place, the beta demo does allow for largely unrestricted multiplayer games (up to 8 players) on a special DemoMap, and does allow peeks at some of the advanced game features such as the full featured map and unit set editor, the in-game mod and scenario sharing system, the built-in game updater and much more." The demo is available for download from Battlefront.com, FanGaming, and Gamer's Hell.
