The Pride of Nations Website now offers downloads of a playable demo for Pride of Nations, the upcoming 19th century turn-based historical grand strategy game. Word is: "The demo includes five tutorial levels for players to familiarise themselves with the game, along with 12 turns of the Grand Campaign." Publisher Paradox Interactive also announces free DLC as a preorder bonus for those who buy the game in advance of its release on June 7. Here's word on the DLC:

As a reward for anyone that pre-orders Pride of Nations on June 7th, the first DLC content will be given away completely free of charge. Set during the Spanish-American War of 1898, this brand new epic scenario covers the 10 months of the ’Splendid Little War’ fought between the USA and Spain. This is a fast paced scenario where the player playing as America bears the pressure of having to achieve total victory in the same time-frame as was achieved in reality, mastering naval operations as well as lightning fast land maneuvers. The Spanish-American War DLC will also be available to purchase post-release.
