Played the demo, it looks incredible but I have one major problem that might kill the game for me after reading the forums. There is no campaign world conquest mode? Everything Ive read its simply scenario based and limited to parts of the map? If thats true ugh!

GAME PLAY

1-can I play on world map?

Yes. There is intention of 2 world maps. One with the world split into 16 regions to fit the campaign storyline. On this map however you are playing as a “United Africa” or “Conquered North America” so it has little to do with the world as it is today. The second version of the map would have 16 player regions and 15 AI regions with all remaining areas of the world as “World Market”. Full details of this map have not been decided.

2-does the scenario has the goal?

Depends on the scenario. Also depends if you are playing a Scenario, a Campaign or a Mission map. Mission maps have very distinct goals. Scenarios usually do not have goals. Campaign maps may have “sub-goals” but the Campaign goal of becoming Supreme Ruler by any means necessary is the underlying goal at all times.

3-Can I play real country or I play only "Victoria", "N. California" etc states i saw on your screenshots?

Again, depends on the country and the map. Many countries can be played as a united country at some point in the game.

4-is it real time playing or move based game? If time, can I switch the speed?

The game will support both real time and turn based gameplay. In real time speed options exist for pause/slow/normal/fast. For high end systems the existing speeds can be doubled. In turn based mode, turn resolution is simultaneous

5-Can I edit my own scenarios? maps? names of countries, leaders etc?

The Map editor will be included in the release version but this will only be able to make Scenario maps. Campaign and Mission maps will be exclusive to the game.

6-Can I win if my country has no nature resources? Or only goal is getting my borders wider?

The Goal depends on the map but you will often find that a number of resources will need to be purchased from the World Market or other players. Alternatively, conservation or synthetics can be used to meet demands. Expanding borders is however an effective way of “gathering resources”

7- Am I occupying land step by step, city by city or how?

Although not shown by default, the map is hex based. Hexes can contain one element (city, base, industry) and some elements cannot be built directly adjacent to each other. Land is conquered hex by hex.

As far as I understand it, as you win each scenario, you progress to bigger and bigger maps, until you are placed in world conquest mode.
