Paradox Interactive and AGEOD have today released a playable demo for their turn-based historical strategy game set in the colonial era of the 19th century, Pride of Nations, as well as details of free downloadble content for anyone that pre-orders the game prior to its PC release on June 7th.

The demo includes five tutorial levels for players to familiarise themselves with the game, along with 12 turns of the Grand Campaign.

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.
