Demo vs game

Hannibal: Rome and Carthage in the Second Punic War is a new and innovative turn-based strategy game that puts you in command of the Carthaginian military during a period of total war over land and sea with the young Roman Republic. With this military juggernaut of the ancient world at your disposal, you will vie for control over Italy, Carthage, Spain and the Mediterranean Sea using a combination of strategic political maneuvering and sheer tactical skill both on land and sea. Play consists of two layers; the first is a strategic layer where you must prudently steer your forces to the destruction of Rome’s army and the ultimate destruction of the Republic and city itself. At your disposal are a variety of unit types and historical commanders from which to form your armies. On the tactical scale, when meeting the enemy in battle, skilled leadership and a knack for war come into play as you use a simple but engaging battle system to best your opponents.

Hi, I recently downloaded the demo and played the tutorials of this unique game, but can´t figure out which else is unlocked in the full game apart from the save game feature and the difficulty levels.
Thanks in advance.

Well, of course, the demo's turn restrictions are also unlocked and you can play the game to the 20-turn limit.

But you probably knew that. [:D]

There are additional rules that come into play with the higher levels of difficulty so you are also getting those features. These are the ability to decline combat in the field (at the normal level of difficulty) and the by-play with the Carthaginian Senate (at the hard level of difficulty). The ability to decline Pitched Battles changes the behavior of the AI and that adds some depth.

The victory and defeat screens are unlocked since you cannot actually win or lose the demo. Those screens are admittedly chrome in and of themselves.
