About
In this RPG, you are a hero in a time of chaotic upheaval. Explore the six worlds of Norse mythology, amass your forces and vanquish your enemies on the battlefield in the name of your chosen God. Will you choose to enforce change for those that crave it or will you seek to maintain the status quo - for better or worse? 

You, alone can determine the fate of the world.

You, alone are the master of your own saga.

Features
  • Vast vistas to explore: Wander the six worlds of Norse myth, from the lofty forests of Midgard to the fires of Muspelheim. Each time you start a new campaign, the world is procedurally generated to ensure each adventure is a venture into the exciting and unknown.
  • Rich tactical combat: Recruit and command an expansive range of units with unique abilities. Learn to use your troops – and the terrain of the battlefield – to crush your enemies.
  • Emergent storytelling: Who you are and the choices you make have a direct impact on the journeys you embark on. The game’s procedural quest system will take note of your deeds and challenge you accordingly. No two playthroughs will ever be the same.

Quoting: Quote from stanSo I guess they will be expensive and there will be no demo to check the games, just like CK and EU, then… Too bad :(.
You don't know if there will be a demo or not. Maybe there will be. But maybe not - so then wait for a sale... I bought EUIV when it was on for $9.99. That's not too much, if you ask me.

There are many games with no demos on many platforms. If you can't tell from videos if you'll like a game, and don't want to gamble, maybe Steam Family Sharing will be able to help you in the future. Make friends with someone who isn't afraid to take risks with their game purchases, and then borrow a copy from their library.

HOI IV!? My prayers have been answered. Cities in Motion I & II are already out, and Runemaster looks...pretty awesome.

I blew my entertainment budget for a whole month last spring to buy Crusader Kings 2, both because I wanted to play a Paradox GS game again, and to show Paradox that we are a valuable audience. I don't regret my purchase of it, or CIM, or EU IV.

Quoting: GuestIt is way too much. Maybe at 0.99 I would take my chances. But so many things can go wrong. Maybe the game doesn’t even start, maybe alt-tab doesn’t work, maybe the mouse moves way too slowly… etc. (All of that happened with games I got in Humble Indie Bundles.)

If you're only willing to pay $1 for games, then you should probably stick to playing cards.
Asking for a AAA game for $1 is moronic.

Well, maybe you should learn to read before you post stupid comments.

No, it is quite clear that you only want to risk $1, which is in fact pretty ridiculous considering how time consuming and expensive it is to make a game. You're not guaranteed to get a game working on any kind of windows either, or that the game will work properly even if the demo does.
Like with everything else you take a tiny chance considering system requirements, reviews and so on, and if all fails you can try to get a refund.
