GamersGate is offering special in-game content with the pre-oder of Paradox Interactive’s Commander: Conquest of the Americas. The game is set to release July 40th but pre-odering will get you:

• 3 new ships
• 3 new resources, with new production chains and buildings
• 7 new historical Commanders, 1 for each nation, each with new special skills
• 3 Historical Naval Battle

Also, there’s a demo for the game that’s just been released so you can try before you buy.

Combining elements from both trading and strategy games, Commander: Conquest of the Americas appeals to a wide range of players.

The demo offers gamers a free chance to take charge of one of the many European powers and attempt to conquer the New World. Founding new colonies and then making them thrive is key to success. In order to accomplish this, players need to manage and optimize resources and production in their colonies, before transporting the goods to other colonies or back to Europe.
