No you can't have babies with the zombie chick (at least as a zombie), but you should try it (I won't ruin it for you) because what she says when you try is hilarious. I don't think beating medusa (L10 tournament) is possible on normal difficulty, even if you get really lucky on the items/mobs the shops have. Easy difficulty really doesn't count since on easy she is at half strength, you have 4X as much gold, and your rage builds like twice as fast. That means you are three or four times as powerful on easy difficulty (relative to the mobs).
But I managed to get to L5.5 with the warrior and paladin on normal diff, and 5.0 with the mage (no leadership items in shop, could not reach 1k leadership for the test of will). Besides all of the mobs and quests you can do, you can also get a lot of xp for doing the mage guild's Test of Will, the first (L3) and second (L6) Knight's guild tournaments, and you can do item upgrades. Yea the first baton upgrade (and there are 3 upgrades!) is way impossible in demo. Some games the baton does not show up though so you are lucky if you get it at all. I was able to win upgrade fights on the druid's staff, the Disciple's Staff, and the steel strip (belt). The belt upgrades nicely.
What items/mobs appear in the shops totally can change your game so even at the demo level there is a lot of replayability. I can only imagine how much greater that is in the full version. For instance normally I never take robbers since they are L1 mobs, are very expensive for L1 mobs, and give a negative moral modifier to human mobs. But if you get the chieftain's belt (+5 to robber attack) and also take the dezombified wife (+1 robber speed and initiative) they actually become super units. Since all units are somewhat equalized by leadership caps, having significant bonuses like that can really make some units very powerful. I especially like the robbers for ninja looting the chests on round 1 before the other side can grab them since their greed ability lets you tport to the chest and grab it. Downside is that at 50 coin per, they must be the most expensive L1 unit in the game.
I think about the only thing I haven't tried yet is killing the talking plant, which I assume is a super stupid thing to do normally since you can recruit like 3000 plants there if you complete that quest non-violently. Has anyone killed it to find out what happens?
