I sure hope so.  It's early days yet -- the game isn't due out until next year -- but I (mostly) like what I'm seeing so far.

Nice find, Martok! Of course, I still need to play Victoria 3.  ;D

That's the problem with having patience, it never gets here fast enough.

Yeah, this one definitely came out of nowhere (as ucg said).  I've been itching for a Victorian/Industrial-era grand-strategy game for a while now; fingers crossed this is the one I've been waiting for.  :dreamer: 




Of course, I still need to play Victoria 3.  ;D

Looking good.  I also had to laugh at how they called out Vicky 3.  ;D

The devs tease us with a quick look at the map editor: 







Not gonna lie, this has me drooling a little.  The potential -- especially for modding purposes -- is immense.
