It seems to basically be a cross between Civ and a Grand Strategy game. Many of the developers appear to have worked on Civ 5 previously.
It seems incredibly ambitious. The scale is stunning. The footage available so far on their Dev Diaries looks incredible, but I don’t know how well that will translate into actually fun gameplay…
I’ll be watching this game’s development with great interest.
The world looks really impressive. The prestige approach sounds like a much better system that the Civ victory conditions. And simultaneous play is a welcome improvement.
It would be nice if they could innovate on the competitive aspect: either improved AI or multi-player.
