Added Wargamer preview:

"Both accessible and detailed, the combat portion of East India Company is comprehensive enough for interested grogs to get excited about and accessible enough for landlubbers to enjoy. For a preview build this version was very polished and whet our appetites to see a sampling of the strategic layer too. If the developers can keep the quality of the campaign as high as what we’ve seen in this demo, naval aficionados and colonial history lovers may have an Empire: Total War killer in their midst"

Looks Damn Good! (If Im not wrong, It looks like Empire, but I hope it wont be as buggy as that on Release :p)

A question! Fredrik, do you own Empire: Total War? :D

Actually I do not. I haven't really gotten into the TW series although they look tempting. At the moment I only play the latest beta from Majesty 2.

Tomorrow we're meeting with Nitro in Helsinki, so hopefully I can give you more comments based on hands-on experience.

I think this game should be compared more to Anno series / Port Royale / Colonization than to the TW series.
