I saw this game's review only yesterday... It seems to be really good, according the mag.

@Minerva..that's where I saw it too.

I went to their site and saw a demo download..(54.MB I believe) and I'm going to download it and see.

I heard it was a turn based strategy game set in the American Civil War, but I could be wrong.

Nope, its RTS set in the Napoleonic era - and you don't just get to play the cossacks.

Unfortunately it appears to have fallen foul of the RTS fun-killer that is "collect resources to pay for units to defeat your enemy by attrition".

You know, 3 units of corn and 1 coal builds a cavalry unit. Hmmm, very realistic.

Well I downloaded it last night...(two hours) and will try to play some today and see how it compares to AoE...

Do post about it, Weasel--I'm really curious.

English version. (I could only play as Spain...no other's avaible)

The first thing I did was check the saved game file.....and there's a auto save from the Programmmers left in the saves.If you start a new game it gets wrote over. So I would recommend loading the game and saving it to a different spot....the Auto saved game has everything built and will give you a good look at the game.

Massive armys...lots of death as well. I only played for 30 minutes though. I couldn't get in to the game right then..( Tired and Sleepy). So I will try this weekend to start a new game and see how it is from the beginning.
