First off, keep in mind the game development remains in Alpha status. I've seen a lot of his You Tubes and he's run across many small bugs. This game is clearly is not anywhere close to release, but Beta may not be far behind. If you must have it it is available in the pre-release, unfinished condition, from the game website. I have no doubt all the issues will be resolved as there is a constant flow of patches and additions. Since this opening effort just deals with the American Revolution, and only has two campaign games, the developers ability to add DLC is almost unlimited. If they do they will need large trucks to carry the money to their bank.
Anyway, glad to see THG has recognized the game currently set for <easy> in naval actions was showing too easy and he'll be adjusting that. Even though his land battles are set for <medium> they don't look to be a serious challenge so far either, although the AI seems decent.
Take my money. I've seen enough to accept the fact I'll be getting this at some point, but will follow development until I'm sure the game is ready. I feel very comfortable with the player UI just having watched the vids, as well as seeing a lot of carryover from the game Ultimate General: Civil War/Gettysburg. Even though it is RTS if has 5 play speed levels. Something for everyone. I really like the RPG aspect and getting your forces ready for the next battle looks fun as well.
