Anyone getting it? It's a civ-like hex-based tbs with a 1UPT (One Unit Per Tile) combat system. The interface is snatched from Civ V (because it's a good UI) but, despite visual similarities, the game uses the engine from InoCo's "Fantasy Wars/Elven Legacy" series. Empire management is simpler (though still significant) compared to Civ games and the emphasis is placed on exploration, fighting and researching/casting spells. Units can level up and be further upgraded/enchanted, there's multiple victory conditions, rudimentary diplomacy, portals to other worlds, special map resources, customizable civ-like random map generator, etc. The game is set in Ardania (the Majesty universe) and it features the Sean Connery-like narrator/advisor, three factions (humans, monsters and undead), quests, Ardanian gods (Krypta, Agrela, Lunelord, etc.), customizable wizards/leaders and many of the art assets seen in the Majesty 2 game.

Steam has a demo as well (50 turn limit). The game will be released tomorrow (the 8th) so there's little time to pre-order. The only advantage to pre-ordering is you get their first dlc (it's already available) for free. There's no multiplayer atm but it's going to be patched in later on (during Summer time probably). Questions?
