Yes, very. Appears you can scroll far out but I didn't see any scrolling in? Just a question. Overall it looks like one to follow.
Looks very Total War-ish which could be a good thing. If the economy and political options work, then it might be a real winner. I hope the battles can be zoomed-in on a little more. One I will definitely follow. Thanks FlickJax.
Looks like a Hegemony: Philip type of setup. Do you see the provincial borders in the battle mode still showing? Dunno about that facet but I won't complain too much because we don't see stuff covering this often.
Ooh nice. Thanks for the heads up on this.
Too bad we can't (apparently??) wishlist a game while still on Greenlight... :'( :-\

Yeah, they should add that option. Or add a second greenlight wishlist category.
Voted for it, though I honestly don't know that it's my thing. Love the period but could do without all the economic and city building stuff. Nonetheless the period is so little covered this deserves all the support it can get!
Looks awesome! I will keep a close eye on this one.
Looks clunky.
A little more info on this game from Tim Stone at RPS:

Kinda amazing this is the work of one individual. I tend to doubt it'll get Greenlighted (I don't think Histwar Napoleon made it when it was up for vote - ?), but it's got my vote. Very intrigued.
Looks great.
I voted for it and I wish them well, but I'll never buy it. I want a campaign to fight, not an economic sim.

Yes, i also hate building , trade and such things. Its also sad ist realtime, so i also wont purchase it.
I think the economics looks pretty interesting, actually -- seems a little reminiscent of Pdox's Victoria.
I never last very long in any Total War campaign because the shallowness of the 'strategic' level just never holds my interest. This game seems almost more a Pdox game than a TW game, which to my mind is all to the good.
Whether this one-man team can pull it off, though...
Which is a complete bummer! I really want to see more games covering this period. What I don't want is Civ 5 with a better military engine.
As it is about the only relatively recent game covering this period I know of is AGEOD's Rise of Prussia. Good as far as it goes, but certainly doesn't cover the tactical side of things well.
I'm tempted to vote for it, although as Jomni says it does look clunky. With a bit more polish, it might turn out very well?

Why not just vote for it? We need more games like this on steam anyway, and it doesn't cost anything to vote. If it gets greenlighted and released, you still don't have to buy it.
