Looks like today was a good day to call in sick...

I'm not immediately enthralled by it, but it looks like it could be good.

There are parts I really like and parts that are pretty bizarre. I do remember a few people around here were excited for it and I totally forgot about it until a few minutes ago.

I am intrigued by it from the first trailer I saw.
The launch trailer is pretty cool and I like the humour.

The production values seem to be of good quality too. Not sure how deep the campaign is, because from the trailer it seems like the strategic map is pretty small.

I'll wait for some reviews and most likely a sale. ;) But it does look like a game I would enjoy.
But with CK 2, EU IV, Dom 4 and Rome 2... I already have much more game than I have time for....

Would be curious to know how it is.  Looks like a strange marriage, some good ideas mixed with a couple of wtf<?> I'll be passing on everything except EU IV and maybe RTW 2.

Looks like a good game but need more info on it.  Time to do some research.  Btw is EUIV going to be real time?  Can they make a TBS Europa Universalis for once?

I dunno guys. The only thing that turns me off is the real-time aspect.

Lots of country building and policy making. It also manages to merge an FPS aspect into controlling your dragon. This is a kind of holy grail of gaming - FPS and RTS merged into one. I've seen a few other games do it, but not many.

The production value looks good, but not AAA level. That has me wondering how many corners got cut and what the bugs might be. If they just cut visuals to get solid gameplay this looks good to me.

I'm off to sniff around the dev's website for a look.

It's available over at Steam for 39.99 which is a bit steep. But if it turns out to be good...

I've just asked for a review code.

It's got a multiplayer campaign that can be played coop. I see a lot of potential here.

No way I'm gonna marry a un-dead skeleton princess and how is it she still has breasts? Could be a winner if you're into that type of game. Don't know a whole lot about the creators. What else have they done?

No... no...no...

Wizards are gay. This is proven.
