Probably deserves it's own thread here, at some point.  Sounds interesting if much of the gameplay is decided via card game mechanics (or the battles at least). 

The map art reminds me of some old tabletop fantasy strategy games.  That may not be a big plus regarding artwork, but definitely supports the boardgame style that it's supposed to resemble.

Looks interesting.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

The art style is almost enough to get me to say I'll definitely buy this.  I tend to be wary of card-based mechanics but this does look interesting.

The map artwork looks very cool.

Now this is going to be catty but...

They really heavily copy Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri for Pandora and this one looks very "inspired by" Dominions.

If they are good games, they are good games. But I would like to see some more innovation in the field.

I've had my eye on Sovereignty for a while now.  While one obviously can't really comment on gameplay or mechanics yet, I at least like the artwork we've seen so far.

Check out Flash Point Campaigns: Red Storm for the innovation in the field game.

That game is set to be released by end of summer if it stays on track. Which it is at the moment.
