Sounds promising. Based on 1700 to early 1800 and includes some detailed 3D naval combat.

Screenshots look pretty nice so far. I wonder what the system req's will be?

Sounds like they'll be finally revamping the annoying sea battle system.

Any idea on a release date?

Awesome!
There was a napoleonic mod for Rome: Total War, but never got around to using it

looks good, I was going to try out ME2 but I guess I'll wait untill this one comes out. A nice sea battle game would be nice.

"Can you hold on to lands in the New World, or establish a rich trading empire in the Indies?"

Hmmm, I wonder how they'll gracefully avoid slave-driven sugar plantations.

I think no history-based game like these should avoid historic reality. Slavery was very real back then and removing it from the game because it is not 'ok' with current ideology is wrong.

If anything, games like these are educational. I remember playing SHOGUN TOTAL WAR and got so immersed into it I read a lot into Japanese medieval history. I could probably pass a Japanese high school's history test.

Without that game... i'd still think samurai fought ninjas on rooftops and shot plasma balls out of their butts. (j/k).
