A pretty decent article. It discusses a bit more in-depth some of the changes & new features in ETW. Just as importantly, it also covers more details of the AI development, and what they're doing differently this time around.

All I wanted to know:
- specs ("I can confirm that Empire: Total War is DX9 compatible and has been designed to run on a variety of machines.")
- moddability ("we do have plans to make this an extremely moddable game."

Nice. If they keep these promises (which I believe they will), then ETW will be just awesome. Period.

I'd love to see what kind of mods people will come out with once the game has been around a bit. I'm sure one of the first things to get modded in are new countries.

There doesn't seem to be much solid, new, information in this one, besides the modding stuff...

Yes, I'm hoping for something a bit more solid about specs or moddability, a little disappointing.

The battle AI sounds like it's going to be fantastic, if they can pull it off (and that's a big if). They do seem to have put a lot of emphasis on it this time and are going out of their way to talk about it at every opportunity.
