    Nice find! Not much new, but it's always great to hear any Empire news. Favorite (mis?)quote from the article "What was the biggest play in the development of nuts?" Am I not reading this right or what?

    Sounds like something got lost in translation.

    Good find! It's always nie to see new screens. Naval battles really look interesting. I say interesting because until we actually play them, we won't know how fun and practical they are in comparison to Land battles.

    But like I said, they really grab the interest of a reader (at least mine)

    This is a nice screenshot showing what appears to be a small village next to a river, with boats in the background.

    Sir Beane- I'm willing to bet that "village" is the Jamestown settlement in Virginia, which would make that screenie from the "Road to Independence" campaign. Probably the very first 'city' any of us will see when we plug in the new game and hit "play"! I could be wrong, of course, but they've (relatively) recently found the original fort's foundations, and it is indeed a triangle shape, next to a river. We'll see within a month now, won't we?

    Yeah scetchy tanslation.

    "You need to send a priest to the neighboring country and convert its inhabitants to your faith"
    Does this mean there is a third character on the map? Missionaries, Rake, Gentlemen, and of coarse armies.

    "For example, if you respect the principles of Hinduism, you get access to special units"
    Nice. So that means that you can get some units for some thing you do and not just through building a barracks. That is awesome.

    It's always hard to get a translation if your not a native speaker. It's just natural that laungage mix ups occur.

    I did like it though, though kind of curious why all these turkish communities and czech are getting all these interviews and screens and I can't get a faction video?

    Common CA, show UK, Europe or America some love to

    this was mentioned in one of the other reviews and i asked the same question without any answers. Up until now we have been told there will be only 2 non combat campaign map units, however recent reviews have led me to believe there will be a religious unit AND a non combat naval trading unit possibly.
    "How come i cant make friends like that"
    "You need to get out more"
    "Im in another galaxy, how much more out can i get"

    I honestly hope not. Religion could really have been portrayed differently than roving priests converting countries in a matter of years. It takes much, much longer than a few years to convert a country from one religion to another, and generally more than one bloke doing it.
