On the other hand, it's arguably focusing exactly on some things that ETW is "kinda crappy" at: Intercontinental trade, economic competiton and of course: Naval warfare.

ETW has a stab at factoring them into the overall game experience, and one has to recognise that there's a lot it tries to include -which would give anyone a headache trying to reconcile with the realities of getting a product to market.

EIC clearly has a much reduced scope to ETW so their team will be better able to concentrate on making it complete.

I for one will be very interested to see how EIC models piracy, trade and naval combat in game terms.
