I am cautiously optimistic - the currently avaibale information implies a bit of a "back to the roots attitude" of CA which is likely to be a good thing.

I think it very much depends on to which extent they work on the strategic map as the move away from the risk-style map did not really help to improve the gaming experience (at least IMHO).

As I like the setting, I would tend to buy it - but I will definitely wait to see some reviews on this board to see if it is an improvement compared to the recent TW titles.
