I'm pleased with the time period. It's a popular one for a reason. Interesting factions, interesting tech, interesting politics. However, the key, as always, for the old fan base is in the specifics. No info on the campaign map yet, which is not surprising. IIRC, the campaign map usually gets revealed much later than the game announcement. Let's hope that the admirable Shogun 2 CAI improvements continue and that BAI learns how to assault a city/fortification.
