Maybe too much to sale it en-masse, but a game like civilization(the most uncomfortable word to spell ever) never needed it. If the game is complex(and realistic), and the unit descriptions are well done, I don't think it will make a difference, it would be a game for hardcore strategists anyway. I really like the idea, there is so much I wanted to do with Total war but couldn't. Me and a lot of other total war players are sure to welcome your take on wargaming as if it were the messias.
