Doubt it.
It seems CA have been working on this for quite some time.

*dances*. Yes! I can still play it before going off to college.

But I do hope the date isn't set on stone.

I am already concerned about the historical accuracy of this game.

11th century 18thcentury Highland clansmen, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, sounds suspect to me.

I was REALLy hoping for Scotland in this.
I sadly doubt that they'll portray it well.
They are going to do a Braveheart aren't they?

I hope for one of the stronger Welsh kingdoms too, but I doubt they'll do that.

If so, I hope that they won't do it for Vista, I don't really think Vista will be available in Europe or anywhere else by then ;)...
PS:Will the game be released everywhere at the same time or do they need extra time for translated versions?

I was a bit disappointed by Rome, but I'm definetly going to run out and get this on release day, because I'm, well you know, a chump.

Global Crusades
Win favour with the Pope and round up your armies for global crusades at his request. Players can even prompt the Pope to commission crusades as Catholicism wages a spiritual battle against the Muslim, Orthodox and Pagan religions.

I wonder what they mean by "Global Crusades"? What would be cool is when the pope calls for one everybody picks what troops (if any) they want to send and all they all auto move to converge en route to the objective. You could command just your contingent (with the foriegners being AI allies) or the General with the best rating could get command over the whole lot. That would be pretty nifty.

Probably not going to happen like that, but I do wonder how the crusades will be implemented.

Anyone heard any mention of civil wars yet?
