Competition?

It seems that at last the PC games market has taken up to get into CAs field, which is a quite beneficial thing for us as customers since competition can only bring evolution and advances....

A bit more information beyond - admittedly very good-looking - pictures would be helpful to judge whether this game might be a comptetition to MTW in any way.

What's the name of the game?

It appears to be called XIII Century, so I assume that it's about the 13th century. Interesting

Its XIII Century game from 1C a russian publisher:

Its in Russian and the game will feature tactical battles like in the TW series with a turn based strategic map...
Its nice to see the genre that the CA created to be filled up and flurish...

It looks very promising, I hope it'll be released in English too. However there seems to be very few factions in their first version. I hope they'll add more. I also wonder how many troops they support to have in the same battle.

Too bad I barely know the Cyrillic alphabet and hardly any Russian at all

However words like Музыкальная тема and Галерея aren't that difficult to guess what they mean

Just guessing from my limited knowledge of the Russian language, does that say Musical Team and Gallery?

XIII Century: Sword and Honor or XIII Century: Death or Glory. Depends which site you go to.

Here's the preview from IGN.

Here's a preview from neoseeker.

It looks exactly like a TW concept rip-off, but not as good. Remember the giant dookie that was "Imperial Glory"? I'm not at all impressed, though I too am pleased that competition has made its way into the genre. I think CA will remain the undisputed champ, but competition will ensure they don't get fat and lazy.
