Really looking forward to it, even in EA. Said i would swear off EA games, but seeing the people playing the early release version it looks good enough for me. Also, been wanting a game that would scratch that Settlers itch for a long time and nothing else has come close. Most focus too much on the combat, where the town is the means to combat, rather than the occasion combat needed to defend your town.
did you listen to the link? he is "talking" about SC for 10 minutes.
