Beta Opp: East India Company
Paradox Interactive and Nitro Games Ltd. are looking for beta testers to play their upcoming strategy game, East India Company, which is due to release in Q3 of 2009.
Now is your chance to control one of the most powerful companies in history. In East India Company, the player assumes the role of Governor General, the leader of one of the East India Companies. The goal of the game is to bring wealth and new colonies to your company and make it the dominant force within a given time limit.
The player must organize profitable trade routes to the East Indies and back, as well as use political skills to minimize conflict. However, being that there are seven other companies with the same intentions, armed conflicts and outright wars are unavoidable.
This is a really interesting historical period, and there’s an opportunity for the type of alliances and negotiations I loved in Civ3. Sign up here to be a beta tester for East India Company, or go here to see more about the game!
Paradox is working on the upcoming Majesty 2, the sequel to the game by the awesome (former) game developer, Cyberlore (disclosure: My boyfriend worked on Cyberlore’s Playboy game), but I don’t know much about Nitro Games, do you?
