New East India Company Video
I blogged about the upcoming East India Company game from Paradox Interactive a few months ago when I discovered their beta test. I’ve also been following the designer’s blog (well worth the visit if you’re at all interested in this game) and they’ve recently released a video of the new game too.
I admit that I’m fascinated by this era in history… after living in Asia, it’s hard not to be fascinated by the multi-side power struggle over resources, trade routes, colonization and sovereignty, the effects of which are still a major force in the development and the political borders of Asia. This lends itself well to a strategy game (although there are so many factors, can a game include them all?) and seeing the graphics in the style of old-fashioned paintings just makes me more excited to see this game.
