Well since it appears to be headed to Desura and Steam it appears it wont 
be $60 anymore. Im not looking forward to the Steaming Hordes but others 
are.

The new nation is a lot of fun. Converting towns and other peoples troops, 
ending crusades against other nations, calling forth the requisition, 
opening the seven seals and raising the 4 horsemen to start an apocolypse.

Im not on modding but there is also a lot of that. But I do love the map 
commands and having downloadable campaigns with player created quests and 
events.
