My initial thought was that this looked like a new Stronghold competitor. Which would have been totally awesome, as someone recently re-interested in that franchise, thanks to the recent beta release of Stronghold 4. But unfortunately it seems like this game only has two of the three key aspects that makes SH what it is. There's castle building and combat, but no mention of any economy in either the article or the linked official video, let alone the sort of complex economy of the OG games.

I'll still be following this game with interest, but hopes are lower than the were at first.
