Getting some more info on the game. Combat wise, it seems it's going to be similar to GC2 but improved slightly with perhaps a little more control. The game maker himself has stated that random events will be in game AND you can set them before a game (so either on/off or no events, some events or lots of events). AND events can be modded, meaning players can ADD events. Which already confirms the game itself will be mod friendly. Oh, and the game will have multiplayer. And I think the game will have hex tiles as opposed to squares (meaning more directions to move in?).
And I found a thread for the game.
