Considering buying. All my games are traditional historical (WWII, ACW, Nap, etc). Two questions:
1) does the game have a random map generator or do you play on the same map every game?
2) Is the game engine/system similar to any traditional historical games that I can compare it to?
Thanks!

1, no, it's the same map every game
2, no idea on that one, not sure of the game engine used so will eye of the side of caution and leave that for a developer to answer

The Sovereignty engine is custom build.

Really is a fantasy 4x, wargaming-lite product. Devs have really committed to it, but is not in my Top 20. However, it is far and away better than Matrix Victory and Glory: Napoleon, imo. Lots more to do and see.

The tactical battles seem to use a Panzer Corps type of engine to resolve. The strategic layer is definitely something new.

Thanks people! I'll watch the forum and hopefully a good utube or two will come out showing how game plays. Don't mean to stop the discussion. I bet others have the same question.
