Jim Cobb has written a preview of Pride of Nations. It was published on the Armchair General website yesterday: Link

If I wasn’t so busy playing Field of Glory and WitP:AE I’d probably give the PoN demo a try.

Don't know if this is good or bad for players.  For me, I guess I just need to try it out.

If you disable "Limit Map Loading" in the options, that should solve the lag problem.

I was playing around with the settings and figured this out It really does speed up the game I meant to post that here but got sidetracked.

A very apt description for steam selection.

Please no more steam debate needed.

This nonwithstanding I consider Pride of Nation to be one of the very few sophisticated historical strategy games on a GLOBAL scale. So far I put some hours in - and barely scratched the surface.

I'd wish Matrix also could sell it just to make PON more popular.

I like it better than Victoria so far.
