Game Summary
In East India Company, players will enjoy building the World’s most powerful trading empire and engaging in vigorous naval battles in both single player and multiplayer modes.
Starting modestly, you will build your fleet, establish connections to far away countries, and keep rival nations at bay. Choose from a wide array of ship classes, including a variety of transport and military vessels. Create diverse fleets and assign each of them specific trading routes. Control and upgrade well-situated ports as you form your strategy for domination.
For greater tactical depth, command your ship and give independent orders to each of your fleets. Fight against the other European powers to create a trading empire that will rule above all!

At E3 in Los Angeles development teams for Hearts of Iron III, East India Company and Majesty 2: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim will showcase brand new features for their eagerly anticipated titles.

The music in this game is awesome, the graphics are better than alright.
From the datasheet, it could use some more different ships, if you were to make a periods mod like ours. It is such a shame, any landbased locations cannot be accessed! Would be nice to know, if this is only limited due to gameplay or due to the game-engine...

That is already far too many questions, not to know the answer to. I have got to buy this game and dissect it to pieces, once released! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
In <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/eastindiacompany/video/6210373/east-india-company-developer-movie-2?tag=videos;title;1" target="_blank">this</a> video, Kim Soares is actually giving us (PiratesAhoy) his regards.

You´re famous, Keith! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

EDIT: And good job in the EIC forums and the frontpage, btw <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
 
Geeze, I missed that completely when I posted that video on the front page! Nice catch Peter! I even watched the whole thing twice before I posted it! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
Cool, I'll have to watch it now, i've been out of the loop recently.

Also, it's nice to see it's modable now, I really thought it was a mistake to leave it like Pirates!
