Awesome news! Hopefully, it won't have internet-based DRM (which I am boycotting), so that I can purchase it.

It's too early to say about final DRM, but in any case it will be available on Steam with standard DRM.

Make a collectors edition in a oldschool cardboard box with cloth map, cheesy artbook, printed manual, but no plastic toys please, we're not eight year olds, (dude).

Yep. I don't care about a new engine. This one is fine. Just give me a whole new campaign and I will be happy again. This is pretty much my favourite game series ever.

Only thing I would really like to see from the basic formula, is make is so you can have as large of a force in your army as you want, but the number of troops you take into a fight is limited by your leadership. Will save a whole lot of micro management and running back and forth buying troops.

That is, if you have 1000 knights in your army, but only leadership for 20, then you take 20 with you into the fight.

[Mandea]

Yes, this is a very good idea. Running back and forth buying troops is a waste of time.

Don't worry, the campaign will be absolutely new

Do you know if the english version will be available at the same time as the Russian version or will there be a deep (long) lag.

Also is the new campaign long? To be honest I liked the campaign structure of the original (Legend) much better than the island hopping nature of crossroads. Mind you the story was not the best but (for me) it was the general direction I prefer (I understand why crossroads was easier to construct). Anyways do you know much about this new campaign and direction?

(Engine (for me) is fine. A few minor refinements wouldn't hurt but overall the graphics and mechanics are super duper).

Any chance of a RMG for short scenarios in addition to the campaign? I don't know if this would be possible or not...
