Not dead?? That's great! That means I haven't lost the pool why would I say that there is no pool you never saw that.
That does look good; personally, I'd like a game with Vikings and Samurai fighting each other with lightsabers, but I'll take realistic combat without the taint of elves, sure.

Side note: crafting one's own weapons. I'm guessing that the weapons I craft are appropriate to the era; I won't be able to craft a katana or an AR-15.
While I'm floundering around with irrelevancies already, I hope there's a bubonic plague mechanic. That would've made an excellent selling point for the game:

dramatic music] "Lance Your Own Buboes!" [
disturbing images]
Enough out of me. Looks interesting!
