Games / East India Company

So a 60% sale just went up for this stuff, and its lasting until next Tuesday I believe.
Mmm baby this looks good.
I browsed through the pictures and such, and I have a general sense of the game.
Basically, you make an East India Company from the 17th century, and try to make it as large as possible.
As far as the actual gameplay goes, it seems like a mix between Age of Empires and a sort of close range Sim City.
The graphics look amazing, and I have a feeling that they tried to be somewhat accurate with the historical aspects of it (lets hope it holds true with the Spanish Armada >:D)
However the actual people look a little funky up close, like gorilla poses.
I was wondering if anyone else has played this game yet, and whether or not I should get it.
PICTURES.
Let me also add that I have an extreme soft spot for this time period; its like boobies for Ralphie in Role Models.
Oh and just to be giddy, I'll add Steam's game description and a link to the official website.
In East India Company, players will enjoy building the World's most powerful trading empire & engaging in vigorous battles in both single player & multiplayer modes, all within a breathtaking cinematic game environment.
Players will fight, manage, and rule nations from Europe to the Far East with eight nationalities to chose from: British, Dutch, French, Danish, Portuguese, Swedish, Spanish, and the Holy Roman Empire. Starting modestly, you will build your fleet, establish connections to far away countries, and keep the rivaling 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.
Conflicts and wars are inevitable. When hostile fleets engage each other, the spectacular naval battles are fought from a real-time tactical level. Devastating broadsides are fired with a deafening roar and cannon balls tear through enemy ships and their crew. 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 others in this groundbreaking strategy war game!
VAULT! GET TO IT!
