Another good looking strategy game looks bound for Linux, this time it's Grand Ages: Medieval from Kalypso Media and Gaming Minds Studios.

Recently Linux was added to the "oslist" on SteamDB, as well as a Linux client icon, so looks like Kalypso Media are being good to us.

The game will release on the 25th of September, so keep an eye out!

About the game (Official)
It is the year 1050 AD. At the beginning of the High Middle Ages development in Europe has seen an unprecedented level of progress and a rapidly growing population spreads across the length and breadth of the continent. New frontiers are explored, settlements founded and vast trading routes established. As the head of one of these small settlements, it falls upon you to lead your people towards greatness. Explore a vast world, gather resources, encounter other societies and use your trading expertise to expand and make your fortune. Found new cities, progress your nation with inventive technology and protect your trade routes against barbarian attacks until you are powerful enough to begin your conquest over Europe and forge a bold new empire.

Grand Ages: Medieval is a real-time strategy game from Gaming Minds. Lead your people and advance through the decades by utilising construction, research, expansion and conquest in an area extending from Scandinavia and North Africa; to Portugal, the Caucasus and the Middle East. Rise from the humble role of a simple mayor governing a small settlement and rule over all of Europe. Experience an exciting campaign with elaborately designed cut-scenes, play by your own rules in free play or test your skills in multiplayer against up to 8 players!

Check out Grand Ages: Medieval on Steam. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

The introduction looked a bit like Game Of Thrones Intro ^_^

I'm pleased that the official announcement uses the term "PC" correctly.

I imagine this isn't going to be a "commands per second" button masher RTS. It looks like it focuses more on the big picture of empire management and will be a slower paced game as a result.

Not a big surprise (welcome nonetheless) as Kalypso has gotten rather Linux friendly lately with Tropico 5, Crookz, and now this.

As an aside, the release two days ago of Nobunaga's Ambition: Sphere of Influence has, for the first time in a long time, given me Windows envy. I know, I know, I should be getting Windows envy over MGS V, but I'd scoop up Nobunaga's Ambition in a heartbeat were it on the penguin, especially since, for once, Koei Tecmo has actually brought the entire package (not just the base game) west, and onto PC. We're not starved for grand strategies on Linux, that's one area that's pretty well covered by the Linux friendliness of Paradox and now Kalypso, but those are generally set in Europe, which is fine, but I'd kill for a Japanese grand strategy. :S:

To me the game looks like Civilization with a touch of Knights of Honor, maybe with a little less complexity. Not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, I think the game looks quite interesting (I don't like the character portraits, tough). I'm just not very thrilled because I know it's going to be a Steam game. Without Steam I would probably pick it up.
