Hi,  I have been trying to find out a little more about the single player mode of this very promising game.  Obviously there are campaign and multiplayer modes, but can you play this as a single player "sandbox" type of game?

Being an "old fogey" I prefer single player skirmish games reminiscant of the original C&C and Supreme Commander, not their latest incarnations (C&C4 or Supreme Com2) which seem to be made for quick fix short attention span generation.  The fact that your sovereign can have children who in turn can marry etc makes it seem as this game has an almost infinite timeline, but your description has me a little confused as it states the single player has 30 hours of gameplay.

Thanks Andy.

P.S. I am allways amazed at the skill and dedication of these communities, keep up the great work!
