I can imagine that the urge to now rubberneck the HOMMV beta might be pretty intense for some people. If you do end up getting it, I recommend that you convince a friend to jump in as well, and try the "Duel" gametype specifically. This mode can be played without a lot of hassle, probably because the UI for starting games has a good deal fewer variables. You'll see after a round or two that there's some really reat work being done on the game, fans of turn-based on the PC usually don't get this kind of splendor.
My fingers are crossed in order to hasten positive outcomes.
