None yet, but here's a gameplay trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBGX0dl5Ziw
It's slated for release through Steam "late 2013"

I think what sets this game apart from others of its kind is the way it treats villagers. They don't just build stuff and harvest resources, they're "resources" in and of themselves, somehow. They can raise families and get sick and all kinds of crazy realistic things, so they're much more vulnerable and therefore way more important to the success of your village than resources and expansion alone. I'm no expert, but in my time playing strategy games, I've never encountered one that works that way.

I'm probably wrong, I know there are tons of RTS's out there. But still, there could be no better game for me, I'm obsessed with stuff like this.

if it's anything like anno then sure, i'll try

I loved the Anno series with the burning passion of a thousand exploding suns. Especially Anno 1602, that game along with SimCity 3000 are the best city building games ever. Objectively.

I will probably buy this game even if it is panned, the RTS (turn based as well) genre is stagnating and there has to be more people out there that prefer gaming experiences with more depth than pew pew.

It's dwarf fortress without most of the gameplay, for visual learners.

My people keep dying of old age, and the nomad immigrants never come, despite me burying dozens of unfortunates in the walls of the town hall.

I mean it's fun enough until you get tired of the monotony and lack of enemies.
