Yeah, the rights would have to come from E-Games, I visited their site this morning.  Actually i bought a new computer from HP and they had the trial for DOTC from egames.  Checking the reviews of the DOTC PC remake was universally bad... which is probably why I haven't heard anything about the remake.  But that's still the PC version.

You could slap on Orcs and Humans, and call it a boardgame but just doesn't ring as much as Warcraft.

Plus...  slap this on the box of the boardgame

Says it all....     =)

Marketshare wise:  I read in an article 40% of Cinemaware software was sold in Europe.  Much like DOTC Settlers version, i think this concept would have a niche market in Europe as well for the old timer european geeks.

No one else cares to comment?
