Daedalic announces Early Access will begin for Valhalla Hills on August 24th, offering first crack at this humorous civilization-building/strategy game. This will be offered for Windows only, though the promised Linux and OS X versions will still be part of the game's full release. Details and media can be found on the Valhalla Hills website. Here's a new gameplay video and a convenient description: "Valhalla Hills is inspired by traditional building games like The Settlers 2 but takes this proud heritage into the modern era, adding procedurally generated mountain landscapes and a rogue-like mechanic to intensify and expand the experience. A clever economic system provides depth and ample challenge for experienced players of strategy games and genre-newcomers alike."
