East India Interview #2 on Pirates Ahoy! reacquaints us with East India Company by discussing the real-time strategy game with lead designer Kim Soares. Last summer we learned the game was delayed until Q1 2009, so it is officially delayed again as of 10 days ago, but the Q&A discusses this, saying, "Due to latest developments, release date for EIC is Q3 2009. I assure you that the game will be that much better as to make up for the extra wait." The conversation also reveals the game's system requirements:
