Reever: And I guess you've heard of Dragon Commander by now, a great mix imo.
Licurg: Haven't played it yet, how good is it ?
Well, in my opinion, it is pretty good. The RPG elements aren't bad and you can shape your empire (or republic ;)) however you want. And most of the time, your choices have some consequences on the battlefield (less/more troops, less/more money etc.)
I heard that some strategy veterans aren't all that impressed, but I'm the opposite and I was pretty okay with the system. And the RTS part was cool too. Jetpacked Dragon FTW! :D
I'd recommend to watch a gameplay vid first, though. Better safe than sorry. Oh and I hope you have nothing against alliterations, since the characters' speech is full of that xD (guess it's a Larian Studios treat :D Will have to check how Original Sin and the old Divinity games are in that department :P)
