Seconded.
But I will also add that the cult of the new is trending toward shorter and shorter games, that are lighter and lighter in their scope and game play. The three-to-four-hour Ameritrash glory days seem to be over. Everyone wants fast food gaming. Even Eclipse takes epic sci-fi gaming (ala TI3) and waters it down to cube-pushing resource management that's finished in under two hours.
Oh well. We die-hard fans all know - Runewars is a masterpiece, 3D mountains or not, and will keep playing it while the wood-fondlers ooooh and aaaaaah over gimmicks like moving gear worker placement and Deck: The Shuffling. At least Twilight Struggle remains in the top position.
