Yup, it's a D&D RTS just announced... by Liquid Entertainment, makers of the pretty good RTS Battle Realms. But, it's not that simple...
New D&D world. Yup, after canning all of the D&D worlds except the Forgotten Realms and Dragonlance (I don't even know them all... the only ones I can think of are Mysteria, Planescape, Al-Quadim, Dark Sun, Ravenloft... bah, I know there are more... anyway, they were all ditched by the time 3rd edition came out...). It's called Eberon... read the article. Very interesting.

Oh, and look at the art! Really, really nice... though we don't see any ingame graphics. I'm sure it'll be 3d but IMO it'd look best with a high-res 2d look like Disciples.
