Replay value

[Saluzzo]

Is this game going to have some kind of skirmish mode or sandbox mode?

Yes, see this (http://forum.sunflowers.de/search.php?s=&action=showresults&searchid=4403&sortby=lastpost&sortorder=descending)
Skirmish mode as battle is possible in single and multiplayer.

I recomand especially: Skirmish Not Editor?? (http://forum.sunflowers.de/showthread.php?s=&threadid=864&highlight=skirmish) and all multiplayer threads.
