I dont know if this is news but it's the first I've heard of it:

"Instead of the `real-time` Gettysburg!-like system that had been shown before, the new battles play out in a `turn-based` format."

Go read.. go now!

Yea, that's kinda dissapointing, the Gettysburg real time system was fantastic and I thought would have worked great in Pirates (actually, a simplied version of that engine was already part of the original Pirates, and contained many of the same features). It sounds like they're going to something like the Civ3 turn based engine, which is ok, but I think in this type of hybrid action/strat/role playing game a real time land battle ala Gettysburg would have been a lot of fun.
