I played about 11 hours of the demo and bought it last night and played another hour. Really fun game! Unless you go into settings and fiddle with who your opponents are you can get some ahistorical campaigns like Russians against Austrians. It is not strictly set in the Seven Years War unless you tinker to ensure a historical campaign.
The units are really customizable so if you have Kronoskaf open you can reasonably accomplish making historical looking units(for the most part). The AI is more challenging in battle than in Total War Empire and cav will attempt to flank and artillery can be pretty accurate when it achieves "veterancy." Pretty good beer and pretzels wargame for those into 18th century warfare.
One downside is there is no multiplayer as it was a small development team and they just did not have the resources to give that attention.
