I don't  have time right now to get too far in depth about this, but I finally got a chance to play Warrior Knights again last night.  During my first play of the game, I was very impressed by both the action selection mechanic and how the triggered phases were integrated into play.  But a pretty major rule was forgotten that otherwise dramatically reduced my enjoyment of the game. 

Right after that game (like literally an hour or two later), I downloaded the rules from Fantasy Flight and figured out the mistake we had made.  I also picked up a little more on some of the more detailed rules of the game, and was so impressed that I went out a few days later and bought the game. 

Finally, in what was my least profitable (in number of games played) game night ever, I had another chance to play just last night.  I even actually taught the game to two new players (with a little help).  We actually ran out of time and had to end a round or two early (with me leading, of course), but I still feel that I've had enough experience with the game to give it a pretty concrete initial rating, which I set at a 9 out of 10.

Warrior Knights just seems to capture so many things that lots of other games struggle with.  There is a really great action selection mechanic, a solid combat system, an effective political element, and a neat faith/random event system, all along with a great framework for negotiation and social interaction.  The game I would compare it to most is probably Twilight Imperium 3rd Edition both in scope and mechanics, but to me, Warrior Knights seems to do a much better job of integrating all of these cool elements in aproximately half the play time.    

I'm sure I'll write a full review at some point in the future (after a few more playes), but for now I just wanted to give a wholehearted recommendation to everybody out there for this fantastic board game.
