Vitek: Pre-ordering games from digital stores is something people should do more cautiously.
It makes marketing and hype much more important for sales than actual quality of game.
Arghmage: We are talking about Age of Wonders here. I did have my money ready the first time I heared that they are making a sequel. No need for marketing, I'll buy if I love the previous game.
Although I should already learn my painfull leason from Diablo.
Well... I'm a little concerned by the 6 playable races. No dark elves, no halflings, no frostlings, no azracs, no archon...
Those will probably come with DLCs or an expansion, but that would mean they're not in the main campaign, and I'm a campaign player (never was really interested in single scenarios or multiplayer for AOW)
I'm glad to see it here. Heck, I'm glad one of my favorite license has a shiny new sequel, and the videos I saw tell me it's probably good.
But I can wait till release day and a few reviews telling me the campaign mode is good before I buy it :)
