yes I pre-ordered, I love the turn based strategy games most of all, They seem to have fallen on the wayside the last half decade or so, I have played all the Civ's, played MOO 1, 2 & 3 (3 was not soo good). I really enjoyed Gal Civ2 and its expansions so I really hope this one delivers for the game play I prefer. I really don't care much for multi-player games as I don't often have that much time, I like to play a few turns and then save and come back later. Hopefully I can help out on the alpha.

I pre-ordered 2 copies back in February..

I think I speak for everyone here...

Where the F are my Beta keys!?

You'll get it when they start the beta ...

Preordered right away, the waiting is possibly going to kill me

Now now, don't go around making people mysteriously disappear after getting their SD account information through sinister means of torture.

... That's my job.

I ordered over a week ago, but just found this thread. Can't wait till the beta comes out (doubt I will get into the alpha but you never know).

I'm later to the party. Yarlen made me pre-order today though.

I hope that Forgboy makes me participate in the alpha.

What?

One of these days, maybe I'll stop procrista... procresta... aww shucks, maybe I'll stop taking my own sweet time.

Just preordered myself.

One thing that REALLY puts me off about strategy games is when the game is so complex I'm just overwhelmed with understanding what impact my actions are actually doing and I don't understand why I'm losing.  The idea being that if I'm in from the early days I will get eased in to understanding the game as some of the best games I've owned have been turn based.

Has anyone counted the number of individuals from this topic which have pre-ordered?   I'd estimate it's around 200, but I'm just curious.    My pre-order post is several pages back, but somewhere in here.

Hello! So I finally got round to pre-ordering.. I figured it was close enough now.. I mean unless the exchange rate like qudruples the price in a month I'm still gonna want in on the beta, and I figured this way there'd be no chance of me falling asleep and missing out

I too wonder how many preorders SD have got for Elemental so far and how well whatever number it is relates to their targets (if they have such things). I also wonder if they did any specific market research before embarking on this fantasy tbs adventure to see what sort of audience there is out in the big wide world for it or if (being the flamboyant artists that we know them to be) they just decided that if they made it good enough then an audience would appear
