Why don't you send a preview copy over to http://www.gamer.co.il ?
I'm not familiar with them. I don't see any contact information in English. Would you be kind enough to pm me with an email address or physical address for them? Thanks
Hmmm, interestingly enough, the only contact information I managed to find on their website is webmaster@gamer.co.il (Basically, the "Contact Us" button is a mailto link to that adress).

Oh, and this isn't some site I set up myself to get a free preview copy
Its on of the best(/the best) gaming websites in Israel (the other being Vgames, but IIRC it has a smaller community because signing up for the forums costs money, egh!)

A word of caution though, the Israeli gaming crowd is noturious for two things:
1) Immaturity (The average age of a gamer in Israel is pretty low, I guess mainly due to forced military service)
2) Illegality (Pirating games is quite common in Israel [though not as bad as the more noturious countries])
So the game might not generate that much demand in Israel even if it does get a positive review/preview :\

Either way I will be happy to read a good preview in Hebrew
(Although I won't be that happy if its a negative one :\ )

And here ends my long-winded post

EDIT: Either way, once I get the game (which may be a while, since I couldn't pre-order [for personal reasons]), it will surely get a very positive review in the Strategy section of the Gamer.co.il forums

I'm not sure if it is the reviewer's 'fault' or the game's fault though.

what? the in-game help is there - maybe they just don't know how to use it.
What kind of in-game help is available? In Dom2 it was so often that your perfect turn plan was coming just one gem short - frustrating! Where is the in-game help when you need one?
The in-game help that I was talking about it a list of commands and brief explanations (very brief) that you can access from the main screen - so more like helping you figure out how to do something that helping you figure out what to do.

For helping you figure out what to do there is a tutorial game included.

That's not exactly what I meant I was thinking about something like typing in the game: "HELP!!! I need 1 more water gem!" and getting it

This works for me in multiplayer games... dunno what your problem is.

Looks great! I didn't realize that PvK was an anagram of his name.
