I might pre-order it. Ive been a followers of Brad for longer than most. Back when he was on Atari's and OS/2 and he was the most mentioned game source in the AI newsgroups. I heralded his coming to the newsgroups when he finally decided that Windows and Intel machines were advanced enough to support his games.
Ive always pre-supported his projects.
But I wont be expecting a MoM.

Too bad
AOW is a great game (though AOW2 wasn't, but AOWSM was better). I would love to see a continuation of the franchise.
I agree... the AOW series could have evolved greatly yet the devs lacked the vision. They now pursue an unpopular game because it brings more money. As I wrote in the AOW forums... it's like Michelangelo giving up his current works/interests and goes into becoming a tax collector because it's more money. If only they would have known what might have been.

If they get more money out of this "unpopular" title, it can't be unpopular. I think you're just angry because you don't have a PSP to play their game on.

Also, your metaphor sucks. It's more like Michelangelo going to the Vatican to paint the Sistine Chapel because a Pope wanted him to make something to show for huge masses of people who wouldn't know a chisel from a brush.

Sorry about the double post.

S.R. Kol, thanks for the forum link! That's great stuff. I especially liked how he described betatesting and its importance to the final game. That's really the first thing that really caught my interest.

Does anyone have any more detailed info about how the betatesting works? Is it straightforward "all preorders get to the beta", or is it something else?

I have pre-ordered yesterday. As far as I could tell there are two ways to preorder- either choosing to join the beta or not.

I've chosen not to join the beta as I prefer making rather then finding bugs

I just pre-ordered, probably a rash decision but have to support people developing one of the very few types of games I want to play

Yes, Triumph moved away from the AoW series, precisely because it was "unpopular" in terms of sales.

I pre-ordered. Looks cool and like Dragar, I like to support my favorite genre.

Also, Gamespot has a preview up here. Pretty much the same material as others.
