Been waiting for this for quite some time now, I just bought the Collector's Ed. last night.

Gotta say, I want to love this game, and when they finally get 'er all patched up, I'm sure I will. But for right now I'm putting it aside.

Bugs bugs bugs. I've ran into more than a few of them, and both of my campaigns I've had to abort/shelve for now. The "end turn" button bug cropped up on both of them, which forced a hard stop as you can't continue. I've been able to build multiple buildings in the same city that I should only be able to build one of. I've not been able to build in a city when I know I haven't hit the 50 tile build limit at all. Some unit bonuses aren't working, I forget which ones I ran into at this point. I saw but didn't run into the level 7, 8, on up spells not working/showing up in game. Units not following shortest/best path when auto-moving really vexes me. The overall game UI could really use some tweaking and polish. Other things here and there, but I've definitely seen more than a few bugs.

Tough-love assessment: they pulled the trigger on this about a month too early. Lots and lots of rough edges, and some stability issues for quite a few people. This is Stardock though, and they've proven to be a solid business with good ethics toward their customers and fans, so my disappointment is somewhat tempered. Will try it when the next patch comes out, hopefully very soon.
