Rome II pre-orders 6x higher than Shogun II

There will be pre-loading before 9/3.

That's good to know. Certainly makes sense.

I think there is a good chunk of 'historical accuracy sells'.
There is a clear effort to try to really capture the full scale of the historical period, with the massive variety of cultures & real unit types as in the successful Rome1 mods instead of the chopped short history channel style from Rome1.
If it was going to be that poopy Rome1 style I'd not be buying until after I saw signs of significant progress in Realism mods.
