    I did as well, but really only because I found it for around $33 which I think is a reasonable price. I would not have preordered it if it was not for that. I too really hope this one isnt as buggy upon launch, but I guess we will see in another month and a half.

    I look forward to hearing how it is, I'm holding off this time, but I'm still very much interested in getting it, so I expect to hear lots of details from you guys on launch!

    I haven't actually done so yet, but I'm pretty sure I will at some point before 17 Feb.

    My (perhaps irrationally optimistic) hope is that Attila won't be too buggy if it's really an evolution of R2 rather than a major new installment of the franchise. At least that's my impression based on what I've read here.

    I'm interested in seeing to what degree CA really listened and responded to the customer base...and I want to see what it looks like as it comes out, rather than multiple patches down the road.

    And frankly, I'm also just interested in the new gameplay features, or in some cases, return of some old TW features. Can't wait to decimate an army (led by one of the "Other Family" generals, of course....)

    Don't do it, guys, you just encourage them to invest more on promotional material, at the expense of actually improving the game.

    I will not be pre-ordering this.

    There are some very nice looking features, most of which would be pretty neat for Rome2 & I'd probably buy it if they retroadded to Rome2 but they won't do that.

    But I'm really not all that interested in that Decline of Empire period, I like to be making a new great Empire with cool units & new building not cling to an old decaying one.
    I mean, there are a bunch of new Empires in this timeline but not really exciting ones like in the Rome period where you get to reunify Alexanders Empire & bring Hellenistic civilisation to the world, survive & flourish as Carthage, mature & spread Celtic civilisation, run the expansion of Rome etc.
    Late Rome/early Medieval units are pretty bleh compared to the various epic units of the Rome period.


    Also I totally don't trust CA to wait for the game to be ready before releasing it.
    maybe those guys should be doing something more useful...

    Well I got in on the ground for Rome 2. I was pretty disappointed because it didn't live up to the hype they created. BUT unlike Medieval II it actually got a hook in me. I say Med II because it is in the same area whereas Shogun 2 was Japan. ( I absolutely love Shogun 2)

    Im hoping they have learned from their mistakes but I severely doubt it..... I guess well find out

    Totally not shocked.

    I hope it works out better for you.

    And I really hope someone (and I bet someone will) ports Rome 2 to Atilla, so we can play Rome 2 with the features it should have had. The Roman era is the best for TW in my opinion.

    I got another VIP GreenMan Gaming email today w/ Attila listed at $34 bucks, still didn't buy it.

    Sticking to my guns on this one, $20 bucks and patched is my purchase threshold. And best part is, with time, I will get my way. I need to play a Stones wav file....time is on my side, yes it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIE2GAqnFGw

    I haven't yet but I believe I will. The Vikings DLC looks interesting. While Attila looks to be a a souped up Barbarian Invasion, as long as they don't go overboard on detailed micro-management it looks like it will be fun to play through.

    I don't see what's a concern about Attila being a "souped up BI". M2 was an update of the original MTW. Same with R2/R1, and S1/S2.

    Then you missed the point of all the hoopla making out like this was something new.
