Pre-ordering is a benefit not for the buyer...

Then how about:
"I believe that Israelis ride exploding busses and live in constant fear of terrorism"?

There's much more to be said and flamed, but seeing as all of this is completely irrelevant and is approaching flame-baiting, we are obligated by the forum rules not to do it, even if its hard to refrain from it...

We're both stating facts, I don't see why it should start flame wars.
Granted we're OT and irrelevant to the forum topic, but the camel/tent reference was too.

Yes please tread carefully.
You are endangering the thread which I was finding semi-interesting

1) We aren't really stating facts, both of us are vastly exaggerating. And politics often cause flamewars.
2) The camel/tent reference was an OT refernce in an OT (on topic ) post.

And now to something actually relevant:
Here's a nice benefit for not preordering, you get the chance to gather a group purchase of the game and get a nice discount.
I just gathered some friends for a group purchase of HoMM5 and we got almost 20% off.

One of the benefits I got for pre-ordering, apart from the exchange rate , is that I could order (and pay) for it when we got our end of year bonus. Not only did this make it easier to persuade the other half, but it also avoids any mid-month release and can't afford it till payday issues

There will be later addons to dom3 containging Merkavahs, Nephilim and Tetramorphs. I hope no one finds this political.

Funny, I've been thinking of that old Nephilim mod for Dominions 2.

As long as those aren't the Merkhavot (plural of Merkhava) PDF was talking about
By the way, I think a Byblical-Israel nation could be pretty cool.
Troops will be low-tech, using copper or bronze instead of iron. Commanders could be Judges which pack priestly authority with perhaps minor magic skills (1S or 1A perhaps), Prophets with random elemental and maybe astral + holy, Warlords would lead the troops, etc.

Were you the one who suggested that in the one old "suggest new nations" thread? Because I found the idea quite cool.

Thanks, ,I'm not sure if it was me, but it does make sense, and I think I did mention this idea before.
I searched the forum for posts by me and was unable to track down the relevant thread, but I did find another great thread:
The Mod Command Brainstorm
I sure hope this thread was taken into account when designing the modding portion of Dom3
