There are players without broadband or that simply prefer a more solid return for their money (I do, at least).
I haven't bought Galciv nor will I do, in part because Civ did not do for me (so Civ in space...) but also due to the selling scheme.
Btw, Warlords IV review is up at Gamespot and the site suggests Dom II as alternative...good stuff, the current playerbase of series like Heroes, AoW or Warlords is full of potential customers for Dom II.
