DennisS: Thanks for the kind words! I certainly hope you consider pre-ordering the game.
Estimated date of release is around December 10th or so.
txwarrior_54: If it was a big hit? A big, big, hit?

Maybe, but then if it were a big hit, I might be alienating my audience by making such a radical change in "Coliseum II". The primary audience I think of Coliseum are those who prefer the planning and management of these type of games, and aren't wowed or swayed by 3D graphics (or at least not as much so).
It would depend on how big a hit it is. If YOU pre-ordered it for instance, I would consider it a smash hit right away!
