Note, the three variants for sale (and I fully understand what they mean) just put me off from buying AJE at this time. I have no problem with supporting a team by paying more for the product. But I find it nonsensical to add paying supporters' names to the credit list as if they'd taken part in the design or testing. Actually I don't need being given any credit whatsoever for just financial support...
I expect I'll be buying the game sometime in the future, but right now I'm rather offended by these gimics...

These are not gimmicks....a lot of companies outside France have the possibility to receive "Donations" or ask for them....in our country this is not the case, so we decided that people who wanted to support us and could not have the means to use what the rest of the world is allowed to do should get another way to do so...
In addition the client receives the game in physical version (free postage) in one or two copies, the first game's expansion (which price will be about the same as the game), and quite a few other things that have really a "value"
And nobody forces customers to buy those versions. They have the basic version at a very reasonable price
Last but not least, this is common practice in the outside world: have a look at a very famous and popular website / company named Kickstarter for instance

Thx AGEOD-Team for the fast help via Support Center. Download is working and I can't wait till it's finished (unfortunately it's quite slow)!
Thx a lot AGEOD for this hopefully marvellous game!

Ah, good to see Ageod offering its fans the ability to support it further (I got an email last year from whoever takes care of transactions for them, that I bought several copies of VGN and they wanted to make sure I did not make a mistake). With the Proconsul a little too rich for my blood (and my bank account), the Praetor version fits in nicely. Can't wait to play the game.

I for one salute Bertram, the first Praetor of AJE!

I like this approach. There is a basic version for everyone and a more-cool-stuff-inside (customizations, etc) for the collectors and benefactors of the AJE project. I don't expect many persons to be Proconsuls, this is absolutely normal, but the few that are should be treated with respect and admiration by the rest of us as their extra €s help the devs go the extra mile with the stellar support AGEOD already provides.
Win-win situation for me!

I got a bad message when using paypal - then the just enter CC option where you do not log in to paypal. I'm afraid to try it again for fear of being double charged. My shopping cart is empty now, after my first try....
I'll try again.
Please refer to logs:
PayPal response:
TIMESTAMP -> 2012-08-25T17:53:41Z
L_ERRORCODE0 -> 10736
L_SHORTMESSAGE0 -> Shipping Address Invalid City State Postal Code
L_LONGMESSAGE0 -> A match of the Shipping Address City, State, and Postal Code failed.
L_SEVERITYCODE0 -> Error
Which is wrong because I know my address and have used this card before. I have bought things off this website before with this card, even.
I'll try again.

Check your email that is linked to your account. The same thing happened to me, but when I checked my email the purchase was completed. I received my key and its link in my account information on the site here. Thankfully I did that before I attempted to pre-order again.
This is an issue that the good folks at Ageod may want to check into.

I have been checking my email. No confirmations.

The important thing is check you AGEOD Shop account if there is an order posted. I think if it's there then the confirmation will come and you can send a message to AGEOD support in the bottom of your screen when you've opened the order. If there is no order, well then no purchase has been made I think. If you are unsure contact AGEOD if there's an order for you pending somewhere ...
I am in the same boat as H Gilmer3. I did however try to use the Bill Me later option in Paypal. Would that make a difference?
I did send an email to customer support.
Unfortunately after waiting an hour I did also try to buy it through Vad? and for some reason that too said my payment was refused. The card I tried to use is fine I checked it before and after trying to buy.

Hmm strage ... I also had the error message when finishing my payment at paypal, but hitting the go back-button showed me payment accomplished. The order was also posted at AGEOD-shop. I got a confirmation email from paypal too, but had to wait until I got one from AGEOD with the download link and password, what took a while but in the end everything worked.
If you have paypal accounts you could also look if an order is being processed there ...
After looking at the installed game, and being unable to play it, I am appalled by the mental anguish and suffering this has called. Perhaps the guys at Ageod are true Romans, after all. September nineteenth seems so far away.
But I really like the special touches that have been done to give the legions their historical characteristics. I was overjoyed to look at the tenth legion and see how awesome it was in comparison to other legions. Now if only I could use it. Hail, Ageod!
