All that I can say about this game is that they're using a new macrovision anti-piracy product called securecast that's already giving people problems in the beta.
That doesn't seem like a good sign to me.
Basically it looks like a rather significant portion of those who were given keys/usernames/passwords cannot get those usernames and passwords to work for registering with securecast. If this is still the case when the game goes live there's a chance you will buy your new game, take it home, and not be able to play it because you can't register with their server.

And catapults attached to dwarven fortresses, and upgraded with fire.... well, yeah, there's a lot of really fun units. Full game will definately be much better though - more races, and can use the hero builder thingy. And of course, the campaigns.
