Chris Longpre has replied to two threads at the official forum. His replies aren't really anything new but since there isn't much else to post at this point check them out:

As mentioned previously, Westwood & EA have made this promotion available to any retailer who wants it. We do not force any retailer to offer the special codes. i.e. If "GreatGamesOfTimbuk2" wanted to offer the pre-order incentive to the happy citizens of Timbuk-2, then they can & will. Your voice, asking them to participate, is the best way to get them 'on the right track'. :)

Also, the European market is extremely strong and sells equivilant numbers as the US territory, so we are in no way ignoring our friends in Europe and the UK. :)

p.s. Electronic's Boutique is offering the preorder units in the US, and online. I'm not sure about EB in other territories, but it would make sense that they offer them elsewhere too. Call them up and ask. - LINK

There are over a dozen European reviews on the stands currently. 2 or so below 80% .. 2 or so above 90% .. and whole bunch of mid to high 80's. :)

As more of these reviews go online, and as fans play the game and post their opinions on message boards all over the net, you'll at least know that there is a lot of RTS fun offered in Emperor. Ultimately, each person will make their own decision on whether to get it or not .. and those that do .. will definitely have a great time! - LINK

So if you are planning on pre-ordering the game but are unsure if your local retailer will offer the units just ask them. If they aren't tell them to contact Westwood, Mike (Meatball), would probably be the one to ask.

In other news if you want to help in a total conversion of Emperor to that "other" universe Westwood creates games for contact Kevin, he needs all the help he can get. :)
