So, as someone who already owns HoI3, can I be assured that there's a benefit to pre-ordering on GamersGate above and beyond getting Sengoku? (incidentally, downloaded the demo but have yet to play it)

Well, aside from the blue coin bonus, of course...

In other words, can we gift it if we already own a copy? Can we hold onto the gifted copy to give out later, or do I have to do it immediately after ordering (like, without any delay)? I only ask because some appear to be having trouble receiving the gifted copy, or giving it away when they already own it.

You can gift your extra copy, just avoid clicking on "show serial key" and select "gift" instead, then you'll fill a form with the data of whom should receive it. You can gift that later, just be sure not to click "show serial key" or it will be associated to your account.
I haven't received the bonus key immediately after buying, but I've opened a ticket and the GG support gave me the key in about 24 hours.

It doesn't work like this. Because rather than actually giving you a second cd-key it just resets the cd key you already have, so you can gift it, but then you'll no longer have your own copy.
 
Hello everyone!

Now you have pre-order Sengoku on GamersGate!
http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-SENGOKU/sengoku

When you pre-order you get a free copy of Hearts of Iron 3. If you already own the game you can gift it to a friend.
Just now we also got the forum codes and they are now live for you to register.

Enjoy

I hope Steam is offering the same deal!

I've been through this before posting and did exactly in that way. As i wrote, if you don't get your 2nd key immediately, you just have to open a ticket and you'll receive it. I've got mine within 24 hours, gifted it and still have my copy.
 
Legal trouble all ready? Ouch. Be careful with them typing fingers.



Congratulations ! Don't forget to join The Iconians Club 20

And your already halfway to the Iconians Club 50 :)

Veldmaarschalk,

Will PI create icons for older games like "Knights of Honor" and few other classics??

I just learned of Knights of Honor and I will be getting that one plus others when I purchase Sengoku on gamersgate (I expect there to be a sale event of some sort to celebrate these new releases so I'll be buying a few).
 
I will repeat... will there be Sengoku forum avatars? im waiting for takeda banner since i hoped DW will have real clans.. >.> or else i will use a paradox dev one :p (why are they available to use btw?)

Hmm, They should not be, I have double checked the permission, are they still available, or maybe someone beat me to the fix.

Good to know, I have the same problem. Contacted them now, nice to know that that'll probably work.
