Will PA have a procedural campaign/map generator, or are these campaigns going to be a series of handmade, closed-circuit maps?

From the kickstarter page ( http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/659943965/planetary-annihilation-a-next-generation-rts ) :

The surveys won't do all of what they want so they've been putting together a website instead.  I think it's taken like 3x as long as they thought it would, already.

Did anyone else get the mail from the "Uber Store" with an option to preorder the game? I was under the impression that by backing, you'd get teh game, and now they want me to preorder for $40-90?

The reason I'm asking is because the page states:
Quote
*FAQ: Do early backers from Kickstarter and PayPal get the Theta commander?
You bet! You'll automatically get the Theta Commander if you pledged $20 (or $15 early bird) or more via Kickstarter or PayPal.

Now I'm confused. So if I pledged $20, the Kickstarter page says I get the game. Yet now I have to preorder one of the versions to get the game. Whatta?

I think it's a case of imprecise mailing.  Everyone on their list probably got the preorder email, not just the backers.  It doesn't really apply to the backers unless you want more or different copies, etc.

At least, that's my guess.

If, somehow, the game comes released and I don't get a copy for my pledge... well, I'll probably just vicariously and metaphorically slaughter them through a very specific scenario and AI Plot combination.

Set them to difficulty 1 and nuke every one of their planets in a stroke of irony.

Yeah, that was just a general email methinks.

Was nice to see that all the backers get that pre-order commander. So that makes it somewhat relevant in a way.
