(view spoiler)[Arcadius was clairvoyant and clever enough to figure out certain truths on himself. Why did he play such a bad move in Aquesta? and doing so risking all he has worked for? It seems like lack of coherence but I'm surely missing out on something. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I'm actuallly not so sure about how clever he was. He definitely misread the events in Ratibor and made some assumptions that cost dearly. It really was only due to Miranda coming to him after the death of her mother that he got back on track and by that time Royce's life had hardened him to a degree that always made Arcadius wonder about him.
As for his attempts in Aquesta, he really wasn't risking much. Those in power were convinced that there was no real heir so who they put their power behind really didn't matter. If they had thought differently, then perhaps it would have been a bad move. But as I said, I think we differ in how much weight we put in him and his decision making capability ;-) (hide spoiler)]

I know I have asked this before but cannot find it - I just saw Age of Empyre is available to pre-order on Audible.com - does it in any way diminish your chance at hitting best-seller lists if I pre order it? Is it better to wait until first week of release? Sorry for repeat question but I have memory issues yet a zeal to proselytize your sales :)
