Considering how good it is, i can't imagine it is selling poorly. Since Civ 5 sold so well you can bet this is selling well too. (since frankly it is better and more clever in some of its gameplay design)
These stats says nothing about sales, but it gives a little insight to how many play the game on this saturday.
Pretty far down on the list:
Steam Stats

Pre-release game had barely any marketing presence. I would not even hear of this game, if someone haven't added link to youtube clip of guy playing early beta late year, on some foreign forum I regulary visit. In fact, even these forums where ghastly empty up until the release.
Good: cheaper development cost, due to little or no money spend on marketing. Also explains 20$ sell price.
Bad: a lot of people will never even know this game exist.
Really Good: these forums are now busting with life, which means that word of mouth is doing its own marketing

I Don't believe sales stats are publicised normally. So, we're pretty much left in the dark and to educated guesses...
I think this game will become quite known, given time.
There has not been a similar one for quite some time (not a quality one anyway). Actually Age of Wonders I. is probably the last remakable one.
I would also like to thank Firaxis in this way that they have developed a nice engine for this game. They game they originally developed this engine for was a huge dissapointment for me, but now I can at least think about it as buying Warlock for some 70 euros (50 for engine, 20 for Warlock). Not a bad deal.
I am keeping my fingers crossed that you'll have success with this game.
I am impressed by it. After a day or so playing it I think it has everything I ever wished for.

This game does NOT use the Civ V engine in any way, shape, or form. Warlock:MotA is made by Ino-Co, whose prior games have used hexes and predate Civ V. And board games were using hexes prior to computer games were.
Strange. The game seems like it was made on that engine. The graphics, clouds, cityscreen layout. It is very hard to believe it's not the same engine. Even my flatmate said "Civilization V" when he glanced at it.
It is the graphics that I was referring to, not hex system (btw I mention Age of Wonders I. as a game I liked and it's a game from 90s and it uses hexes too).
Anyway, I'll take your word for it, I am not going to research it. Thank you for clarifying.

Seems you missed this debate before release.
Also please keep posts on topic with the thread subject as much as possible.
Thx.
The Steam stats do look a little discouraging. I've waited for a game like this for such a long time...
Being released the week before Diablo III probably hasn't helped matters. Also the UI can be a bit intimidating at first (ok, I want to stop there, now get off my curser...no...no...argh goddammit!)
Hopefully things will pick up later.

list it as a recommended game in your profile on steam and help spread the word. I really want this game to sell so they make some nice beefy expansion packs.
Does anybody have other ideas on how to get more people attention on this great game?
I would say just spread the word with friends and comment on Youtube videos saying how fun this game is. Also let people know there will be a FREE DLC/update that will add multiplayer so that may help encourage people to buy this fun game.
