Does it matter where I purchase the game?
Rome II is not region-bound, so you will be able to play the game from anywhere (no matter where you originally purchase it from)
If I buy the game from a foreign country, how will I know what language the game will come in?
Rome II keys are bound to Steam, and since TW:R2 is multi-language, you can change the language at any time in the properties menu from within the Steam client.

Rules and stuff
I saw some posts concerning the price of pre-ordering Rome II, and it seems the prices vary greatly from region to region, making it quite hard to tell if you are getting a good deal
So, starting now, let us as a community comb the interwebs for the best deals on pre-ordering this awesome game!
Rules:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:Product must be available worldwide. I know in some places in Europe you can pre-order the game for under $45, but that doesn't help the people living in Australia, or those of us in the U.S.
-Edit: I added a section for best "World-wide" price, and also a section for best Regional prices. If you know of some good deals in your area, feel free to post it!
-Product must be the "full version"... e.g. you can pre-order Rome II quite cheaply in some online stores, but you may not get the Greek Cultures pack. Read the fine print.
-The seller must be reliable/have favorable reviews. It IS the internet after all, some deals that sound too good to be true, probably are
-Must be legal. Don't bother posting links to "free" downloads and whatnot
-Please post only productive comments
Helpful tip:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Is it allowed if I ask someone else to buy a game that is not locked to a region, and gift it to me?
Yes, this is allowed. BY THE WAY, this also works fine on region locked games. It helps to have a friend in a non-locked country like USA, because they can buy the game and gift it to you, and it's perfectly legal.
Also, mind that some games have different region versions. Those versions count by where they have been bought, not where they have been installed.
