watched the gameplay video and there are some of mine points to be made about it.
1) The visuals look good. they are not obviously Crytek level, but have it's style and look good, I didn't even bother much about the animations of movement... if it would be on me...they can easilly leave the visuals as is
2) the UI needs a lot of work
3) nothing can be said about AI since we didn't saw AI doing anything (romes just standing still, the Pagans seemed like they were standing there just forever?)
4) diplomacy doesn't look like it has depth
5) have troubles a bit with depletion of resources from "fun gameplay" perspective, but for all I know it can work (or will fail)
6) it was a little bit too unclear why the settlements move but your farms don't and yet you gain still food from them?
the whole idea of moving settlements is a bit troubling for me
7) the idea of weather changing surrounding and it's impact on economy seems like good idea having some potential

all that said... I think I would probably like to see what they do with it in 1 year, but didn't convince me to give my money (even if I gave it fair thought).
The name of Jon have a bit troubling association for me.
Not convinced the sum they claim they need will suffice to get the game into great shape (UI, AI, diplomacy, maybe even some game design features overhaul/adjustment, beta testing etc) even without touching visuals (which they clearly care a lot about since it was basically the first sentence about lack of animations being problem).
