[quote who="Xadie" reply="51" id="2893950"]It's a good thing that Fallen Enchantress is concept wise made from scratch. I think Elemental: War of Magic has too many construction sites to ever reach the status of polished and fun. Though I still hope you guys aim to create a full blown 4X game.[/quote] I could be wrong, and I hope I am, but the way I read the press release and the following info, I get the impression that FE will be more geared to RPG than

Any chance of an updated caravan management system? This would be my first item after the technical issues are resolved. There are others, but I doubt we will see much done with WoM as it looks like the vast majority of resources are being funneled to FE.

But things are changing so much I decided to set it aside and wait for Fallen Enchantress to get into playing again. Probably won't play WoM again to be honest.

Reply to Quests in Elemental Dev Journals Stardock Forums

I like the quests listed here and would like them all, and more to be added. There is plenty of room for many, many quests in this game. One note about rewards/treasure: currently, most quest/goodie hut rewards are obsolete as soon as you get them. Is it not possible to have the bonuses of the items scale, i.e. +1 or +2 above the highest currently researched weapon?

Reply to What do forests provide my city? in War of Magic Stardock Forums

[quote who="RichardPlunkett" reply="25" id="2878507"] Forests as a source of spawned monsters are quite useful. A good source of monsters is very handy to level your heroes (to get charisma to increase prestige). Especially good for stay-at-home heroes. Raise Land will get rid of your forest without pay gold (can kill a 3x3 zone of them). This is also useful for accelerating exploration if you have the mana to spare. Its one of the reasons Raise Land is high on my

Reply to Fallen Enchantress, a new game in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

[quote]A New Game There is also another advantage to Fallen Enchantress being its own game rather than an “expansion pack”. And that is, it frees the team to make radical changes to the basics of the game while allowing War of Magic to still be updated on its own source tree. A user of Fallen Enchantress won’t have to have War of Magic to play it and can treat War of Magic as a separate game.[/quote] There is your source of

Also based on the press release, it looks like they are really ramping up the RGP elements of the game. Not at the expense of the TBS aspect of the game, I hope.
