Looks good. ^^ I especially liked this part: Seeing a player with a huge amount of mana stored should be like seeing an opponent with a stockpile of nuclear weapons. It's not good.

Lord Xia is once again the voice of reason. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] I have no problem with the decision to put most of the resources into E:FE. It will be a far superior game and it will be free. I can't fathom how anyone would think this is a bad deal.

[quote who="Sethai" reply="17" id="2911396"]largely, i agree with crass_monkey. in sheer technical terms, elemental is as graphically powerful as it needs to be. strategy games don't need 10 billion poly models. even huge budget games like The Old Republic have realised that it is not always worth pushing the envelope any more. but i do think there are good arguments for questioning the dogma that everything that isn't an idie or retro tital should be sold at $50 (£30

Count me in as another person that loves middle market games. I "discovered" Stardock with GalCiv II and was quite impressed. I now love Stardock games and I also love the attitude of the company. You guys genuinely seem to "get it". I've been playing Paradox Games since EU1. I love history, turn based games and historical what-ifs, so they are right up my alley. I love EU3 divine Wind and am having a blast playing. EU Rome I immensely enjoyed and Vic

Very pleased to see that they will be adopting a more AOW:SM system for FE. I was really hoping for this and it makes me even more excited about FE. Let's let monsters pour out of the shadow gate, cast spells that destroy cities and have heroes that can turn the tide of battle. That quote makes me happy as well. Having bad ass monsters like that will make victory all the sweeter in the end.

Very positive changes. The death of a sovereign change I like very much. I also would like to see the return of minor factions at some point. Keep up the good work. [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

Single player is good enough for me. :) Although, they should make a multiplayer version because they promised that originally.

Reply to Fallen Enchantress: Rethinking land in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

[quote who="AlLanMandragoran" reply="12" id="2896523"]My thoughts: Aesthetics Critters or people running around would help - depends on what the engine can tolerate given memory constraints. If in a jungle, show some leopards or monkeys or whatever lore creatures exist. If a savannah, lions and elephants or w/e. Basically, show the wildlife. Vary the amount of tile types and versions of each type to broaden the look Have the land become more alive as

As a practical matter, Fallen Enchantress is a new game, one that shares some art assets with War of Magic but little else. The scope of the differences between the two will become very apparent in the early months of 2011. Extensive brainstorming sessions between Derek Paxton (Fall from Heaven), Brad Wardell (Galactic Civilizations), and Jon Shafer (Civilization V) resulted in a complete redesign; combat systems, tactical combat systems, character creation, economic system, gam

Reply to War of Magic–Report Card in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Marks are out of ten. The higher the better. EWOM At release = 3.5 EWOM Now = 6.5 It's come a long ways in my opinion. Hopefully EFE will bring it up to around 8 or so. I find it a bit dull now but their is still enormous untapped potential here. Stardock should be commended with all the work they are doing to fix the game. Civilization 5 At release = 3.5 Civilization5 Now = 4 Didn't li
