Adding so many new magic spells that even Edwin99 can't think of anything to add!

But that would be easy, where did the $1M go? I'm pretty sure Kenata can't charge royalties for a mod

Beats me. But that's basically what the tactical battle system is, that, some rebalancing, and an initiative system replacing synchronous turns.

Paying for a team of senior managers to spend six months debating if it should be added or not?

... wait, that's my day job.

Please tell me Derek doesn't have Blago-hair. One like that is already too much cruelty for this poor planet.

... to revamp the entire graphics system, obviously (one can dream cant they?)

 

I mean come on, the original idea was to be able to play E:WoM on a netbook..... do they really think that basing your graphics on a computer that has absolutely no ability to display graphics was a good idea?!?!?

They are already moving away from that as they went from shader 2.0 to shader 3.0. Helps with performance and various bits. Frogboy said he wished he could even apply the same solution to E:wom to solve some graphical bugs and decrease the memory usage - but that it wasn't feasible since netbook owners wouldn't be able to play.

What's wrong with the art? The maps seem pretty good looking to me. Sure the champions could always have better facial features and better animation, but this is not an AAA game. There's no way a TBS like Elemental will ever get graphics like RTS, FPS or action games.

The art is not very good in this game with the exception of the cloth map. Art is very bland and well ugly.

As I said, it's not a AAA title. Making good looking humans demands a lot resources. Especially if you want to have customization in. Making space ships look good is much easier, like in GalCiv. Sure I wish the units looked better, but they don't seem that ugly to me.

As for the rest of the art, the world looks good in the latest dev journal, and the spell icons that I've seen are very good looking. Spell effects are pretty good too.
