I am going to sound like a Stardock fanboy but what the hell. I have to say that the way Stardock involves its customers in the game design process is simply outstanding. My profession has NOTHING to do with game design but I have always dreamed of designing and publishing my own game. But lets face it...I do not have the time, and/or the programming skills required much less the funding needed. I have to assume there are many other gamers out there just like me.&

I must be stupid but when I try to pre-order the download version ($44.95) the price shows as $49.95 in the shopping cart. Error or am I doing something wrong here?

I would love this but it may be difficult for the devs to sort through and it would take more than just posting an idea here on the forums. I would think they would need an offical submission method and a limit per individual so people do not just throw out crappy ideas hoping something would stick.

This may be premature but I am hopeful for 2 things: 1. there will be no scripted missions. I have played some games where your only path on the campaign map was a scripted one...mission 1 must be done before mission 2, etc. I want to explore that glorious map my own way. I love the way the Total War maps let you move freely...translate that freedom to Elemental and you have a winner! 2. True tactical combat. I am not looking for Total war type battles

I'm in. Getting ready to order now. I love the process of being on the Demigod beta so I can't wait for this.
