I've thought about this for a while and wanted to throw this out there now. I think your next expansion (if need be, Kickstarted), could complete this game and possibly make it the greatest 4X (of any kind) of all time. The theme? Faction differentiation. Faction-specific everything, pretty much. Faction specific mounts, technologies, buildings, heroes, monsters/

Meh, I like your Elemental universe better, now. I probably played MOM for 500+ hours. No joke. I can honestly say that LH is more fun. If there was an alternate dimension in LH, however.... I'm writing a post on my suggestions for FE's next expansion. Check it out when it's up!
Even better that it's a fantastic, classic game. Seriously, a classic.
Firing it up and FINALLY having fun. The most fun I've had in years!
[quote who="Alstein" reply="28" id="3360790"] It was about not conflicting with the Microsoft disasterpiece that happened today [/quote] What about it was a disaster, exactly? Oh, nevermind. I see the furor now. I don't really care about all the stuff everyone is so upset about. Oh well. Can't please every(any)one.
Oops, I thought release was today. DOH!
Yo, is .95 the release version?
^ that's why you fix it before you reinstate it ;) ^
When is the exact release? And is .95 pretty much the release version?

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="60" id="3357283"] Do you already have ideas floating around for the possibility of another Elemental entry? I can keep a secret It all depends on how well this game does. As long as people want us making fantasy strategy games, we aim to provide them. So far, we've made Elemental: War of Magic - which was a commercial success but a critical failure. Then we made Elemental: Fallen Enchantress which did well and was
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="33" id="3357230"] Quoting BlackRainZ, reply 32 Indeed. Frogboy put it much better than I did. Also, I do agree about the Diplomacy. Frogboy, I hope you guys are planning on making it better? Or is that not happening? The problem I see with diplomacy is not easily fixable. Otherwise it would have already been. I've asked Soren to think of things we can do on it. Apparently, Civilization IV had some sort
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="55" id="3357222"] Quoting XWerewolfX, reply 52 Frog, I thought the original plan was to release Fallen Enchantress and two expansions, one provided free to early adopters and the next being a paid-by-all expansion. Has that changed? I've been pretty vocal about my love for this version of Elemental. It's really good. I'd hate to think there won't be more.... Either way, you&
[quote who="Youngblood-52" reply="51" id="3357200"] I have to agree with the original poster. This game is a solid 8 as it stands now. Certainly lightyears ahead of that 4X imposter StarDrive that was released a while ago. There is nothing in LH that is a game breaker for me. Of course there are areas that I would like to see improved like diplomacy and such but nothing game ending. Congrats to Stardock and team. [/quote] </p

^ That would be pretty awesome, Pneuma ^ As for the naysayers: I still think this game is the most fun I've had with a fantasy 4x game. Ever. Maybe it's not perfect and maybe it needed more time to have things fleshed out, but it's still fantastic. Perhaps with the final, paid expansion, they will take the time to smooth everything out. And please, fix diplomacy with the next expansion. Make it a dynasties and diplomacy focused expansion and add sea warfare. You
Agreed with general posters' ideas here. Allow me to spend fame, instead of being forced to choose at fame increments.
/agreed. I think that HP bonus would work and I think there needs to be another pass at balancing them before release.
Agree that tactical spells should be on cool downs only if the AI stats using them more....

I also hate that elevations on tactical maps doesn't matter and you walk right through it and shoot right through it......
[quote who="Alstein" reply="15" id="3354804"] Usually Stardock holds their campaign/scenario stuff, in addition to some other content, for release. My assumption is that they want the game to remain fresh. I know in the case of Twilight I felt like the game was a little long in the tooth when it was released because I played it too much in the beta and the content kept dribbling in. In the case of LH: I'd love to see one more expa
This is good to see. I'm hoping too see some of the glitches I reported in my thread fixed, too. Any chance of that engineer unit we spoke of?
^ how so? ^
