I think I have to go with General Jack D. Ripper. "Yes, a uh, a profound sense of fatigue... a feeling of emptiness followed. Luckily I... I was able to interpret these feelings correctly. Loss of essence."
I was so excited when I got the release email that I forwarded it to my friend, another MoM veteran. It was only after that I went to watch the trailer, and man, I was just embarrassed. If I had watched it first, I would have just told him it was coming out and linked him to the homepage. Bear in mind, I pre-ordered the special edition. I'm in, but it's hard to get other people involved with that terrible, cheap, uninteresting trailer. Food for thought. I hope someone d
[quote who="spatula5" reply="57" id="2720217"]When I click on past orders, should I see the copy of elemental I pre-ordered or not till I'm charged for it?[/quote] Probably not until you're charged. I never got my purchase confirmation email either. When I emailed sales support they said I had one in the system, and told me the order number. Why am I reloading the forum, when I know it's going to be at least 7 more hours to release? I'm going to bed now.
[quote who="Raven X" reply="7" id="2720468"]I name cities after myself all the time Also many of the characters in my game are named after me and my wife.[/quote] Sometimes I pick characters from some movie or TV show I like to name cities or characters. Sometimes it's celebrities I'd love to see duke it out. A few times I've used characters (or places) from other games - Thrall, New Reno, Cloud, Graham, Liberty City, Krynn, Iolo, Nameless, etc. Tried naming th
I'll be really disappointed if Elemental has bugs. It is the love child of one of the first (and IMNSHO best) 4x games. Master of Magic was truly a quality product, and the minor bugs that were in the initial release were completely fixed by subsequent patches. Wait. No, I'm sorry, it had massive, game-breaking bugs on its release, and the final patch version left many bugs still in. It is a great, fun game to play even today. I'm no fanboy, but a game can be fun *and*
[quote who="Fading_Suns" reply="16" id="2720382"]Ahem... No one is mentioning the prestige that comes with the dragon figure? Or the cloth map? I still have all my cloth maps from the Ultima series. Ah, good times... But yeah, the game will only improve with future updates and support which should be available quickly. I'm counting on just spending the first few days getting the feel of the game down, exploring the factions and playing with the modding
[quote quoting="post"] Just wondering if Stardock has released anything on approximate times[/quote] Yeah, Frogboy said "morning" for beta folks and "midday" for pre-orders. It appears that those are both Sunday, and based on US EST (GMT -5 right now, I think).
[quote who="Jeslijar" reply="60" id="2720351"]requires-the-internet-to-play-single-player[/quote] *snort*. Yeah, that really works. No, really. It's not at all possible to block the Ubisoft servers and replace it with some locally run dummy. I spend my money on games that are worthwhile and wouldn't waste the time or energy on any others, but really the tech is out there for anyone if they want it. Stardock gets it, and so I buy! The cynic in me sa
Absurd! I'm going to start complaining now, just to get a head start. Arrr! Graphics are terrrrrible!! All I see is a blank screen, and the sound is all choppy, like static! GG Stardock, you ruined my life with this disappointing product. I was sooo excited for the preorder, but I obviously just wasted my money!!!1!!! ... [e digicons]X|[/e] ... [e digicons]>_>[/e] ...

[quote]RE: Asking if MoM will work on win7 64[/quote] Yeah, that's exactly what I have. They guarantee the games will work on modern systems. It's ... so good ... [e digicons]k6[/e] [e digicons]:banhammer:[/e] [e digicons]:ninja:[/e]
Gog.com had Master of Magic for sale: $5.99! So I bought it (again). Old man! You seek the spell of mastery!
