[quote]2. What races can be played and how do races respond to each other. If the Fallen biome is not a desired location for the player then am I right in assuming that only Kingdom style races can be played? And will there be racial disharmony between particular races and affinities with others?[/quote]Presumably the Fallen biome is not desired for Kingdom players, but it is desired for Fallen players.

Well this is a damn shame. Especially since dynasties really didn't need that much more to be great. Just basic heritance, really. Anything more would be gravy. The fact that I can just turn dynasties on is nice, but I was hoping they'd get that functional aspect too, and turn from a half-implemented good idea into a compelling game mechanic. Does this mean that cities still just up and vanish if an enemy sovereign dies? Also the "less city microma

This is certainly an area that needs work compared to WoM, far moreso even than the land areas. At least, I imagine the Elemental Lord of Water should necessitate something here, but I hope we can get more than that.

[quote who="myfist0" reply="1" id="2938492"]Just image what you don't see. This will change nothing. As soon as workers get more rights the company moves to a new country for fresh meat. So in effect if you change the conditions at that plant it will just move putting everyone there out of work. Maybe when they move they will take the nets with them so as not to have people dieing at the new plant.[/quote]Then they would be unemployed. [quote wh

No, Trojasmic, this is bugfixes. That should be apparent if you actually read the changelog.

Kenata: The violent bullying is really not the most problematic or important kind. Minor violence can be gotten over fairly quickly, and anything serious is extremely rare and will pretty much always be dealt with severely. Social bullying is much more significant, because it's very common in some forms, because it can effect the psyche and stay with a person for a long time (especially in the midst of puberty-related identity issues) and it's socially acceptable, at least within the

Hm. I get hardware failure all the time. I just make it work. Usually holding the disk drive while my Xbox starts does the trick. If fingers are insufficient, jamming a knife in the crack takes care of it, but that has potential to scratch up the disk label, which while purely cosmetic is something I'd rather avoid if doing so is trivial. I view it as much the same as blowing dust out of old nintendo consoles, or working around bugs on PC titles. I don't mind any of those things compa

So is anything nice in the works for those of us who play entirely or almost entirely on the cloth map?

To say we'll dissolve into dystopia is meaningless. Besides the eugenics, we've already pretty much reached the point of Huxley's Brave New World, and that's probably the most famous dystopia out there after 1984. That some people don't consider us to be in a dystopia merely illustrates that it's a matter of perspective: What people once found unpleasant, we now find normal. Is that bad?

[quote who="BoogieBac" reply="18" id="2934931"]Eh, it's like those method actors..."Anything for the performance!" And it may be the only way to get those 'Pink Space Ponies' that players ask for into a Stardock game [/quote]Oh man it would be totally awesome to get pink space ponies as an event. Like, a meteor falls and its full of pink ponies with fairy wings, and you can use them instead of normal horses and they're better, but if you use them then eventual

[quote who="Nenjin" reply="23" id="2934707"]The people that don't like [the developer's pick] are always going to be the most vocal. Using IRC as a benchmark of how many people they lost probably also isn't wise.[/quote]This is true, but the overwhelming apparent proportion still indicates that the actual proportion is likely fairly high.

[quote who="Nenjin" reply="20" id="2934650"]I don't doubt the game will be available elsewhere, after release. Remember, this game has only been on the market for about a month. (Two to three weeks if you're looking at when PC gamers found out about it.) They're not opposed to offering it anywhere else, but they may be contractually obligated or just too damn busy to arrange it at the moment. While I feel for you guys on Impulse....I honestly have to be happy about this one, perso

[quote who="StevenAus" reply="18" id="2934629"]Let me guess, Steam exclusive. I guess certain users will stay with Minecraft then (which I presume doesn't use Steam). Best regards, Steven.[/quote]My understanding is that it will be Steam exclusive at least at launch, and may always be on PC, though as it's made with C# and XNA an XBOX version is all but announced. Minecraft does indeed not use Steam, but it's a different sort of thing. Your statement

I don't think any of the sites I use besides Google do this. So what I'm seeing here is: If you use all that web 2.0 tomfoolery, you can expect it to contain web 2.0 tomfoolery. Makes sense to me.

[quote who="Raledon" reply="6" id="2933862"]Frogboy, in his dev journals promised Elemental to take the best of MoM, AoW and some of Stardock's heavy strategy games. Between what was written and what was done... I just hope that Fallen Enchantress is not another beta, but that game Elemental was the beta to.[/quote]Oh hey, someone who doesn't know what a beta is. Don't worry, it seems like this is a fairly common point of ignorance. If WoM was a beta to

[quote who="Tridus" reply="13" id="2933450"] Quoting Frogboy, reply 11 Well by some of the standards here, Starcraft 2 multiplayer is "broken too" (of course, there are people on the blizzard forums making that claim all the time). Multiplayer was never ever promised (or envisioned) to be simply the single player game but with multiplayer. Deal with it. Comparing Starcraft 2 to WoM's multiplayer is such an outrageous comparison its hard to believe anybody s

[quote who="Phylast57" reply="88" id="2933191"]Uh, no. Been with this since launch. We (I mean SD) need to see this through. Come too far to let go now. It is a quest--a mission.[/quote]Why? I see no reason that it should matter which particular subtitle our Elemental game has. [quote]We want EWoM.[/quote]Perhaps you do. I have E:WoM, and want E:FE.

[quote who="ozo" reply="84" id="2933147"] Quoting EternalRequiem, reply 83wow... suddenly realize this forum is full of whiney bitchy spoiled brats/ Makes me wonder exactly how old some of the people posting negative posts are and if they've actually worked a day in their life or know what a good day of hard work tastes like.That is partially because people expected E:WOM to be good but it was a total disaster (a fact, everyone admits and knows this, at least people should). And then

[quote who="BoogieBac" reply="42" id="2932970"] Quoting Trojasmic, reply 39either that or listen to the Beta community who were telling SD that EWOM was a 4 out of 10 before it came out... Indeed...what's nice this time around is that, by the time you guys get FE, it will be 100% feature complete (sans polish). No more "How should we implement this?" or "What about this feature?" discussions...you guys will have everything you need to pass gameplay judgement and suggest change

So you think people who play fantasy games have less imagination than people who play sci-fi? By my perception, it's more that people who play sci-fi are satisfied with less in terms of the things fantasy people prefer, if they are satiated with interesting tech and things like that, while magic and such systems would have to be totally revolutionary and unheard of to draw in Fantasy fans, who are more discerning when it comes to other aspects of the setting.

[quote who="hfbrooklyn" reply="8" id="2931143"]I really want this game. Never wanted minecraft, but I want this. My only gripe is the Final Fantasy-eque avatar designs. I feel like they could have taken the time to just make a new sprite rather than reuse the tired old FF sprites I've seen a million times. Cave Story had nice sprites. I guess maybe it has to do with being older. I think the sprites are homage to FF, but I've never been into FF like that since I wasn't around when
