My friends and I own many 4x games on steam so I don't think there will be a problem finding a player base for it there though we'll be skipping out on this one as a group I think. We always play coop as a group. I've followed the game since I purchased EWoM at it's original release and got them all to buy it but it never really had playable coop. I don't think I'll get them to bite off on one that doesn't even have the option.

And that is fine, I'll just wait to play again until it implemented. :)

Honestly without Coop I probably will not play the game. I bought Elemental because it promised coop and an original game design but was never able to deliver on coop and it took months to even be a playable game. I still really like the concept and gameplay options/mechanics in motion for War of Magic but honestly I play games with friends as much to socialize and I do for the game itself.

Honestly I bought Elemental because I liked what I saw from the gameplay and it was supposed to have multiplayer. I love coop games with friends. I play Civ5 all the time with friends but I only play it when I have someone to play with. The same was true about Elemental. I quickly get bored playing alone but can sit all day playing a coop game. My friends and I honestly don't plan to really bother with this game after our experience with the first iteration u

Honestly my friends and I tried playing multiplayer once thinking it would be like playing single player but we quickly realized the multiplayer was too limiting with smaller maps, no customizable kingdoms and the intent was to play coop against the AI. After that neither of us really play Elemental much anymore. I load it up every once in a while but I really wanted a game to play with my friends. I enjoy the single player but the lack of a good coop system is a big turn of

Yes but I would love it to play the same as full single player. I sat down to play a multiplayer game with a buddy and found it to be glitchy and incredibly limiting. What's wrong with the single player game but throwing in more humans along with the AI? We just wanted to play coop honestly.

Then maybe every couple levels the heroes should have a list of special skills they could choose from instead of just stat increases. Every other level give them an option to add a new ability or increase one they have such as turning the +1 gildar per turn into +2. I also think the first hero you recruit at the start of the game should always be opposite gender from the starting sovereign to at least give you the change to marry. I've gone through the game and not found a s

So I had a large ring around my city from growth. One of the AI factions was able to build a city inside my area of influence. I am really confused about this. I can't even step foot in an AI influence ring without them sending me warning messages about attacking me but they are able to build towns inside my ring? That doesn't quite add up to me.

I like the idea but they will have to make the kingdom editor more in-depth. As it is now they really only allow you to change the kingdom name, color and give a few advantages and disadvantages. They need to allow players an "advanced" mode that gives the ability to set different building appearances for their kingdom's buildings first and if they add the "race maker" then use that as well to determine the kingdom's race. As it is I think they need to start with letting us

I agree they should start off a little stronger and have to improve but any heroes you pick up later in the game get killed in one shot by nearly any enemy spell. This is the major problem I've had with them. Even at the start of the game they die very easily. Maybe if the were kept as they are and simply have a way to purchase a resurrection for them in your capital at a special building or something we could at least bring our weak heroes back but at a price.

I know its a small thing but often in the game the quests will tell you to go north or west or some such and I've never seen a compass anywhere to tell me which way I'm actually facing without opening the minimap and just judging the which was is north by the camera angle. I know it's a small UI issue and maybe it's there and I just have never noticed it but an actual compass up in the corner of the screen would be kind of nice to have.

I did notice I tend to start awful close to opponents on large maps and was wondering why. Makes sense that maybe the distance to play is a fixed value instead of a different value based on the map size.

I've had weird stuff with the kids too. For some reason when the kids would do battle my sovereign would gain experience even if he was halfway across the world. Was really strange finishing a fight and my sovereign leveled up and he wasn't even nearby... The kids I've had in my game have all had varying skill and mana but none as high as your stating. I never send them in for melee though so I don't know how they would do. I do have issues with

I don't know if somebody clicked "next turn" while somebody was moving or what, but it was pretty frustrating." I actually had this happen to me and eventually I figured out what the problem was. I had a "scout" unit set to auto-explore but he quit explo

I really have enjoyed this game also but the random crashes every once in a while get kind of old. They happen every hour or so for me and when I check the debug file the errors are always different so I'm not sure what is really going on. I'm hoping the bugs get worked out because I'm looking forward to playing multiplayer with some friends once the AI are put in there.
