[quote who="Faelyn" reply="9" id="2734892"]Anyone with a level head, should take a step back and consider what the op is saying. The standards of turn based strategy games of the past are indeed far higher than Elemental. In every aspect Elemental fails to meet standards of a decade ago.The campaign is a really bad joke, and Stardock should be ashamed of putting out this trash. I was a Stardock fan with almost every game they have made, but I would rather play, HOMM3,MoM

I'm getting spell animations with lightning....swirls of clouds and then lightning striking all around the unit. Looks kewl.

They can't make MOM because it's already been made you ....... ;))

I think too many players get confused as to what a Champion & Hero should be vs a god. Those other games allowed you to make and hire gods. Elemental puts in realistic champions and heroes capable of dying not being immortal.

[quote]Anyway, I firmly believe that good balance enhances fun also for singleplayer as it opens up options of how i can tackle certain challenges, the game play becomes more varied and dynamic. If you have several unbalanced choices favoring a particular option in a system that lives from demanding difficult decisions from the player then you quickly see how the game system falls apart as the one and only strategy dominates all choice alternatives. The player falls into some sort of auto-mod

Ok who modded the game and thought they would be funny?

[quote who="pmaura" reply="9" id="2733725"]well the truth is it does work, but what your dreams were for this game and what was delivered is probably different. This is not a deep strategy game in any way, its not close to civ, aow or mom. but its simple and fun for a awhile for me it will not replace or reaming on my computer for that long unless theres a serious overhaul [/quote] You're right about one thing it's not close to AOW it's BETTER! ;)) Plus I'm

I don't believe Brad or anyone from Stardock ever said they were making Master of Magic II? I believe he said he had taken ELEMENTS from many of them an incorporated them into Elemental. So everything from Master of Magic isn't going to be in this game, nor Age of Wonders, nor HOMM and all the rest. I think he did a very good job incorporating them this much this far. He had to make limits somewheres for each game. People really should stop comparing what is left out from those previous games

There will be tremendous christmas sales of this game I'm sure. I can hear the little 12 year olds screaming now for it. :))

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="13" id="2734086"] So, if you buy game you're somehow magically guaranteed not to be a troll? The OP is a shining example of this, actually, since he consistently trolls basically anyone who expresses concern about the game [/quote] Wrong troll I speak out to those who continually post the SAME THING. Perhaps if you could read and comprehend you'd see this. We don't need 20000 threads about the same thing on the main page and yo

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="18" id="2731604"]No, they've been deleting threads that are blatant flaming that offer a rant but nothing constructive. There are tons of valid constructive criticisms, and they've even participated in a few of the discussions. [/quote] They are still missing a bunch that need to be deleted.

I disagree that sons and daughters shouldn't inherit their parents spell books. That what inheirantacy is. I like some of your other ideas about selling off daughters one should get something out of the deal instead of just a friendship pact. Higher leveled children should bring in more loot agreed. The in line for the throne doesn't always mean the oldest child. In Medieval times there were several ways someone could take the throne instead of just the oldest. I always preferred the st

Nothing wrong with the UI it's fine and great and easy to understand.

[quote who="SnallTrippin" reply="13" id="2732052"]Just remember to POWER LEVEL your spouse (CAREFULLY) before you have children (Or before you marry). [/quote] This isn't a game about powerleveling or gaming the game. One should marry what one can get and then let the child grow up and gain their important stats. :))

[quote] Also, AI sovereigns START OUT MARRIED which is unfair and unbalanced.[/quote] Oh quit whinning it's perfectly fair the ai is never as good as a human player so getting a spouse before you do is perfectly fair. I guess you never played The Guild 2 either as they get spouses and some even start out with children and it's a wonderfully fair and fun game. :))

Hang out at bars. ;)) baw hah hah hah

I say everyone who buys PCgamer UK and is a fan of Stardock should immediately cancel their subscription. We'll show em.

[quote who="ZeratulTheDT" reply="161" id="2731736"]Eh, I could play through the entire single player of ETW on release with little difficulty. Obviously, that is just my experience. Also, ETW is a lot prettier than this game, and had a much more cohesive and useful veterancy system (see my post above regarding sovereign veterancy). Additionally upon release ETW's multiplayer was functional, so IMHO it wasn't "way buggier" than this game. [/quote] lol I remember the for

[quote who="asteroides" reply="159" id="2731730"]Pc gamer gave Spore a 91% score. I rest my case. [/quote] Exactly I had forgotten about that POS game for kids.

[quote who="rpanic" reply="151" id="2731630"]Since when is it ok to release a game in this shape? The article is correct I have told my friends the same. I was shocked when they released this game in this shape, makes it look like they have no respect for their customers, it was all about selling the game and making a buck, I guess they don’t care about the future. I have been a loyal Stardock customer since GC1 first came out and it’s sad to see that they did this. They have no e

A whole game finished in 12 hours first day? I think I'm gonna call bs on this one and that AAR is from some beta build you played earlier. You would have to know every feature, nook and cranny to be able to do something like that an even then I would highly doubt it. I used to put 72 hours into Civilization to finish it.

Thanks for all the many hours you've put in Brad and all the future ones you intend to as well for this game. I've been waiting for this since Master of Magic. I know it will have bugs in the beginning so I'm not worried about that. Job well done and now you can sit back and reap the benefits.

I have Vista 64 as I read Win 7 still has lots of bugs and issues with older games and now I see newer ones. Vista may not be as fast as Win7 now but at least it's been stable for me and I've been running everything under the sun with it lately.

What's this ATI 64bit bug thingy? I have an ATI 5770 is it going to fark up?

My list of must spells that I remember from MOM: 1. Counter Magic 2. Lycanthropes 3. Summon Ghouls 4. Summon Shadow Beasts 5. Summon Shadow Lords 6. Summon Hell Hounds 7. Flying 8. Water Walking 9.
