Thanks for your comments, Hubichakakov. I love the "Strategic Terrain Altering" that is available in Elemental: Fallen Enchantress! I really can't think of any solid 4x game, since Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, that has managed to use (what is essentially) terraforming in such an effective and Fun way. I have used it: (1) to broaden paths (where, for example, a Serious Monster blocked t
Thanks for your observation, Ensais (Reply # 10). I agree completely ... and this is an important point! In my experience (and I know there are a few contrary experiences, among the members of the Beta testing community) the Stability was significantly improved, in moving from the Beta 2, to the Beta 3. (I have noticed a small improvement, even, in going to

Somewhat to my surprise, this is genuinely interesting. Thanks for sharing! I am learning a number of things (that I might take VERY long to learn on my own, or perhaps never learn), partly because I do not play on the challenging level. One question: perhaps I missed this in the "small type" (pre-conditions), but why do you not
[quote who="Ausland" reply="9" id="3151366"]Collecting greaves is the cool thing to do in the Elemental world. My sovereign had a huge collection, I showed them to Magnar in the dimplomacy screen and he immediately surrendered. [/quote] Smart Move, Ausland !

I voted "no". Personally, I have never really had much interest even in the concept of a 4X game, or a Turn-Based-Strategy (TBS) game, being available in multi-player mode. And while I would not wish to spoil other people's fun, I would be concerned about Stardock expending scarce/valuable resources on multiplayer mode, and thus detracting from achieving the best possible ( "w

Just one additional note, regarding my previous reply (above). I said that it is not reasonable to expect or believe that razing a city can, or would, permanently (completely) destroy the fertility, and the productivity (resource availability) of the city. Even worse, it wouldn't/couldn't permanently destroy such a large surrounding area, as the 8 surrounding tiles, in the FE game. <span styl

I actually listen to the FE music about half the time. (I really think it's quite good.) The other half of the time, I tend to listen to "Fabulous Ventures", "Ventures in Space", or some other compilation of Ventures' music. (Several are in the process of being re-released in "cleaner" CD versions.) OR I listen to some older CDs of (semi-electronic) music by Tangerine Dream -- "Stratosphere" being an exampl
