I voted Good, in the current poll. I applaud Mr. Wardell, Mr. Paxton, and the rest of the design team for all the remarkable work they have been doing!

Great List, Kongdej! Thanks for the feedback. I pretty much agree with all of your points. Thanks, also, Horemheb, for your observation concerning the improved mechanics of Tactical Battles. IMO, tactical battles are so much improved as to be pretty much "fixed" now. I haven't had a single game Crash during a tactical battle under v0.90. That is a vast improvem

The Beta 3 really appears to be full of new features, as well as some substantially improved features. I wanted to start a Discussion thread, in which players could highlight some new, or really improved features, of the game, that they now REALLY LIKE!

[quote who="Glazunov1" reply="9" id="3134523"] Quoting OrionM42, reply 7 There IS a partial remedy for this issue, built into v0.90 !

Not so Buggy! To be clear, I have a real sympathy for the guys that are having issues with v0.90! I've had experiences like that too, over the years, and I know how frustrating that can be! (Please report them to Stardock.) That said, I feel the need to provide another report, of a user (me), who is experiencing an improved degree of performance, versus

Rebelito, in case you haven't figured this out, already: The second box, under the Downloads section of the Stardock Store, is labeled: Beta Update (to 0.90.002). But this so-named "update" actually embodies the patch, from .86 to .90. I downloaded it a short time ago, and it all worked just fine. So, I think it should work for you too. Good Luck !

Hey, Prawl31 ... You can can get into the Elemental: Fallen Enchantress (FE) Beta, at any time, just by purchasing a copy of the Pre-Final version, from the Stardock Store site, which is linked to this site. I speak from experience; because I am one of those people who never purchased Elemental: War of Magic. However, back on January 25 I took the plunge and "pre

Thanks, Mr. Wardell, for posting the random video tests of FE 0.87 -- the ( hopefully ! ) soon-to-be-released Beta 3. They really do look interesting, and are helping to keep my appetite whetted!

Not bad! Really, given the source, this is a pretty positive Pre-Review . I hope Adam Smith follows through on his thought, of buying Elemental: Fallen Enchantress, after the Beta 3 comes out on April 12. Then he can follow up this "heads-up" article, with a more complete one. Even if the latter article were not a total "Rave review", his observations/criticisms could still be a useful addition to the discussion.
