Personally, I'd have liked to have had a Stardock employee personally hand deliver my copy of the game to my house.

[quote who="Zanzibar" reply="3" id="2867780"]It's honest replies like this that keep me interested in elemental, and a supporter of Stardock. I don't think there is another game studio/publisher, where the CEO would answer any question let alone a loaded question the likes of the original poster. Bravo Brad. Thanks for caring. -Zanzibar [/quote] I must concur. It is a refreshing change from most forums

It would be really cool if Stardock published an "Elemental Artwork" book. Perhaps have a lot of the lore explained as well. Get these fantastic artists to collaborate with David Stern on something like that. Or maybe I just want a nice looking picture book. :P

Yep. A little civility goes a long ways. I think a little swearing is ok. A 4 letter word here and there shouldn't ruin any one's forum experience. However, if the swear words are directed at a person then it becomes a problem. If I say that your idea is f'ing retarded or that you are a g.d. a-hole then that's unacceptable. That makes for a bad forum experience. If someone says that the "f'ing game crashed just as I was trying to save after buying equipment to outfit m

[quote who="Femmefatal48" reply="119" id="2867105"]Ahhh I see some of the Paradox FANBOIS are here as well. They know full well how the gestapo moderators work over there. They delete posts and ban for saying negative things about their games. I've seen it, my friends have seen it and YOU have seen it. So don't act like paradox forums are gods gift to gamers. Worst forum and worst forum fanboie members I've ever seen.[/quote] I'm not a Paradox Fanboi. I just find it odd that you'd sla

It's nice to hear about the team working on the expansion. Puts a more human touch on the whole deal and it is appreciated. Not many game companies bother to do that. Thanks for the information. [e digicons]:bebi:[/e]

Good stuff. [e digicons]:bebi:[/e] Nice looking wallpapers.

[quote who="jpinard" reply="192" id="2866890"] Quoting enoeraew37, reply 186How can you believe anything this company says when with one hand they offer the gamers bill of rights while with the other hiring, sheltering and embracing someone who would be its worst violator. You will have to accept (which is difficult I agree) that the issues with Civ V truly have no fault with Jon (except maybe the loss of city health), nor most of the team at Firaxis. People ha

[quote who="scratchthepitch" reply="8" id="2866587"]One could substitute other words for the curse words. Such as this: The NobleJms with this NobleJms. or That is a load of NobleJms. or I don't give a NobleJms. [/quote] I like that. I was on a hockey forum that did that. It had an auto censor that filtered out the swear words. For example: cock = jeffery fuck = i

Until then, this is merely slander. [e digicons]

[quote who="aeligos" reply="40" id="2866281"]Frogboy, I am actively promoting Elemental/Stardock, and I was asked if a DEMO or TRIAL version was available for this game... Any plans on making one? If so, when? I'd like to give them your answer on this. Thanks! -.-[/quote] Me too. I have a number of friends that don't live close to me that would be interested in buying but they'd like to try a demo first.

[quote who="Lothos" reply="49" id="2866308"]I think you guys miss the point If the classify it as a second game and never make an expansion for War of Magic that means the sales pitch they gave everyoen in December that if you guy the game before the end of the year you get the first expansion free has been null envoid and you get nothing for free. What in essence they can do is now claim this new game as a new game and re-charge everyone for what really is the expansion

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="44" id="2866300"]I would like to know why this Enchantress is so clumsy? And, in game, am I able to help her back to her feet?[/quote] Maybe this Enchantress has actually fallen in love? Perhaps Stardock is going to pull a fast one on us and release this on Valentine's Day as a love tribute to all its fans! [e digicons] Err...maybe not. [e digicons]:blush:[/e]

Sounds pretty cool. So I'll in effect be getting 2 games for the price of one. Can't complain about that. ^^ Down the road it may even be 3 games for the price of one. That is if the second expansion is a stand alone game as well. As long as EWOM isn't neglected when the shiny new EFE (Elemental Fallen Enchantress) comes out I'll be overjoyed. I'd like to see EWOM reach it's full potential as well, as promised. I'd

[quote who="Femmefatal48" reply="101" id="2865901"] It's one thing to not buy a game, and it's one thing to return games (although returning games because of how you're treated on FORUMS as someone mentioned above?!; you've got to be kidding), but when you want a company that makes quality games to go bankrupt because you feel bad about what they're doing, then you might have the problem, not them. Sorry to burst your bubble bud but it's a free world we live in now and we can think

I found that a bit odd that I could deck out all of my heroes with Elementium. I too would like to see Elementium being extremely rare where you have to go on quests to find it and defeat some pretty tough hombres in order to acquire it. Also have it occur infrequently on the map but maybe near the really tough areas that are not good for settlement until they are conquered. Like the chasm area with earth Elementals and demons or the deranged Nature Elemental.<

[quote who="WhiteElk" reply="41" id="2865888"]^^^ And the cutoff date kept getting pushed back and back and back yet again!! And you can still get a fat discount if you preorder. Nothing lame about how this all went down. Stardocks gone long past the above and beyond point. There is nothing here to disparage them for. Whohoooo! I'm anxious to learn more. Guardian monsters, interesting locations, wizar

The updated economic system sounds interesting as well. I wonder what they have planned for that?

If Jon can and wants to talk about that old stuff, that's his prerogative, but is not obligated to do so for your sense of well being. I think this hatred for him and CiV5 has really gone beyond what a truly open dialogue could accomplish, I don't think you or others like you would be satisfied until he gave you a pound of flesh. I think the best move fo

Great stuff. Even more excited about the future of Elemental. Thanks for sharing a little bit about the design process. :)

Perhaps deranged Nature elementals, demons and earth elementals will but a damper on ICSing. Lol. Just let there be Druids. [e digicons]|-)[/e]

Whoa! [e digicons]:O[/e] This looks really, really good. Best part is it's free for myself and many others. [e digicons]:D[/e] That bit about the mad nature elemental and turning your opponent's lands into an icy waste sound fantastic. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] Argghh...I can't wait...

[quote who="Diardiamond" reply="98" id="2865548"] Quoting Lord Xia, reply 97The big problem, I think with Champions, is just how gear centered and dependant they are. for the most part, how powerful your Champion is is based on the gear they have, not the champion themselves, so they might as well be all the same. Think of a level 10 D&D character with average 1st level equipment and then think of a level 1 D&D character with level 10 magic items and gear. Who w
