[quote]1.3 is purely about features. And I don't expect 1.3 to be the end of the line. Just depends on what people want. Fallen Enchantress, I confess, is a lot better overall than War of Magic. But it is also more focused. So War of Magic will never ever be nearly as polished as Fallen Enchantress will be but for those who don't care about that but want to see things added to WOM that won't fit in FE we will continue to discuss that.[/quote] Isn&acute

So...1.2 comes out in the next days. And 1.3 will be mostly a feature patch, right? [quote] War of Magic v1.3: Changes Implemented Base HP lowered from 10 to 2 for trained units. Minimum trained unit group size changed from 1 to 4. Base map movement speed increased. World Difficulty will set the default difficulty of the AI players <span style="text-decoration: underli

Very disappointing. My biggest problem with this deal is this. Giving my personal datas was a conscious decision for stardock/impulse, after reading these forum and after picturing "Who are theses guys?". I dont do this for every company or on every internet-site. I dont throw this datas around like candy. I had never used Impulse, if this was a gamestop-platform right from the beginning. I dont "know" anybody from gamestop. Just a big retailer, who just wants to make big money an

For my strategic skill the strategic AI is....hmm...ok. But that means nothing, if i can win every battle, because its quite impossible not to exploit the tactical battles/ai. Overall... i would really like to see an overhaul for tactical battles. They are so boring and the biggest cooldown for me. (sry for my bad english)

[quote]But doesn't everyone have some sort of a LAN these days?[/quote] Sure. But i like to sit there with a friend, drinking a beer and playing side by side. We did this for years, because there was no internet or lan. ;) And I like that even today. Its a complete different ...ähhm...experience. :)

[quote]Not really.[/quote] I have to add something. Online Multiplayer = Not really HotSeat Multiplayer = That would be fantastic. HotSeat is such a great form of playing together (TBS Games).

Not really.

doublepost... sry

[quote]1.3 is going to be primarily gameplay. v1.2's only point is to try to eliminate the last vestiges of memory issues so that we can start evaluating larger maps, more content, etc. in the world.[/quote] That sounds great. :) I´vent played E: WoM for awhile. Because i played it so much till 1.1 and for 2 weeks after 1.1 came out. I got a little bit bored after that. New gameplay improvements, new content etc. will bring me back. :) And.

Are really there plans to improve tactical battles in E: WoM, Derek? If it is so, I´m back to the party. :) Otherwise i wait for E: FE.

[quote]how many of you guys that play on large maps actually finish the game? [/quote] Finished only two maps. Most of the maps I stopped around season 300/350. Because of this.... [quote] who="Heavenfall" reply="50" id="2888848"]I like smaller maps, [b] because once I get up to steam there's nothing the AI can do to stop me and I don't want to spend hours just mopping up. The most interesting game is before I conquer a faction or two as it's st

Always large maps...

[quote]Here's my fear... If 1.2 is only going to address AI, UI, and defects, does that mean ... ? a ) the hero/champion system in EWOM is finished? Will there not be any more updates to the way this works in EWOM? No skill trees? No new heroes representing each of the EWOM races? No new hero abilities? I've heard you say that you want the focus to be on the sovereign so will there even be any changes to the hero/champion system in Fallen Enchantress? b ) no more ga

[quote]As I already said talking about Gal Civ II's expansions, they were not stand-alone (or my memory truly betrays me) and required the base game. And you didn't get just one game but you had three because you could still play whichever version you wanted. Totally evolved and intereting Gal Civ II? Then Twilight. Vanilla with factions that resemble in uniqueness to those of Elemental right now? Then Dark Lords (base game). There is no "content overlap" that ends with you having only one ga

There are always complains. Thats right Wintersorg. But i also cant go away from the Expansion/New game thing. I have no problem with FE as a new game. But i´ll try to give an example. It was always said/wrote by Brad and other SD member that they will do everything to be sure that E: WoM will reach its potencial. The team does a great job to make the game better. Now for example there is one thing i like to see -> better tactical battles. I hoped for the Expansion, but as

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="138" id="2867640"]It's worth noting that we sell Sins of a Solar Empire on its own and we sell Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity. Usually, the difference in SKU's (thanks for the correction, not sure what I was thinking) is pricing and feature sets. I can't say what the long-term differences between War of Magic and Fallen Enchantress will be. I can say that the trees are split and there will be a v1.2 and a v1.3 and so on to War of M

[quote]So if they took the name of the new game away and just released the exact same changes and content as a series of patches, you'd have no problem? [/quote] Right now (stupid feelings ;) ) it makes a difference for me. I´m pretty sure E: FE will be the better game. Everything else would astonish me. With all the experience with E: WoM, the new structures/team, the new creativity, new energy, knowing the engine much better and.. and.. and.. :D So, yeah! I&acu

[quote]19. You are now able to select a tile under a unit without moving the unit.[/quote] Great! :)

I remember the 1.1beta starts with 1.09n (?) until 1.09w. 10 letters, if i count right . For 1.2 i dont excpect saturday patches as we had in the 1.1 beta phase. (I dont think its necessary :) ) So i make a bet on 8 letters. (1.11h) Nice to see a new changelog, altough the news about E: FE takes away most of my interest for E: WoM. Now playing E: WoM is like playing a nice game before the real Elemental comes out. Maybe its silly, but i can not control or regulate my in

Ok, i´ll take this thread to say ... Hi Jon. Welcome on board. Wish you a good start at SD and i hope you all together could make elmental better and better. :) I know, you hadn´t such a warm welcome like Kael. But i think, its all because most of the people here really care about elemental. And in the last years gamers had to take so much disappointments and frustrations. So i hope you understand the concerns and angsts. (sry for my english)

Welcome Dave. :)

Congratulations :)

Happy New year Stardock! :)

Sounds like a great year for all of us. :) Very very good points. I´m realy excited. :)

Interesting. Is it a problem you can solve?
