LOL, i wrote a huge thread on IMBD forums about how the trailer spoiling the entire movie was the reason it failed at the box office despite it getting raving reviews

Nice post. It really illustrates just how clueless the original design of Elemental was/is imo and really just points out how far it has to go to be truly a great game. Sigh

how do you tell when you registered it?

www.wesnoth.org For anyone that ever played Master of Monsters or Warsong/Langrisser on Sega Genesis this game is for you, and its free. I highly recommend it, and they also have a competitive online ladder system for 1v1 matches. Its VERY popular around the world. http://wesnoth.gamingladder.info/

Cool, and guess why me and 100k's of other people never bought or played galciv?

The competitive multiplayer of this game is really good. Version 1.10 is going to be released in a couple of weeks too

Its absolute blasphemy to make a PC game that doesnt have multiplayer. People play Consoles for SP. Anyone that has ever played games vs People instead of AI cant go back to just play AI... and guess what, thats about EVERY PC gamer. Obviously I will not be getting my online guild, who all spent tons of time playing giant games of Civ 5 together, to buy E:FE now. Do you think I'm the only one who is also not going to have their friends b

we all loved Master of Magic and have been following the Elemental series because of that Game. The ONLY thing MoM lacked was multiplayer support for us to play vs our friends. THEN YOU MAKE THE GAME WITHOUT MULTIPLAYER?!?!?!? I don't think you realize just how epicly you're failing the bulk of the long term followers of this project. why was it ever hard to figure o

[quote]There will be NO multiplayer .The release game won’t have it either. We may bring it back in some future expansion but no promises because rewriting tactical is a non-trivial endeavor.[/quote] you cant seriously mean FE wont have multiplayer once it comes out of beta, right? I mean, the main reason to play a MoM "spiritual succesor" instead of the real MoM is to play vs our friends.............

[quote]The full price for Fallen Enchantress is likely going to be $39.95 and it’s a stand alone game (and in fact, we may sunset War of Magic entirely – i.e. no longer sell it new after FE is released – however we may continue to release updates to WOM after FE comes out regardless to satisfy ourselves and our fans who like its game mechanics).[/quote] I think they really only need to continue the story to call it a sequel dont th

i'd like to point out that I was referring to hex maps only for the tactical maps/fights

[quote who="tanafres" reply="58" id="2989343"] Quoting flymar, reply 56What about autopilot lines or showing path at issuing a move command? Slam dunk requirement, which pretty much everyone on the Elemental forums has requested at some point, with no response that I've ever seen. We'll see.[/quote] yet another feature that is absent from Elemental that was in the game its suppose to be based on that is 16+ years old

well Fall officially starts Sept 22nd so I guess we gotta wait at least another month or two.. boooo

Well I definitely don't appreciate the sarcasm in a thread that is meant to promote constructive thinking

[quote who="Tridus" reply="3" id="2988444"]No we don't. The last thing we need is a half-implemented beta that gives people a bad impression. This is an important release, they can afford to wait on a beta until it's actually beta ready.[/quote] totally agree, but beta has been in discussion for 5+ months :P a limited closed beta for original game owners would do more good than harm imo

Don't hate me for this but this did cross my mind after discussing E:WoM vs E:FE with a friend... First off, get rid of the name Elemental and just call it Fallen Enchantress. You already have the domain that doesnt mention elemental in it. Second, scrap the race system of 10 human factions and go for the fantasy theme of all different races Third, redo all of the graphics... its the only thing that FE is keeping from WoM and it might

at first glance I do wish there were races like in MoM and not all Human... but im sure once people are really familiar with all of them theyre figure out the differences etc

Found these quotes in the dev journals: There are five primary paths to victory in Fallen Enchantress. They are Armies, Infrastructure, Champions, Magic and Diplomacy. There are 3 primary focuses for Fallen Enchantress; Tactical Combat, Magic and the World.

Multiplayer Since I don’t want that dangling out there, multiplayer matters to me personally but we know the hard statistics on the % of people who play turn-based strategy games MP (and I mean industry wide). The word tiny comes to mind. That said, Elemental will be receiving multiplayer love anyway. &

[quote who="Grrm" reply="44" id="2988360"]Any chance to improve sovereign graphics - right now (in WoM and on these screenshots) they look worse than in good old MoM.[/quote] This is honestly what bugs me the most about Elemental's graphics...

I did find in one of the dev posts that the beta will just "show up" in our impulse account one day this fall Problem is that this fall is Battlefield 3, Skyrim, Diablo 3 beta, and Homm6......... we need E:FE NOW! =P

[quote who="Sir_Linque" reply="22" id="2988146"]What's wrong with the art? The maps seem pretty good looking to me. Sure the champions could always have better facial features and better animation, but this is not an AAA game. There's no way a TBS like Elemental will ever get graphics like RTS, FPS or action games.[/quote] ever play homm5? have you seen what homm6 looks like? the art is just too cartoony for me i guess

"graphics system" wasnt what i meant, my mistake i meant revamp all of the art, ie give E:FE modern graphics

I find it sad and ironic that they tried to make a spiritual successor to MoM and then didnt even fix the one problem with that game (lack of multiplayer support)

... to revamp the entire graphics system, obviously :P (one can dream cant they?) I mean come on, the original idea was to be able to play E:WoM on a netbook..... do they really think that basing your graphics on a computer that has absolutely no ability to display graphics was a good idea?!?!?
