Oh don't listen to me, I haven't checked the game out in a while. Stardock does have a good reputation so I bet they've fixed most of it now.

I read a PC Gamer review earlier where the reviewer found the game to be pretty much half finished and in need of a lot of polish. That's where I got it from.


Well, but that's sort of what Winterfate said. Not very encouraging. Too late now...here goes

You need to write more game-experiences I can still see your red-faced-desperation at a start of a launch sequence. Dang that was funny.

I haven't played the game in a while but it needed some work last time I played. The magic in the game it too weak. Version 1.1 is in beta and supposed to bring a lot of changes with more planned in future patches.

By buying before 1.1 final is released you will receive the first 2 expansions of the game free based on what I have read on the official forums. I think the game will wind up being a very good game so your purchase will be worth it.

I have not bought a new game since H5. Unfortunately, not much has caught my imagination except BG2. This game has; because it appears they are going for a blend of Civ, Total War, HoMM, with a middle-ground RPG hanging over all. If they can get it right; it just sounds like a very broad gaming experience. Thanks for sharing those thoughts. I'll post something later on if I discover anything worth my opine

I bought a game damnit!

Well I've got this game and just started and already don't like it. What is it with companies doing the sales bit all the time now? I want to play a game not be solicited every time I fire up.

Oh and starting out it looks like some strange Civ-wanna-be.(I like Civ) Was not expecting that at all. Should have known better than to think it might kinda be like HoMM.

The company's goal was to make a Master-of-Magic like game. I haven't started playing the game again yet but from what I have read magic is still too weak in the current patch. The developers say they are planning more stuff to make magic better.

Oh, the guy that made the "Fall from Heaven" mod for Civ4 is on the devopment team now. I'll likely not play again until I read that magic has been somewhat improved.

That seems to verify my saying it had a Civ feel to it. We'll see what happens but I played a lot of Civ and I doubt I am going to get too excited about this game. I was looking for something more imaginative, a blending of sorts. I guess I'm a truly dedicated HoMM fan. I either don't like  a game right out of the gate or I get bored with it really fast.

Have you played the King's Bounty series? It has a HOMM feel to it. You don't build up castles though. You hire creatures at different locations, develop your hero (mage, warrior, or paladin) and fight turn based tactical battles on on "battle map" like in HOMM.

Other than that, Age of Wonders2: Shadow Magic (the stand alone AOW2 expansion) is HOMM-like and can be bought cheaply.

No I've not. It sounds good but I just had a heartbreak. I tried installing H2 last night(still have both my original discs) and Win7 will not let the install exe. run. So I'm not hopeful about anything ahead of H3. I'm surprised I could install one but not the other? Guess I'll have to look around and see if UBI has an updated H2 set-up and maybe for the other games as well.

Elvin got me going with that HoMM thread, I wanted to see H2 again...now

Hi,

I have ( yet again ) pulled out Elemental : War of Magic and decided to give it another go.
I have read through many fora and one thing struck me time after time. Alot of people out there are missing a manual, a simple manual that explains things from a to b to c etc. about this , seemingly addictive, game. I never found one and thus I have un-installed it time and time again - I am usually a patient man, but in this case somehow I haven't been.
Then I came to read this post and now I am working my way through the game as he did. It may seem like I am playing after a manual, but other things are popping up and broadens my horizont.

Elemental

Take a look, and fire up the game once more I say

I'm slow on the uptake today. What fired you up? Did you get the "contest" e-mail?

What fired me up ? - I don't know if I fully understand what you mean by that.
If you mean what made me install and start playing this game again then, AH !

Let me take you back to the mid 90'ies - From where I am from we had a guy who dabbled a bit in sending out these monthly cd's  with lots of games,programs and whatnot on - Illegal as hell, but still, some bought them ( Not me of course - I knew a guy who knew a guy...you know ). And these cd's  never had any manuals included, and me, being young and eager to play these "new" games, fired up the games regardless and eventually discovered the different mechanics .
But alas, time has caught up with me, and I am now an old man with little time to use such an approatch anymore. So when I found this "Let's play Elemental : War of Magic" walkthrough'ish I decided to give it another go.
