Stardock's Elemental: War of Magic is already extraordinary, smashing genres together that may have been too big on their own in the first place.


This is like putting "quaint" in a house description. It's gonna tank faster than a submarine with screen doors.

You think?

I really liked their other games. I'll have to wait for the review mongers to get their
hands on the game before I decide.

I am looking forward to this game. I think it could do well, but it is trying to do alot at the same time. I'd wait for a few more reviews before getting it.

Well Stardock has a pretty good reputation. Besides even if it's just Galactic Civilizations in a fantasy world it'll be great.

I really want Sins of a Solar Empire 2 though :(

Exactly. Galactic Civ + Fantasy = win

I just hope it doesn't fall flat.

YO DAKKA DAKKA!

Looks like the sort of thing I could burn myself out on very easily. By that I mean I'd play the hell out of it. Rather looking forward to this.

Then again, I'm one of those people who play games like HOMAM.

I'm going to go and play HOMAM now... damn you malfred!


By the way... all such games should be reviewed this way.

Turn-based 4x is a lot easier to do this way I think.

Hahaha, made you play HOMAM!

She's bed ridden and somewhat conscious. If you did that, you're a sick, sick man.

I apologise for re-awakening this thread, but I have THE ANSWER.

The reviews said it sucked.

Everyone else told me it sucked.

I said, "I don't care, I enjoyed Warlords III so I'm sure I'll be fine..."


Elemental War of Magic sucks. The interface is terrible and it's extremely buggy. There is nothing really revolutionary or interesting about this game. Don't buy it. Play HOMAM instead.
