Reply to A game like this with Total War style combat. make it happen Stardock. in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

I dislike micromanaging combat units in real-time. It's not fun for me. I like WoM/FE/LH because of the turn-based combat. I am also fond of the art style for the Elemental games.

Reply to Map generation fun in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I gotta say I'm mixed. It can be fun to be the person in the disadvantaged position, or sometimes to get a slightly easy win by being in the advantage. I do admit, it would be nice if there was a option to make random maps "slightly" mirror if possible. Both sides can win? *shrug*

Reply to Fallen Enchantress 1.4 Changelog in FE Support Elemental Forums

It's fantastic to hear we'll be getting at least one more patch out of FE, even though I'm one of the War of Magic welfare recipients, I still play WoM and I'll probably keep playing FE for a while too before I touch LH.

Reply to Might & Magic X on the way in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Yeah, judging from the teaser and what they have said, I'm GLAD they are sticking to the 4 party, turn based system. If I want to play DA, I'll play DA. I want Might and Magic. More of the same. Just like I like my Dynasty Warriors to be more of the same, so I want out of M&M.

Reply to Heart of the Swarm comes out today!!!!!!!!!! in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

I don't know what's wrong with me. Bought CE edition Wings of Liberty. Mildly enjoyed it, but not enough to justify the large purchase. Bought CE Edition Diablo III. Fortunately my 2 roommates and another friend of ours bought it, we all went through the campaign together, so we had a blast for a good 2 weeks with it. That made it "worth it" sorta. Haven't touched it since. I'm hoping by the time the Expansion pack comes out, it'll be worth replaying.

Reply to Could someone please explain War of Magic/FE/LH to a newbie? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

War of Magic is the first in the "Elemental" games. Fallen Enchantress isn't a sequel so much as another game, set later in the same world, with "mostly" the same mechanics as the first game. (Yes, just about everyone will tell you Fallen Enchantress is "better" than War of Magic) Legendary Heroes is an expansion pack for Fallen Enchantress, that is really going to help retool it into even more of it's own game. It will only be free to those who

Reply to The Past, Present and Future of Elemental in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I am SO glad the tactical combat is getting a major overhaul. I know ages back I made a post about the combat should be more SRPG-like (Final Fantasy Tactics, less-RPG, and that looks to be the direction LH is taking, and I'm glad (although I'm sure nobody read that post, I don't delude myself, I just want it on the record as something I called out over a year ago :P) I honestly voted for an improvement on War of Magic. I'd love for the family system to be worked on

What am I doing wrong? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

So I've been following FE ever since it was announced. I'm in the Beta because I own Elemental (which I rarely ever played because I was going through a backlog of PS2 games at the time). I die. a lot. Even on Beginner. I try following what people keep saying on these forums (spamming pioneers is broken!). So I spam pioneers, and it doesn't seem to do me any good, and those colonies usually get snagged pretty fast by the enemy. I try spamming archers, I've read

Reply to Elemental–the two year anniversary nears in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I gotta say, although I love the new additions and features of FE, I do think WoM had it's charm and somewhere down the line, I would love a 1.5 patch, if FE does well enough to keep the series alive (which I hope it does!).

Reply to Warlock: MotA - Comments in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

I like Warlock because it's more of what I want in a TBS game with city conquering without all the micro-managing. I like TBS games. I love the feel of conquering enemy territory. Compared to games like Final Fantasy Tactics and other smaller-scale Strategy games, outside of the main story narrative, there isn't a lot to make me feel like I'm really conquering. When I have cities on a map, and I can look an

Reply to Comparing Fun Factor: FE Beta 3 vs. MoM in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

I'm enjoying FE more. 3. I still kinda wish WoM was getting support, at least 1 more patch, a last hurrah to make it more "complete", but I understand Stardock has to choose it's battles.

Reply to The state of Steam in 2012 in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I like steam, but mostly for games that involve either A) Made by Valve or B) Involve multiplayer that I want to be seamless (Shogun 2, etc). Also C) Indie games that that support Steam to such a degree they give their Steam copies DLC you can't get anywhere else, like Defense Grid. Lately, I've started buying single-player focused games off GOG.com if available. I do a lot of modding to Stalker, and it's wonky doing so with the way Windows 7 already does funny things

Reply to Fallen Enchantress 0.915 changelog in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I just wanted to chime in I'm glad you guys are going for the "give everyone something brokenly overpowered" approach. Guilty Gear, a fighting game series, follows this idea, and it is one of the most well balanced fighting games out there. It's easy to get "mathy" when you give one faction +10% gold and another +10% diplomacy and to figure out which one is better at the end of the day. Meanwhile, is not getting atta

THANK YOU! *ahem* For the love of all that is, I did not want to keep using the new Impulse after the Gamestop merger. I will gladly use the new SDC and thank you for making it!

Reply to So how is v1.4 coming along? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

If i had to choose between new features versus bug fixes, I vote for bug fixes as well. Modders can change the diffciulty and stuff like that, but often can't fix bugs. (for the record, I dislike advocating the Oblivion-style "let the modders fix it" mentality to developers, but in this case, I agree).

Reply to May we have refunds? in WOM Multiplayer Elemental Forums

Stardock has always had a refund policy, unlike 99% of other game publishers out there. However, you may have well passed the deadline. But as far as I'm concerned, the fact he does it at all is amazing.

Reply to Elemental: War of Magic 1.3 Changelog in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I did not intend for my post to be complaining, per se. I have lots of other games to play, and if I need to wait for 1.4, for a more stable and better game, then so be it. I have faith in Stardock. It's why I buy all of their games. I trust Brad Wardell.

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="2" id="2973994"]Not only is that changelog riddled with errors and not up-to-date, but the 1.3 patch was released in an absolutely horrid state with many of the new mechanics breaking the game. It is beyond me how you can release a wank patch like this. What is the point of beta if you do not pay attention and fix the problems we report? It's a damn shame.[/quote] Can anyone else confirm this? I reformatted my laptop recently

Reply to The games you find truly groundbreaking, original, awe-inspiring and memorable in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Chrono Trigger. I remember renting that game over and over, and despite playing through the first few hours of it over and over, never being tired of it. I was so happy when my parents finally bought it for me for Christmas, and I was able to beat it the whole way through. That game just captivated me, and still does. I replay it at least once a year.

WOM and FE will just have different features. So there will be (ideally) reasons to play either.
