I was all set to buy Elemental: War of Magic long before it was released. But I got busy. WoM, however, is even after all the patches still not that fun.

PLYMOUTH, MICHIGAN - May 3, 2011 - Stardock released the anticipated 1.2 update to its fantasy strategy title, Elemental: War of Magic today. Fans are now able to download it at the game's web site,.Elemental: War of Magic is a PC strategy game set in a fantasy world that puts the player in command of a growing Kingdom or Empire bent on expanding their influence across the world. Players build cities, raise armies, research technologies, go on quests, recruit heroes, negotiate treaties, learn spells and much more in this epic strategy game.The following changes were made in Elemental: War of Magic patch 1.2.

Stardock is excited to announced the v1.4 update for Elemental: War of Magic! Firstly, I have to say that it's a very long time since WoM kept me up untul 4.30 am. And secondly what a commendable job has been done, to bring the game almost up to speed. Many things have been fixed and tweaked, and more than being playable, it's fun!

And not a single crash, touch wood. Some great work on the AI, I have to say - both strategic and tactical. At last, the AI has cottoned on to actually casting spells, yayy!! And cities are no longer defended by just one peasant and his dog.

The game that I'm playing now is a real challenge.Still two glaring errors: Goodie huts that have no goodies inside them, that just sit there sparkling. And the biggest one of all - InitiativeIf only the FE Initiative system could be ported to WoM, it would improve the gameplay no end. As we all know, it is simple to just wait for the enemy to walk into a fist (or a battleaxe), so the AI is at a crippling disadvantage.It's not a game-breaker, and I'm sure that something could be done to correct this. I just have to say that the balance in 1.40 is sooo much better than previous versions. At one point, I actually felt that I was playing a deluxe version of MoM, which is high praise indeed.Keep going, keep shining it and it still could be a classic! Haven't played EWOM for a long, long time, but reinstalled it about 3 days ago while sick from work.

1.3 was a nice improvement, but 1.4 is really starting to show signs of being a great game. I don't know if it is there yet, but what's left is just a bit of polish, not the dramatic changes that it needed when it shipped.I really, really appreciate that Stardock has kept with this title and persisted in making this a much better game. I don't buy that many games at this point in my life, but I got excited about this title/concept and shelled out the cash. In the beginning I was pretty disappointed, but the game at 1.4 is quite good, and I enjoyed playing it last night (and even a bit this morning).Stardock, Thank you for your good work on this game!

OK, great update, but a few problems still. Here are some that I noticed after playing a bit last night:1) Beacon of hope description says it provides +1 presteige, but it actually produces +10! The result was a population explosion. The Palace suffers from this as well.2) After a group of 4 peasents leveled up from lvl 1 to lvl 2, thier Max HP got buffed, but thier current HP remained the same. The result was that suddenly the stack of 4 was now a stack of 2 in the next battleThats all so far.

I am willing to try 1.4. I am encouraged by the fact that the developers continued to invest in this game, given the negativity surrounding it (much of which I must say was deserved). I pre-purchased this game, hoping to fund the development of a spiritual successor to Master of Magic. Honestly, I don't think this game compares to Master of Magic, but I was heartened by the inclusion of Kael on the development team (his FFH & FFH2 mod for Civ IV was the best thing to happen to that series). That showed a sense of commitment and an astute choice based upon the gaming populace. I certainly hope, after more than a year since I purchased it, I will be able to finally enjoy the experience. I pre-purchased this game, hoping to fund the development of a spiritual successor to Master of Magic.This was my motivation exactly.

Master of Magic has held a place on my hard drive almost continuously since I discovered it in my adolescence and WoM looked like the closest thing I've seen to its spiritual successor when I pre-ordered it. With all the work Stardock has put into it since 1.0, WoM really has become the game that comes closest to giving me the strategic fantasy kingdom-building fix that I get from MoM.I think the only thing that keeps it from reaching, or surpassing, my love of MoM are the spells and maybe the magic system in general. I enjoyed the sense of truly epic power I got towards the end of a game of MoM as I was casting Flame Strikes and summoning Torin the Chosen; Elemental just doesn't tickle my dopamine receptors with quite the same sense of magical omnipotence that keeps me coming back to MoM a few times every year. Even this isn't really a flaw, though, just a difference in design that I happen to find moderately less appealing. Anyone working on a mod for the domineering magical overlord lurking within me?

Okay, this update has totally screwed up my game.1. Some buildings no longer build and are 'stuck' in the building tab, not being built2. My unit costs are now all messed up, and some units are only allowed to train on experianced not normal (or stuck on group setting)3. All units minus Peasant, Pioneer, and Caravan WILL NOT train at all (and the costs and such are STILL WRONG)4. I have NO custom mods spells, builds, or anything else, yet it still says it is 'Loading Mods' or something of the sort5. Sometimes my units AND cities DO NOT gain experience OR level up in any way.So might I ask WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON???? Is there a way to fix this??????

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME(EDIT) I would appreciate it if SOMEONE would either PM me, Reply to this in this forum, or E MAIL me their ideas or SOMETHING (nikko91206@yahoo.com). And now, finally, I am tempted to purchase the game. How long has it been in process, over a year now? I drooled over the teasers, got excited about the descriptions and FAQ, hoped it was the game I always wanted to play. But I waited for a few reviews and some user feedback. I'm glad I did. But based on this new release, I think it's time to buy!At this point it makes a lot more sense to wait for the expansion (Fallen Enchantress), because that will cost you similar amounts of money but comes with far more dramatic changes.

From what I've read, Fallen Enchantress is designed as a completely different game. Same world, different style.

I went ahead and purchased the game last night, fired up the first game this morning, and promptly died by a Bear. I decided 'Hey, maybe I should RTFM!' So I sat down to read the handy PDF manual. And it only matches up about 50% with what I saw in the game. That's disappointing. To be fair, I'd rather the devs spent more time on game balance and fun than on documentation, but still, I like to know the rules of the game and the manual seems at least 2 version out of date.

Some abilities have bee nerfed (Daring is 3%, not 5% in the manual), some have apparently been changed completely, some have been added (Attunement, for example); some kingdoms have no disadvantages (unlike the manual says), some heroes have big disads (unlike the manual says), etc.I'm gonna play it tonight (wife-free evening!) and see if I keep it or put it away.
