Thorondor Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Elemental: Fallen EnchantressWe report a sighting of Elemental: Fallen Enchantress. Stardock's dark fantasy turn-based strategy game continues to evolve and is nicely on its way to be unleashed upon the world.https://www.strategycore.co.uk/site/assets/files/5120/news-thumbnail_fallen_enchantress_scr01.jpg https://www.strategycore.co.uk/site/assets/files/5120/news-thumbnail_fallen_enchantress_scr02.jpg https://www.strategycore.co.uk/site/assets/files/5120/news-thumbnail_fallen_enchantress_scr03.jpg CEO Mr. Brad Wardell himself surfaces to provide us with a progress report where, among other things, he states Beta 4 is definitely on the horizon and the novelties it shall bring. Fallen Enchantress Beta 4 is around improving the UI and making your cities more interesting and special. We've also continued to enhance the elements found previously such as the graphics, animation, balance, AI, stability, performance, etc. (...) Beta 4 introduces a 3 core resource. Previously, there were two: Grain and Materials. Grain could be converted into food or other things that might build up your economy. Materials could be converted into production or other things that increase how fast you can build things. Beta 4 brings back the concept of Essence. When the Cataclysm nearly wiped out the world, the powerful magic users known as the Titans, were consumed and their essence spread about the world. Essence can be used by Sorcerers (which you are one in the game) to cast powerful spells, enhance cities, and build incredibly powerful improvements that can turn the tide in a war. We don't anticipate Beta 4 coming out until August 16th. Sorry for the wait on this but there's a lot of polish, testing, balancing, and UI to get in there. And there will be a Beta 5 after Beta 4 at which point we'll start thinking about a release date. We're in no hurry. The objective here is to create the best fantasy strategy game we can possibly make. That certainly seems like the right mindset to us, so check out what else is conveyed about this upcoming title here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owen magnetic Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 I've been playing the beta on and off for a few months. I have access because I was one of the suckers who pre-ordered Elemental. There's a fun Civ clone in there somewhere, but it's not evident yet. I'm glad they're taking their time with Beta 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owen magnetic Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Aaaaaaand, initial thoughts? I've always had big hopes for this game, I'd really like to know. It's not bad - it's just a little bland. The game feels under-developed - which is fair enough, given that it's a beta. If you can get it at a knockdown price, it's worth going for. But it's not value for money compared to say, Civ IV with the Fall from Heaven II mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Voyager Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 i went to my mother's-in-law computer to see this vid (and those of Carried Command), but the poor comp doesn't even have a Flash Player installed. Nor would it be a good thing if I installed it. I'm in the wild, people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
