Go go GOG.com (stands for Good Old Games I think) and get the old MOM (Masters of Magic). Elemental is the spiritual successor. Or if you pre-ordered here just play the beta version.

Cry Bro.  I feel your pain, too. 

Playing Kings Bounty Armored Princess between my Sins sessions. Keeping me pretty busy. But thanks for the suggestion.

Exercise? Pffttt, now you are just making up words...

Avernum 6 and the Lord of the Rings Online new content Beta.

I'm thinking of pre-ordering this game.  The into reminded me of an old game called Lords of Magic, which could have been a truly great game but wasn't.  The game also reminds me of Heroes of Might and Magic, a very good game (and series).

At any rate, because Stardock is making it, it should be an excellent game!  Is there anyone here, who has played in the beta, that would like to comment on how it plays?

I got a update on facebook that says:

"Elemental: War of Magic Now, one thing I think I can say (and I’m not promising this because all things are ultimately decided by the IT gods) but it is our plan to make the “gold” version of the game available a bit early to those in the beta and those who pre-order will also likely get it a bit early. We hope to start pre-loading Elemental onto machines early to mid next week to reduce strain."

So if we are lucky, the wait will be over soon.

I hope they don't do that. Beta players already have an advantage over others (thinking of online play), and if they are to get the full version earlier would seem a bit much.

Ah well, I don't play online anyways, just thinking of them that do.

Yeah, if we were talking about people buying the game via the digital, but we are talking about people that where in the beta.....

Eh, that's not what was mentioned. The people from the BETA might get it earlier....not people buying the digital version.
