Good work Geekypoos. Get Star Ruler 2 too. :)

Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder. I don't own this one but have an interest in it so I've watched the video review by 'Out of 8" and thought the map was, at best, unappealing. Everything seemed scrunched up and close together with little sense of distance between things. But I enjoy this type of game and may end up with it regardless!

I've never changed impressions of a developer so quickly. First I was disgusted with Elemental because, for various reasons, I'd spent close to £100 on it. It's not that it was fundamentally broken as many claim...it just wasn't really a game. It was as if they'd laid the foundation for a game but forgot to include actual gameplay mechanics. It was painful to see.

But then they went to great lengths to bring people back in, as you say Greybriar, and they made good on almost all their promises (I never did see a 64-bit executable). And now look at it. The latest iteration, FE:LH, is greatly respected by lots of people and is a bloody good game. Incredible really, and testament to Stardock's fortitude. I've seen devs completely implode under that kind of pressure in the past.

Sorry - a bit off topic...

Whilst I like FE:LH, still think they can take it much further by providing a far better naval element. The sea takes up a good part of the map, yet it is hard to use it. I think a dlc covering the marine element would be a really great improvement to the game.

For those with the concern, v1.0.15 was just rolled out and includes a greater zoom out. I'll test it now and report back later.

doomtrader · April 13, 2015, 04:24:39 PM

Don't forget the autoscouting feature

Huw the Poo · April 13, 2015, 04:39:34 PM

Thanks Doomtrader!

Here is minimum zoom as of the latest update. :)

I am really looking forward to this...and to my physical copy...any ETA? Cheers

doomtrader · April 13, 2015, 04:45:43 PM

Physical copies are going to be send on May

Huw the Poo · April 13, 2015, 04:47:57 PM

Doomtrader I simply cannot find the crash log on my Linux system. Where is it? I need to report a reproducible crash.

Also, I don't suppose there's any chance of upgrading a digital copy to a physical?

OK...thanks O0

As much as I like the idea of this game, I simply cannot in good conscience recommend it in its current form. It's pretty buggy and crashes all the time, and there are numerous other problems reported in the Steam forum.

I hope Wasteland sort it out, because when it's as polished as it deserves to be I think I'm going to love it. For now, I think I'm shelving it.

doomtrader · April 25, 2015, 05:49:26 AM

we have got just 11 crash reports last week, so if the game crashes for you constantly just send the report to us

I'd love to. Where is the crash dump on a Linux system? I've looked in '~/Wasteland Interactive' and ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/WorldsOfMagic/ and I cannot find it.

...a couple of free DLCs (Sorcerer Lords Pack and Titans Pack ) [almost] released for World of Magic. ...seems there may be some Steam issues getting these out.
