Agreed, Yskonyn.  I've been playing it again since yesterday, and I once more marvel at how enjoyable it is (especially compared to all the criticism leveled at the original Elemental game).  Yes, the series' visuals are certainly a case of YMMV, but I personally have no problem with them.

It's a standalone, however depending on when you bought WoM, you might be entitled to a free copy.

By the by, the 1.4 update has now been officially released. 


Quote
Features

Added the Fallen Enchantress scenario.

Added the Slam ability (monsters with this ability get a 25% to cause victims they attack to lose their next turn).

Tech updates now merge if the internal name matches (for modders).

Added the Summon Darkling spell

Added the Summon Spider spell

Added the Summon Harridan spell

Added the Summon Wilding spell

Added the Summon Shrill spell

Added the Summon Plaguestalker spell



Fixes

Fixed an issue that revealed the entire map for human players when the AI cast Ineluctable Vision.

Fixed bug where if main map objects were asked to be selected while the tactical window was up (could cause some odd behavior when exiting tactical battles).

Cities now make sure their hubs match the city's selected state, so that we don't have issues where a city appears to be selected but is not actually selected, and vice versa (usually manifested as difficulty selecting/deselecting a given city hub).

Fixed a bug where sometimes conquering an AI city wouldn't allow you to do certain production projects until you reloaded the game, due to the projects not always getting cancelled correctly.

Fixed some artifacting issues on forests (unfortunately this isn't as exciting as having magical artifacts in forests, the graphics guy tell me that artifacts are a bad thing).

Fixed an issue where Champion Shimsher could get Sweep twice.

Fixed lots of issues with placing rivers in the editor.

Fixed the Gust of Wind ability (not the spell), where it wouldnt knock units back if they resisted.

Fixed annoying issue where the hour glass cursor would show when looking at the tech tree.

Fixed common-ish crash bug due to multiple cities looking at the buildable improvements list at the same time.

Fixed a deadlock issue with regards to cities looking at resources (would appear to player as a lockup).

Fixed an issue where you could have a trait selected in the trait tree from a former champions selection.

Improved performance, especially on late game large maps.

Crash fixes.



Balance

Reduced the Fire Shill's Embers damage slightly.

Tectonic Bulwark can now only be be gotten from defeating Torax.

Crag Spawn hit points and defense from level increased, init was lowered slightly.

Champion Vasim's given a masterwork chain breatpiece (was incorrectly set before).

Champion Rostyra gains Lethal 2 (had Lethal 1 set twice before).

Champion Ulrik gains the Noble trait.

The Gray March (Trog Spearmen) don't start with Chain Mail Proficiency anymore.

Increased the time it takes to for darkling huts to upgrade

Darkling Shamans can summon Darkling Warriors into battle

Haunters can summon Plaguestalkers into battle

Hoarder Spiders can summon Gatherer Spiders into battle

Reduced the Init penalty on Mauls form -6 to -4.

You can now cast Burning Hands even if you have freindly units in the radius (they won't be effected).

Light Plate Armor now only requires Chain Mail Armor proficiency to wear.



AI

AI won't cast wither on armies without an attack (caravans) anymore.

Monsters are generally more aggressive in neutral and player territory

AI players more aggressive about going after monsters near their cities

AI much better about using magic in tactical battles

AI much better about using summons in tactical battles

Duuuuuuuuuude - I can't wait to play the patched version!  I love this game.  Guess we'd better get the game computer working again...

Now I just gotta figure out if I want to play as Gilden again, or a different faction this time.  (Yes, I know I can go with a custom channeler/faction, but I like to play around with the stock ones first.)  Decisions, decisions...

Wow, it is funny how this game suddenly caught fire.  I was part of the beta War of Magic fiasco - that game was a big disappointment as we all know.  Fallen Enchantress was a definite improvement, but in the final analysis it got little more than a "meh" from me.  I had pretty much given up on the franchise altogether.  The other day I installed Legendary Heroes in a fit of boredom (and to get some clues about GalCiv III  ;) ) but I never expected to play more than a few turns.  But wow, this game has finally arrived!  I just put 10 hours into my first campaign, and have now started a second campaign (because of the 1.4 patch). The game is really shining now!  All the mechanics are finally coming together in a coherent and entertaining fashion. 

I think one more expansion and this franchise might start catching up to the legend that is GalCiv 2. 

EDIT: My latest sov: 

"As I understand from your communication, Mr. Engle, you're on the brink of self-destruction. May I shake your hand? A brilliant idea! I speak as one who has destroyed himself a score of times.  I am, Mr. Engle, a veteran corpse. We are all corpses here! This rendezvous is one of the musical graveyards of the town. Caters to zombies hopping around with dead hearts and price tags for souls." - Angels Over Broadway

I got so much on my plate right now but I really have to give this game some more time again.  It really is a good game.

Ye gads, I played this for almost ten hours last night and this morning.  :o 

I think it's safe to say I'm hooked on this one...

Hey! New DLC released today. A whole new kingdom of the Undead. Raise skeleton armies that harvest bodies for food and such. Looks cool and I'm picking it up.

I would wait a bit.  I see a lot of bug reports on this DLC.  Seems a bit rushed.
