Poll: Elemental: War of Magic to be released around Setember 2010

I'm wondering how many Escapist members plan on getting Elemental when it is released. I personally can't wait for this game.
It has stylish graphics, great concept of building a magical empire as a near god-like channelers , family dynasties, huge armies. Plus it's shipping with complete modding tools, so I'm sure it will have a good modding community.

I have never heard of this game, nor have you convinced me to move mouse pointer to the top right of my screen and search google for it.

no offense

edit: god I sound like an ass. ok Ill look it up!

second edit: its for the computer so I really have no reason to buy it, though it does sound interesting.

Don't worry you don't sound like an ass. Stardock forums were saying that publicity for Elemental was nil except for a small group. I'm not trying to convince anyone just wondering how correct Stardock forums were. Tyvm for your input though

well whats the biggest selling point for you? why are you so interested in the game?

To list the features I like. The game plays like Total War with turn-based empire building and real time battle. The channeler can use his magic to enrich his kingdom or become magically combat oriented (think Sauron from LotR) there is a rpg element in the ability to strengthen the lord, champions(the children and grand children of the lord created using a genetic algorithm), and soldiers. It focuses on detail customization by letting you customize your lords, and there are no natural units, you make your own soldiers by selecting armor, weapons, and training period. includes mod tools and a metaverse server to store player created mods.

Plus Stardock is working on really good multiplayer modes from skirmish to a persistent world.
