patching question

Hello, I played this game a bit when it first came out in 2010.. but it seemed entirely incomplete.. and buggy..

My question is to anyone with alot of experience with this game.. has it been updated alot? was it fixed? is this a great game now like the old Master of magic I used to love? anyways any extra info would help me decide to buy this game.

Well, I would suggest you wait for Fallen Enchantress, the second Elemental game, to either be released or available in beta for new pre-orders of FE. See this thread:

Do I get Elemental War of Magic? or wait for Fallen Enchantress?

I must say that the single-player is playable. It was even enjoyable to a degree. The bugs weren't totaly gamebreaking in it. It's just that it felt half-finished. The AI isn't to bad as long as you don't play tactical battles but the non-tactical ones are to random to play to be sure.

I'd say it's worth one complete big scenario playthrough.

We did try multiplayer to and...well.. Don't try it.

It never became a good game. But with a ton of hard work from Stardock, it did rise from bad to mediocre.

Go for FE for the best experiance. Don't let WoM get you down. It's nice, but I would say: the first impression is important, so go for the best!
