Are there any plans on reworking the graphics? One of the reasons why the original Elemental: War of Magic wasn't as popular was due to the graphics style. It would be nice to improve the graphics close to at lease civ V or warlock: master of the arcane level.
I understand much time has been invested into this project as is and the chance of a graphics change would be highly improbable however the need for the change is there. When I first saw the the screens shots of the original title, I was not impressed and only bought it due to it being a stardock title and hoping for the best.
Times has change. While graphics does not determine how good a game is, it does help in the presentation and lead to more sales. Sales is what ultimately helps a company to be profitable, stick around, hire more people and to make more games. I hope Stardock understands this and tries to give this game a much needed facelift so that more copies will be sold. Investing time in game balancing and bug fixes is great, however if the game doesn't look attractive to the buyer, it will have a hard time selling and all the investment put into the game to make it right will go down the drain.
As it stands right now, this game is currently targeted to a small niche market and this audience will not be enough to make it profitable for ongoing series. By reaching out to a broader audience, sales will increase and help this title gain the attention it deserves.
