Elemental Forums
There are many posts on here, other than AI the game was perfect. Diversity in races and magic. Why not just "copy" it, like all FPSs copied from Doom. If you try to reinvent the wheel you can end up with an elipse and how good would that do on your car?

Why pay 50 for the same game with prettier graphics when you can get it for just 6.
I didn't/don't want the same game. What I wanted was a game built off the love and ideas of MoM. I feel that in time that is what Elemental will still be, and I am sure their will also be a Mod that will be as close as possible to being MoM.
If you want to play MoM they go buy it at GoG.com
Personally I like Elemental better than MoM...yeah that's right, no joke!
It's called progress. Where would we be if we just stopped at the invention of the wheel?
Really pimpin' Ferraris on wooden horse cart wheels. And just think of Formula 1 racing!
If you had asked me before I got my hands of Elemental if all I really wanted was MoM with better graphics, I would have said yes.
But now that I've been playing Elemental I realize that innovation is good, and while there are some things I'm immediately missing (e.g. having different numbers of spellbooks to give meaningful "color" - pun intended - to different wizards) I have to say I'm very impressed so far.
I understand why they did some things differently (dynasties, sprawling cities, designing units). But some parts came out very bland in comparison to MOM. They could've used MOM solutions in places they didn't have enough ideas and/or competence.
I'm not saying do a duplicate, but some systems could have been fine and they could have branched out from there
