I love Stardock, they are what other developers should strive to emulate.

They release good products, and if a product doesnt measure up they dont blame critics, or consumers, they admit that it wasnt up to par and work to do better by the people who bought their game.

They also refuse to give up on any of their products.
No matter how dumb, and even when it's no longer their product.
I'm still wondering why I have to sign in with Stardock to play Galactic Civilization 2

I love Stardock too and speaking of Galactic Civilization 2, when are they gonna make another one damn it; I love that game.

Looking forward to the expansion. I hope they get Paxton to do some of the writing, because a lot of the lore in Fall from Heaven was really good, and considerably more interesting than the Fallen Enchantress lore. Plus, if he can make the factions in FE even close to as unique as the factions in Fall from Heaven were, that'll be a major improvement. After that, all that's needed is some serious AI improvements!

I enjoy both games greatly, but I wouldnt exactly go into it as a strategy game, but an RPG strategy hybrid which to my experiences is fairly unique and fun!

I see, thanks for the answer.

I've wanted to play this game for a little while now, but I was put off by a friend's experience as an Elemental WoM pre-orderer...

^ On account of this, and bearing in mind that I enjoyed the latest Heroes of Might and Magic, I'll probably grab it later this week.

I hated War of Magic. Most people dislike it as well. Fallen Enchatntress is a solid game, good but not great with a lot of potential. If I were you, I'd wait to get Legendary Heroes. You get FE as the base game and won't have to buy both FE and Legendary Heroes as full priced games.

They are in gathering all their products, that way if you lose access to a steam account or impulse or what not you can still get access to your products from them I think.

It's not their product.
