No multiplayer, no map editor. It's a single-player game with fixed maps/quests which are randomly populated with opponents and treasure - rather like a real-time version of Heroes of Might and Magic where you only control one character. The main attractions are building up your character (and his army) and exploration/quest solving.

Size-wise the maps are medium-size but packed with detail, making them seem larger.

Max: How were you burned by Stardock? They seem to be very upright and open-eared (for a successful software company).

Which is not to say I also have my doubts about E:WoM, simply because there were many suboptimal elements of GC2 that turned me off fairly quickly, and because E:WoM also seems to want to incorporate some of these. Also, what appears to be a new focus on family dynasties doesn't tickle my fancy (I don't want to micromanage weddings throughout a 4X game). I just don't want it to have the elements of CivIV and GC2 I don't like. Otherwise, it looks VERY promising!

That doesn't answer the question, he was talking about the hand drawn style maps I would guess.

The bolded words make the use of past tense ("chose") in this post pretty funny. :)

No multiplayer? Then why does this topic(http://forums.elementalgame.com/362366) exist? And it WILL have a map editor. Misinformed mucho?:confused:

I think half the people on this thread are talking about Elemental, and the other half talking about King's Bounty. Since it appears most of the posts referring to the (lack of) multi-player and map-editing features are in relation to King's Bounty.

I was under a different impression.

Astral Wanderer was responding to my comment on Kings Bounty... based on his response I actually won't be buying Kings Bounty.

I've been following Elemental "very closely" and I know it will have multiplayer, a random map generator and a map editor. :)
