Elemental: War of Magic - Interview @ RPS

RPS interview Stardock CEO Brad Wardell revealing some lengthy campaign times, and customisation options for Elemental.

Stardock’s forthcoming strategy game, Elemental, is looking rather interesting. It kicks off with the player mooching about, alone in the world, and ends up with you directing a colossal dynastic 4X empire-building game with user-generated content and a hefty multiplayer offering. Last week we talked to Stardock CEO Brad Wardell to get a bit more information about the user-generated content, multiplayer sessions lasting six months, and the world-building collaboration with publisher, Random House.

More information.

Nothing new about the game, but the info about the book and publisher was pretty interesting.

I remember a few usenet debates with Brad, where I was trying to convince him that multiplayer wouldn't be a wasted feature.

Seems he finally agrees

Seriously excited about this game, looking forward to it more than even alpha protocol or age of decadence even.
