...it begins...

We are so excited to finally be able to talk about the "fantasy strategy game".  Here are some answers for questions we suspect will come out.

Regarding the title...

We wanted to just call it Elemental but but trademark reasons we needed to come up with a sub-title. We wanted to give it a sub-title that was a bit corney to harken back to the classic 4X days when game names were a little more generic.

Screenshots...

The graphics seen in the screenshots are still very early on. The lighting and such aren't really in yet. The idea is to convey a general style and show a bit what the game would look like.

Persistent Multiplayer...

So one of the things we will be doing is hosting the multiplayer games ourselves. That is, when someone launches a game, it will all be supported by the Impulse Reactor back-end. Your game will effectively exist on the Impulse cloud so that you can access it anywhere anytime and make connecting with other players easy.

Modding...

The idea is to allow the game to expand itself through user created content (all optional). Our own content will be submitted in this way in order to make sure the system is very robust. 

More to come...

Any chance the tactical game will be something like the Total War series, or is it discrete turns displayed continuously (a la many of the D&D CRPGs out there)?

Well, we don't really know since the battle system doesn't seem to be finalised yet, but a premature guess would be the latter.

You probably want to contact  Gamespot  and tell them...  they currently list the game as Real-Time Strategy

It actually still says real-time strategy. I'm going to see if I can't grab one of the devs at the IRC later today, and get it sorted. I hadn't noticed myself, until I set foot in this thread.

Regarding the title, I would have used the sub in the plural sense. IE: Wars of Magic!
Aye.
