Fallen Enchantress was built on top of the unsuccessful Elemental: War of Magic<\/a>\u00a0title, released by Stardock on Aug, 2010. Surely not pleased<\/a> with the turn of events, the Galactic Civilizations creator and Stardock’s CEO Brad Wardell hired Jon Shafer<\/a> (Civilization V lead designer) to team up with\u00a0Derek Paxton<\/a> (lead designer of the popular mods\u00a0Fall from Heaven\u00a0for\u00a0Civilization 4) in order to revamp the title. Fallen Enchantress is the result of such process.<\/p>\n

Fallen Enchantress allows you to choose a sovereign and found an empire on randomly generated maps with 10 unique factions. You will train armies and fight tactical battles, use spells and embark in quests in a story-driven campaign or on an open sand-box gameplay. The game also includes substantial modding support.<\/p>\n

In the meantime that Keith is working on the review let me recommend you his fine\u00a0Fallen Enchantress hands-on beta preview<\/a>, to get you warmed up :)<\/p>\n
