oh crap.
no more fall from heaven but a hopeless effort to improve elemental.
leave it to stardock to destroy the 4x genre bit by bit.

Kael being brought on sells the game for me. I loved Fall From Heaven and cannot wait to see how he does with this beast. Hope the game can be salvaged and turned around.

And if you read this, grats Kael on hooking up with Stardock.

I have a huge amount of respect for Kael and am very grateful towards him for making FFH, but i don't think his skills are what Elemental needs at the moment. FFH has massive balance issues and a poor AI, which also appear to be major problems in Elemental.

We'll see. The AI is Brad's playground anyway, I don't think they are going to hire an extra AI programmer. I think they want him for his experience in designing and balancing complex unit abilities and spells for a strategy game in a fantastic setting.

It's a bit odd though that they laid off an entire team previously and now hire someone new. Would probably hurt quite a bit if I were among those laid off.

I think the only problem with FFH2 was it was overdeveloped making it excessively complicated, but I think Kael will make something good out of Elemental.

Elemental will be good. I have faith.
