Brad Wardell has some stuff and he wants to <a href="http://www.pcgamer.com/2010/07/01/elemental-war-of-magic-will-have-the-best-drm/" target="_blank">give it to you</a>.<blockquote>Brad Wardell, CEO of Stardock, recently told PC Gamer what sort of DRM he has planned for his upcoming turn based strategy-cum-RPG Elemental: War of Magic. His plan is simple: “What I think would be helpful against piracy is if you actually gave users stuff.” The limited edition boxed set of the game will be full of undownloadable trinkets.
It’ll contain a map, pewter dragon, a poster, and the Hiergemenon – the game’s encyclopedia, in book form. Brad calls it “Half D&D monster manual and half lore book.” It’s got maps and artwork, race profiles, short stories, and a detailed breakdown of the game’s universe.
</blockquote>Sounds completely gay. I'll probably buy it.
Speaking of Mr. Wardell and his stuff, he has a <a href="http://frogboy.joeuser.com/article/385885/Elemental_Beta_3_Walkthru" target="_blank">walkthrough</a> of what to expect in Beta 3.
<blockquote>Elemental comes with two ideologies. Kingdom and Empire. These determine the 5 categories available to that race. The reason we separated this is for future replayability. We would like to make it so that your custom race has a DIFFERENT technology based on their ideology. That is, you end up with two potentially different technology trees for each race which in the long-run could result in a lot of great combinations.</blockquote>
