Joystiq was given a look at a preview of Elemental: War of Magic, and has published their preview of the game.

“Stardock's Elemental: War of Magic is already extraordinary, smashing genres together that may have been too big on their own in the first place. At its heart, it's a 4X game in the style of Civ or Galactic Civilizations, but it's also a fantasy RPG with a deep and long story, and a tactical battle game. It has a huge singleplayer campaign, a sandbox mode that creates gigantic maps at random, and even a multiplayer mode. It's vast and confusing and intricate, and while there are certain gamers who just won't vibe with all of the numbers and how open the gameplay is, there are others, probably old-school strategy types, who will love it for everything it is.”

check out the full preview at Joystiq.

Good preview that cheers one's heart up, and underline how the success of the Stardock team is nothing but the expression of the grand inspiration of its Great Leader.

That is perhaps one of the better previews I have read so far.  Joystiq deserves a lot of kudos for this one.

Yup, though did anyone else notice this:

"The story revolves around the Forge of the Overlord, an item built to warp reality and create magical items, so powerful that just the creation of it attracted a race of superbeings called the Titans to Earth."
