Nice review though I'm not so sure that WOM was much of a "hit" for you guys..

He was probably referring to SoASE or GalCiv2.

His quote:

"Elemental was also the name of the world in Stardock’s 2010 hit War of Magic, however this has almost nothing to do with that game."

Pretty clear, give the date and the link to FE in his quote, that he was talking about WOM.  

Don't get me wrong.  I'm not crapping on the review.  It's a decent review (and any good buzz for FE is good in my book).  I just thought it was worth mentioning.  Might be the only time anyone ever called WOM a hit.  

It hit Stardock and its customers in the stomach.

This couldn't be more true... 

It's good they didn't make the same mistake (in my book).

I read the review and I missed that reference.  you probably should have quoted that bit in your comment.  otherwise it sounds like you're referring to the bit quoted by the OP.  It is weird that he would call that WoM a "hit".

Hence my mentioning of it.  

i for one am quite willing to forget wom... we have fe now

good review

How do you guys at Stardock find these obscure review websites?

players postt hose, but I think big named sites don't have attention spans to check such a game..

maybe users could ask them to , though?

Bizarre. It is as if that review were written by at least two completely different people who failed to communicate with one another. The introduction is exceptionally well written, and then in the review area itself, the second paragraph reads as if my 11-year-old had written it:

The two mistakes in the second sentence made me shudder.

I stopped reading after the mention of Stardock's smash "hit" of 2010.

Reviewers are not who you want to ask about a game before you buy anyway.  Just check the Support section of the forums and look at all the reported bugs.  That's all you should concern yourself with when buying a game these days, because whatever problems do exist you're going to have to live with them until they are fixed.  The sooner that reviewers start to pick up on this, the sooner it will become a priority for developers to ship a higher-quality product at release.

Of course you know that some reviewers are horribly biased or incompetent anyway and that won't change.

But also some support issues are hardware or driver issues -- i do not get a lot of them.

It's still useful as a gauge of how likely you are to have problems.
