GamesBeat Article on Recent Stardock History and What's Ahead

GamesBeat visited Stardock not too long ago, and their excellent article on the recent history of Stardock along with a glimpse of what's ahead is up now.

"Stardock Entertainment is girding itself for battle with the genre that nearly destroyed the company: fantasy strategy.

The developer’s first attempt was Elemental, starting in 2010 after seven years of success with the Galactic Civilizations 4X (“eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate”) space strategy series.

Rushed and buggy, Elemental: War of Magic was a flop that led to the company’s utter metamorphosis. Stardock went from a PC business-software company that happened to do games to a game house with a division that does PC software.

The fact that it seems to have repulsors and weapons on top suggests this is a ground vehicle. That in turn means that the game from which it came is likely a ground-based RTS.
