Blech. The design is heading too much in the direction of Blizzard with its latest childish Warcraft look. Where is the dark, gruesome aesthetic of Starbreeze Studios? That's what a game called "Etherlords" should have - not this toy doll look.

Hey I beta tested Etherlords one and that was a great and unique game. It sounds like the game makers have been listening to the players ideas and will make Etherlods 2 a great sucess.

If the characters look cool and i can import my own characters after making them then i buy it. Otherwise i scratch the disk ,cut it up. Then i spill lots of gasoline on it. then i put in in fire pit and burn that bloody disk. after that i take the box and burn it. Then i take the ashes put them in a envelope and mail it back to them. enclosing a letter saying "IM DONE PLAYING THIS GAME IT SUCKED YOU CAN HAVE IT BACK".

I sounds a little bit more like Magic the Gathering, but I think i am not the first realizing. Etherlords 2 is developing even more into that direction as it seems, hopefully the Etherpool and Ethergaining system stays as it is, its the major improvement of Etherlords

@ flush it ! plz wait till u are at least in the tens before posting comments. The game stands and falls with being balanced or not. Putting much effort in a more detailed strategic map is a waste in my opinion. People will try the zoom once or twice in the beginning and thats it. A waste of precious developer time.

I have played Etherlords I and it was great. Being a big fan of trading card games, I even appreciate more the ideas in Etherlords II. Looking forward to getting it soon!

Well, I played first one (original Russian version - which is called Demiurges in Russia) - I liked it a lot except for rather simplified combat system (comparative to MTG - no interrupts, for e.g., and too few spells) and strange one turn - one action system of movement. I am happy that they "fixed" that issues somewhat and that balace shifed toward RPG - I like RPGs the most. Only thing I didnot like that they removed global spell system which I really liked... However, it's not very major feature, and I'll be happy when the game will come and buy it at once :)

It takes a great deal of effort to balance the spells in a game like this. With balance a priority, more spells is better. No. 2 sounds like an improvement on an already innovative and fun game. However bugs,glitches,conflicts are a sign of poor programming. Gamers the world over are screaming out for games that dont need patches or bug fixes[too bad if you dont have internet connection]. Maybe we need a programming revolution!

Etherlords 3 ... hmmm is there a Etherlords 3 in the works ? There are some improvements that I'd like to see, all of which have already been posted numberous times on other sites.
