Awesome game, but... no Hall of Fame?

from Elemental Forums

As a Master of Magic fan back in the day (well, and still now), I was waiting for years for a comparable game to come out. When Elemental:War of Magic came out, however, I gave it a pass after seeing the reviews... I knew if the game was mediocre, it would make me feel bad, especially comparing it to MoM. High expectations and long wait + not too good game = frustration, so I didn't risk it.

Some years and updates passed and I finally decided to buy Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes. And I must say it's GREAT! It's a fun, complex, addicting game that stands its own against MoM (which is saying a lot). In some ways it falls short compared to MoM (the different races, having two worlds, naval combat) but in other ways it's much better, I especially love the possibility of unit customization and the fine-tuning, even of superficial features like hair, unit background, etc. I have spent a good amount of time in my game making my armies custom. Also the tech trees are a great feature, and the variety of items and their handling is superb.

However there is a feature that I just can't understand why it's not in the game, especially after several updates... I mean... no Hall of Fame? Really? Why, but WHY?

I know it's a bit silly but the hall of fame/high scores is an absolutely key feature to keep me playing 4X games again and again. Maybe it's childish but I have a competitive mindset (especially against myself) and I always want to beat my own performances. Right now I'm keeping a Hall of Fame on paper, but I would like to suggest that one is implemented - it seems like the simplest of features to implement (especially given that the scoring mechanic is already there) and it would help replayability a lot for people like me. I mean, I would buy a DLC only and exclusively to get a hall of fame. Or is there some mod that does this already?

Yea, a long time ago, a hall of fame was suggested LH, but for some reason SD didn't want to do it.

So, unless it's put it on the list for 2.0, it will probably never be implemented.

Actually, I would like this implemented as well. Currently I get around this by taking a screen shot of the score screen. While I don't play many games all the way through I do have the scores from the ones I completed.

I also would very much like to have a Hall of Fame.

from what I remember, there was even a suggestion for WOM in the beta for a 'hall of fame', BUT nothing came of it.

I am hoping we can put a Hall of Fame into v2.0.  2.0 is fairly far off though due to E2015.  Might do a 1.8 in the meantime.

Anyways, I've very excited to hear about this.

Looking forward to improved diplomacy and 2.0 whenever it happens.

Thanks for listening, I'm really glad to hear that! I don't mind waiting for a while, I'm sure I'll keep playing this game for a long time, especially with the Hall of Fame.

and I might re-start playing elementals AFTER they get a hall of fame (that from memory was requested back in beta for E:wom)
