He visited me twice last game.

mine too.

This, combined with being able to design our own units is my favourite thing about Elemental. I personally do not think that people appreciate exactly how demanding this feature was to implement. Normal strategy games just have pre-made models with no customization at all - this feature is really only found in RPGs. In fact I can't think of a single other strategy game that featured heroes and units that were customizable to such a degree (speaking about graphics here, not gameplay or mechanics). Even DOTA-style games do not feature anything like this.

Edit: I recall one old 3d rts game where you designed your own military tanks from an assortment of parts. Can't remember the name though, but they had customization of graphics dependent on that.

Edit2: Oh yeah, there was that 3d rts scifi game where you played like normal but on 3 planes/maps and you had mecha units that could be customized slightly. A part of that game was collecting and re-using parts for those mechas. I think they changed graphically as well.

METAL FATIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGUE !!!!!

loved that game.

Yep, that feature is amazing, but it is not enough used in Fallen Enchantress. I think the items in the magic tree should be random: low level magic items at the beginning and high level magic items at the end.

To go one step further: The spells of the magic tree should be included in the spellbooks (air, earth, fire, water, life and death) and the magic tree should have random spells: low level spells of randomly determined spellbooks at the beginning and high level spells of randomly determined spellbooks at the end.

To go another step further: The weapons of the warfare tree should be included in nine categories: simple blunt, simple cutting, simple piercing, normal blunt, normal cutting, normal piercing, masterwork blunt, masterwork cutting and masterwork piercing and the weapons in each catergory should be random.

I can think of at least one........Galciv 2.  The customize ship utility for designing your own ships was awsome.

I must be the only one with bad experiences from gal civ

The unit designer I liked had choices of making support units for your armies, or just straight up power-houses dealing tons of damage, or other more tanky-based units to soak up tons of damage.
Ofcourse the gameplay wouldn't let you use all your devious tactics to full, but oh well, the unit designer's round in different games sometimes really show good promise.

Where are you Mimbly?  We haz cookiez!  Come on outs! 

we'll have many dances. 

Just got the revelry deal myself. Cool stuff. Although I don't think the finish current tech mechanic is working. Will make a bug post.

I'd love to see some randomness in the items myself.

You can have a burning axe and a banishing staff, why not a banishing axe or a burning staff?

If you're really lucky , you can find a banishing burning sharp axe of +2

Getting the proper enchantments should require training blacksmiths, and should have a chance of failure if you try multiple enchants on a weapon.
