Status: offline 		in depth sport management games with less emphasis on graphics and more emphasis on simulating the economic and strategic aspects. An F1 management game, or a football management one (the one actually played with 'foot' ) can work well. I think it is a good idea to diversify the focus by publishing non-war-themed strategy games while maintaining the Matrix style, i.e. less graphics more simulation...

That is the type game I'm talking about and take it a step further with a WCS style strategic/battles layers that would be outstanding.

I would settle for that too, but I really do not want the eye candy of Fantasy Wars or even Age of Wonders....I would like to see a fantasy game designed along the lines of a traditional wargame, hexes nato type units, etc. There is potential for a nice strategic wargame derived from the Wheel of Time books which could have traditional elements.

Not exactly what you describe, but have you looked into King Arthur: the roleplaying wargame? Looks very interesting from comments I have read.

I third Battlefields/Combined Arms :)

Or even better yet a strategic level WW2 game based upon the Panther engine.

Really though what is missing? A strategic contemporary game, one that has the map of the world, pitting different regions of influence against each other, economically, diplomatically and militarily. Sort of like Supreme Ruler, but different, simplier, like the SC series. Give us the WiF in today's mode, but simplier, so it only takes one turn for PBEM, not all those phases.

I want "Search for Red October" and "Red Storm Rising" combined....weren't those TSR releases?

Give me an empire building game based on today's war machine dynamics but keep the complications down, so the UI is intuitive and that incompetent AI can be a bit of a challenge for the first game or two and then turn me loose on you hapless humans.

I want to be "Emperor of the World"

Although to be fair, I wouldn't particularly care if it were set in the "Tolkien-verse". Any fantasy setting would do, I think.

Of course, given what I've seen regarding Elemental: War of Magic, that game may very well end up fulfilling most of my wishes....

Thanks for the link as I'll keep an eye on that...I was reading the forum and there is a good post regarding the type of play the game will have. Apparantly it will be "continuous time " play

You're welcome. Yes, the strategic portion of the game will take place with simultaneous turns, and the battles have been referred to as "continuous turn-based". I'm not sure exactly what the latter means, although I have a vague idea that it may be like the combat in Birth of the Federation.

I don't believe the game is actually hex-based (although I suppose it could be under the hood). Still, I've been wanting a 4x fantasy strategy game for a long time now, and Elemental looks like it will deliver.

Now we just have to wait the 6-9 months before it's released!

I would certainly be interersted in an American Football Mngt. game, too. I think it's the best game in the world and it would give me great pleasure to manage the Jets to a second World title!

The earlier version of the game was not that bad, though it lacked some of the depth you would find in other SMS... it was cool watching the games through Maddens graphics engine....

World title sounds a bit funny if you consider that there is no real competition outside the US, and if you consider that the European FL holds quite some seasoned (discarded) NFL players. A world title in soccer... ok, but football?

I'm not trying to depreciate the quality of US teams, tho, don't get me wrong.

We had a forummember in the Advanced Tactics forums who was busy developing a mod for the game precisely that; a medieval tactical turn based game in Japan. He had some posts ... a long time ago, apparently he stopped developing the mod. It looked promising though.
