dirtyharry50: Yeah, I was definitely being a cheapskate but I figured I'll get more than my money's worth for under 12 bucks and can always consider whatever is available down the line later on, etc. I've really been wanting to try this after watching a let's play a while ago for about an hour of early gameplay. I've read the game is fairly accessible for a 4x newcomer too which in my case is a plus, not that I don't expect a learning curve. I'm fine with that. Depth makes for fun.
Pheace: I imagine you'll get a fair amount of enjoyment out of it, it's decent, a definite improvement over Elemental, although LH again is an improvement on that imo and closer to what I'd consider a good game. My biggest issue with LH, and reason I mention it like that, is that because LH is only a standalone and not available as a separate DLC I think it won't be worth the marginal upgrade from FE any time soon since they'll be selling it as a 'new' product at new prices and low sales for quite a while probably, which will make it not worth the upgrade for a long time, thus better to get the LH one now. Kind of depends if the half off for FE owners persists after release though because that does help of course, but I'm skeptical about that.
