Įnsuing battles lead to the destruction of the Forge, and ultimately the land itself. In time, human channelers arose to challenge the Titans. At first, only they could use the magic within the shards. While engaged in civil war, the Titans imprison the world's magic in a number of elemental shards. Immortal beings known as the Titans were attracted to the world by construction of the reality-warping Forge of the Overlord, an artifact able to create magical items. The game is set in a world once filled with magic, which comes to form the basis of human civilization. Following the release of Fallen Enchantress, Stardock discontinued Elemental: War of Magic and no longer sells the game. Stardock has released four further turn-based strategy games set in the world of Elemental: Elemental: Fallen Enchantress, in October 2012, Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes, in May 2013, Sorcerer King, in July 2015, and Sorcerer King: Rivals, in September 2016. Stardock calls Elemental 'a strategy game in a role-playing world.' The game revolves around exploration, city-building, resource management and conquest, but also incorporates quests and detailed unit design. Elemental: War of Magic is a fantasy 4X turn-based strategy game developed and published by Stardock, released in August 24, 2010.
