World sound effects

from Elemental Forums

Does anyone know if there is any plan to enhance the environment sounds and sound effects?  The occasional grunt, etc just seems so...lacking.  I like the music but when you zoom into a city you should hear city sounds, crowds, hammering, etc.  Monster and character sounds are hollow.  I love the game so far but I agree when people mention how the world does not seem "alive" in some respects.  In my opinion, improving the quality of the world sound effects and character feedback would go a long way to improving this.  Play warlock and you will get an idea of the kind of world sounds I am talking about.

Warlock is an excellent comparison sound wise. If I can click it, it should make some kind of sound.  The sound effects feel like they are only 20% done at this moment. HOWEVER, this is something they are aware of and will be addressing in another patch/polish update. It's on their radar, or so I recall them saying so anyway.

I played Heroes of Might and Magic II & III and I know that ambient sounds can make a huge difference in climate and immersion. Please Stardock, make the Elemental world a living place.
