If someone is an original purchaser of Elemental War of Magic do they get a free copy of Fallen Enchantress? If so how do you do that?

No I'm afraid not.
Stardock CEO Brad Wardell explained that he ended up doing this as the game/release was horrible in the following video.

In going though my library of games and attempting to play them (with most current patches) I realize this game has always been unplayable and I paid for something I never got (a working game).
Are you sure you cannot make this right?
You had to have purchased it by a certain date. Depending on the date you bought it you got:
1) Fallen Enchantress for free
2) both Fallen Enchantress *and* Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes for free
If I had to guess #2 was all pre-orders and some certain date after original launch.
#1 was probably some time after the time from above extended out a bit longer.
I don't recall what the exact dates were, that was like 8 or 9 years ago, wasn't it?
I think if you bought some un-opened copy of E:WoM in the meantime, you are not entitled to the free games.
Plus, I'd also expect that offer to have expired many years ago!
I remember setting the game aside (I collect many games) because of the challenges and planning on picking it up after Stardock had time to patch it.
I agree that it was quite a few years ago and I never got back to play this game.
Given the recent events around the world have given me time to look back and attempt to play games with the latest patches.
It is unfortunate that this game was always unplayable and was never corrected.
I also understand, I am years after any attempt to make it right.
Just feels wrong that I have a just under 50$ game that I got zero value from, ever.
They did keep updating it after release. And you should be able to go to your Stardock account page and download that most recent (still very old) version. It was brought to a level where it was no longer unplayable. I still wouldn't call it in great shape or a good game. But I did download and play it a bit about a year or two ago.
