I got mine in the mail. Wish I had never heard of this game. What a waste.
I'm not normally one to comment on the PC games I have played over the past 28 years, but I feel compelled to do so in this instance. Elemental is basically, sick. Sick as a dog. Sick is how I describe software that doesn't work. And I know a lot about software development, a whole lot. I'm sorry but this game is not worth a plug nickle. You can make all kinds of excuses for its condition, and some fools will listen, however, I feel I must warn everyone to stay away from this game. Like I said, it's a dog. A sick dog to the point of being terminal. I don't beleive Elemental can be fixed. There is just way to much wrong with it. Even version 1.08 released a few days ago is a joke. Please, don't let quacky programmers take your money. You'll never get it back. Elemental is nothing short of internet super-highway robbery. These guys have no intention of providing a game worth playing. They just want the cash. If you don't believe me, then I dare you to prove me wrong.
I have to agree. Not completely, there is somewhat playable game here. But it was and probably wont be ever finished. To put out a game that costs this much, and in this state? It is robbery.
I mean why is it that when I take over an enemy city my food supply drops by -1 to -5? How did the computer survive with that kind of food shortage? At one point I took over a capitol and got a -22 food shortage. WTF?
Not to mention the combat system which is still a mystery. Or the inability to equip heros/kings etc without a huge click fest.
Why is there maybe one piece of fertile land in a 300 mile radius? How does a computer city get to size 9 or so without ANY farms?
Why does a game like this run slow? How can it? The graphics are nowhere near Civ V, and I have that game running max and it runs very fast.
Theres so much wrong with this game, Im agreeing that it will probably never be finished.
