It's been a while since I tried Elemental but with 1.09B I'm afraid I am not having much luck. I ran into two problems right off. Note that this was with a new game and Windows had been recently booted and the game had just been started:

1) Janusk or whatever his name is became stuck in an area where some goodies were found. It appears the map that was generated placed the goodies in a somewhat inaccessible area. I got him in there but couldn't get him out. I tried auto-explore, right-clicking all over the place, but regardless, he would not move. It also didn't matter how many times I pressed the Next Turn button.

2) This is a problem I have seen in just about every build: You click on a town, you click on Build, and you select an item to build. You then click to add it to the queue and nothing happens. I tried this over and over again for one particular town and I could never build anything beyond what I built when I first established the town. Clicking Next Turn had no effect.

And with that a game I had spent about 30 minutes on was over! I sure hope 1.1 is actually playable!
