I wouldn't expect the "deluxe boxed edition" anytime soon.

 

That being said, I've heard rumors that the "Limited Edition" box has started to arrive at people's doors.   As a general rule though, I am curious myself.  I know that some users have started receiving their boxes in the mail, but I have seen no information about any sort of tracking number.  In the chaos of the launch they must have failed to send out tracking numbers or something like that.

Im hoping to get mine soon.  that said I sent an email to Customer Care asking about a tracking number.  he responce i got back was "we dont have any tracking numbers to provide, and to contact my local post office if i dont receive it within 3 weeks " Ahh well  I must have faith in the Postal Service that it will be delivered...

They ship the box's from North america, i got a message from the post office yesterday that a package is waiting for pickup, i show up and there it is but there is a £15 customs charge i had to pay extra, i'm still waiting for impulse's reply to that charge but i'm guessing that all your box's are held up at customs

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.
