I am planning on buying this game if someone on here can just answer one simple question.

from Elemental Forums

All I want to know is if this game has been dumbed down/streamlined in any way since the original (which I loved)

I never understood all the bad reviews Elemental got. Usually, games that receive awful reviews deserve them, but last year I spent so much damn time in that game, lol. But I am very wary about buying sequels (Civ V, Mount & Blade)

All I really want to do is make sure I'm not buying something that's going to be ANY LESS complex than the original. If it's been dumbed down or "streamlined", as devs love to use, then I really don't want to spend the $40 on this. Or $30, I think, since I owned the original. So if anyone can answer this for me, I'd appreciate it.

Quoting Mtn_Man, reply 17It's so complex that I don't have any idea what the hell I'm doing, and I keep getting my backside handed to me by the all damn monsters all over the place.  That one review was right when it said that the world itself was more dangerous than the AI players you'd face.

On that note, is there any way to remove the injuries from champions who fall in battle, or are those permanent debuffs?

I started a new game this evening and have had much better success.  Apparently I just got an unlucky starting position in my earlier game because I was surrounded by lots of high level monsters which made it very difficult to explore and level up.  This time around, the surrounding enemies are a more reasonable level, so my champions aren't getting one-hit killed every time they enter battle.  The AI is still far outpacing me if the "Faction Power" score is any indication, so I still have a ways to go before I'm over the learning curve.  But at least I'm having fun.

If you ever encounter a poor starting position click on ctrl+N. Restarts the map for ya.
