Even the Total War engine starts to slow down when there are 10 000+ soldiers on screen so I'm pretty sure that the Elemental engine would also have some problems.

Sovereign rushing is definately a bit too effective tactic.

Maybe we're talking apples and oranges, but I have had more than 10 units in an army: [/quote] You should read this thread: http://quartertothree.com/game-talk/showpost.php?p=2277109&postcount=1373 Brad says that armies will be limited to 10 units in the final game.

This isn't the early 90's or late 80's...and this Isn't MoM. MoM was a Masterpiece, but it was quite limited for it's day. Honestly, Elemental blows MoM out of the water in Every Way-Shape-and form.

That is pretty cool and something I have never seen before in a strategy game... I think...? Another thing I would love is a tactical combat multiplayer option.

3 minutes sounds about right for tactical battles. If they lasted longer, people wouldn't use them in multiplayer.

I think the whole NPC recruiting process should be deeper. Maybe add more ways to recruit those heroes. One NPC type could ask you to perform a certain quest before joining your party, while another NPC would only join you if you manage to defeat him in a duel.

I think they should just add some weather magic into the game so you could summon some rain clouds when you facing tons of archers.

Yeah, I always thought that the battles in Elemental would be similar to the battles in Birthright.

He called himself General Trinklevox and acted like he was some legendary hero and a commander of a mighty army, even though he was dressed like a simple peasant and nobody had ever heard of him. All day long this so-called "general" tried to recruit more men into his "army" using quite peculiar methods. He usually just grabbed the ar
