So what you end up having is troops with the latest equipment because they're like 20 gold or so decked out and a sovereign in rags. Which is fine because once you have a shard or two in magic it's pretty much a wrap for anything on the map. A 2 mana spell will deal enough damage to kill anything. More importantly the worst change was tying food and gildar producing buildings together. Food is already very limited, and now this?

A campaign actually makes you care about the characters and lore. A good campaign gives life to the game, which was one of the criticisms that Elemental has had. Look at Warcraft and Starcraft for example? It's campaigns gave life and flavor to it. This criticism is also found in Galactic Civilizations and it had a not so hot campaign itself because it focused more on Sandbox.

I really have no idea why so many people dislike campaigns. I love them. [e digicons]:sick:[/e]

[quote quoting="post"] So elemental has been taking flak from every direction now, but one part that has been mentioned in countless reviews, but not really taken life in a discussion here: the artwork. This entails models, textures, animations, particle effects, ui, and most importantly, the general art direction of the whole game. I'll be starting about characters, and will add this paintover of Procipinee I did: Reduced 87%Original 6

Wait and use that money to buy Civ 5 next week. Don't listen to the fanboys. This game will be fun in a year, plus it will probably be 30 or 20 bucks by then.

If you think AC sucked then you just have bad taste in video games. That or you're so blinded by Elemental fanboyism that it's making your brain think crazy thoughts. AC and MoM are still playable even today. I posted this post to put a thing in perspective.

3 is actually correct because each of the things listed seems only halfway finished. Designing your units only has a few customizations available. I'm talking about clothing, faces, gender :P, hair, etc etc. I love the poses but I wish the other things you could choose from were fleshed out as well. Dynasties seem to be useless as well. I wish they were more like Crusader kings and had fully implemented ideas, including letting your faction heir t

I say that because mods can alter extensively these data values, and the AI could become unbalanced... Not really practical. The basic problem (let's just say the killer problem f

Look at him, he says "How do I get married." Murray you hear that? I know! Come here kid, you wanna get married? I'll make it happen *opens door to the library* this is how I met your mother.
