Why does Elemental need a cool looking world? I've got another answer to that question : if it does not look cool (say, like galciv which was not so fancy) my girlfriend will not play it. And this would make me sad :(

thanks for the answer =) I think I'll have to wait the release then, I rarely buy a game until I've played the demo (moreover when its to do something which is my job) This game looks promising, do a great job !
a lot of good ideads but a huge risk to me : either to much micro requierd OR rely on predefined (and suboptimal) algorithms. The Anno / Colonization resources management looked very painful to me, I would call a 'perfect mix' something with the 'required resource' notion (as in Civilization) and 'available resources per turn' (as in dominions), but caravans/warehouses micro-management... well I'll wait and see. It looks quite simple when exp
a beta without graphs is rather an alpha no ? :) call it a beta primitv ? okay ;) (our customers would not accept a beta with cutted features, but we do enterprise softwares, not games :p) Anyway, you're totally right, the initiative sounds good to me since your primary concern should be the game mechanisms, not the graphics (im sure your cloth map still looks better than dom3 default ones, yet I spend hours on dom3 :D) what are the&n
