Why am I STILL getting my butt kicked? I have the world AI set to novice, I've created my own character who is a warlord, I have only one allied kingdom besides mine on the board, the kingdom's AI is set to novice... I have 2-3 cities all built near food sources. None of them are really large but they're still well-developed.

I too find the novice setting on the sandbox mode exceptionally difficult. I'm going to try with fewer opponents on the map next.
[quote who="ZehDon" reply="23" id="2817318"]Nice. I'm glad to hear that Elemental is going to be the best Elemental it can be, and not a mash-up of ideas from other games borrowed because those games are perceived as 'good'.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="2" id="2816276"]I don't think most people realize that Kael's strength isn't just that he's a great designer but he's a veteran project manager. The single must challenging thing during Elemental's later development stages was when I had to take over last Spring as Producer, I still had a company to run and so I couldn't focus full time on managing the project (at the time, I thought I could just add 45 hours to my weekly schedule but that had unintended
Awesome news. Good luck new-producer-dude.
