also that Hiergamenon thing. It's written from the human perspective and is very biased.

I think when you're having such a deep strategy game, it wouldn't hurt if the lore would be represented much better. especially, when it is claimed that there's loads of written material about the world. I like that Elemental does not have elves, dwarves and orcs and uses its own original racial classification, but It would add so much flavor to the gaming process, if more was known about the differences between the trogs, urxen, wraiths, quendar and the nations of humans. hope it will be exp
it's a shame that such a good game has such a shallow representation of the story and setting, especially when it is claimed that the background lore is rich and detailed. It's good that developers have it out there, but it should be delivered, right? I really hope that Stardock will release campaigns that will have much more detail and will allow the players to feel the atmosphere of the game. lots of people seem to underestimate the importance of the story.
