I really really want to like Elemental so much that I play nothing else. Unfortunately there is just too much about the game that feels not quite done. I know many of the points I am about to make have been made in various other posts, but I feel I should point out why I just can't bring myself to get fully hooked yet. 1) Champions.

I realize that this is not as simple of a task as it sounds given that you would

AOW: SM has a random map generator. AOW 2 does not.
