He’s been onboard about a month and a half now. The game has MASSIVELY improved in that time.
BTW the latest beta improves things heavily, and a bunch of fixes in the beta tonight that is coming out.

Still waiting for end of Q1 2011 before giving this a real crack.
Something just incredibly funny about this line.
Same here. I want the Kael goodness to be completely melted and gooey before digging in again.
That sounds a bit gross…

Having a bit of a break from Age of Wonders, I decided to have a look at Elemental finally after months of it being tucked away in Impulse. Unfortunately, I am too far enamoured with Age of Wonders right now, so didn’t get too far past the early game with Elemental. It just can not hook me.
The game interface is finally a lot better.
The quest system still sucks in the most boring way possible. And an exercise in tedium. I’d rather it just didn’t exist if all I have to do is click on a yellow point on the map, and repeat. Further to that point, I would say that landmarks should always be visible on the map, not just appear as adventure techs become unlocked.
Haven’t really had any big battles yet, only reached the early stages of the game, so not sure just how well the tactical battles have been tweaked. But on the whole, the battles run a lot more smoother for me, and things are markedly improved on the map.
City improvements, the fact I can build as many workshops etc as I want are great step in the right direction I believe from a city specialising viewpoint.

Quests do suck, that is something that is set aside for after 1.1 With Kael on board ,I’m not too worried about it
Tactical battles is set for later as well. However, the tweaks to balance do help tactical battles out some already
The bugs are now getting smaller/less common.
It’s the fact that you’re using the word beta for a game that…well, yeah.
While your point is still a good one, I’m assuming you know he’s referring to the beta of the patch.

Completely agree with everything you wrote by the way. My post didn’t convey one thing which was on my distracted mind, and that is simply that there is a game present within all of this. As far as knowing what is going on, there are some massive leaps in improvement.
Uh, yes I do. And it wasn’t my point to begin with in any case.
It wasn’t an accusation or anything - I’m just missing the funny.

No Kael, don’t restrain your melted gooey goodness!
I’m pretty sure that having access to Kael’s melted gooey goodness is part of the gamer bill of rights.

You know… this thread has taken an awful lot of twists and turns in it’s lifetime, but I still didn’t expect it to take a turn for the homo-erotic. :|
Well, the Brad-worship was kind of homoerotic.
This is Kael worship. So much hotter…and meltier.

Haha, nice. There should be some “quartertothreemanlove” cheat code you can enter that will rename the spell.
Now, if only you changed the color red of the blood in the bacrground to something more whiteish, we could follow the homo-erotic trends.
