I spend so much time talking and promoting Elemental that sometimes I neglect playing it more than I should. So this weekend after the yard work was done, I sat down and spent some quality time with Elemental – beta 2. I just love it.
Did you play, and what were your beta impressions so far?
I played this weekend. I think they have an awesome framework for the game that will be put in. Once a few of the kinks are worked out it will make for one helluva good game.
I'm glad to hear there were some changes regarding the housing and gardens. I played a few games and the building aspect was getting really tedious. I think in the other threads it is better debated, but I hope they go for a "less is more" option here.
I really liked exploring around and seeing the random worlds. I do wonder about how the movement is going to play out. Tried a bunch of different Sovereigns but the only one who seemed worthwhile was the guy who could move fast. I ended up killing all the NPCs and leveling up movement so I could move like 16 tiles per turn. Nothing wrong with being fast, but I was super fast compared to the bum who could only move one
I"m really looking forward to the tactical battles! I can't wait for more!
I played too many hours this weekend, but had nothing else to do anyway. I had both Civics and Warfare reseached to lvl 30+ and found so many speed potions, my sovereign was zipping around the map with move 13, after which even more speed potions didnt add anything more.
And i dare say it was fun.
Now i am going to punch myself for awhile to even out my karma ...
Thank you, the garden thing was over the top.
I have to admit, I'm still in the phase to find out if the current style of city development will be fun in the future or not. Still in the trying phase and thinking how to improve - woop Frogboy was faster and already post on the upgrade of beta. I have to tell - as I'm still in the exploration phase of the game mechanics itself, the game plays a lot of fun for me. I think only the beginning without a tutorial means that you have at least to start a few games until you get used to all the different approaches. As soon as you identified how you can servive the first few rounds, there is plenty of room to explore and try different approaches.
Looking really forward to the game and the improvements.
I played for a bit (between work and sleep). Work... hmm who invented such chore? Let machines do work I say and let us play Elemental! Anyway I hope to sneak in some more game play on my day off, even if I have to move out to a hotel for the day .
I tried, but the game crashes every time I go past the main menu.
Bug report submitted; waiting for patch.
