I am pleased to announce the launch of a new, community-driven reference Wiki for Legendary Heroes and the rest of the Elemental games. As this is a community-driven project it is intended to grow to no end, and become a place where we can solve the many mysteries of Elemental for years to come. In this light, the wealth of treasure that the site provides is only as valuable as we make it - and although there is already a trove of secrets to be discovered, we need more veteran Sages versed in the games' finer strategies. At the moment you will find some red links scattered throughout the site: these are areas in need of attention. Research especially could use some help. If you consider yourself a more advanced player with a solid understanding of the game and would like to contribute, please just private message either parrottmath or myself (include an email address for us to send login info to), and we will make you an account. Our only prerequisite is that you've made a couple constructive posts here on Stardock's forums. The more experienced players we have contributing to the site the better it will be. With a little love this can become the only guide we'll ever need on our journey through Elemental.

Many thanks to Stardock, for creating a world full of wonder for us to explore; to parrottmath, for helping to administrate the site and make it possible; and to this community, for turning a single-player game into more of a multi-player adventure..
Let's use this space to discuss ideas for the site.
There should definitely be a section about classes
Character Development certainly could use some love.
Create an account for you?
If you want me to do it, sure make me an acct.
Check your PM's when you get a chance.
Where can I get help on how to edit the Wiki?
or will it be intuitive?
I've made the Wiki as intuitive to edit as possible, and there is a section near the bottom of the home page with some additional tips and guides. In general, once you've logged in just click the Edit links or the red, broken page links around the site and you will be presented with a text formatting box very similar to the one I'm typing this in right now.
Controlling Unrest has been added to the Strategy section. Presently it just contains the basic info.
It will probably require further editing to make it more pretty.
I wouldn't mind helping out with the Wiki.
I could write a strategy guide, or copy-paste info about traits and/or factions.
Also, besides some opinions I do not share, I noticed some outdated information about weight popping up a couple of times.
Great! Just PM an email address to either parrottmath or myself for us to send login info to.
<BUMP>
Just a reminder that we have a wiki.
I'm not sure if people are using it. I've been adding stuff but wondering if it's worth my time.
I do sometimes. E.g. to see if a special route to take a special treat is worth it. Or what exactly it does.
Appreciate your work!
Please do keep in mind, most people using a wiki never talk about it.
I check it. Is there a way to see what has been updated?
On the Main Page there is a link to 'Recent Changes'

Thanks
Those numbers at the bottom of each page of the wiki are real, representing how many times a page has been downloaded (by a browser). These can be generally thought of as unique hits, while the same user accessing a page multiple times may not necessarily insinuate that their browser actually re-downloaded it. Every browser and user has different settings for when to "check for new version of pages". An edit to a page is definitely a hit, as the editor's browser will download the updated version afterwords. In Windows you may force a "hard-refresh" of a page (on any website) by hitting ctrl + f5, and watch those numbers rise as your browser re-downloads it.
I would guesstimate that the wiki's received a little over 5k visits so far.
Thus far this is the only community I've shared the site with, intentionally. I plan on easing the barrier to become a contributor gradually over time in proportion to the size and scope of the community at-large that I am promoting to. This is mainly so that the community will grow slowly and steadily, giving each new wave of contributors time to flesh out the site to their liking - such that managing it doesn't become overwhelming; and to control the amount of time that parrottmath and myself must administrate any flood-gates. The holidays are a busy time for all of us (under a capitalist roof). I wanted to give this community first dibs as well. Also, Google's bots haven't filed the site yet, which is fine by me until I do a bit more promoting anyway. Next will probably be the Steam community: most likely with a barrier to becoming a contributor of a hundred hours logged in-game.
FuzzyGold, Fallenchar, and Raiddin have made some great contributions to the site over the past couple weeks, especially in the areas of Character Development, Custom Factions, and Strategy.
