Elemental Screenshots: Wizard and the Spiders

by Chris Faylor, Sep 04, 2009 11:00am PDT

I don't like spiders very much, let alone those of the giant variety. However, I do love me some wizards, which puts this latest batch of Elemental screenshots in a tricky spot.

The latest 4X (exploration, expansion, exploitation, extermination) strategy game from Galactic Civilizations dev Stardock, Elemental: War of Magic (PC) is due in mid-2010.

  • I suspect that the force will be strong with this one. There's just a few things that I hope Stardock can improve upon from their experience with the GalCiv games:

    1. Improve the personality of the game world. The GalCiv map, menus, and characters were just so boring to look at compared to something vibrant and alive like Civ IV. This game is already looking like an improvement in that department, which is good news.

    2. Simplify the tech trees to be more meaningful and useful, rather than just tons and tons of incremental improvements on base techs.

    3. Improved music and sound effects. Yes, this is a whiny nag, but the GalCiv music and sounds were just so pathetic :(
