Thanks for all the answers! I was hoping for some good news but it seems its still far away from the game I wishes to see. Maybe I'll try it out when BNW is on (steam) sale.

Hi, I never played Civ 5 much because at start the AI sucks really bad. Is it better now? Do I get a good challenge as an experienced Strategy Player on current state with the 2 Expansions? Thanks for answering!

Yes german version. Don't know what happened, it worked 2-3 years ago and it was in the original dvd box whole time. Like said, the Civ4 dvd stands beside beyond the sword and is working (and looking) fine.

Well. I bought civ4 and beyond the sword when rhey came out. Both were in my shelf the last 2 years untouched. I tried to install civ4 few days ago. Civ4 works fine but the beyond the sword dvd didn't work. The dvd edges were partly sligtly black (coming from inside of the dvd) and i can also...

Site seems down. Are there any alternative download links?

Hi, with the steam special I just want to ask the question in the topic: Is the AI still stupid like Bread? So tactical AI still can easily outmoved? No good attack plan when AI is attacking. I'm an experienced wargamer so I want some expert oppinions from people who are used to...

Well actually i have a lot war gamer friends and some of same gave Civ 5 a try and reports to the rest. Also there are a really good game testing site but its in german: http://www.gamersglobal.de The tested Civ5 a lot in SP and MP mode and both lacks somehow. They wrote a long...

Well sure there is no AI which can compete with a good strategy player but you have various ways to improve an AI - and this game needs a lot of improvements here - plus you note it, in higher levels the AI needs help in form from bonus or resources. AI cheating is abolutly ok for everyone who...

I changed the topic so its more clear. I just mean the view of an expert strategy player and not so much from the city/country manager fraction.

This is interpretation and for me games which have a "strategy" focus needs either a good MP part or a real good and challenging AI. So in my eyes a strategic game which lacks exactly this is unplayable.

Is it still unplayable? For me is a game playable when the AI can manage to defeat me and have some good routines to handle the different parts of the game like - ie for Civ V: - tactical AI - diplomatic AI - AI have some global goal which he tries to reach etc. Well from all the...

As a elemental player i can add: the game concept i pretty good! I had the feeling of a new and better Master of Magic and a lot of things works fine to me. BUT in moment the game lacks on a lot of bugs and a bad AI. Brad will have to improve the AI after his vacation a lot! Too many...

Elementals got inspired by a lot more games than MoM. See this list from brad (and i'm sure there are a lot more games). http://forums.elementalgame.com/368078 I'm not sure what you want to say. Brad never said its MoM2 and sure he plays the games he is inspired from (so in your example MoM)...

I'm sure this game was already posted here but i've to do it again. Elemental was inspired by Master of Magic but also by games like Dominions, Civ 4 - Fall from Heaven Mod and others from the genre. Read Brad's Journal and help him out with your suggestion to make a perfect fantasy strategy...

Call me stupid but i can't find the scenarios in the single player game scenraio list. I know in 0.34 there were a scenario button (without function) in the game but i can't imagine i have to start any game just to get the scenario screen. Any advise here?
