The Official Elemental Screenshot Thread

 

So I thought it would be nice to see peoples adventures in this wonderful game Elemental.

Feel free to post screenshots of you while playing the game.

If you don't know how to take screenshots, use a program like Xfire or Fraps.. then uploads the screenshots to an image host like www.tinypic.com


Just a thread for people to relax and enjoy some screenshots from fellow players B)

Perhaps you should consider writing an AAR around the screen shots to give them context :)

8 AI on the smallest map on easy.  I get lucky by having only 2 chokepoints between me and the mighty yellow empire.  I close the left-most entrance as much as I can (to the point where I don't think AI would use it), and concentrate my meager defenses to the north.

Because Arma2 OA is an awesome game, and I somehow survived a several second long machine gun burst.

Has anyone got screenshots with rivers in them? I've yet to see any rivers in the game which was featured in a screenshot on the site ages ago. It looked really cool seeing a river of lava on the evil side and a pure stream of water on the good side.

Nice screenshots bud!

What do you like to research first and what do you like building first in a new city?

Not only is my first screenshot an example of the border bug, it's an example of how alt-tabbing out and back (to start Fraps, in my case) can remove the city overlays! :D

What do you like to research first and what do you like building first in a new city?

That depends entirely on situation and strategy, which is something that I really like about Elemental (even though there aren't that many different strategies that function correctly yet).  In the screenshotted game I think that I researched into the combat tree for fast equipment (imperial shortsword, since I wanted a shield for defense), then went heavily into the domination techs to maximize my access to quests and goodie huts (I was using an Adventurer+Tracker combat sovereign for maximum loot collection).

Building priority is always dependent on my resource situation, but usually a Moneychanger is a high priority early-game building (though a Labor Pit is critical for the starting city).  I actually didn't build a farm for quite a long time in the screenshotted game, since population growth was almost irrelevant to my strategy (though I did ultimately get most of my cities to level 3 for their respective specialist buildings).

I finished that game in a questing win on turn 188.  Here's a shot from my last save, just before finishing the forge quest; city overlays are visible, showing their production specializations, and my sov's ending stats (no ring/amulet abuse) are also visible in the interface bar at the bottom:

If you look carefully in the upper left, you can even see where I terraformed up a landbridge to get to the forge around Tarth's territory (marginally easier than conquering them).

Here is "Doggy" giving me some information about Adventurers deeds. I thought it was pretty hilarious. What a nice pet!

Doggy

I doubt you'll find him doing this in your game as he is from testing my "Abilities and Traits Mod" which adds a dog companion acquired by a trait.
