> [@Illuminatiprimus](#): > > I agree with **MOIDALIZE** , probably wait a bit longer. I’m loathe to buy an expansion pack to make the game playable though, unless they’re giving it away free. They are working on v1.1 which will have a lot of changes in gameplay. Up to this point the patches were mainly bug fixes. Stardock has also announced that anyone who bought the game before a certain date will get the first expansion pack for free. ---

Then all is well. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not in the “I deserve a free game” school of thought, but Elemental has turned out to be particularly rushed in its release to the point where the game clearly isn’t finished, and Stardock needs to recognise this for those that were willing to pony up and support it in its early days. ---

I finally got to play it this week. I like it. It’s good, but not great. I think I need to adjust to its learning curve, though - couple of things just caught me by surprise. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/elemental-war-of-magic/550875.md?page=2)
