it had the game mechanics, but it didn't have much of anything else. If all I want is game mechanics I would just play Tetris.

Well I like GalCiv. However I also had this kind of "boring, been there done that" nagging feeling when playing it. And I was like thinking while playing, hey you're supposed to have fun with this game what's wrong with you???
Anyway, that's why I never really got into it. Its nice and interesting and has the elements in place but something was missing that I can't put my finger on. Dunno, the "magic" maybe, the one that MOM had and dominions has.
Still there's a chance that elemental will not be a fantasy GalCiv spiritual clone, and even if it would be it will still be worthwhile just to run the campaign and more importantly to get an understanding of where FTBS stands as of 2k9.
