good tip.
Ive been playing elemental and i have some spoilers.

*spoilers*
Good to get resourseful and the negative research of magic as racial traits. Theres a power to fast battle move and hit points.
Good the power organized for the sovereign (and more moves). And stupid is not bad research spells its not that hot.
I got an offensive sovereign last night and worked fine. Started with a spear and armor and positive battle skills. Just killed my neighbour in ridiculous AI.
So that dont look good yet. The AI is better now in 1.06, they build better military units but ive never seem them reach metal armor soon enough.
Im sure once it get MP there will be mods for balance. And stardocks job is to improve performance as i have to play on tiny maps and because of that. And even then they lag.

The thing I like the most is designing my units. Thats a big thing. I made this longbomen wraiths in violet robes. And the armored guys with 2h hammer, "punisher".
