I was in the beta and I have no clue what "elementium" is.

How on earth did you acquire that?

All I know is that it's different from the enchanted crystal things.

Maybe if you gather enough it reaches critical mass and explodes. Oh, wait that's uranium 

Joking aside, that's why we need more thorough documentation. I know you folks are doing your best and working like crazy these days, but some things need to be clarified.

It seems to be a 100% drop chance from certain lv4 Notable Locations. If you rush adventuring tech, you can be swimming in it by turn 100.

Level the Quest tech line a ton, and then go around looking for domed building-ish things. You won't leave unsatisfied!

Hmm... I've researched past the ancient maps one. I had been neglecting quests tech because of the wars with two imperials. My sov marches around with an ARMY of soldiers and summons that stomps imperial cities.

Ouch. I haven't gotten *that* far. My game has become too unstable to continue presently (crashes every 2 to 10 turns). I'm usually building companies of longbow wielding soldiers with no armor, backed up by parties of longsword wielding light plate clad front line troops. Sometimes these are still individuals (like in the sov's army), because the army hasn't been back home in *years*.

Oh and about elementium.  You need to to make legendary shields(10 def 15 dodge) and the super weapons.  The other legendary plates come from top end magic research.
