Hello everyone.

The campaign mode of Elemental worked flawlessly for me and was a great tutorial, so thank you to the devs for that. The map mode, however, is exhibiting a strange behaviour I can't figure out. When fighting enemy sovereigns, or when champions are fighting wandering monsters, I can't take tactical control of the battle. And at the risk of raising the Wrath of Frogboy, his AI doesn't do very well in combats early on when my only "weapons" are my spells - the simple notion of "back up and shoot lightning until they die" isn't in the routine, it seems

So I have a situation where I can either turtle up and research for 500 turns and get some juggernauts, or keep playing the first 50 turns of a new game until my morons go play fisticuffs with the fire-breathing demondog and end up puppy chow.  I can't find anything in the manual to explain why I can't select tactical combat sometimes, and there's no obvious "force tactical" toggle, either.  I'd *really* love to play this game, but its value as the game it's meant to be is depressed with arbitrary and inexplicable autocombats.  Here's hoping this is user error. Please do let me know.

Thank you.
