My glorious uber-computer has recently died a horrible death ( ), and I've had to roll out its less glorious predecessor. That machine is on the lower end of Elemental's system requirements, but I still had to buy the game, how often do ambitious strategy/RPG games comes out? It runs on my older machine, but even with all the graphical settings turned down as much as possible, the performance is pretty choppy, in particular if you are zoomed in, a slight tap on the edge of the screen results in a massive screen jump (Yeah, I turned edge slide speed down). And the clothmap mode, while a nice addition, just takes too much away from immersion for me. Now, I am not complaining or anything, as with my low specs, I knew what I was getting into, but I was just wondering about something. It seems to me (and i could be wrong of course) that most people who are into TBS games are the kind of people who might not necessarily play graphics demanding games likes first person shooters. Most offerings in this genre are either really old or not very demanding graphically (Master of Magic, Age of Wonders, Heroes of Might and Magic, etc). So with that said (or assumed), while I realize Brad and Stardock are buried in things to do with Elemental right now, are there plans down the line, once you guys get some breathing room, to make Elemental more accessible to people without newer machines, but not strictly in clothmap mode? Perhaps figuring out ways to turn down/disable more graphical options. I am sure the graphical performance optimizations coming soon for everyone will help those people too, but they might not be enough for people on the low end.
