While Elemental has had some major growing pains at the beginning it is definitely a good game with the potential for greatness. I don't mind the stuck turns or CTD on occation as I know that will be fixed in time.
My issue is with features that don't do anything wrong other than bombard me with pointlessness, in this case auto-designed troops. I like this feature as it keeps me up to date on military units without the need for constant design/redesign of troops, however... My gripe is that it will create multiple copies of the same template or multiple templates that are the same just with a different name and portrait.
Case in point I played a game where the Guard, Honor Guard, and Defender premade troops were all identical and I was also given 2 identical Archer templates with different portraits! If there is a new troop design available it should have a difference from existing troops other than a cosmetic one, different weapon, armour, cost, HP, something! I don't need a ton of different templates that are all the same!
Considering the rough start this game had I really do like it alot, just give the premade troops another look in the future please.
