Elemental: War of Magic Gameplay Examples, Continued

Stardock’s official Elemental: War of Magic website has showered us with four more screenshot-heavy “gameplay examples” for the strategy/RPG, which continue to lend us some information about the game’s mechanics while also painting a bit of a story. Parts two, three, four, and five delve into everything from unit names to battle tactics:

Yithril still had for soldiers in the battle including Verga himself. Roland knew he might not ever have another chance.

Roland decided to fall back at first. Could the catapult soften Verga up enough to even the odds?
