In Elemental, you control a single avatar, called a sovereign, imbued with magic. The sovereign can raise cities, gather armies and command all the resources a Tolkien-esque world would have to win a war (magic, dragons, ancient lore, etc.). The sovereign can also walk around maps and explore dungeons with your armies to acquire even more resources. The goal – as with most strategy games – is to build up enough resources to sustain a well-equipped army or bribe an enemy into being an ally that can lead to total domination of the map – and the death of all the other sovereigns via your army or badass spells.
