Elemental: War of Magic is a war strategy game that was berated for so many bugs, crashes and rough edges that the Stardock studio CEO issued a public apology and promised to make major improvements to the game. Six months later and the game has seen several updates. It's still not up to the caliber of the Stardock classic Galactic Civilizations 2, but it is now a solid game in a similar vein.

Elemental is set in a fantasy world a century after a great cataclysm shattered it, and the game calls on its players to select a sovereign and establish a realm. Players can create their own sovereign or choose from several pre-made versions, and they are able to endlessly customize their look and attributes. The player's sovereign then travels the world and leads armies, and can cast powerful spells from spell books and elemental shards scattered around the map.

War strategy games are a whole lot of fun on Facebook. The social network has seen these war strategy games popping up all over of late and some of them have been great fun. There is a whole list of these war strategy games.

Sid Meir is known to millions of adoring fans as the "Father of Computer Gaming" for his creation of one of the best selling strategy games of all time, "Civilization." Now Meir is taking on the world of social gaming on the pages of Facebook, with an incarnation of his famous franchise called "Civilization World." Developers hope to have this game up and running sometime this summer.

According to Meir, this has been the most dramatic stretch for the game to date. He said that they were not specifically looking to make a "Facebook game", but they were looking for what Facebook brings that is unique, and that could be leveraged to strategy game play. Things that a Facebook game can offer Civ players over a traditional PC game include connections with friends and a world with potentially hundreds of millions of players.
