Kalypso Media, best known for their games in the strategy genre, such as the Tropico series, Patrician IV, and Disciples III, are now stepping forward with a new entry into the real time strategy arena where you bend the weather itself to your cause. In Elements of War, much has gone downhill on Earth as a secret government experiment based on weather control causes an almost total global climate collapse. The game puts you on the side of one of three factions who are fighting on U.S. soil for control of the remaining weather-based weapons. More information about this intriguing concept, including a release date, is in the press release below.
