Greetings,
I'm confused about how to build up Elan. I'm trying to create a kingdom that is primarily sorcery, but I can't seem to build up any Elan. I can use Calming Chant to build it, but it takes like 70 turns to get up enough Elan to cast one higher level spell.
Do I need to have more serfs, or increase my temples? Any suggestions would be helpful; here is my kingdom stats:
Angelique
Human
Land: 1,619
Serfs: 6,424
Temples: 284

Well first off, you need to build up a larger realm before even worrying about trying to use sorcery offensively. Also, yes you are going to need more temples. A lot of them in fact. The amount of elan your realm generates per turn is dependent upon the amount of temples you have. If I'm not mistaken, offering should still give you some elan, but the real elan is in having a large percentage of temples and simply earning the elan each turn you play with your realm.
If you would like a good building strategy for creating a quick sorcery realm, or any other additional information, please feel free to contact me. All my available contacts are listed in my profile, but I mainly use ICQ # 283-300-241. If you would like to contact me on MSN or Yahoo, you should PM me first and let me know because otherwise I never use them.

As for elan, you start getting it at 250 temples. The rate increases every 500 temples you add after that. So 250 = +1, 750 = +2, 1250 = +3, 1750 = +4, etc.
The more temples, the more elan per turn. And the more sorcing possibilities you have. And (sadly) the more you lose with the occasional backlash.

the spells are given as a percentage of land devoted to your god
higher percentage of temples on your land the higher the spell you get
so a small kingdom can get top spell with less total temples but a higher percentage of total land devoted to them
large doms need an unachievable amount of temps for top spell
