Never played it, heard the first one was good. Game director is Kael aka Derek Paxton, made the Fall from Heaven 2 mod for Civ 4. That is what mostly piqued my interest.

Endless Legend was probably the best of the "Endless" games. Endless Space 1 + 2 were decent for their time, I guess, but put to shame with Stellaris. I think even the Galactic Civ games were better. And Endless Dungeon was extremely mediocre.

I hope it's good. It'd be nice to get a solid HOMM/4X fantasy game into the space finally. The Spellforce games have kind of taken on that mantle in recent years, but they aren't super awesome and have some issues.

If you care, you can probably find Endless Legends free to download somewhere. Didnt know they had a second one upcoming, so it makes a lot more sense that they would offer the first for free. Think I got it off Amazon tbh. But it could have been an Epic freebie.

Yeah I heard about it being free somewhere, thanks for the tip but I play exclusively through Steam. Plus I got a large backlog so I might as well wait for the sequel though because of the Steam sale it is around £6 at the moment.

Endless legend had the most variance in "civilizations" in any 4x game i think ive played. I hope this refines and uses all their old development. Like how from soft do. Vs how civilization franchize do...where they go with downgrade+dlc

Endless Legend had all the right bits, but it was just missing.. something ?

I can't really put my finger on it, but I never really got into it.

FFH2 is, of course, an all-time classic, and Fallen Enchantress ( shit buggy engine aside ) was actually pretty fun, so I am hopefully optimistic.

Indeed build on what made Endless Legend great. They have removed the winter component that they realised was detrimental to the overall gameplay so they are going for seafall in EL2.

I hope they get rid of the tactical battles. It forces bad balance decisions on the 4X side of the game because the player can delete AI units in detail much more effectively than you can if it's a pure clash of unit stats and some dice. It also just gums up the flow of the game and makes a game that already will be long into eternities if you are trying to optimize play.

I was looking at my steam playtime earlier cause I couldn't remember if it was Endless Legend or AoW: Planetfall that I enjoyed before I started playing AoW 4 and I only had like 20 hours on Endless Legend. I think that means it was the one I remember having x-com style hit/miss percentages displayed, where i'd had 90% chance to hit enemies on all my units and get all misses, and then the enemy would turn around and 1shot all my units with 40% hit chances?

This is what they have revealed and so on.

It was a perfectly awesome game if you just autocalced 100% of the time.
