I minimized the game after about 30 minutes to get something to eat. I was walking back into my room when I noticed the best atmospheric music I've ever heard in a 4x game coming from my speakers... seriously, the music is fantastic, and I'm not really an ambient guy.
    I hate tutorials, and I hate reading about a game before I play it, so I was expecting a rough time (although I'm a 4x vet). Surprisingly enough, there's a ton of quests to help you learn how to do things... some require you to make military units, some require you to build certain buildings, and some require you to produce a certain amount of production every turn. These quests taught me various things... such as producing different units, what buildings are good for what, and how to adjust your production / research values in the city.
    The way research is handled is quite refreshing... there's 6 different "ages" (think civ) with 4 categories of research . One is based around food / gold, another around production / science, another around exploration and happiness, and the last one around military. The game is handled in "ages"... but to advance to a new age, you don't need to go down every tree. You might completely ignore the military trees in the first age, and get them in the second or third one. You might go military early for expansion, then focus on military building later on. I especially loved this part of the game, because I dislike the linear tree in most games. I'm constantly experimenting with different research methods each time I start a game up.
    The tile system is somewhat similar to Civ, but it has FAR less RNG (thankfully). There's multiple types of ore to create weapons and armor with, so if you don't get one kind you can use another. Each kind is good, but specializes in a different area... one kind might give more defense, while another is lighter and gives more speed.
    The class system was somewhat disappointing... each empire is basically locked into one class. Luckily, you can build a mercenary camp VERY early (in the first age) and recruit heroes from other factions for gold, but you'll always be stuck with that first hero with the same class (unless you make a custom race). However, each class is unique and refreshing to play. I enjoyed all of them, which is unusual for me.
    Get out there and give these guys your money. I recommend the founder's pack, which is still for sale on steam... the game has a lot of heart, and it's obvious that these guys care about their player base.    … Expand

Each race has an introduction video @ Amplitude Website. You may watch all of the videos before you choose your clan, it helps much. The Research Menu of EL is the most comprehensive one I've ever seen! It contains almost everything you may think of. Thanks to Amplitude there's an introduction mode in the game from which you can learn the basics of the EL. And about the soundtrack, I must say that FlybyNo has done a good job.

    Endless Legend (EL) is a very ambitious simultaneously turn based new 4X (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate) strategy game in a fantasy setting by Amplitude studios (Endless Legend, Dungeon of the Endless). The general setting is unusual, as you're stranded on the planet Auriga that has been a favoured laboratory of a powerful precursor race, the Endless, until they erased themselvesEndless Legend (EL) is a very ambitious simultaneously turn based new 4X (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate) strategy game in a fantasy setting by Amplitude studios (Endless Legend, Dungeon of the Endless). The general setting is unusual, as you're stranded on the planet Auriga that has been a favoured laboratory of a powerful precursor race, the Endless, until they erased themselves from existence in a large civil war.
    Now, you take control of one out of 8 standard factions or any custom faction you create in an editor, using the basic gameplay of one of the 8 with some modifiers. Your goal is to survive as Auriga is slowly drifting towards an everlasting winter that will snuff out all life left on its surface. There are several victory conditions you can fulfill, ranging from "bucket"-type conditions like gathering enough currency or being the highest in score at a configurable turn limit to fulfilling a quest and building an expensive wonder, exterminating all concurrents or researching yourself to victory. Not all of these victory conditions are equally fun to reach as "filling a bucket" can be quite tedious, but the different factions are also specialised at reaching different victory conditions.
    And this is where EL is ambitious in the sense that its 8 factions are very asymmetrically designed:
    - The Wild Walkers are the not so usual Elves of the game, using woods to boost their industrial proficiency. They get to be the production powerhouse of the game.
    - The Vaulters are the survivors of the Dungeon of the Endless game, stranded on the planet. Hightech-dwarfs of a sort with heavy armor and the best science output.
    - The Rowing Clans are supposed to be the traders of the planet. They cannot declare war, are better than the NSA at finding out who's selling or buying what to a common marketplace you can get access to by research, and can actually even trade-ban people, bleeding them dry, economically.
    - The Drakken are the peacekeepers, a draconid race interested in achieving diplomatic victory by using their influence to force whole empires into peace or alliance with them.
    - The Ardent Mages can use spells on the map and in combat. Given enough currency, a weak army of them can still beat a superior foe with enough magic support fire.
    - The Necrophage do not do anything but feed, war and reproduce. Peace is not an option, as is not conquering. The Zergs of the planet, indeed.
    - The Broken Lords are living armors thinking of themselves as paladins and leeching life like vampires. Lorewise, one of my favourites, their gameplay is centered on currency to buy population with.
    - The Cultists of the Eternal End have only one city and expand by converting minor faction villages across the planet to generate troops for them and to harvest resources for them.

    In general, this asymmetry is what makes the game nice, but it is also its vulnerability. As each faction plays differently, the AI also has to account for that. During the Early Access phase, the AI made huge jumps and has become a threat to the unwary at higher difficulty levels, now, but still fails in the endgame. It doesn't recognize that, given it is close to winning, the human player in the game will go to lengths to eradicate them. On the other hand, in the beginning, different AI personalities shine through. Around the Ardent Mages, there's always a lot of scorched earth destroyed minor faction villages, while Wild Walkers spread and pacify, instead. I'm quite confident that this will improve, further, but I rate what's present, now.
    Therefore I downright recommend to play this game in multiplayer. The simultaneous turns allow for fast games, compared to other titles. You can set turn timers and therefore force people to be fast, or give each and everyone as much time as they want, but a long game would last 4 hours, at most, on fast speed settings.
    Even there, though, the asymmetry of the game design has its dangers. You can equip your units with better and better equipment through the ages, having to use strategic resources on the map to get the very best, but there's a clear preference for some attributes being far better than others. Some units you gain by assimilating minor factions (you can then build their units and get some bonus per controlled village of that faction) are better than standard units and certainly better than most other units on the planet. I'm thinking of e.g. Kazanjii demons or Haunts of the Ended here, both having a chain hit special ability.
    One thing I have to add about the techtree: It is not linear, there's no clear progression. In each "era", you have to choose at least x technologies, then you progress to the next era. Each time you research something, the cost for the next research increases, no matter the era its out of.

    Overall, the game has a lot of depth for someone who favours empire management over combat. There's still lots of balancing and AI-tuning to do, but the game is fun and I recommend it.    … Expand

    What I like about Endless Legend is that they have made innovations in the genre. The combat system is a good example of this, it allows semi real time combat at your own pace during your turn. This creates a tactical battles while allowing the turn based part of the game not to suffer and the pace of the game is still good. The world of Auriga and the world generator is also top notch. The map itself looks like a board game map and the region system creates interesting mechanisms for example with quests. The artwork is beautiful and reminds me of old role-playing book artwork of monsters.

    The balance of the game is not yet perfect, but very much playable. The AI hopefully can become even better and finally the multiplayer out of syncs needs to be fixed. I also wish for much more features, for example team game and setting positions in multiplayer and better victory conditions and solving the age old question of how to make the game fun even for players loosing the victory race. In a sense the victory condition thus could use some work.

    Finally the developer has a history of continuing developing the game and releasing free content so in time this game can become even greater. I have not influenced my score based on this merit but I think it should be mentioned.

    I think any fan of the turn based strategy genre should avail of the opportunity to play Endless Legend as it brings a lot of fresh ideas to the table and could keep your spark and interest for turn based games alive.    … Expand

Instead of building a city anywhere, the player can build only one city per region, which means initial placement of cities is especially important. Instead of limiting cities to a certain size on the strategic map, as in Civ, this game allows one to expand the physical boundaries of cities. Fallen Enchantress had a similar feature, but it's better-implemented here; it's very satisfying to expand one's "boroughs" and watch one's city grow across the map.

    Endless Legend has an unusual tech design, too; instead of following one tree, the player has some freedom to skip techs to progress from one age to the next, which promises more replayability.

    And the game has an interesting tactical combat system, too. The player gives one set of orders at turn start, but those orders may or may not be followed, because the game processes the turn in "initiative" order, meaning that your slower troops may have obsolete orders once it's their turn to move.

    Endless Legend also features a stronger AI than its predecessor, Endless Space. That said, it's not realistic to expect Deep Blue in this genre; the map and battlefields are too complex for a chess-like AI But for me, at least, the AI gives me a good game.

Каждый город производит пыль (местный аналог денег), еду, производство, науку и очки влияния. Карта из шестиугольников и у каждого шестиугольника разная высота, что вносит разнообразие в геймпей. По ходу игры будут квесты, прокачка юнитов в армиях и героев - для них есть полноценное дерево прокачки, т.е. из героя можно либо сделать (и назначить) крутого губернатора для города с огромным бонусом к росту города или производству, либо сделать крутым войном-генералом для армии).

    Бои между армиями происходят почти так-же, как в Героях меча и магии/King's Bounty, но могут происходить и в авторежиме, с выбором желаемой тактики(атака, защита, отступление).

    В игре присутствует конструктор юнитов. Т.е. после открытия новых технологий брони или оружия, различные классы войнов можно и нужно вручную их вооружить всем этим.

    Графика и музыка завораживают, хотя в этой игре это не галвное. А главное, что геймплей отличный. Но к сожалению это ещё только альфа-версия, и есть маленькие баги, но вроде как всё уже играбельно. Посмотрим, что еще сделают, а пока - мир еще не знает моей цивилизации, пожелайте удачи в его завоевании (:

    В итоге эта 4-х стратегия очень похожа на Цивилизацию 5, на Героев меча и магии и на Endless Space и, если вы фанаты какой-либо из этих серий, вам она вполне может очень понравиться.    … Expand

Currently Endless Legend is my new favorite 4X game! While not perfect, Amplitude is doing many things right here and breaking some new ground without straying too far from the 4X roots.

    I played their first game Endless Space and enjoyed it a lot, but found it somewhat lacking in a way I can't describe. I guess it felt kind of dull. I feel like Endless Legend is an evolution of all of the good ideas they came up with from Endless Space and is the 4X game I've been waiting for.

    Gameplay wise if you've played Civ 5 you probably know the basics of what is going on here. Found a Civilization, explore, meet new city-states and cultures, grow your empire, crush your enemies, etc. While this could easily just be another Civ knockoff Amplitude does a lot to both improve the Civilization experience, and make their own game.

    Here are some of the coolest features I found:
    -The notifications: seriously, every 4X game should steal this idea because the way Amplitude implements notifications makes playing something like Civ with it's silly action bubbles seem like playing in the stone age of games.
    -The Quests: the ruins and questing system is seriously cool. This adds a whole new element to the genre that make each game feel unique. While not quite "emergent storytelling" they do a lot to help you build your own story which is impressive in a 4X game.
    -The equipment loadouts: loot loot loot!
    -The world & Races: I really like how a lot of the races differ from the standard Tolkien staples. I also really liked how each race played very differently. Normally things like race in a 4X game gives you slightly different units or maybe steers you towards favoring one path over another, but here the racial choice really matters. Some of the races play a radically different game which I really like.
    -The lack of perfect balancing: Amplitude has come out and said that they're never going to perfectly balance the game in order to encourage experimentation. This seriously fills my heart with joy. I'm an atypical 4X player, I prefer diversity and extermination in my play instead of perfecting a singular strategy. The way the game is balanced this is actually encouraged and I love it

    Overall if you don't like 4X games Endless Legend is not going to change your mind, but if you're even a casual 4X player I highly recommend you check this out.    … Expand

The addition of Heroes and equipment of both heroes and units is a very nice feature and is worked out fairly balanced, where is takes consideration to make your units stronger, at the cost of more time to produce and more cost in general.

    The factions are very different and must be played completely different. For instance, the Broken Lords don't need food to maintain their ranks and cities, but everything costs more Dust (the 'money' in E.L.) . This, plus very different world settings and lay-outs, make the replayability very high and fun to do. With most 4X games, playing with different factions only means alittle bit of difference in units, but in E.L. the abilities, strengths, weaknesses and sometimes way bigger characteristics make a very big difference.

    Very stable game with lot of variety, it only can take some time to fully get used to the mechanics. But if you have played a couple 4X games before, you have no problem playing it after the short tutorial.    … Expand

    My only REAL beef with the game is that the incredibly slow pace of things can put you many, many hours into a scenario before you realize that you are hopelessly outclassed and that it's time to kill the current game and try again. But even so, I have deliberately played out a doomed game that I had no chance of winning simply because I felt invested enough in the world of my tiny, digital people and wanted to see more of their struggles play out.    … Expand

    Endless Legend is at its core a reskin of Endless Space: the game is a prequel of sort, has basically the same mechanics and it's based on quirky interesting factions. This is of course not a bad thing per se, what Endless Legend lacks in originality it makes up with solid gameplay, faction uniqueness and gorgeous graphics.

This is of course not a bad thing per se, what Endless Legend lacks in originality it makes up with solid gameplay, faction uniqueness and gorgeous graphics. The game talks about the dying planet of Auriga and the struggle of various empires for domination and a way to leave said planet. In fact you have a thousand years or so to complete your journey.

    Endless Legend is "fantasy", but its lore is firmly set in the Endless Space universe, so in reality we are talking about "sci-fi" dressed as "fantasy".

    Every faction has its own rules: i.e. the Vaulters favour research and have unique technologies, while the Broken Lords don't need food and can only increase their own population by spending Dust, and so on. This makes every playthrough radically different from the other, so you are forced to learn new strategies and need a different approach to similar problems.

    The graphics are simply gorgeous, nothing groundbreaking, but everything is detailed and there is an awesome amount of polishing in every art asset: from the design of units to the static illustrations. The map is full of details and beauty, but also astonishing in its clarity.

    As for the game itself, well it's your typical 4X strategy game; if you have played Endless Space you'll become familiar soon yet there are some differences that are worthy exploring. The most evident is that Auriga's map is divided in regions and for every one of those only one great city can be built; so it is vital to chose the right ones for colonization and to acquire the resources you need. Building units and structures is similar to your typical 4X game, but you can also build "boroughs" to expand a city resource production (and territory claimed) or mining villages to acquire special resources.

    Battles can be fought in an automated manner or over an exagonal grid based of the region you are fighing in. Always choose the latter solution as sometimes you can have staggering losses even when you have a clear advantage over your enemy.

    Another interesting take is that you will encounter minor factions that resemble your typical fantasy monsters like dwarves, orks, demons and so one. They work in a manner akin to the "city states" system seen in Civilization 5. You can (and you should) "pacify" those minor factions which lives in your regions and assimilate them in your culture, this way you can get a bonus depending on the faction and you can build unique units.

    As for the game problems, well... it's painfully slow. Everything takes a HUGE amount of turns to build even if your entire production is well optimized; so a victory becomes a matter of patience. Moreover I got the impression that the AI has some kind of production boost when building units; that to me is a sign of a "cheap" enemy, but nothing serious and with the right strategy you can easily win (while something similar in Europa Universalis 2 was kinda game-breaking).

    But aside those minor problem EL reveals itself as a solid and fun experience, it's fascinating and charming, and a game that will easily drain hundreds of hours.    … Expand

Other reviews rightfully bring up some criticism such as balance and AI, which are components that in my opinion still way within the range of being playable, but will definitely be fixed in coming patches, as Amplitude is one of the most active and community-engaging companies. The foundation is set, and it is delightful. Other reviewers that expect perfect games from the initial release should realize that this is no longer the industry standard and they are living in nostalgia-land. The music and art are beautiful. The differentiation between the races is quite original and adds to the replay value. The game’s simultaneous turn system lends itself to multiplayer games taking hours not days, even for large games. The battle system, though not perfect and will likely see some tweaks in future patches, is inventive and lends itself to tactics not possible to other titles in the genre. The plethora of systems available to this game at launch makes it (not necessarily easy to learn, but definitely) a challenge to master. Such systems include: customizable heroes, a resource marketplace, changing seasons, battle reinforcements, minor faction assimilation, quests, unit equipment, battle spells, trade routes, consumable luxury resources, etc...

    On a final technical note, from a mac perspective this game runs smoothly for large games at high graphics settings, whereas comparably for civ 5, similarly sized games slowed to a crawl for even simple tasks like map scrolling on anything but the ugliest setting. Being that the upcoming Civ:BE is more or less a new facade using the same game engine, I expect it to be the same, i.e. nigh unplayable.    … Expand

    In fact, one major addition to the franchise is a new type of 'ressource' which is earned in accordance with how you play the game ! This is a major feat which gives a way more subtle game. Regarding this particular ressource, the different races are not equals and the game gains in terms of replayability and diversity. This is nothing but an addition which was missing it's predecessor.

    Finally and althought I personnaly experienced none, maybe the game will suffer frequent crashes and bugs on your computer. On the other hand, the game developer is remarkably well known to support it's games WAY beyond their initial release and in a good way as they always get in touch with the community and adapt their games' mechanics accordingly.

    All in one, this is a beautiful game which is is based on excellent grounds and it will certainly be thoughtfully updated by it's developer as long as the community asks for it ! For such a small price compared to oversold AAA games, this is a must go !!    … Expand

In Endless Legend, each race not only has completely different units, but forces the player to adopt radically new play styles, depending on the strengths and weaknesses and quirks of the race they're playing.

    It's basically Civilization with a fantasy theme. You have more lore and an interesting setting, but less factions and option. The diplomacy and other themes are better done, yet the combat isn't as good or tactical as Civ. It's a fun game that any 4X fan should check out.

The factions are very different and dramatically change your playstyles and priorities to a point that a playthrough as the "Broken Lords" is entirely different from a playthrough as the "Roving Clans".

    Your units and heroes are customizable though you are limited by your faction to certain types... with that said you can also conquer other minor factions, absorb them, then customize their units to fill any gaps in your armies. There are several different minor factions too so it feels pretty well filled out.

    You expand your cities by building them out.. so it's a pretty neat system where as your population expands a la Civilization you don't get an expansion in your influence area but instead are able to build additions to sprawl your city out to utilize more resources. Kind of a neat twist on the Civilization system of expansion.

    If I had to try to chop away at enthusiasm for this game I'd say you need a decent machine to run it because in the later stages of the game it can get pretty hard on your system resources, even chugging some systems to a complete halt and prevent you from finishing the game. I'd also say the graphics are... I don't know... not dated but maybe just a little bland?

    If the point of the game is very similar to Civilization (you choose one of the paths to victory, being as usual military, culture, science, domination, etc.), its gameplay is original and creative. The factions are very different and will affect your victory possibilities, some of them are really crap at combat, others can't even colonize new regions.

    Talking about combat, it is very well thought. As soon as you enter a battle, by moving your army against another, the 'normal' gameplay stops and you're taken to the field of battle, which is a real field, with mountains blocking your way and everything. You can pick 'auto' mode for the 9 vs 1 battles, but when your army of 10 men encounter another army of 10 men, the way you position your troops become very relevant, and you can sometimes win by just being smarter than your opponents.

    It's time-consuming, addictive, well if you've made it that far, I know you know what I'm talking about. One...last...turn...

    Other novelty, the heroes. They can lead your army like generals or improve your city as governors. They can be customized at the point you can choose their gear, skills, like a mini RPG-feature, and they count as an extra super-unit in battles. Same happens for armies, you can customize your units. They'll cost more if you add a shield, a chestplate, but they'll be more efficient. Also, you can rename them, which might be a funny feature in multiplayer.

    Now I gave it a 8 because of 2 things. First of all, the set up of a multiplayer game can be very time-consuming at the beginning. The forums are full of people not being able to play at all, being stuck in loading screens all the time. Second bad point, as I'm not playing in English, some parts have not been translated at all, which might be problematic for some people, it gives a small sensation of an unfinished game.

    Other than that, it's a must-try for every Civilization fan, it is new, fresh, with nice music, nice colours, and lots of customization.

    Now one tip to the new players, choose your starting faction carefully, some are very difficult to play with, and build armies to protect your cities, because 2 little soldiers to defend a fortified city is not enough, you'll lose it in one turn !    … Expand

Just know that this game is unique in his style. Don't expect a "Civilization in Fantasy Themed universe". Just don't do it. Don't expect a Warlock or an Age of Wonders like of game. It's really a unique game.

    Generally I buy a game not by reading positive reviews but reading the few bad ones. If the bad ones make sense, I will not buy the game. So I kinda feel I have to step in to warn people not to read the bad marks which do not make sense. I mean none of them do...

    Most of the people complaining complain because of the Combat system. The combat is... Special. It looks like Combat Mission: you provide orders. Validate them. Then your units will try to comply with your orders.

    Units with the highest Initiative will execute orders first. So here comes the fuss: you play the Broken Lords (within the smallest Initiative), set all your orders. Enemy plays first since it has the highest initiative. This means: the enemy troops are not where they were at the beginning of the turn. Their troops attacked your mobile forces that cannot move anymore since they have been attacked. Their troops are now out of reach and none of your order is executed like you planned them to be because, as a result, your troops are now blocked, they don't execute the orders as required since they cannot do it anymore (out of reach, blocked...).

    Now you are frustrated because your troops have the lower initiative and every single turn none of your orders are executed like you wanted them to be. Your troop needed to attack an enemy that is now out of reach to it moved to get close to it while another enemy was just nearby. And you rage!! “HAAA stupid system! What is this game? If I was able to command the troop I would have attacked this target, not the first one!”

    But are you frustrated because the game is stupid? Because the game is badly optimised? No… That is the way the game functions. And if you want to win, to enjoy this game, you need to adapt your play style with the game.

    Now, 3 cases:

    Case number 1: you are a moron (like most of the people bad-marking this game) and say "hey, this is too simplistic"; "why I cannot provide orders, this is **** "the enemy plays first and I cannot do anything". “InstaRefund”. bla bla bla... You are only misleading people…

    Case number 2: you say: "ho what a pity. I would have a preferred a system like Heroes of Might and Magic, where the highest initiative starts, but I can command each troop, one by one and take action upon the situation like it is on this very moment. I don’t like this style, I find it boring, so I didn’t enjoy the game”. This you can do. You could have preferred another combat system. Everyone has its own tastes. But the combat system is NOT EASY, NOT STUPID, IS NOT FLAWED. The combat system is very specific and we come to...

    ... Case number 3: you understand how the combat system works and you get adapted to it. You think and take strategies on that.

    JUST THINK!!! It is a Strategy Game requiring you to use your brain.

    Let’s take this case where you play with Broken Lords, with very low initiative troops. You will need strategy: You know the last playing troops, frontlined hand-to-hand combat troop will probably only defend. So what you do? Set "defense" or "on hold" and ask to attack a troop. If your troop is being attacked, and it probably will, it will defend and stay where it is. If your troop has not been attached: suppose the pointed enemy that troop is at reach, good, your unit will attack. If not, it will stand where it is and attack another nearby enemy. If there is no troop at hand it may not attack and just stay there doing nothing, but at least your troop will not move and screw the positioning for the next turn.

    You know the last playing troop; in the back; that needs to go to the Front will probably not be able to attack the enemy you pointed since that enemy will have moved first. So set only a movement, in aggressive behaviour. Place them where you would like to be. Best case an enemy troop will be at reach and will be attacked. Worst case, no enemy is at hand and your troop won't attack. But at least it will be positioned where you wanted it to be positioned, allowing you, on the next turn to plan a better attack.

    If you take Broken Lords, with low initiative, overall, you know that the strategy to be adopted is a defensive strategy: infantry in line, no initiative, backing each other. Second line, put your mages, that are support firing troops and that heal adjacent troops. Cavalry, more mobile, not very quick on initiative must only be used to flank enemies when the opportunity is good: and the opportunity will be one in a battle-time. Make no mistake: a bad order will screw everything. Great game    … Expand

I certainly wasn't wrong, much of the same experience I had in CIV V is present here, but there's a lot more added to this one. It's sophisticated - there's a lot of strategies to use and planning to consider when developing your empire. Approaches vary significantly depending on the faction you're playing, which adds plenty of replayability. Other good features: tons of different resources (many with booster effects that are so good they're worth going to war over), marketplace to sell or purchase heroes or resources (there's also mercenaries, but investing in those didn't ever seem to be beneficial), competitive battle AI, prioritizing in the tech tree development (in CIV V it was pretty much linear), storyline quests that can return significant benefits like powerful weapons for heroes or faction-wide benefits. And there's plenty more laudable features.

    There are some downsides though. First one was more troublesome when first starting the game - you have much less control in battles and in the beginning that can be an annoyance when you can't get things to go the way you wanted. Eventually you'll begin to understand the movements and see that the combat effectiveness trade-off for initiative (the characteristic that determines when an unit can make their move) is a neat strategy element.

    To point out a more serious issue I had, I'd prefer to describe how one my campaigns went down.
    I quit playing the game after a while and don't want to go back to it. Mainly because there's something going on with the campaign AI and it put me off the game for good. I played a campaign on the hardest difficulty (endless), 8 players, with only elimination victory enabled (conquer all enemy provinces). Now I remember **** about how hard the harder difficulties were when I first tried them last summer (called it "impossible and retarded"), but it looks like there is a significant luck factor involved that determines whether your campaign goes well or not. Basically I got lucky this time and without sacrificing too much, at the beginning of the game I laid down 6 or 7 cities before my expansion options were closed by enemy factions. Spent a good 100 turns just building, researching etc. And all this time I was surprised that nobody had come to f*ck me up like they used to when I first played this difficulty. My military was terribly weak until I got bored and started pumping resources into armies. Soon enough I was ready to go and capture my first city. Didn't meet too much resistance, managed to take them by surprise and immediately settle a truce with them. And here's one problem: A lot of the times powerful factions get "exhausted" very fast. That means that they're much more willing to submit to your demands in diplomacy for truce. Therefore you can pretty much play according to your own rules. I then learned that the city I conquered was much more developed than any of mine were and since conquering it didn't have any serious repercussions, I figured it was time to quit the pacifistic gameplay and just invest in war. Bla bla bla, eventually you'll have figured out the main weakness of the AI - they're easily taken by surprise and you can capitalize on it without bearing serious repercussions. After a while my elimination campaign turned into a grind and I quit. Therefore I'd recommend keeping the other victory conditions enabled and (except score - that can end your dozen-hour campaign unexpectedly) let the game function as a whole - then the faction specializations can shine. The AI may not be balanced enough to deal with limited victory conditions.    … Expand

    Beautiful game with lots of replay value since each empire has very different characteristics. The game on harder difficulty starts off imbalanced because the AI is way overpowered, and by the end of the game, if you compound the right tech and buildings, you become way stronger than the AI no matter the difficulty setting. Still, this is one of the better 4X games I've ever played.

    High quality 4x that does a lot different to mixed effect. The region system and citty development systems were excellent, to the point that Civ adopted the latter eventually. Factions are unique and have contained narratives that can get fairly involved, and they each play and expand differently. Diplomacy is a bit limited and turn-based battles quickly grow grating.
