Endless Legend is a very complex strategy and although many will compare it to the famous Civilizations, it introduces many innovative ideas and solutions. I also get the impression that it is much more difficult, because the world in which we are building our party is beginning to die. Every now and then winter is coming and it takes away almost all our food resources and income. Each subsequent winter is even longer and harder to survive.
It is not enough that something belongs to our territory to draw on this resource, and there are no workers who will build us mines and steelworks. We have people who can increase the overall construction process, agriculture, science, etc., but to create more of them we need a lot of food. Even if we have already defined a development path, we still have to give it up more than once in order to build shelters for the winter, or perhaps to put food supplies aside. Diplomacy is not just talk-and-tell either, but every decision we make to a different faction costs us the influence we have to generate first. So we are still balancing between the available options, different development in winter, different priorities in summer. And there are also heroes who have their own way of development, who reach levels, and our task is to produce armor for them. Do we choose the path of peace? Our heroes have low lvl and if someone attacks us, we can lose - everything has to be considered. Add the idea of smaller factions that can assimilate and modify their war units, the plan of the imprium, which allows you to choose what you will be dealing with through the upcoming rounds, the market and... If you want to talk a lot, you just have to check it yourself.
The types of victories are similar to those in Civilizations: diplomatic, by domination, scientific, etc. However, it may take some time to figure out all these options and.... Good, because the strategy should be a challenge. And this challenge is still taking place in a really beautiful scenery.
