He must know his transformation to Sseth is inevitable so he started churning out as many videos as he can before he succumbs to Mbeke.
Bonus round: There've been two extra expansions since this video went up, which were stated to be the last for the game. Inferno adds volcanic regions, which produce insane amounts of industry, but no food. Also, they prevent all unit regen and have lava rivers that melt armies that cross them. It also adds dust eclipses, which have a chance of happening once each summer. During a dust eclipse, the entire map becomes the aurora borealis, dust clouds descend upon the map which hide anyone inside, and all temple and sunken ruins can be searched again. Confluxes spawn on the map similar to pearls, giving a substantial boost to health, damage, or speed to any army that picks them up for the rest of the eclipse. Also, every faction gets a unique effect during the eclipse. These are absurdly strong. We're talking Vaulters teleporting entire armies to lone heroes, Wild Walkers seeing the location of all armies in the game, and Necrophages getting McDonalds toy units with their Food Stockpile Happy-Meals just to name a few. The new faction is the Kapaku, a bunch of alien migrants. They used to live on a nice volcanic planet, but then the Sowers, a terraforming faction of religious eusocial robots made by Virtual Endless (which also feature as a major faction in ES1 and a very strong minor faction in ES2), showed up and started turning it into a horrible green ball. The Concrete Endless, seeing this, decided to move them to Auriga, a horrible green ball with far more volcanoes than what the Sowers would leave behind. In terms of gameplay, the Kapaku's unique shtick is that they are the only faction that can get food from volcanic terrain, and they get a lot! They're also the only major faction that can regenerate in volcanoes and swim in lava (the minor faction of daemons was updated to have this capability). They can even spend strategic resources to convert non-volcanic tiles into nice burnt ones. Also, did I mention that their mainline infantry unit has no upkeep? To compensate for all this, they can ONLY get food from volcanic terrain. This severely limits their expansion opportunities, and forces you to prioritize strategic resources as though you were a Vaulter in order to get more land once all the volcanoes are taken up. Fortunately, they can create golem districts disconnected from the city proper, so that they can get the best out of a weirdly shaped or non-volcanic region early without breaking the bank on strategics. The last expansion, Symbiosis, adds the Urkans. These are three gigantic bug monsters that tunnel out of the ground over the course of the campaign, occupying an entire region and shedding lice that cause destruction for everyone around Cloverfield style. Every so often they tunnel around, to spread the love more evenly. Once a faction is strong or wealthy enough, they can either bribe the bug with luxuries or beat it into submission to tame the urkan, allowing them to control it. Once owned, they can either stay enrooted to lock down the region and siphon all of its resources for the empire, tunnel through the ground to resurface somewhere more useful, or uproot so that they and their lice can be used as an army. You can also spend luxuries to teach them neat tricks, like how to give all friendly cities next to them +50% food, dust, or +50 approval (or minus that for enemies), or cause earthquakes to damage enemy cities. The last major faction is the Mykara, which is literally just a gigantic fungus. Much like the Cult, they only have one city, but they don't expand just through minor faction villages. Instead, you can spend food to turn any resource or structure on the map into a fungal bloom over a few turns, giving the city its tile's FIDSI and providing a unique effect. More mundane structures, like villages, watchtowers, or resources, give you the standard bonuses, but the real good shit comes from the ruins. You can teleport your armies between any two ruin blooms instantaneously, which allows you to efficiently wage war, snipe urkans right before (or after) others get them, and generally be the only faction that can afford to ignore the ocean on non-pangaea maps. Also unlike the Cult, you don't instantly burn down enemy cities when conquered. Instead, you overgrow them, freezing all groeth and sending its tile FIDSI yields back to the home. Keep a city for long enough, and you get a symbiosis buff according to the faction. All in all, they highly incentivize military play - which is an issue, because their units are mediocre. Their biggest problem is that their primary damage dealer is a very squishy cavalry unit - meaning their core gets slaughtered by militia, which every city gets for free. In my time with them, I've found myself relying on urkans and minor factions to do the heavy lifting rather than my own units. One last thing about the Mykara is that they get absurdly better with other expansions. The second unique watchtower that you get with pearls from Shifters gives you the FIDSI of every tile around it instead of just its own, making you as much of a pearl hog as the Allayi, and their dust eclipse effect is the ability to instantly complete fungal blooms with Dust - an essential tool for spreading quickly.

Johnathan Severasse Food or no food don't really matter much. Once u master the way of making dust early and fast(broken lords heroes) rest could be done with stockpiles. Edit: Roving Clans Heroes Are highest dust makers when you have multiple cities with multiple trade routes.

Self-replicating whatnot u skip to pop 6 if u have 1 population with one stockpile of 1600 food costing only 400 dust on average at market. There are more ways to increase it further that u can skip to population 18 in a turn in one stockpile of food. Of course the yield gets slower as you get more population but it is fundamentally cheaper than the broken lords way. Talking about buildings it's definitely cheaper to build buildings with industry stockpile 1600 industry is an almost instant 1 turn done for nearly anything from era 1 to 3. Science stockpile is also out of the world 1600 science on average is 4-6 cities worth of science. But in the end all I was saying is that if you can make dust fast everything becomes easier and that "dust is how to rule them all"-roving clan guy.

You clearly miss Drakken strategy. Yeah, they are intended to be peaceful faction. But force to peace has one of best options to steal unguarded cities in one turn and just force peace right in the same turn as war was declared. Just be sure that other faction armies are far away. And here you have one of the dirtiest and powerful abilities, how to obliterate factions by peaces.

This game has an interesting aesthetic. Science Fiction characters in a High Fantasy setting. Refugees from a crashed spaceship going up against Ents and Golems etc.
It’s kinda fun when Mandalore makes a review about a game and then Sseth makes a sequel or sucessor, or vice versa. Both videos will be awesome and the back and forth is awesome
While I can't argue that the Drakken are pretty anti-fun most of the time, the amount of thought that went into how their society and architecture is structured is really clever and I have to give props to Amplitude for that.
Mandalore, I just found you but I love you already. Having the Endless Ocean theme (Hayley Westernra - Prayer) play while you're talking about ocean dwellers in game called Endless Legend... that is some deep meta!

It is immediately engaging and I spent maybe 5 hours yesterday really getting into a game to learn the dynamics before restarting and doing it all right. It's an enjoyable, difficult, infuriating but overall amazing game, thanks for the recommendation.

It's better than "right click to attack" but at the same time it's especially harsh in multiplayer waiting for battles. The main thing is you just click on who attacks who and wait, and their formations get messed up if an enemy unit dies in the fight and they auto readjust what they're doing. You have very little input once the combat starts. Like I said, it's not terrible, but it's a shame that it only reaches for adequate when everything else is well done

I agree too harsh. There are some benefits to this style of combat and I don't see it as inferior to an Age of Wonders or HoMM, but just different. War resolves much faster than thoe other games. Also the slight lack of control is immersive and freeing to a some extent. You are more like a general giving orders than someone who directly controls each pawn. Freeing because you know the chaos of battle can ruin your plans and it wasn't your fault. I like it for what it is. Maybe there could be some more clever tricks added to make it stand out a bit more though.

Managed to convince some of my friends to get it as well and its been an absolute blast seeing us all main a faction and learning their in's and out's. As of 1/11/19 its currently on sale on Humble Bundle along with two of the expansions and I'd definitely recommend picking it up.

11:23 They followed the Bionicle model of fan-inclusivity, honestly the most wholesome way to directly engage with your community imo. Contests that get everyone excited and creative, bouncing ideas off of each other and building each other up, leading to a fantastic final product quite often, one that the fanbase is "personally" connected with as a group.
The combat isn't as bad as he makes it seem. You have a fair bit of agency in placement, and you can choose which unit attacks which, as well as being able to manipulate each unit/hero to have stats that support your strategy. Also you can set combat speed to take less than a minute per battle.

They've added two races since this came out. Do you plan to update the video? They've already said this will be the last race added, so there is no chance of it going out of date if you do.
Looking around, there's apparently a Community Patch that vastly improves the AI. As someone who enjoys singleplayer 4X experience, that's important to me. Also, I love making the factions works very differently from each other compared to Civ. I think I'll finally check this game out...

This series has the best Soundtrack of any strategy game I've ever played, maybe any game series period. It can be kind of unassuming at first, but it's SO GOOD and I listen to it constantly even while playing other games.
I can hear that endless ocean soundtrack in the background
I HEARD THAT ENDLESS OCEAN MUSIC AND OH BOY THAT NOSTALGIA HURT
Love the risk of rain ost in the background
2-week release schedule is fucking fantastic. Loving all these new videos. Thanks Mandalore.
Dude your videos are so good :D
That yung lean reference! So glad i subscribed
2:08 Interesting, the song in the background is "Chanson d'automne" from the risk of rain OST. The one who made it is heavily against using it in media that isn't risk of rain related or directly related to the song. He's pretty efficient at finding videos with the song used in it, I am suprised this one managed to stay up.

The games you have reviewed are great and in detail, gives a person who have never played a deep look into it. A way grasp at what to expect, and you are unbiased, you which is always a good thing, you deserve more subs
Six years later and the game still holds up!
7:40 nice Thraddash music
I feel very thankful that you can make a 20m video about a fantasy strategy game but still drop kanye beats and yung lean references along with my favorite gachi
The wild walkers share genetic material with the beasts of Auriga. They're a little more than elves. They're really good in the early game due to their food and production bonuses, and this helps them build large cities which make them good later in the game as well because they're just getting more FIDSI from more city tiles and have greater population sizes which means even more FIDSI. Your army is quite defensive, you have the sharing to notice people through the fog of war when they enter your territory and your units include the longest-range archer in the game, a trent-like infantry unit, and a support unit with forest rage and bark skin buffs. You can do whatever you want with that FIDSI, including taking the wind out from under some city folk with their ideas of science and military supremacy, until it's time in the quest to build the wonder and take victory.
Gotta say, along with the great review, the choice of music is perfect
I watched this video, went to Steam, saw it on sale, and bought it.
I loved age of wonders 3 because of the combat. I can't play endless because I love great combat. Why can't the two studios come together and create "Endless Wonders." That game would consume life.

I played and enjoyed both games, but it is as you say - combat in AoW3 is the tits, whereas Endless Legend is autoresolve city.

I'd even say Civ 5 has superior combat to EL. It's simple and not super deep, but at least I get to control everything that happens and make tactical and strategic decisions.

Saw this comment browsing some Endless Legend reviews.....so what do you think of Age Of Wonders: Planetfall? To me it feels like a perfect mix of these two games!

The music around 2:20 is Chris Christodoulou - Chanson d'Automne.
This video sold me on the game, I got it two days ago and am having a lot of fun with the necrophage
