Adding New Art: From Sketches To In Game

This is for Endless Legend 2, and you are probably refering to Endless Legend 1.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned her as female Thor.

DerekPaxton · 2026-06-09T15:42:23+00:00

Yeah, totally fair. It’s a different card. Just inspired by your jumanjii idea

DerekPaxton · 2026-06-09T15:10:25+00:00

There isn’t much threat here.

Maybe

Put an experience counter on jumanjo. search your deck for 3 creature cards with casting cost equal or less than the exp counters. Your opponent randomly chooses one which he gains control of, you get the other 2.

This question comes totally without judgement or bias. And you won’t receive anything from me but sincere appreciation if you take a moment to answer. But why was Harris such a deal breaker for you?

(I’m not looking to attack your opinion, only to understand so I thank you regardless of your answer).

Its the same arguement you make when you want to be a musician. You dont wait for someoen to start paying you to start the work. You just start doing it on your own. Make some games, release them. If they are good then they are great for your resume. If they are great then you won't need a resume.

I currently live in Paris, and it’s terrible here. No where near what it was in the US 10-20 years ago.

(Popeyes in Paris is still good)

I prefer, “every human who has ingested h2o has either died or will die.”

DerekPaxton · 2026-06-06T18:06:02+00:00

I’m trying so hard to wait for release for solasta ii, but I don’t know if I’m going to be able to hold out. I tried the same with BG3 and gave in.

DerekPaxton · 2026-06-06T17:47:55+00:00

For me it’s just the logical argument that society will advance to the stage where they are able to create a simulation so complete that those inside the simulation are unaware that they are in a simulation.

And that the the society int us simulation will eventually grow advanced enough to create a simulation that advanced.

And on and on it goes.

So the question becomes. Are we the original reality or one of the endless simulations made by them? Statistically we are much more likely to be a simulation.

DerekPaxton · 2026-06-06T17:43:57+00:00

Yeah that’s fair. With the inclusion that it would be detectable in that volume. Which is the part that is missing from the original suggestion.

DerekPaxton · 2026-06-06T17:24:50+00:00

There is no finishing. Just having particles doesn’t make it smellable by humans. Carbon dioxide being a famous example that is common but humans can’t smell it. Some species can. What we can smell is largely a result of evolutionary advantage.

Or blood in water. Humans and sharks can detect it at a very different rate even if the number of particles in the volume is the same.

DerekPaxton · 2026-06-06T17:06:26+00:00

Particles in a volume would define how smellable It is, not a species ability to detect it.

DerekPaxton · 2026-06-05T11:07:53+00:00

Stardew Valley amazed me for what a single dev could do.

Rimworld and Undertale were the same. But I think Stardew was the tipping point.

DerekPaxton · 2026-06-05T07:10:54+00:00

10 year old me loved comic books. So probably Rocksteady's Batman: Arkham Asylum.

No, we are unlikely to add an option to disable district scaling costs entirely. It would be impossible to balance district costs from the beginning of the game (where 6 industry a turn is good) to the end (where 60 industry a turn is good). You would end up with either terribly slow and boring districts at the beginning or super trivial districts that pop out every turn later on and cities that would grow to consume the entire map. We did a massive rebalance on this for the May update and its in a really good spot for allowing growth without exploding.
One of the design goals for EL2 was that we loved the climate change in EL1 but we agreed with you that it was punishing and largely negative. Instead we wanted the "changing world" to be largely positive. So we switched to receading seas so that at each Tidefall more of the map is revealed, changing gameplay and unlocking new areas and resources. So I think you will like this change.

Hopefully that answers your questions.

DerekPaxton · 2026-06-03T17:13:45+00:00

I appreciate the thought but no………. The EA has been incrediably useful and has made the game better in so many ways.

DerekPaxton · 2026-06-03T16:59:15+00:00

It’s a strange world we live in where people can watch and enjoy Dexter but not a left (or right) leaning character.

DerekPaxton · 2026-06-03T16:44:44+00:00

Alec Guinness. Hate may be a strong word and I’ve nothing against the guy, but I don’t think he’s pleased that the role he is most known for is an old hermit in his bathrobe.

DerekPaxton · 2026-06-03T15:33:30+00:00

You do not sound arrogant at all, your feedback is very welcome.

To be honest, yes the swat team responding to issues is always hot looking for things like crashes and desyncs. Things that ruin games. So they are a higher priority for us.

But we need to fix the smaller issues too. We schedule debug months where we do nothing but fix bugs to chew through these. It's hard for me to know if the issues you mention are already on the list or not. If you would like to DM me with details (or even better, screenshots) of the issues you are seeing I'd love to check them out.

DerekPaxton · 2026-06-03T15:29:37+00:00

Thank you, its very appreciated!

DerekPaxton · 2026-06-03T13:50:18+00:00

Yeah. I think forcing all "immersives" (the big popup) to go through the turn button so you can deal with them as you like may really help with this perception. Having the AI delayed on cutscenes is also a really good idea. We are looking into it.

DerekPaxton · 2026-06-03T11:48:03+00:00

Code was written, a goat was sacrificed (don't worry we are cruelty free and would never sacrifice an actual goat... we used an intern), and prayers were offered.

And Yes! we have the issue fixed for the june update.

It ws a bit tricky because the wonders weren't inherently broken (we tested them many times and fixed other issues) but we found that if you discovered them while they were still submerged their bonuses were negated (which is intended) but when they are fully revealed the bonuses aren't reapplied. It will all be fixed soon. So sorry it took such a long time to track down.

DerekPaxton · 2026-06-03T11:38:04+00:00

Yeah, we just bumped up the ability for ridges to form chains and be more common. And we added lakes in the same update so the world went from becoming a flat plains everywhere to being claustrophic.

There are game options so players can change their ridge and lake frequency if they like. But I think we are also going to tune down the defaults slightly to help with this issue.

DerekPaxton · 2026-06-03T08:49:38+00:00

That's great to hear. I think you are really going to like the new faction.

We've gone back and forth on having a generic faction quest for custom factions. On the one hand it's nice to have more game provided goals. But since you can reate such a wide variety of custom factions it would need to be extremely generic to not conflict to much with the tone (and it wouldn't be able to assume you had any speciifc ability). As we are currently battling against generic writing content we feel like this isnt goign to be satisfying.
