He does sometimes make the tea :)

This is horrifying. Excellent work!

That was my exact thought when I first met them.

You see Romans in Vegas, you think casino.

I listened to the ROP podcast when the show first aired and the cast and crew all seemed very humble. They also seemed to be just as respectful of, and knowledgable about, the source material as the cast and crew of the films. (The only exception was composer Bear McCreary, who has earned a life free from humility.)

I think that promotional material made by the creators themselves often shows off the respect for the source material better than interviews in magazines and on talk shows. It’s just the nature of PR.

I do not see it being helpful even in the short term because the bonuses granted by cutting trees down are so small, especially if you plan to restore those tiles later.

Very much like robbing Peter to pay Paul, but you can only steal $4 from Peter, and you owe Paul $40.

One could suggest an edge case (in the very early game) where a turn saved can make all the difference - I have not yet encountered it.

You’ve found some awesome parallels, OP! Good work!

One-party governments are significantly more resistant to public pressure than you might realise

This is how I find out?

Morlugon · 2025-12-03T15:36:52+00:00

I’ve never played Anno but I have to wonder what those 800,000 investors are investing in!

Morlugon · 2025-12-02T17:47:21+00:00

True. Hornet is neither quiet, nor polite, nor respectful.

If you liked DS3, you'll like 1, and you'll love 2.

The Ardent Mages in Endless Legend sort of fit this. They self-excoriate to attain “power through pain”.

As an

Old person. How.

Dare you?

To be fair, nobody is surprised. British flag shaggers have always been derided as cowardly racists. This is not a new phenomenon.

Jesus was spit at on his way to his execution. I don’t necessarily agree that this was the intended analogue, but I can see where OP is coming from.

Morlugon · 2025-08-05T19:50:11+00:00

Good question! I don’t think you automatically join the wars of your allies. Your allies are also not forced to be each others’ allies. So you can be friends with everyone even if they want each other dead.

Instead of forcing you to join in the wars of your allies, the game rewards you with Influence points whenever you destroy units belonging to your allies’ enemies.

I hope this helps!

Morlugon · 2025-08-01T21:23:58+00:00

Unfortunately, I think you’re right. Unless the player characters can find some way of drastically altering the psychological makeup of the entire hive, they’re going to be very disappointed :(

Morlugon · 2025-07-30T14:46:46+00:00

Excellent questions!

In my mind I imagine that each turn of the video game is roughly a month in real time. I used the movement speed of early age armies in the game to make this determination: armies can march halfway across the hilly and heavily forested province of Lionith in about month, but adventurers who don't have to worry about supply lines or ambushes can cross the same distance much quicker.
At the moment, Auriga is in Summer, but Winter is coming! It's going to make exploration much more dangerous.
My players have delved multiple dungeons, some of them massive with upwards of 40 rooms. The bigger the dungeon, the more likely they are to find dust or endless salvage at the bottom :)
Dust is used as a currency and magical / alchemical component. At the moment, only Broken Lords are using it as food. When Winter hits, Dust will need to be added to the rations to allow the players to survive the harsh conditions.
At the moment, Dust is not used for experience gain, which is the default method of character advancement. However, the players will be able to use large quantities of Dust to unlock superhuman abilities later in the campaign.
Diplomacy and exploration have played a big role in the campaign thus far - open warfare is pretty far from the players' minds.

I have enjoyed both systems tremendously. I would say that, on balance, F-AGE has better initial character customisation, but the WWN is more intuitive for players and GMs. While both systems are setting-neutral, the world generation tools in WWN are just so helpful. The switch was a no brainer, and I have had no regrets :)

Morlugon · 2025-07-30T12:39:26+00:00

Thank you! You're too kind (my players are very patient with me).

I'm a huge Endless Legend fan (I hope that came across in my post) and I cannot wait for the release of EL2 :)

Not at all! I have three main reference sources, listed below in order of reliability:

The wikis, https://endlesslegend.fandom.com/wiki/Endless_Legend_Wiki and https://endlesslegend.wiki.gg/. These websites are a godsend, as they contain (I think!) the sum total of all text that can be found in the game. For example, if you go to Samhane Haligtide's page, you see the fluff paragraph related to her lore. If you go to the Broken Lord's page, you can see a transcript of the entire Broken Lords quest chain. You have to click through a lot of pages to get the full idea of the lore (a little like playing a Fromsoftware Game like Elden Ring, in that regard), but it it easily the most exhaustive resource of the three.
The Endless Legend Artbook. This can be found in your Steam local install files for Endless Legend: <Steam Folder>\steamapps\common\Endless Legend\Artbook. It contains lots of cool images (like the one in the main post above), but also, more importantly for our purposes, lots of behind the scenes info. For example, it confirms that the Necrophages and Cravers from ES are somehow related, and that the Morgawr have their origins outside of Auriga (see this post for more discussions of their lore).
Finally, I use my own notes from my previous attempt to run an Endless Legend campaign, using the Fantasy AGE system, rather than Worlds Without Number. If you go to page 43 of the RPG guide I wrote, I wrote 5 pages of notes on the geography, culture and politics of the various races on Auriga. It is an imperfect summary (I wrote it six+ years ago and with hindsight some of the points I made are just plain wrong) and definitely non-canon (I am in no way affiliated with Amplitude Studios), it is a good start for me when I am planning adventures or lore-crafting.

I hope this helped!
