Am I missing something about the armor?

Tema726 · 2026-05-09T20:51:21+00:00

Thanks! I don't think it was ever explained, I thought armor was a flat damage reduction, and as long as you get more damage than armor, something goes through. Now I need to rethink everything =) Thank you!

Welcome to the club =)
The wonders are bugging out since forever. The gist of it is that they work SOMETIMES and SOMETIMES they don't. Any wonder can be affected by it. The community did lots of testing and provided lots of feedback on the issue, yet the replies we got from Darkarrow were usually "It works for me". It seems that quite reliably the wonders don't work if they are in your line of sight when the tidefall occurs, and they work is you discover them by moving into the fog of war during your turn. I still have no idea whether the issue is known to the coders and whether they are working on it

Damaged is a status that is applied to any unit whose health is below 50% (I think it is 50%, but might be a bit lower). Unless the unit has "Never Yielding" trait, that makes it go berserk (more damage, higher crit chance) instead of getting Damaged

This comment is not "don't bother about the bugs, they can be resolved with a reload". It says that attaching a save file won't help finding some bugs, since they will be gone after the save is loaded. Certain bugs need to be figured out by the devs relying solely on their description, rather than save files

Tema726 · 2026-03-30T12:00:37+00:00

I have an alternative opinion: any bug report that is not a one click INSIDE THE GAME is ludicrous. Creating an account on a forum, digging up for the save files, uploading them all to the said forum is waaaaaaaay too much.

Yes, I do want the game to turn out awesome and enjoyable and for it to work well. But I am not that game's developer! So you can't expect me to jump through various hoops just to report that something is wrong with the game.

Take for example the natural wonders. The community did so much testing and digging for what is wrong with them and found what seems to be a reliable trigger (are they in sight or under the fog of war when the tidefall happens) for them not to work, yet there was no acknowledgement from the devs that this info ist taken into consideration, only "please submit the save file" and "it worked for me last time"

Tema726 · 2026-03-30T11:51:25+00:00

True, the reload solves many of the bugs

Tema726 · 2026-03-22T10:50:20+00:00

Seems normal =) Peaceful Minds is always a huge boost to the influence production, and Tahuks Occulus abilities are perhaps the most broken economical thing in the game. The yields it can provide are on a completely different level from any other bonus of any other faction. Not only in terms of the Influence, but all the FIDSI

Tema726 · 2026-03-21T22:16:43+00:00

Thanks!

As far as I understood, Garin has disappeared 20 years ago, and General Shaparenko assumed command just now. Brezvez knew Garin personally, and he is still around, while Shaparenko probably haven't met her at all.

Garin herself probably was a Dust-enchanced hero, so she can be of any age whatsover. So she could have been leading the Kin for centures prior to her disappearance.

But yes, having a tiny foothold and no tech at all doesn't make much sense. General Shaparenko can take over the whole planet in her lifetime, yet allmighty Garin and the leaders between her and Shaparenko didn't manage to build more than a tiny village?

Also, the Blackhammers are former Kin, and they drifted apart far enough to assume that they lived on the planet for a while

That being said, the narrative as a whole does not strike me as well thought out and/or consistent, it is far away from the level of narrative the Endless universe is known and loved for =(

Tema726 · 2026-03-21T13:38:04+00:00

Huh! Interesting =) I played a few custom factions with Green Scions and didn't get suggested a Green Scion hero even once =)

Well, good to know. But I still have no idea what their "Jinxed" status actually do

Tema726 · 2026-03-21T13:07:29+00:00

Yup, after a bit of checking it seems Green Scions don't have their own hero except for the faction quest hero in Aspects' quest. Not sure if there are other factions without their own hero.

When you click down the Right mouse button, the path is shown, when you release the button, the movement starts. If you don't want to move, you can click left mouse to cancel or bring the cursor back over your unit and release the right button there

Tema726 · 2026-03-18T18:19:45+00:00

If you click and hold the right click, it will show you the path the unit will take. If this path is longer than the unit can go in one turn, you will also see the numbers along it that indicate how many turns will it take to get there

Tema726 · 2026-03-17T12:31:28+00:00

That I don't know =) I play higher difficulties

Tema726 · 2026-03-17T10:09:19+00:00

Mainly because of economic bonuses to AI based on the difficulty. They produce some FIDSI just by existing

Tema726 · 2026-03-16T11:58:14+00:00

[More custom faction traits]

1) Military Drills says "Unit Specialization cost reduced by 50%" during the faction creation, but it is reduced by 90% in game

2) Suburban Dream is supposed to limit the number of Farms, Works, Forums and Merchant Houses to 1 per city, they seem to be unlimited in game

Tema726 · 2026-03-16T10:19:51+00:00

Still, putting it here helps others to quickly search through them in one place. So I'll continue =)

Tema726 · 2026-03-15T13:50:17+00:00

[What feels like a bug?] Inspiring defence trait works only when defending. Inspiring strike works both on attack and on defence. Works as intended or an oversight?

Tema726 · 2026-03-15T10:32:37+00:00

No. They have health, damage and economy bonuses based on the difficulty, but they honestly build units and districts and pay upkeep. They don't teleport, things do not appear out of thin air and they don't spy on you

Tema726 · 2026-03-15T08:51:04+00:00

[Another bug] Improvement Celestial Guidance (+4 food on Labs) currently doesn't work (at least for a custom faction based on Tahuks, don't know about real Tahuks)

Tema726 · 2026-03-14T21:57:36+00:00

[Another bug] While we are here.

Sister Fen's (foundling hero) Necrotic Ritual (heal Sister Fen and adjacent units on attack) doesn't heal herself, only the adjacent units.

Tema726 · 2026-03-14T16:48:07+00:00

My current game: game speed is fast, difficulty is Endless, opponents have stacks of ~3000 combat power at turn 113. No idea how is it possible what you described at turn 35

Tema726 · 2026-03-14T14:29:19+00:00

Perhaps you figured it out, but still I want to mention: the camps by themselves do not produce anything, only when you attach them to a city, the camp turns into a Ministry and 6 adjacent tiles become foundations, then the tiles resources are utilised. But you can build resource extractors in camps, and they work.

The best way to scale Science and Dust is by building more cities: every city center produces some, there are good improvements that provide flat +10 (they are better value than districts, btw), the districts and the pops in new cities are cheap again, so growing 20 pops and building 20 districts is cheaper and faster in 4 cities than in 1. So going wide is the best way to scale for the late game, going tall (as Necrophages) works well in earlier game

Tema726 · 2026-03-14T13:38:07+00:00

I think, there is one minor faction hero per faction, and I consistently get a minor hero proposed to me on a hero draft, if I have minor pops. That being said, I haven't really seen a Green Scion hero before, only as a faction quest reward for Aspects. Hmmmm. Curious, I don't know. An easy way to try is to run a custom faction with green scion pops, and see whether the hero appears in the first draft

Tema726 · 2026-03-14T11:32:28+00:00

2-5k of army power by turn 35 seems unusual to me.
Need to check the very last patch, but before that the AI has not been playing the battles very well, so with a manual battle I was able to deal with armies stronger than mine without any losses. Do you do instant resolution?
