[Darkening Kaos]

Really though, an endless legend is just a leg.

This joke has no leg to stand on!

     I always thought a legend was a foot.

Looks like I'm in the minority here, but I didn't like Endless Legend. Disinstalled it after 11 hours.

It's not a bad game. Far from it.
It looks very pretty but, for me, it tries to do too many things. It feels like a bunch of half-finished games put together to provide an artificial feeling of depth and complexity.

It's a 4x with quests, basic RPG elements, a rudimentary city builder and very basic tactical combat.
These single parts of the game are mediocre at best. Put together, they make a mildly entertaining 4x game.
To me, the result has been a very bland and uninspired game.

Did you play before or after some of the (later) DLCs?

Those were exactly my thoughts on the base game and I was amazed at how much it had changed. All the systems were there previously, but they didn't really work together.
I thought Tempest especially added a lot, but all of them combined stopped it being bland. The other thing is the different factions, I thought some were pretty rubbish, whilst others were great fun - I can imagine trying out 2-3 factions and thinking it wasn't great just because they didn't fit your playstyle.

I still wouldn't say it's the best 4x ever, but it's certainly very entertaining now in my opinion.

There's a bunch of DLC in my library, including guardians, shadows and shifters. But not tempest. I think I bought a bundle on some sale in the past.
I have a weird feeling for this game.
I realize it's very polished and quite unique in the 4x genre. Right from the description I thought "this looks like something I could play for hundreds of hours".

But then it just didn't click. I will give it another try at some point. Like you said, maybe I picked the wrong faction. I don't remember wich one. They have human (or maybe elven) archers in their units.

Tempest was one of the bigger DLCs and there were a ton of free updates around then.

The faction you were playing would probably be either the Vaulters or Wild Walkers - they're by far the most standard of all the factions - nothing wrong with them, but they're basically just stereotypical 'humans'.

I'm not saying you'll love it, but I went from feeling exactly the same as you to putting in a good 50 hours or so after the Tempest update so it might be worth dipping back in when you get time.
