But the modern trend of innovation started with Endless Legend.Įndless Legend is set in a sci-fi/fantasy universe shared by Amplitude Studios other games: Endless Space, Endless Space 2, and Dungeons of the Endless.Įndless Legend is a unique take on the 4X genre which innovated on the traditional formula in several key ways.īuilding off the fundamentals laid down by the Civilization series Endless Legend retains the core gameplay loop of: building cities, exploring a randomly generated world, and exploiting resources. With a slew of innovative 4X games coming up, it’s easy to think that this was inevitable. They can become anyone, expand anywhere, like a plague.a beautiful plague.Taking a look at the 4X genre today, we are beginning to see a move away from the same tried and true approach pioneered by The Civilization series. Which is nothing to you when you consider how much a Horatio pop produces on its own. Which is an important thing to keep in mind because Horatio are ecologist centric which means they start with a law that allows them to colonize any non-gas giant world with a malus to (resources?) I think. Want to build a science focused Horatio? Go ahead! But why specialize? Once you nail down food production pops you can just keep assimilating now populations without consequence because of just how much food you are producing. You can freely do as you want essentially. Most of all? Its the utility of the gene assimilation mechanic. They even can get pretty crazy with science, it isn't hard for them to compete with even the usual science juggernauts in a game by the mid-late. They can overwhelm the dust economy by the sheer amount of dust they generate in the background from their pops by late game never-mind by trading company abuse. Horatio by late game is very much incredibly threatening as they are capable of going for any victory type they can create top tier fleets in a few turns or spam out swarms of cheap ships in a single turn. I am fairly sure you'd need to actively be trying to fail at keeping their happiness over 90 %.īut what really gets me is just how sheer OP your civilization can truly get. OH! and Horatio has some pretty stupid happiness bonuses by late game. Secondly late in the game you can convert pops to be ultra-efficient Horatio. Literally can make civilizations go entirely extinct. You can genocide large swaths of the galaxy when you first assimilate.
