The issue I have with EL combat is you can auto-resolve or fight it manually. But if you are going to let me fight it manually, then let me do it. The automated orders felt like a hybrid solution that wasn't quite satisfying (though it was original). But very curious to find out what all of you think.

I cannot confirm the number of units but all factions will have their own units and will share similar archetypes, like having X ranger on Y faction and then having something similar on another faction, but different. In the end, we will try that the units of factions feel different in their own way.
Difficult to explain without the details 😅

Also, you will count with minor units, that have their units that could synergize with your current game/playstyle,

​Saiadha looks like an even more interesting planet to play on than Auriga was. Can't want to find out more about it. Hopefully we'll see a few returning factions and a few new ones as well. I for one hope the Vaulters are represented again but I'm not going to be too picky. Already signed up for the Insiders program, hopefully I will get accepted.

Crossing fingers for the Insider program! 🤞

We cannot wait to share more and more about the game.

I really liked the first opus, and I'm very curious of what the second one will be like! I hope they were not afraid of trying to change and try new things.

We are trying to have the same essence as EL1 but also to try to innovate and bring ideas from other titles, like the full control of units from Humankind

Personally, I'm hoping each faction has a full unique unit roster. For example, every faction would have the same classes of units, but they will be vastly different in their stats and abilities.

Minor factions can help shore up your weaknesses, but every faction will generally have one unit for each role, even if its not the best in class.

I cannot confirm the numbers of units per faction, but all factions have different units but share in some cases certain archetypes (like here are "ranger" units, or more "tank" ones). But apart from that and as some of you mentioned then you will have the minor factions that will expand the type of units you could have.

And if its not clear, I do not want to criticise or be judgmental about the new game and its systems. I just had a thought while watching the stream. Since so very little is known about the new system I think everything is still possible. I was just asking if other people also enjoyed the "old" system.

Thanks for your thoughts and do not worry, we know this will be an important topic for those players who loved the EL1 combat system, I can confirm that we are going more into the "full control" of your units (that you could see in HK) but with our own uniqueness. Without entering into details, as we will have in the future a blog talking about it but you could imagine as well the appearance of your heroes in the battle, etc.

Maybe, if they go with a similar version to the AoW4 combat there is also a form of auto resolve that is not just instant but also lets you watch... so like a Legend 1-light version...

There is something like that already in Humankind. You can do manual battle and then you have a toggle to be "auto-battle" but then if you think "Let me take the control back" you switch that.

You’ll also want to update the Bluesky link on the Steam page for Endless Legend 2; that one still leads to the Hooded Horse account.

(Very happy to see you on Bluesky, by the way!)

We will talk to Hooded Horse in case they could change that.

Hi all,

Endless legend 2 is flagged to be playable on Windows, do you know if a Mac version will be available in the future ?

If amplitude do not change their mind, I think it will be (like all their game).

Congrats for your upcoming game ;)

For the moment is not planned, sorry.
