Hi everyone,
Thank you for participating in the Closed Beta for the upcoming Endless Legend expansion: Tempest.
We are very glad to announce that Endless Legend Tempest will be available on October 14th! Tempest is by far our most ambitious expansion and we can't wait to hear what you think of it! It will be available on Steam for the following price: $12.99 / £9,99 / €12,99. Preorder it starting October 6th to enjoy a 25% discount!
As an appetizer, let us introduce its main features. We'll dive in deeper over the next few days on each of them.
NAVAL WARFARE
Naval battles for everyone! You will be able to battle on the seas using a brand new set of ships unlocked through research. All seaborne units can instigate and reinforce sea battles. Exotic mechanics and tile effects spice up this new type of battle! Ships are also able to bombard cities to damage their fortifications.
OCEAN CONTROL WITH WEATHER SYSTEM
Arcane structures have emerged from beneath the waves: these Endless relics provide strategic and luxury resources, as well as other bonuses to the empire able to control them. To do so, their mysterious guardians must be parleyed with or defeated in battle. The same guardians will patrol “wild” ocean regions, making them a lot less safe to cross without a convoy.
Expect storms, fog and drifting debris to appear on your map.
SEA FORTRESSES & FOMORIANS MINOR FACTION
New generated ocean regions, including a Sea Fortress, offer strategic locations for players to battle it out on the seas. Anywhere from zero to three fortresses are located in each ocean region, so expect more in oceans that are more strategically pivotal, between islands or continents.
MENACE FROM THE DEEP
Introducing a new terror of the seas! This tentacled sea monster prowls the seas, hunting any ships foolish enough to face it in battle — or failing to get away in time. Fending off the sea monster will require a strong fleet, as the monster will come back stronger every time it is defeated.
Yet the rewards may make the endeavor worthwhile...
THE MORGAWR FACTION
Endless Legend: Tempest adds a new major faction, the Morgawr! Unconditional rulers of the seas, these crabby new neighbors are designed to take advantage of the new additions in Tempest. They will struggle to progress inland, but will encroach on the coastline with a vengeance, backed up by powerful and terrifying naval units. Yet you shouldn't feel safe from them even far from the coasts, as they are capable of sowing dissent upon previously pacified land, and compel even your staunchest allies to attack you...
