Compare it with the other river in the screenie (it even has a frozen waterfall =) ). Compare it also with the river on the far left of the Wild Walkers screenie from the Vaulters reveal. There, you'll find on the far left of the screen a river running through a high-elevation area that's snowy and finishes after running through the wasteland biome in the region to the far left and finishing just after it enters the main grassland region in the screen and empties into the sea. Those features all look the same.

That said, I can certainly see how it might resemble a road. One of the two immediately apparent in the Wild Walkers reveal screenie just happens to run through a city and so can be easily mistaken for something other than a river.

maybe their unique building is some sort of counseling to help them overcome their problem?

I like the thinking.

if leaving the forest is making them go insane, then what happens if they escape Auriga?

That and from what I have read, is having to leave the forests that are killing them.

Id love a kind of decent into dark elves kinda twist, where their own salvation also damns them.

i think them going insane is what makes them more unique than the universally accepted wood elves.

I really love the look of this faction. The bald heads with long, floppy ears are a nice twist to the usual elven appearance, and the long necks with what appear to be brass neck coils similar to those whorn by the Padaung or Kayan Lahwi of Burma suit them very well.

looks really cold in those pictures, it would be interesting if there was a city preparedness value and you could get positive or negative bonuses based on how prepared your city was.

First rule of steph'teasing: Never directly admit teasing. Either you did it right and they know or you did it wrong and you shouldn't shame yourself even more by proclaming the post was intended to tease.

Second rule of steph'teasing: Never tell directly the solution to your tease. Be careful to just lightly broach the subject, hint at possibilities.

Third rule of steph'teasing: Never do not offer s.th. people want to know and cannot know while you might indeed know. It must be believable and quite possibly true, but in any case it has to be ill defined.

Fourth rule of steph'teasing: Run once you see the pink princessification hammer of doom for saying "steph'teasing" all the time.

It's so nice to see someone still making picture analysis now that I can't!

Keep up the discussion, it's fun reading how you imagine the game to work when I already know when you are/aren't wrong

The game site for EL has all sorts of lovely and intriguing bits on the Wild Walkers. You can check it out for yourself here: http://g2g.amplitude-studios.com/Games/Endless-Legend/The-Wild-Walkers

Among other background information, the faction traits appear to be as follows:

1. Battle Rage

2. Detect Prey

3. Forest Camouflage

4. Long Range Experts

I'd love to hear everyone's speculation as to what these abilities entail!

The reveal also details four units:

A. a hero named "Zaltana" - sounds nutty (yes, that WAS a weak attempt at humor)

B. the Agache Shaman

C. the Tenei Walker

D. the Dekari Ranger

When I get back from class, I'll update with some screen comparisons and more questions. For now, feast your eyes:

A snowed in (Dark Season or just arctic biome???) Wild Walker city:

The Quest Log!!! Neato!

I'm not sure that I see any roads of shoveled snow. I see frozen rivers and snowed in exploited tiles (the tiles immediately surrounding the city). Are you seeing something I'm not?

As for the armies staying inside cities during the winter, my expectation is one of two things (or both):

1. Armies outside a city garrison during the winter cost more maintenance for every turn they finish on a map tile.

2. Armies outside a city garrison suffer a general handicap when engaging in combat during winter.
