In the video the textures looked really nice and even but I was wondering about those trees during the battle scene. The tree are flat and appear to be drawn in, I am going o guess that it is so you cans see your units in the forest during the battle. What are everyone's thoughts on this?


That's it.

When we played the very first alphalphaalpha, the trees remained and you couldn't see what happenned due to that smiley: wink

Don't you think it isn't torment for us not being able to speak about anything? Thus we spread the torture and everyone's bearing his own torment. smiley: twisted

Why do you assume I was talking about EL? smiley: stickouttongue




You are. I know you can't *say* you are, but it's obvious that you're talking about Endless Legend to us.



Which makes sense, because A) I'm almost certain EA starts next week. Monday or Friday, but I'm guessing Monday and B ) everything has been building up recently, including the fourth reveal of a race, which if memory serves me, was how many Endless Space started with in Alpha.



So, I'm calling it now, with all of the press buildup and the *almost certain* release of a "tutorial" video from Panczau, we will see EA this week.



AND I COULDN'T POSSIBLY BE MORE EXCITED.

But lifted/semi-lifted NDA doesn't always mean game release unfortunately. So we are all still in the dark smiley: frown

I hate the word "soon". It's never accurate in accordance with my interpetation of it's meaning =( Wish devs would start using better terms like, say, "3 days, 2 hours, 24 min and 10 seconds at current posting" =p Seriously, how soon is soon?



Love the video, it's good to finally see something of the actual gameplay and it's getting me excited to get my hands on it. Just don't take to long on getting it out there =3

The map isn't "simplified", it's just a "visual" representation for easier reading while you choose where you deploy your units.

And the bribe option will empty your economy easily if you don't take care of it. So, you should be careful with it.

Anyway, balance will be a thing for beta, even if the devs are trying to get some balance early.

The game map seems to simplify terrain when in tactical combat.What is the thinking behind that.



Bribing a minor race to join seems a bit too easy.ES's economy gets a bit ridiculous mid game and did not scale very well as you swim is cash and rush build most things.



Still no ships spotted.Can we confirm naval battles are not included?



I look forward to early access.

Unfortunately, I have to say I'm bound by the heavy chains with the arcane words "NDA" on them. Until they give me a key and unleash me, I'll be silent and teasing as a nos-ninja could be. Only I shouldn't call myself ninja and will flee to a good hiding place before one of the old ninjas comes around with a kukuri in the dark...

Man this could be the one.FE was a sum of its parts game without being great in any area.AOW3 was a good tactical focused game but lacked in strategy.This looks like it has everthing including a great theme that fits into gameplay not seen since AlphaCentuari.

Please say that Early Access starts next week!

This shouldn't be surprising on a lot of levels. NPR pulled a fantastic April Fool's joke this year. They posted a story entitled "Why Doesn't America Read Anymore?" The text of the "story" was a congratulatory notice explaining that it was an April Fools joke and then posing the question of how many people would post comments without having first read the post. The result was hilarious. Enjoy: http://www.npr.org/2014/04/01/297690717/why-doesnt-america-read-anymore


OMG O_o

Excellent smiley: biggrin

But some of the comments seemed to be second degree. No ? Please, tell me it was.

Some shots I grabbed off the video:



First one here shows off one of the "16 NPC factions" that we'll be able to "conquer, pay off, or complete quests for" and receive benefits and units from:








This one shows the hero skill tree. Looks deep enough to provide some tough choices, but not so deep that it gets too complicated for a 4X:







Here is the city placement icon. Looks well thought out and informative, showing potential yields of each hex!:

Hahahahah thanks for the shout out. My dissection capacity is now somewhat limited. lol




Well they had to get you stop somehow lol Ill miss the insights tho smiley: frown



And I agree, those YT comments are so stupid. Haters gonna hate I guess, but its to be expected so hopefully Amp is/was prepared to take such criticism.



Btw what's with all those Hissho symbols? Especially on the battle flags at 0:23 perhaps its just a placeholder.

And it's really depressing as the ign review is very very positive ! It looks like the YT comments were made without listening to what the reviewer said -___-

Anyway, such good review is a good sign for the future.

This look awesome!

I cannot wait to have it please release it!!!



For the yt comments, it is totally normal, for someone who didn't played ES to think it is a civ5 clone, they are stupid but it is understandable.

We played ES, we know the capacity of amplitude to do awesome games, the only thing I hope is that all this stupid comments will disapear after the release, and that when The next civ will put some videos on yt, the comment will be: Man this is look like an EL clone!!!!



I just want to see how deep will EL go in the 4x, and how the 4x games will be influenced to do always better games!

Absolutely amazing. Probably the most in depth video so far, lot of interesting stuff in there. Plus its still only in alpha/pre-alpha and yet there's still so much in their already. Early access can't come soon enough, good work amplitude smiley: biggrin
