Hello there!

It's very nice that you are still making new content for Endless Legend. I really liked Endless Legend but not the battle system. That's why i never played the game that much. So, when

you are still delevoping the game then please please please please please please change the battle system into something else. I now it might not be easy but i would like the game much more with a battle system which is similiar to Age of Wonders for e.g.

Ok, that's what i wanted to say to you! Happy gaming!

If I were you, I wouldn't hold my breath for a complete rework of the combat system.

Amplitude had specific goals in mind when they designed the system, and while tere are details I think they could have improved, I think that they mostly achieved these goals. And their goals with the combat system have not changed, so a rework is unlikely.

Smaller improvements may not be entirely out of the question, though, so if you have specific suggestions to improve the system, please do share them.

To start him off you could add an option to choose unit actions every combat turn which would certainly help make combat more predictable given the lowest number of turns between choices is 2 turns which seems ridiculous given that your units will do what you want for one turn and then whatever they feel like for the next turn before you can give them specific orders again.

"you could add an option to choose unit actions every combat turn"

Ever looked at the options when starting a new game? Because such an option already exists.

I thought I was the only one who noticed this!!!

what the combat mostly needs is a good tutorial, I think that by now I know all the control short-cuts but it does take a while before you learn all of them.

well, i think i have to hope for Endless Legend 2 to have another combat system.

Disagree! I actually really like the system as is. 

The system is at its best with interesting map layouts, though. A really interesting setup is when there are choke holds and you choose to defebnd in one place, only to have the enemy do the same waiting for their flying units to reinforce. 

What, in your opinions, lead to the most intersting maps? its always lots of small lakes and lots of cliffs and ridges for me.

It's the default. "Encounter Sequence" can be set to either "Normal (Players will be able to set their targeting sequence each round)" or "Advanced (Players will be able to set their targeting orders every 2 rounds)." Not sure what makes that more advanced, but it looks like you changed your setting to "Advanced" at some point, because I'm pretty sure Normal is the default.

Did they ever change this? I recall that even back in he early access days the amount of turns in between combat orders was unusually long and advanced was a shorter option, but instead its longer now???? That naming system really needs to be changed as there is nothing advanced about waiting 2 turns between orders and letting the godawful AI decide for you.

They changed that long ago, before even the first DLC released. And the 2 turn pacingis considerdd advanced because you have to understand the "godawful AI" of your units to predict what they will do in the second turn.

Yes and something else which I learned. The position of your units and the ground they will end up on is absolutely important. The AI isn't as godawful as you think.
