I think idea of separating strategic turn and combat turn is Legendary.

But that's extending time to finish turn when battle happened.

So, Battle on this game have only fixed 6 turns and Ordering to unit is semiautomatic.

That is logically natural.



But I think semiautomatic battle is not enough.

Completely automatic battle is better.

Completely automatic battle with card system is much better.

I love cards. All species in universe loves cards.



Last night , I saw dream and endless legend had card battle system in my dream.

There is (3-3-3) turns. 9 turns in total.

Player choice card on each 3 turns.

Card affect unit stats and define how act each roles (infantry , ranged , Calvary).

For example , Adaptive strategy Card increase all unit's attack and decrease all unit's defense

, and all unit just onward to closest enemies.

Another example , Concentrated fire Card increase Infantry's defense and ranged unit's attack and decrease Infantry's attack and ranged unit's defense

, and infantry and calvary make front line and ranged unit go to their's back.

Another example , Mobile tactics Card twice calvary unit movement

, and calvary unit target weakest enemy but Infantry and ranged unit do nothing.

Just a dream.

Not so sure how well cards would work in this system as you can give your units specific orders and they would essentially be just bonuses. It seems like Heroes abilities fill this role.

No thank you.

Nah, units vs units is waaay better. It's tried and true. It WORKS

Not card system strictly. Perhaps abilities and tactics in the future. But for now combat system is fun enough.

Most of the people I know did not like the card system in Endless Space. They wanted to move their units around manually to have more control over the battle. IMO Endless Legend combat is the next level for Amplitude.

No thanks... i never liked cards in ES.

I am in this boat as well. I never liked the card system - of course I didn't like the combat system as a whole either so it might be that.



If anything, Endless Legend should have abilities usable at will by the player instead of just having support units use buffs and debuffs as attacks. Not an entire tome worth of spells (Hello Might and Magic), but a few select ones based on level, faction and class.

Oh, god please no.



Those cards were just a glorified "rock, papers, scissors", and they were difficult to understand. I never ever won a battle on manual mode in ES, but I would always win if I put it on auto.

No thank you. I'm good as is (with a few tiny tweeks).

Urgh, definitely a no to this. Sorry

God no, it would be awful..

Big NOOOO I strongly disliked that system in ES, EL is far better than that.
