Hello everyone, I'm new here and I want to start by saying that I absolutely love Endless Legend and currently have 160 hours dropped into the game. I really enjoy the fantasy theme, the music, and the aesthetic to the game, as well as the vast mechanical improvements over the neighbouring Civ games (love those too!). I enjoyed this game so much that I bought the entire DLC series up to Inferno for a friend just so we could drag my clunky desktop over to his house to smoke weed and play Endless LANgends, lol. He then paid it forward and bought it for our friend who's currently living in Japan right now so we can all play together.

I am currently playing with the "Improved AI" mod which I understand is part of the community patch? I don't know much about that.

Anyways, I know this topic has been beaten to death, but the AI is severely lacking in this game. I enjoy playing on impossible, but for all the wonder in this game you get pigeon-holed into single-facted military victories at the expense of the poor AI and it's aggressive bonuses on the difficulty setting.

Rather than the DLC that currently dropped this month, I'd pay full retail price for an AI improvement alone, even better if it came with other quality of life changes that I've eagerly read about on this forums; you guys really know your stuff!

Can anyone tell me how they like to enjoy this game? Perhaps there's something I've overlooked. Also I heard there's a Discord for this game? I might be interested in joining that; I'm not a very good at multiplayer for this game but I'd love to play with others who enjoy it too!

Thanks everyone, have a lovely day

Okay, so the standalone Improved AI mod is outdated; I should try to complete community patch, got it! :)

One more question; does Amplitude intend on implementing these community changes or will it forever be an unofficial add-on to their game?

I can't wait to try out the community patch to see the difference, you guys rock

While some of the more obvious bugfixes find their way into official patches, 99% of the changes wont for various reasons.

Is there any plan on making the AI a bit more aggressiv when you approach a victory condition?

The example is that I had begun building the Earth Core. I had shared victory enabled.

Now I would expect one of the following two to happen: Either they try to ally me (to 'win'), or try to actively impede me (attack me, declare war, etc.). And this can be implemented for any victory condition that pops up as a player as well.

If shared victory would be off, that only leaves the single path of the AI trying to take you down, making the experience maybe a bit more intensive and challenging.

Are you asking for vanilla or community patch? Because it is already that way in the community patch.

Do the AIs also try to prevent each other from winning with the ELCP? I had a game where the Roving Clans kept sending privateers against me (and reinforcing them from their side of the border) while the nearby Broken Lords were cruising into an Economic Victory. They were at Cold War, not allied with each other.
