Civilisation allowed relative freedom with the founding of cities, whereas in Endless Legend the land is split up into regions, each of which can only hold one city. The rules of expansion are slightly different in Endless Legend than Civilisation. Technological development is also a big thing in this game with scientific research proving as important in growing your culture and keeping up with the neighbours, as simple expansion and military power. Rival civilisations inhabit the world with you and as well as growing your own, you will need to engage with those cultures through battle/ diplomacy / trade. From this one settler you need to found cities, raise an army and expand your kingdom.

Like in Civ, you choose a culture to develop, starting with just a single settler. The basics of the game will be familiar to any Civilisation player, but beyond the basics, Endless Legend goes much deeper. It’s based in an entirely fictional world called Auriga with eight races/factions to choose from. Endless Legend is a turn-based strategy game, similar in structure to Civilisation but with a fantasy flavour to it. This is another indie game, officially released in September 2014 after a few months of early access, which many may have missed. Feel free to either watch the review below or read it, the old-fashioned way.
