Post making contest 5.0

This is update #234.



The orange necrophages munched their way through two thirds of the pangea, the lime green people spent the entire game sulking in their corner and I did a science. I still have absolutely no idea what I'm doing but I did at least have fun? There was a period in the middle where the game devolved into "City Production Queue Management Simulator 2016" and then the war happened. It was interesting. I do not understand combat in this game and neither do the (admittedly easiest level) AI. A battle the initial screen reckoned was 60-40 in my favour was a complete bloodbath when I did it manually (as in both my opponent and I only had one unit left at the end) and then, out of curiosity, I loaded the autosave and auto'ed it instead - only two of my militia died and the entirety of the enemy army bit the dust.

part of the problem is that I do not know how to heal units yet

There's one area in which I can already see that Endless Legend is massively superior to Civ - the loading times. Like, bloody hell, I can boot up and load a saved game in EL in a tad over a minute, whereas Civ won't have even got to the title screen by then... this may or may not be my laptop at fault, but sheesh...

End of message.
