Endless Legend free Mac Game

Faction

Players can choose from one of the fourteen available factions, each with their own unique characteristics including appearance, units, abilities and play-styles:

Wild Walkers: Former forest dwellers who have harnessed magic to control and shape the natural world.

Broken Lords: Knights of honor and chivalry who have lost their humanity, remaining as specters within their suits of armor.

Vaulters: Great smiths and craftsmen who have lived in solitude underground for most of the history prior.

Mezari: Space settlers who must adapt the best they can to Auriga's terrestrial conditions due to a loss of their ship and technology.

Necrophages: A great hive mind of insectoid creatures that can spread plagues while infecting and controlling others.

Ardent Mages: Sorcerers who warp their bodies and minds to achieve great magical power and sustained life.

Roving Clans: Travelers and merchants from distant lands of a nomadic tradition.

Drakken: An ancient dragon race whose longevity has made them a wise race of scholars and diplomats.

Cult of the Eternal End: A fanatical cult that spreads influence on lesser races, mechanical in their appearance and thought, who wish to destroy the relics of the Endless, the advanced alien race that once counted Auriga among the planets under their possession.

The following factions have been added in game expansions (denoted in parentheses):

Forgotten (Shadows): Survivors from a "thought to be extinct faction" embracing the shadows by specializing into deception, infiltration, and sabotage.

Allayi (Shifters): Ancient beings from the time of the Endless who change form with the seasons and hold a tight bond with Auriga.

Morgawr (Tempest): Ancient underwater folk who rose from the depths of Auriga.

Kapaku (Inferno): Emigrants forced from their volcanic homeworld who seek to transform Auriga into a 'paradise of ash and fire'.

Mykara (Symbiosis): A race of fungal humanoids who arose with the newly awakened Urkans.

Resources

Faction controlled cities are used to generate resources, construct buildings and recruit armies. There are five different key resources each faction requires to remain stable and grow: food, industry, dust, science, and influence.

Food is used to increase and sustain the population.

Industry is used to produce units and buildings.

Dust is the standard currency in Auriga.

Science is used for research.

Influence is used for empire level actions, in which the player gains boons like a boosted attack on units or additional resource gain. Influence is also required for diplomatic proposals with other factions.

Resources are gained through the properties on game world tiles within a city's border, buildings the player has constructed and research. How much of a resource a city can gather is dictated by a city's workforce, gained by its native population, which can grow.

Workers are the main tool for gaining resources. They are placed to collect certain resources for the player, with more workers on a certain task gaining more resources.

Research

Another aspect of Endless Legend is the progression of research. Research is cut into four areas within multiple eras. The four areas of research are military, science and industry, empire and expansion, and economy and population. Each aspect is intended to tailor the experience to the player and pushes toward that player's specific goal of victory.

Cities

Cities are where armies are raised. Armies are composed of individual units spawned by the player, with different units types having their own abilities and uses in combat. Players move armies through an action points system. Each movement and interaction subtracts one action point until the counter hits zero, at which point no further actions can be taken. The units are used for exploration, combat, diplomacy, and questing. Units in an army can be outfitted with different equipment researched and purchased by the player or found. Acquired equipment can change the statistics of a units to the player's liking. Armies can also include a hero, a powerful unit with the ability to gain skill points to temper the character to a player's playstyle.
