Endless Legend 2 Addresses "Goldfish" AI with an Ingenious Badge System, ranging from Delightful to Intimidating

The least engaging aspect of any 4X strategy game is frequently the diplomacy with AI civilizations. Even Endless Legend 2, a title that showcases a distinct faction of coral beings capable of swaying others through spore dissemination, tends to adhere to a familiar formula. Players typically either create enduring alliances or categorize others as foes to be defeated. From time to time, they may provide smaller nations with resources in return for transit through their territories.

The developers at Amplitude are striving to improve the diplomatic dynamics in Endless Legend 2 by adding a world memory feature. With the most recent update, it has become more difficult to cultivate amicable relations with factions following hostile actions, such as spending 20 turns ravaging their lands. Additionally, players may risk receiving a permanent label as a Bully, which will influence future relations.

This update seeks to tackle the prevalent 4X issue of rudimentary AI diplomacy by introducing a sophisticated system of badges that vary from Pleasant to Bully.
