Amplitude Studios announced that 4x strategy game Endless Legend’s latest expansion, Tempest, will be available on Steam Oct. 14.
The expansion focuses on naval combat and features the Morgawr major faction as well as the Fomorian minor faction, a weather system, Sea Monsters and more. According to a post on the Amplitude Studios blog, “ Factions will now be able to fight for dominance of the oceans through the control of sea fortresses.”
Key features for Endless Legend: Tempest include:
New Major Faction – The Morgawr: Locked in the depths of Auriga by the Endless due to their uncontrollable power, the demonic Morgawr are finally free… This new faction will focus on controlling the seas and spreading chaos on land, thanks to mind control powers and the “Black Spot” curse cast on their enemies.
Naval Warfare: Naval battles for everyone! Players will finally be able to battle on the seas. All seaborne units can instigate and reinforce sea battles. Exotic mechanics and tile effects spice up this new type of battle!
Ocean Control with Weather Systems: Arcane structures have emerged from beneath the waves: these Endless relics provide strategic and luxury resources as well as other bonuses to the empire able to control them. To do so, their mysterious guardians must be parlayed with or defeated in battle. The same guardians will patrol “wild” ocean regions, making them a lot less safe to cross without convoy. Expect clouds, rain and storms to appear on your map.
Sea Fortresses and Minor Faction Fomorians : New generated ocean regions, including a Sea Fortress, offer strategic locations in the water for players to battle it out. Anywhere from zero to three fortresses are located in each ocean region, so expect more in oceans that are more strategically pivotal, between islands or continents.
