Hi all,

Visions of the Unseen (EL) and Chronicles of the Lost (ES) add-ons will be available tomorrow on Steam (automatic update). We'll then post the detailed release notes for each game! Today, we're focusing on the Vaulters who got some nice additions in both games.



The Vaulters now have their own introduction video in Endless Space. Just a screenshot for now: you'll be able to see it in game tomorrow!





We added a really cool Vaulters background scene in the main menu:





Come back tomorrow for the detailed release notes.

Hi everyone,

Hope you had a nice weekend!

The release of Endless Legend's "Visions of the Unseen" add-on is approaching and today, we'd like to talk about the addition of a special minor faction that you chose in a past GAMES2GETHER vote a few weeks ago: the Eyeless Ones.




Blind from birth, these monks train their other senses to the point of supernatural acuity. Whether the explanation is intense concentration or Dust magic, their skills are undeniable.

"Though legend would have us believe the members of this tribe blind their children at birth, reason and observation indicate that they are an eyeless mutation of other Aurigan species. With non-visual senses enhanced, however -- including a sixth sense called "kanjwe" that is little understood -- they are able to sense, hear, and feel all that is visible, and some that is not."

The Eyeless Ones are the 15th minor faction in Endless Legend! As usual, you will be able to assimilate them like any other minor villages, and therefore build their units for your own army.

Hi guys,

In case you missed our previous announcements (how could you, really?), please check out the recent Dev Blog posts on the upcoming Add-Ons for both Endless Legend and Endless Space:

• Visions of the Unseen (Endless Legend)
  
• Chronicles of the Lost (Endless Space & Endless Space: Disharmony)

So what's coming for Endless Legend in this add-on? Many things..! We mentioned the new side quests in our previous blog post, but today, let's talk about something that was highly requested by the community: diplomatic answers that would fit each faction's personality better and greatly improve the immersion.




Before the official release of EL, we already took a first step toward this direction, with the addition of animated diplomats, who now have their own flavour text.


Sending the Ardent Mages a "Declaration of War".



Sending a "Warning" to the master of the Marketplace: the Roving Clans.



Ratatatata!


You will trigger these messages if you send a treaty to the AI: a declaration of war, a truce, a research agreement, etc. But sometimes, the AI will also let you know what it thinks about your actions. These messages will change depending on the faction it is playing as, but also with its current mood.

To sum it up, there are three parameters to take into account: fear, trust and envy. Each message is associated with one of these states. For example, if you colonise a nearby region, the AI will probably get a bit jealous of you, since you deliberately decided to take a territory just outside its frontiers (our AI can be emotional too, yes). If it was already envying your territory, the message will be very different to a message from a mocking and powerful AI that doesn't think of you as a threat. But you will prove them wrong, won't you?
