Say hello to the Aspects, and say hello to their coral.

This is very much my cup of picturesque-but-insidious.

Best of all, they infest the minds of your rivals, making them better-disposed towards you.

A member of Endless Legend 2’s Aspect faction, wearing bright red coral clothes and armour with a tall, branching helm. They are standing in a courtyard with large circular doors and open fences.

“They don’t want this world to be safer but manipulate people for their own good.

So they are great counterpunchers, in short.

If only real-life coral reefs were this resilient.

I really like this crafty and unpleasant approach to the idea of a diplomacy faction.

But where is my faction of no-nonsense warmongering builder-bastards, I hear you cry?

Any hopes for the remaining empires?

I always liked the first game’s Roving Clans, who found their cities on massive beetles.

Perhaps the new game will harbour an equivalent who live inside whales.
