Eternal Winter
I see this has been discussed before, at around turn 140, to the current turn, 250, winter has been going on without a counter, and while I like the idea of the coming appocalypse (although it isn't all that damaging), I think this eternal winter should be optional,.. well, mainly.. because it's a pain when you want to take a nice summer screen shot ;)

I know they plan on adding it in only as optional (like inter changing seasons of summer and winter, and no longer permament winter 120 turns in or so).. so don't worry too much about it.
Also winter isn't the worse thing (especially later on I think), so the only difficulty is simply the look of it, which is winter.

It is suppose to be a storyline mechanic, that winter is getting worse, longer.. and eventually permament.. so the alteration would be purely for gamers, rather than the storyline.

I don't think anyone should restrain from purchasing this game because of it's winter feature.
It is actually a very cool feature. ;)

One of the two things (with Cold War concept) that it is the first game to make, and I can say it's much more original than detrimenting. The bad thing I saw with winter is micromanagement, but the game alerts are very clear enough to avoid mistakes. Also, in an eternal winter, you no longer have to switch management between summer and winter.


First of all, Summer lasts LONG.
Winter only lasts a few turns at the beginning.
Winter lasts longer and longer with time, it doesn't get dramatic in an instant.
When it comes to eternal, you have a few hours under your belt and some winters behind you already.

When eternal winter eventually comes, you pretty much can be sure to know how to endure winter in your cities. And no, no city just disappears, and no army, and no one loses hps.


Also, in 10+ games (pre-patch), I never, *ever* ran into Eternal Winter.

In one of these games I was sitting around aiming at a scientific victory, and in that one game I came to very, very long winters. These could have been eternal without any major difference, true enough.

And guess what?
Things were about working the same.

I could still make as much science, and my many cities resources were quite enough to address the rest and still be tremendously rich.


Come on, even in the worst situation ever, you would just have to lose 1 pop in a city much too large for its food. Is that a reason not to purchase a game?

And yes, armies are slow in winter, but they can still go through, and you could upgrade your armies and give all your units these bonus speed items, and name a General with a movement bonus, and use fastest units instead of slowest, and even take these skills that make army immune to winter effect, and that would be done. Or you could just shrug that off and go on.

Nothe that I haven't yet played the game post-patch.
Maybe something has been changed to the winter that I don't know

However IMHO it's fun and original more than something to go dramatic about.
It can be endured easily enough.


What I would love would be:
ZOMBIES in winter ! :D


Our armies this time dying in the cold and turning into undead.
Now that would be fun :D .... and ... dramatic xD

wtf ?!? these winter became endless ???

I just bought it yesterday and played a while. its nice but not overwhelming. and i dont like these winter interruptions and dont like the concept of a punishing game design. it sucks so much and now I have to read its getting worse and worse and more punishing in later game ?! If I had know this, I had stay away from this game because it takes away the enjoyment of a long, epic, vast game - - you just want to hurry to end the game, ... what piece of ***

The thing with the winter is also ruining my fun with long games on huge maps. I can understand the winter feature as a kind of story related feature but it also feels like a campaign feature. Strategy games, especially 4x games usually featrue a campaign or scenario mode and a free to play mode that lets people create their own story, their own history so to speak. But there is no freedom to be found when the game will allways end in a winter mess.

Rushing through the game on small maps to avoid everlasting winter is no fun at all, especially with factions that are a bit slow in research. Limiting a strategy game to pure scenario modes does not work well, especially if the developer does not tell people that there is no free to play mode, that every game you play is exactly the same scenario on a different map.

The late game sees the best equiped armies, the cities are usually quite huge (though capped to level 2, except for the Cultists) and you are ready to have some epic battles. The problem is, its allways winter, the same boring winter effects, the same winter sounds and penalties to movement, food production and other things that deminish your achievements up to this point.

There should be an option for switching off the endless winter feature, especially sicne there are SO MANY people comkplaining about it. The ones that still want to play the game with endless winter also had the option to do so but imposing a feature on players that punishes them for playing long games is not a good thing to do.

Hello,

We are actually working on the option for the eternal winter.
Thanks a lot for your feedback.

Thats good to hear, I hope the feature is released soon.

I also dislike the forever winter, and the way the two seasons are handled over all.

It's a great idea, and yes, it's part of the lore, it just doesn't work for me.

I would love it if the cycle stayed the same the whole game. (something like 25 to 30 turns each). I would also like it if the winter effects were more harsh. Units should take damage every turn outside of a city durring winter. It would mean planing your invasions at the start of summer.

I also think the last hero skill that gets around the winter effects should have three levels, with each level only reducing the winter effects, but not totally removing it.

"We are actually working on the option for the eternal winter."

very much appreciated, thank you. This is the only feature I really dislike in this otherwise great game. Making it an option is exactly the right thing to do.

I think you just broke the game.
I've never been lock in eternal winter.
I've completed 3, 600 turn game.
I've had long winters, and summers that only lasted 1 turn.
But by that time in the game winter isn't a big deal.

Ugh really? I havn't made it past turn 50 yet(restarted two games trying factions), while I like the season changes it seems dumb for it to eventually be forever. I don't see myself playing much then until this is resolved as I will probably quit a game at that point if it hasn't finished yet. Please add the option to turn that off in the next patch(can't be that hard to add an if statement if it's ticked lol).

Its not dumb, not like they arbitrarily decided to have that just to ruin your game or anything.T here is a really good reason for it, the planet is dying.

Concerning the latest update, I guess they are not going to address the eternal winter problem.

it is NOT a problem, it is part pf the story, like I said before, the planet is dying. Eternal winter is a representation of that. It is fine if you want an OPTION to turn it off, but stop calling it a PROBLEM because that is just false.

I've been away for awhile. Was waiting for the eternal winter "turn off" switch. Is it in yet?

no, go back to being away

Was going to buy this game until I saw the "eternal winter"....are you kidding me? What a :demonsheep: I saw the dev above say they were working on an option to turn it off. It would even be nice if the game started "without" eternal winter by default. Leave "eternal winter" for hardcore mode or something.

why? its part of the story and flow of endless legend.

引用自 Blackwidow
Well yeah, usually someone would get that victory.. however I like playing games for the long term, just creating empires and realms and watching them expand.

This is kind of what interested me about this game as well.

I'm thinking of buying it tomorrow, but the Eternal Winter thing is a HUGE turn-off and instantly made me not want to buy the game.

It's pretty much FORCING me to play a certain way, after I've invested time into the game.

Not cool.

But almost everything else about this game appeals to me and I've been looking for a new strategy PC game to play for a bit now......this looks to be it, besides that one simple stupid Eternal Winter crap...

* Is there a way to go into the files and change the start time of Eternal Winter to like 575 turns instead of turn 275 or whatever it is ?


I really don't understand what is up with all these people having a problem with it. Are you that big a wuss? Do you suck that bad? really?

If I could, I would delete this, the dev team has already responded and said they are working on it.

(Also as I've personally stated, I like the idea, I just like to have options.)

Anyone continuing here I feel is just trying to start an argument.
