FOUR IMPORTANT NOTES:
EARLY, EARLY ACCESS WILL CHANGE.
1. Endless Legend 2 Early Access (release date 22 September, on PC Steam) is heavily subject to change. I expect the UI, the number of factions, the balance and yields, etc. to ALL change as we move through the EA period.
ARE YOU A "BEGINNER" (can't read, never played a game) OR A "BEGINNER" (200 hours in HUMANKIND Game of Civ 6, about a year ago)?
2. I try to strike a balance here - asking myself, "Ultimate Beginners Guide for whom?" I assume you have played a video game before, and much of the information also assumes you have seen a strategy game before too. Some tips will suit total beginners, but others will inevitably cater to an advancing audience to complete the story/ information.
PRESS PREVIEW
3. This video was recorded in the early (early) access press preview build of Endless Legend 2. Thanks to Hooded Horse, the publisher, for providing me with a Press Preview key to check out the game ahead of time. This video is not sponsored (in fact - none of my Endless Legend 2 EA content has been sponsored or paid for in any way. I covered this because I wanted to cover this. It's unlikely to benefit the channel in any significant way as its a smaller release).
MORE TO COME?
4. I may also make some more dedicated Endless Legend 2 Tutorial, or Endless Legend 2 tips and tricks video if you would like some targeted info, or some quick-fire tips and tricks for those of you who know strategy games! Let me know, I'm happy to accommodate here.
