Jack and Adam compare two modern revivals of strategy design: Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era and Endless Legend 2. We cover how HOMM OE modernises the classic loop, the daily and weekly map rhythm, city growth, unit upgrade forks, and where it stumbles with a cluttered spell UI and questions about handcrafted maps.
We dig into Endless Legend 2’s Civ-style shell with heroes anchoring armies, event chains that create real attachment, and the tides mechanic that reshapes the map, plus the tutorial build crashing on our end and why it still kept us playing. The thread through both is a character-led 4X style that looks like Civ but plays closer to HOMM and Age of Wonders, with smaller tactical scopes and more authored micro-stories.
