Graphically, I guess? Otherwise, with all expansions, it's a great game and the combat is much better (combat being the main point of AoW since always).

Both AoW3 and EL are good imo. EL could've used better combat, but eh it's not the end of the world.

I dont like grouping units as well. In AOW 2 each ork was an individual (Urgzzob?), in the third part thats gone

That's why AoW3 and EL complement each other so well. Although AoW3's strategic layer is nowhere near as bad as EL's combat layer is. It's actually p fun when it comes to the sense of exploration and unlocking additional upgrades, just rather basic and strategic magic is declined heavily compared to previous parts as well.

Not really something that would make a game "super bland", but sure, why not.

I can add overall art direction, narrative & offbeat fairytale writing as well. In both of these areas the third part doesnt even come close to the second. AoW 2 was delightfully cozy, if a game can be called that. AoW 3 is more like a gameplay mechanics game.

Speaking of challenges, like almost every year, we are holding another Community Challenge for the duration of Amplified: From now until Monday, January 24th, 7PM CET, every match you start in Humankind, Endless Legend, or Endless Space 2 will count towards unlocking additional Humankind rewards for all players. The first reward is a set of player emblems inspired by African cultures
Ayo (smacks lips), all you 4X fans hol up.

I was going to play a game or two of Humankind but because of that challenge I will pass until early Summer. Just to be sure.

Are there any mods for the combat in this game?
