The world of Saiadha isn't static. It shifts with a phenomenon known as Tidefall, which alters the landscape, revealing new paths and strategic points of interest as waters recede.

The Tahuk have a variety of unique gameplay features that invite strategic depth. Players can send zealous followers as missionaries to other empires, gaining valuable intel and resources in exchange. An additional layer of strategy emerges with the ability to construct observatories on mountain ridges, which serve dual purposes. These structures can be upgraded into either economically beneficial libraries or transformed into formidable 'sacred flame' defensive turrets. Such choices reflect the Tahuk's faith-science duality, offering players diverse avenues for development and defense.
Combat Tactics
Militarily, the Tahuk adopt a distinct approach, focusing mainly on ranged combat complemented by Devotees engaging in melee. Their innovative strategy employs artillery and ranged units to illuminate targets, bestowing a tactical debuff on enemies. This debuff makes illuminated enemy units more susceptible to the Tahuk's melee forces while simultaneously providing a defensive edge against devastating ranged attacks. These tactics encourage precision and coordination, rewarding players for strategic focus-fire actions.
Players can dive into the complex yet rewarding world of Endless Legend 2 when it launches into early access on September 22. Available via Steam, the Microsoft Store, and included in the PC Game Pass from day one, the game invites players to explore its rich strategic options, where the Tahuk's unique blend of spirituality and pragmatism offers fresh challenges and exciting possibilities.
