Endless Legend Inferno

Endless Legend Inferno adds the Kapaku faction, new volcanic terrain and Dust Eclipses to the game. The Kapaku arrive on Auriga after being forced to leave their volcanic home planet, intending to turn the world into a paradise of ash and fire.

The Kapaku

The Kapaku are small, crafty tinkers and inventors who use powerful Golems for heavy work. Native to volcanic terrain, their units gain strong buffs on volcanic tiles, and their production perks reward settling in volcanic regions. They can use these advantages to build large armies with quality gear or advance quickly toward wonders and deeds. Their abilities require large amounts of strategic resources to reach their full potential.

The Kapaku can use Lavaformation to permanently change any terrain into volcanic tiles. They can exploit volcanic terrain better than any other faction, drawing on their experience of a volcanic world ravaged by Sowers. The faction also has unique knowledge of Dust Eclipses, granted by the Endless themselves.

Dust Eclipses

When the skies darken and the atmosphere fills with dust, dormant powers awaken among Auriga’s inhabitants. Each faction gains new powers or strengthens its existing capabilities. Dust also creates short-lived Dust Confluxes across the map: the first army to reach one receives a temporary boon. These events bring new weather patterns and stir unsettling sights from Auriga’s distant past.

Volcanic terrain

Lava Terrain offers little food but can provide industry, science or dust. It makes a difficult starting region for most species, but can turn middling cities into powerful production centers when used well. Volcanic biomes also contain Volcanic Anomalies, giving further incentives to explore these barren areas.

Active volcanoes in volcanic biomes spew rivers of lava. These rivers provide no food, but their free energy adds to the industry output of the tiles.
