Seasons of the year | The Basics Endless Legend Guide

Last update: 18 October 2016

There are two seasons of the year in the game - summer and winter. In summer, everything is fine. In winter, production of food and Dust plummets, industry does not do that well and units see less, and are slower. This makes winter a bad time for waging wars but, it is a good season to defend. Winter makes it more difficult to deliver food and buy mercenaries, which leaves separated armies to their fate. Try not to send your troops too far away, when there are only few turns left until winter.

Try not to march in winter. Slowing down of the armies means that a march that would normally take three turns, may last as many as eight in winter. It may even happen that summer is back, before you reach the destination.

If you are concerned with food problems make provisions before winter and use them when the season changes. Thanks to this, the population of your cities does not change. This becomes possible, as late as, in the fourth era.

Throughout the game, time between successive winters gets shorter and the duration of winter rises. After turn 200, winter becomes the only season of the year. If you want to win in points, or thanks to Dust production, remember about this limitation.
