Bonus Fact #1: Beyond Earth gives you the ability to choose both the people and cargo on your colony ship at the outset of the game. A ship full of artists may have different priorities than a ship full of refugees, but each offers their own opportunities.
Bonus Bonus Fact! Anything seem familiar about Endless Legend's overworld map? It might if you're a Game of Thrones fan. The team drew artistic inspiration from the living, moving map in the HBO show's opening cinematic.
Bonus Fact #2: There are three playstyles called "affinities" in Beyond Earth. You can genetically adapt your humans to their new planet (Harmony), install cybernetic mods to become more than human (Supremacy), or terraform your planet to be like Earth (Purity).
Bonus Fact #3: Researching Beyond Earth, the team read the same books as the original Alpha Centauri team (plus some modern additions). Where did they find them? The Alpha Centauri wiki, of course. YOU can find them in the description below this video.
Bonus Fact #4: Amplitude Studios, makers of Endless Legend, were the first to use Early Access on Steam. They convinced Steam to let them release an alpha of their first game, Endless Space, and got so much good feedback that Early Access became a regular Steam feature.
Bonus Fact #5: Endless Legend takes place in the same universe as the studio's previous game, Endless Space. Echoes of the sci-fi universe are evident throughout, but different factions see those elements and their place in the world differently.
Bonus Fact #6: One of the factions in Endless Legend, "The Cult," was completely player-designed in a three-part competition that let players create (and then vote on) the concept, the visuals, and the units.
