  "textContent": "The least involving part of any 4X strategy is very often diplomacy with AI civilizations. Even Endless Legend 2, a game with a faction of coral people who can make other people like them by infesting their territory with spores, does settle into a formula. You make friends with other leaders forever or you define them as enemies and obliterate them. Maybe you grease the wheels by offering some minor nation a palmful of glowy rocks in return for passage through their lands.\n\nDevelopers Amplitude are trying to give Endless Legend 2's diplomacy more consistency and flavour, however, by giving the world itself a memory. As of the game's latest update, you'll find it harder to cuddle up to other factions after spending 20 turns incinerating their dominions. Even worse, you might be permanently branded a Bully.\n\nRead more",
