Gameplay is a little overbearing

Still beautiful the artwork, no?

Yeah, but I can't really forgive a game if it's difficult to play when it's not trying to be Dark Souls

But Dark Souls and E.L are very different games.

I'm saying that Endless Legend isn't trying to be incredibly challenging and have a huge margin of error, yet it does.

Dark souls however tries to punish the player for the smaller error

But E.L is not an action game as Dark Soul. It's an strategy game that you may play for relaxing.

And yet it punishes you for an action, that would be correct in most other 4x Games,and was not explained previously

I'm essentially saying it's a decent game, it just doesn't know entirely what it wants to do with itself.

For me it's a good game, thought it's kinda new compared to others like Civ 5, which is probably the best example of 4x strategy games, so maybe it could explain your "it just doesn't know entirely what it wants to do with itself"

But well, for opinions, colors.

Civ V with BNW and GnK is an excellent 4x. Civ IV is better than standard, but to be fair, I haven't played EL with the DLC

Me neither, I only have EL default.
And yes, Civ 5 with DLCs is a great 4x indeed

My most fun game of Civ V was just recently. I got the Vaas' Pirates (FC3) and Pagan Ming's Kyrat (FC4) and did a 1v1 with a buddy. Let me just say, nobody expects a swarm of marines.
