The best beginner faction is the Wild Walkers, who get an easy questline, production bonuses and the best Tier 1 military unit in the game. I made the mistake of playing Ardent Mages without knowing about pillars and spells - only halfway did I learned about it and it made the game much more unique and entertaining. One reason I love Endless Legend so much is that each faction has very different mechanics. Endless Legend Best Faction For Beginners Video.Endless Legend Best Faction For Beginners Free.
