Speedball posted:Are Vodyani at all related to the Broken Lords, technology-wise? They seem to sustain themselves using Endless technology in a similar way. With all of that said, I wouldn't compare them to the Broken Lords much. They share thematic elements, but they've got their own thing going on; they're not dust-making machines. Definitely interesting though.

I've been tinkering some more with the Vodyani and I really like their play style. They're slow to get going, but once you can find a good place to siphon Essence from they come into their own. It's not fun losing an ark to ground assault that somehow bypasses your fleet and the ark itself, but I'm hoping that will get fixed at some point. I actually have no idea how to do ground assaults/defenses well. Ships take forever to restock their manpower even in my own territory with the right laws in place. Also, do shields block everything or are they only useful against energy weapons?

I don't know if it's intended, but I once prevented a ground assault by minimizing the pop-up and attacking the enemy fleet. The ground assault still happened, but the enemy had 0 troops.  Clarste posted:Manpower is produced by food, so the Vodyani are exceptionally bad at it. You basically need to build up an empire stockpile of it, and the fastest way to do that is the "draft" button available on the military screen. It consumes influence and food (ie: population) to max out your stockpile. Safety Factor fucked around with this message at 15:15 on Oct 8, 2016 |

Remember how long it took them to implement razing in Endless Space 1? They learned their lesson.

The UE are an awesome faction. Being able to buy out construction with influence is great and it's easy to make a shitload of the stuff. Their faction quest is about the Emperor dealing with a coup attempt and guiding the empire to secure his legacy. Sheredyn and Mezari get name-dropped as path options at one point. I still have no loving clue how ground invasions work. I siege a system down to 0 manpower before launching an invasion and I still lose.

I've already sunk a bunch of time into Endless Space 2 and it's getting there, but I probably wouldn't buy it just yet unless you absolutely must play it right now. I don't regret getting it at all, it's simply unfinished and some things can be kind of goofy, like the pirate spawns. I haven't played in a while, but they kind of over-tuned them in the last major update and they turned into an unending horde. It wasn't uncommon for me to see some systems that had like 30+ ships in them or en route somwhere. These would be broken up into fleets of 4 or 5 ships so it was pretty trivial for one of my murderfleets to park somewhere and clean them up. It just got really, really annoying having to deal with like 10 sequential battle prompts every turn. So, yeah, definitely not finished, but it's shaping up to be really, really good. I love playing as the Vodyani; they've just got such a neat gimmick.

So, uh, how exactly do you build armor units for ground combat? I have the tech researched, but there's no module or anything. I played tons of early access and was never able to figure it out.

I've been playing a game as the Vodyani and I think I've encountered a bug. I took over a system after wiping out the Cravers populating it, but there were still a couple of units of Guardians that stuck around. I sent an ark to the system, colonized it, but I can do absolutely nothing with it. I can't even uproot the ark. It's been a good 20-30 turns by now so I'm not sure what's up with it. I have a feeling the Guardians screwed things up.

The Unlife Aquatic posted:The Guardians are supposed to be unremovable. They're a form of leverage for the Unfallen on hostile empires. (If the Unfallen dislike you, they provide nasty maluses) It's a reproducible bug. I have had it happen to multiple colonies now.

I know it's already been said, but ground combat is some bullshit. I'm currently playing Cravers and started invading my neighbors around early- to mid-game. The first couple of planets went easily as they hadn't had a chance to build up. Then I hit a 3 planet system and ground to halt. I've spent like the last 20 turns ferrying manpower in and have only now managed to get through their population, preventing them getting more troops. Dropping a never-ending stream of invaders is Craver as gently caress, but this is just lovely gameplay. I typically wait until later when I can build up a dedicated bombardment/invasion fleet, but I figured I'd get a head start since I was playing Cravers. It wasn't worth it. Ground combat is really my main complaint about ES2 so I guess I can live with it. Hopefully Amplitude takes another look at it later. Space combat is kind of bland too, but at least it's not nearly as aggravating.

Onean posted:There's early techs for manpower modules. There's also a fairly early tech for a module that increases the siege damage you do, and it stacks both on a ship and across a fleet. You can have more than one of each class of ship. Building a ground combat focused fleet using the small class ships is perfectly possible early game.

Avasculous posted:The Craver questline reward is impressively lame. I agree that the faction questions are kind of lame so far. Surprisingly short, really. Endless Legend's were much better. The Craver's questline is all about rediscovering the Virtual Endless and either rejecting them or embracing them as their rules again. Results should be a bit more interesting than +2 Influence per destroyed command point.

Baronjutter posted:So now that this game is officially "out" will they continue to develop it like Stellaris or is this it? Because this feels like a pretty good start but the game still has some huge weakspots begging for expansions and patches. Just looking at their last 4X, Endless Legend, it got numerous expansions and each added a whole new mechanic to the game. Espionage, a new resource called pearls which were generated during winter, and eventually the oceans were opened up. Each also brought a new race built around the new mechanic. It's safe to assume Endless Space 2 will get a similar treatment.

In case anyone was wondering, combat still gives practically zero xp.
