New EL achievements, from reddit Curious about the highlighted one. Win while in an alliance? Demiurge4 posted:Aren't the Mogwr basically the weird hosed up dudes you fight in Dungeon of the Endless? Looking at the enemies they're all either minor factions, necrophage or chimera. Chimera zombie maybe?

HiKaizer posted:I played a game as Sophons and I was always so broke. Their science is nice, but I was always struggling to make ends meet for a fleet of 3 attackers and a hero. Pacifists won the senate and never let go. Isn't one of the pacifist laws something like +20% to dust from trade? Dust generation seems like it's their thing.

To be fair I had dust issues related to ships at the end of my sophon game too but that was because I just kept making GBS threads them out all of my systems which had nothing left to build  Also I had terrible approval from over expanding causing pop to drop constantly.

Are there any techs that let you convert industry to anything else this time around? I hate leaving my queues empty...

Must have overlooked it while beelining for military techs for ENFER. Would definitely have helped me though, had some great industry planets towards the end.

Demiurge4 posted:Siphons have the fun ability to research era 2 techs from the start. Sadly they don't seem to actually get the T2 weapons from the tech until you actually progress to that era so no crazy Sophon war supremacy from turn 3. That said I'm gonna try getting the T2 ships and see how they fare against a craver AI in era 1. I lost a battle before my first election which helped push the pacifists to a majority and take that law away from me

Dallan Invictus posted:-Influence generation so some neighbour AI doesn't overwhelm your influence sphere and lock you out of your own planets with a Close Borders Took me far too long to realise it was influence doing this, a lumeris system was threatening to take over the entire galaxy this way towards the end of my first game. Dallan Invictus posted:And the AI will DOW you very quickly after meeting, especially if they're Cravers, so you ALSO need to tech up weapons and build enough ships so they don't roll over you when they do (or at least so you can hold out long enough for the forced truce - how or when does that even work anyway, the game never explains it?) I think this (the quick DOW and forced truces) are a feature of early access only, to make sure people get to experience war but not be able to just dominate the ai straight away.

I've been playing through more EL games to the end (I'm really bad at getting myself to play past the midgame in 4Xs) and just won a scientific victory with the forgotten, which I though was kind of amusing. I don't know if it's a lot in general but towards the end I was generating a fuckton of dust. Easily over 20k per turn. Looking forward to starting my next game with tempest.

The wild walkers are a good starting point when just learning the ropes. Good industry production and they can see where all units are in areas adjacent to ones they've settled. They're the least gimmicky in terms of the asymmetrical design.

toasterwarrior posted:Any major features gated behind the DLC for Endless Legend? I don't have a lot of spending money at the moment so I can't buy the DLC, but I don't mind playing without the new factions. The bundle is only £13 and only the very latest dlc is missing. If that's still too much then the base game is still good, though I do personally like what Shifters and Shadows add. e: to expand more on features, shifters adds new a new type of resource, mechanics and improvements/buildings relating to winter as well as a faction whose strengths change when the season does. Shadows adds the ability to spy on other cities and a faction based on that and pillaging and so forth. Overminty fucked around with this message at 21:50 on Oct 13, 2016 |

If you're making regular use of cat's paw and dissent it can get quite expensive. I think it's costing me something like 200 inf for a roaming army around turn 100 now. I also don't remember how much black mark costs. Does attacking a fortress in an ai controlled ocean require being at war? I want to say it doesn't but I don't remember.

cerious posted:The name of the game is pillaging, I think in tech era 3 the pillaging rewards become really substantial that if you invest in the pillage time accessory for the forgotten heroes, you can fully pillage a tile in one turn and acquire mass amounts of dust, resources, etc. Stealth lets you get around pillaging stuff and running away without the AI knowing where you are, and you can bait the AI into picking fights while you have substantial reinforcements waiting on the sidelines. Rinse and repeat until your armies simply outstat everyone else, at which point you can walk over enemy capital cities. Echoing this. Don't forget to pillage lookout towers too, there's no risk at all because you can get them from your own borders and you need all the dust you can get.

There's been a couple more minor faction reveals in the last day or so and they've just announced the next major going into the next update. https://twitter.com/Amplitude/status/801425074494455808 I never played as them in the original, I assume they play as standard military types. As for the minors https://twitter.com/Amplitude/status/799645348104957952 https://twitter.com/Amplitude/status/800733615881474050 https://twitter.com/Amplitude/status/801088187653386240 The Z'vali bonus seems pretty good if you keep approval up.

The update will be available tonight on the beta branch. Apparently it's password protected but they'll be making it public on the site, facebook etc later. Horatio's unique ability seems to be something called splicing. Their pop units can gain permanent fidsi boosts by splicing other races that settle on their planets. Their ships are more expensive than normal, because they have to be beautiful, but will be more versatile than others. Not clear on how that's the case. There are 3 new minor factions, including the community created one. Former pets that collect endless artifacts? Wasn't concentrating at that point.

New battle mechanics are in. Cards are back but you now arrange them into a deck. Looks like you can have 5 in said deck. There's a cooldown between swapping cards out but you can pay influence to bypass it. The battle setup now let's you arrange your ships into flotillas, so you can mix up long range, short etc. There's a scan view in battle now. Lines represent ships trajectory and you can see their targets. Not sure entirely how useful this will be.

The splicing bonus is tempered by a couple of things. The first is that it destroys one of the pop units you splice. The other is that the food requirement for pop growth goes up. The bonuses seem to be about 1/2 or 2/3rds of whatever the race normally has.

Clarste posted:The idea is that the Horatio are perfecting themselves by using alien genes to turn themselves into perfect people that are better than everyone else. The fourth one they did on the stream only used 1 pop, don't know if it's just not been implemented as you say though.

Clarste posted:Well, I might have mistook what I saw, but I'm pretty sure they were talking about that penalty. Specifically that you'd have to be careful about the order you splice them in. I was trying to be sneaky at work and had a small window open so maybe I just didn't see it properly

StrixNebulosa posted:That lines up with what I'm seeing, thanks - that seems like a particularly egregious bug for the game to have, but...well, Amplitude, small studio, everyone's probably busy with ES2. Tbf there was a patch with bug fixes just on thursday It's worth having a look on their forums and seeing if it's already been raised or not. The devs are pretty good about responding.

Ragingsheep posted:The thing I'm having trouble with is that there are so many loving techs that I really don't understand which one to research first. I usually go for ones that allow me to colonise one or two new planet types and the ones that let you travel outside of wormholes just to start with.

Flipswitch posted:Is there a way to change the resolution outside of the game? Mine has spazzed out and made it so big I can't even access the confirm button in the options menu to change it back. It's locked so I can't even move it about. Not at my pc right now so I can't confirm this but have you checked the documents folder for Endless Space 2 to look for an ini or xml file? I think there was one for Legend called Registry.xml
