So the Hissho are a minor race now. I would imagine the Pilgrims will get demoted similarly, hopefully not Horatio though.

Buckwheat Sings posted:I'd love it if they made humanity space baddies in this. Then they could have a great questline for a civil war revolt to redeem themselves! It's so boring how everyone always makes the human race a generic Startrek version instead of a Babylon 5 one. I liked the Empire in ES a lot. Cool imagery in their art, big blocky ships are my jam and plus they blended together authoritarian politics and Plutocracy.

Max posted:I plan on playing the Cravers like the Jem'Hadar if the Changelings had all died suddenly. That's basically the experience I had that hooked me on ES1. Finally figured out wormhole technology and jump through to the galactic core, OH poo poo the entire galaxy is overrun by Cravers and the wormhole back to my region just became the most important fortification in the galaxy.

I'd like to see UE maybe take on qualities from one of the smaller splinters (Pilgrim/Horatio/Shredyn) as a product of their story. I think that would be fun. The plot could be a power struggle and who wins is decided by how you've built your empire.

Jastiger posted:Worth getting early access or waiting it out for Endless Space 2? How is it shaping up, and whens the release date? I think it's improving since its first Alpha release, but it's definitely not a complete game yet. I bought it immediately, but part of that was because I want to support Amplitude and make the game better.

Just wondering what races will be in the final game. I can still hope for Vaulters/Mezari. The Mezari are in. That's apparently what humans are called now, according to the UE.

Clarste posted:In ES2, the Mezari are considered a subfaction of the UE. Mezari seems to have replaced the word "human" in ES2. "Subfaction" seems to be kind of an understatement. If you look at the population breakdown for a world, they use the word "Mezari" for everyone on the UE's homeworld. uber_stoat posted:I thought the Mezari were just the group of humans that at some date in the distant past colonized the United Empire homeworld. it's their name for themselves. the setting timeline is placed so far out in the future that Earth isn't even mentioned or remembered. Pretty much. The UE description says their homeworld was claimed by a "fleet of Mezari settlers" Defiance Industries fucked around with this message at 04:15 on Mar 18, 2017 |

Wild Walkers are the simplest and most straightforward faction. If you don't wanna deal with gimmicks they're your guys. Alternatively both Drakken and Vaulters have very powerful defensive safety nets you can fall back on.

Much like Cultists are the designated Play Tall faction, I think Vaulters are one of the best if you like to play wide because of their travel ability. I like to do that so I get a lot of mileage out of them.

My first game, I thought you could only upgrade the equipment on heroes, so the only way I could win fights late-game was to mass four or five heroes and use my unupgraded units as meat shields for them.

Sandwich Anarchist posted:I feel like Legend as a setting would be more interesting than Space, really. Honestly, there isn't much unique or interesting in Space; it's just an original sci fi setting, of which we have loads (Mass Effect, Star Trek, etc.). While Legend is a very neat blend of low technology and magic, with high technology and advanced poo poo mixed in, almost like Numenara. I think there's a lot interesting in the race concepts and the mini-stories that come from them. I like the Unfallen and their whole sentience being built around the dual role of fire in plant growth especially. Legend does have a lot stronger core story and presentation to it, thanks to being on a planet and all. It's a lot easier to build something for audiences to wrap their head around since that's also where we live.

I think a big difference between the Cravers and Hissho is that the Cravers need to roll over weak adversaries, whereas the Hissho can thrive while facing a more powerful enemy. It's not about chewing up worlds and needing new ones, they just need people to fight. The existence of the Cravers is always an existential threat, but hypothetically you could maintain a state of Cold War with the Hissho.

Going full aztec-samurai-death-cult is absolutely a viable option too! This sounds like an amazing concept and I am very excited to try it out

Morlugon from the Endless Legend subreddit has made a PnP conversion of Endless Legend into a system called FantasyAGE. Thought I would share it here. The document is pretty slick and got a big thumbs up from some folks at Amplitude. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WztQ4GPCdHjt5lLq-hcP7dfTH2Bzfdis/view

toasterwarrior posted:Using cultural transitions as indicators of progress is real interesting as an idea. I like the idea of moving from superpower to superpower to shape history. The movement of centers of power is something that historical 4X games have really struggled to model since they're, y'know, video games and so whatever you play as is the main character of the game.

I think there's a game in the idea of trying to find ways to operate a far-flung interstellar empire through hands-off methods and working through intermediary layers of authority, but it's definitely not a 4X game.
