Perestroika posted:I'm gonna have to disagree on this part, at least to a degree. In principle, I ought to love games like EL or Stellaris, but in practice I always ended up dropping ongoing games mostly on the basis of the presentation (or lack thereof). Most of the fun in a 4x is seeing your empire grow and evolve, but in there you didn't really see that happening outside of some numbers getting bigger and the borders moving about. To be fair, that's as much an issue of the space setting as it is of those games specifically, but it is an issue nonethelss. What are you talking about? It sounds like you lumped bad experiences with Stellaris in with experiences from EL. Are you confusing Endless Legend (EL) with Endless Space (1 or 2)? Endless Legend (2014) came out before Civ 6 (2016) and EL did the expanding districts different (arguably better, but definitely different). Did you only play as the Cultists in EL (limited to just one city)? EL borders jump with the regions as you colonize them, versus Civ-style (and Endless Space style) constantly expanding borders (from Culture/Influence). Your cities themselves constantly grow larger as you add districts in EL. I get that there's a discussion to be had comparing/contrasting the two different methods of border growth, but your arguments are all over the place and don't make a lot of sense. There's also a valid argument to be made that the EL/ES system is dense and they don't provide an intuitive interface and/or tutorial in order to teach you how it works. Makes me wonder how the cost/benefit of helping beginners looks according to their own business goals. Mizaq fucked around with this message at 05:40 on Aug 25, 2019 |

I had a difficult time getting a handle on Endless Space 2, and still only slightly get the migration aspect, mostly because of playing as the Horatio and deliberately trying to grow a specific population type. There’s probably some management of it that I could be doing better but the game gives you nothing to learn that from what I remember. Stellaris felt like all numbers to me, I went right back to ES2.

Gamerofthegame posted:yeah that part seems like it'll loving suck and I don't really know why they're going this route, particularly with a "historical" game Good thing you can just boot up Civilization to play just France! One of the articles references Amplitude saying that they are free to try new ideas because they're not shackled to the legacy gameplay of Civilization. I admit, I'd love to play a version of Civilization with modern features free of the tyranny of 1UPT, but I'm hoping Firaxis makes that, not Amplitude.

I expected more from the music, to be honest. Is there a way to unlock an alternate soundtrack? edit: this comment wasn't fair, I'm only on day one of the game. I apologize.

Solemn Sloth posted:There are 4 paid music DLCs on launch lol I don't understand what that is. Is it additional music? Is it downloaded mp3s? There's a DLC which is clearly an orchestral album of mp3s, but the four pack is poorly labelled.

I turned on the game clock so I could see the real time since this is full screen. There's a menu option and it defaults to off. Ok, whatever, once it's turned on you get a helpful clock in the top left... just while you are in the game's system menu.

Is there a hidden setting to turn off the auto-grey when you zoom out?
