Turn times are nice as it computes a bit during turns. Finally a game which isn't tormenting core 1 only (Stellaris, I'm looking at you). It's not perfect but runs stable (not a single crash) and utilizes most of my cores. Galactic Civ, SoaSe, Stellaris and whatnot fade in the light of this amazing game.

The ships have slots where you can put in different weapons, support modules - all to your liking. You've different government types, a market place with over a dozen different luxury ressources. And the arks are for the first 30-50 turns the most powerful ships in the game which can't really be beaten by anything. They're a bit like vampires as they feed off other races. You build buildings on the ark and can de-anchor it and fly to another system, anchor the ark and just stay there. They don't live on planets but on huge ships called Arks. They utterly fun to meet and to make diplomacy with as they're goofy and have a 'high-five-mentality'.ДЄ really tough race to play are the Vodyani. Sophons are the classical MoO2 science race. Once colonizing techs are researched the minus vanishes. They can also colonize pretty much everything from the beginning with a minus. So you can get benefits from foreign population to make your main race pop better. Horatio are a clone race with the ability to split genes. You have to create vines (kinda roots) to star systems to be able to colonize them.ДЄlso every race has their quests and backstory. My game at the moment is Unfallen and it's so refreshing and different to everything before. They're happy, pacifists trees They get huge bonuses by making peace and alliances. Your actions strengthen or weaken political parties and affect the laws you can enact. The political party system is amazing, too. Which is an amazing alrounder and can buy things not just with credits (dust) but also by influence. Then you got the traditional human empire. Once a system is depleted, you move on to the next. They eat population and are a bit played like locusts. you've the Cravers which are a militarist race who deplete planets and get a huge production bonus early on. It's not just a different UI as in BotF and different ships with races which offer marginal differences in playstyle.ДЇollowing text may contain spoilers. What makes this game different is that the races play differently. There's even a huge official tool (ENFER) to read out AI decisions. When you're a 4x fan go get this game! I'm totally serious. The EA version had a couple of rough edges but nothing game breaking. So far the best 4x game for me in a while and I went through a mile of 4x games which all found their way to my dumpster at the end.Д®S2 was released last friday (May 19th). I've seen in steam that you got it and went there and oops: too late ^^ДЄnyway, I checked out Endless Space 2 and got the Early Access version of the game. Not sure if the successor is any worth, but not to the price point to me given my limited time. I guess for other regions it's similar, they probably dropped price so drastically to promote it's successor Endless Space 2.

I usually don't but to those still interested to have a look like me, till april the 17th there is a promotion on steam to grab the Endless Space Collection including the Disharmony DLC for just 1в‚¬
