I feel there are 3 phases in the game. (1) The early part, as played here. (2) When trading companies are researched and built, it boosts the economy a lot! -> Often leading to an economic victory, which is the reason why I turn the economic victory option off at game creation, as it often leads to a "game over" so early the game has barely started. (3) When perfect negotiations are researched, as now advanced treaties can be made with others. Sadly things are poorly balanced in many places. Example 23:58 "Bribe" is the worst choice, as "Traitor's Reach" is an isolated system with only one planet in it, you are better off without it! "Locate" is only marginally interesting as "Daily Slogan" gives 20% more growth for outposts. "Intimidate" is the best option as "Punisher Drives" gives +10% damage on your ships, for the rest of the game!!! --- A little trick I figured out to control what population to grow -> When the population on a planet is about to grow, you can see what kind of population it will become, when you can schedule population units to be sent off the planet (Depending on how much research is done in the economy quadrant.). If you do not want them to grow, you schedule them to be sent elsewhere, which causes the kind of population to grow to change to another of those still on the planet, and then you cancel the sending of population units (Put them back on the planet.). --- When you have perfect negotiations, there is a trick when making deals: If they are willing to... say... Pay 40% of their Blue cap mold for what you offer them, it tells you that you can get them to pay 40% of almost all the other resources they have as well! (I think that is poor game design... But... That is the way the game is.)

I love it how this game has a 'pacifist' option by just torturing the enemy into joining your side and that way expanding your army. I used that strategy as soon as it was available in this game.

2:09:48 - You can click on the Free Camera button, then select either one of your ships, or one of the enemy's, and rotate the camera so you can see the other side. Then you can get a great view of the action and see what's going on. The cinematic Auto-Camera mode keeps switching between ships, and you never get a view of the overall battle.
@Trifler5002 күн бұрын
2:08:55 - When you look at this screen, you'll notice the three rows of lines on each of your tactics cards. Each of these rows is a lane. At this timestamp, you only have enough ships for one lane, which is the middle lane shown in white, while the other two are greyed out. Each lane is divided into three parts, representing long, medium, and short range. The segment highlighted is the range your ships will try to stay in the longest if you choose that tactic. If you have short range weapons, such as autocannons, then you will greatly benefit from picking a card that races your ships straight into short range ASAP. On the other side of things, you can hover your cursor over each of the enemy ships to get a good idea of whether they are using long, short, or medium weapons. You can also see if they're using projectile or energy weapons. You can use that information to help you decide on a tactic as well. To simplify things, you can click on each of your tactics and see how full the circle is around your flotilla on the left. The tactic that fills it up the most is the best one for the current engagement. When you have enough ships for multiple lanes, then you will have two or three circles on the left; a flotilla for each lane. If you play enough to become accustomed, you can design your ships to align with specific tactics cards. While the battles are automatic, I've found it's very valuable to watch them and see how the ships react to the tactic you chose. Also, if you use torpedoes, you can only see how many of them are getting shot down by watching the battles. If two of your four torpedoes are getting shot down, then you're only doing half as much damage as the ship designer tells you.

This game always felt a bit soulless. Endless Legend still seems to be the Amplitude sweet spot.
@mendora55472 күн бұрын
Yea, I have play Amplitude's game ever since their Kickstarter day with the very first Endless space and the conclusion that I ultimately come to is this : They have probably the most beautiful visual and music of any video games in the market but ultimately lack any kind of substance (aka. soulless) the battle system are absolutely bland in Endless space and more annoying than fun in Humankind. The lore are actually really good but the writing suck so much that it sore the narrative and immersion, and the way faction and every components are represent make everything basically the same. (like Endless space's hero are all the same regardless of faction and backstories.) The only odd one out is Endless Legend. That game have fun game play, interesting mechanic that resulted in every faction actually play different in a very significant way, have decent writing, very interesting world map (crazy how a 10 yrs old game have overall more interesting 4x than Humankind.) and even if Legend's heroes are still basically the same, able to customize them actually manage to gave them distinct feel of personality. The first endless dungeon game was good too, but I don't feel like that game count.
