And it’s not just a bunch of ships vs a bunch of ships either. Speaking of the military action in space. Sure, the science branch holds some useful support modules for ships and the largest ship hull is “locked” in the advanced tier for the state, but if you just want to create a mighty war fleet, you can go without those, concentrating only on the military. But other than that four sectors can be researched pretty independently. To reach the more advanced tech, you must research a certain amount of technologies of the previous tier. “Tech-tree” is divided into four sectors – science/exploration, economy/production, military and state/society development. Planets, droids raise production by a fixed amount per planet, etc.ĭepending on what planets you have, each system has a different Bio-domes increase food output on all barren Is it worth to overpopulate the planet, sacrificing happiness over efficiency?

All resources are produced only on the planets and each one has a different rate of production.
You can’t cultivate an area of vacuum as you did with the lands around the city. Of course, Endless Space 2 isn’t just a copy of Sid Meyer’s masterpiece. Except, you can not only negotiate with them for resources and support but also assimilate them – by force or peacefully. Instead of the continents – constellations, that have all their stars connected by fast-travel “space strings”. For all we know, each of our turns takes millennia or just a few years.
Not to mention that just like Civ, everything is counted in “units” or “points” – there is no relation to any real metrics. Food to grow the population, Production to build, Science to discover new technologies, and even Dust as universal currency to buy things – these main resources are used in the same manner. Endless Space 2 still feels like Civ in many ways. Civilization in Space (II)Īs for the core gameplay, developers decided not to fix that was working.

Gameplay, and deep lore, Endless Space captivated 4X veterans andīecame a prominent event of the decade. But that took place among the stars and the planetary systems around them. With very little resources, aside from personal experience in the industry and passion towards deep turn-based strategy, developers managed to create quite an engaging game, that was probably most close to Civilization series. So, people were quite hungry for a new opportunity to conquer the galaxy. And even GalCiv had some strange design decisions, like having planets scattered all over the star map.

Aside from the over-complicated Space Empire, Galactic Civilizations was probably the only 4X space strategy series that managed to gain even relative popularity. When Amplitude released Endless Space in 2012, it didn’t have much competition.
