You have influence on many Aspects here: acquiring new territories, dealing with other races, designing and building space fleets, influencing the ideologies of your subjects and introducing new laws. Hey guys,after not playing for several months, due to university issues, I decided to pick up playing ES2 again. But, keep in mind that the capstone of the Exploration tree is what opens up the Wonder victory, so if you've got five planets with high Industry output, it may be better to skip the Scientific victory requirement reductions altogether and go for Wonder instead. Endless Space 2 is a continuation of a rather complex game about creating and expanding a galactic civilization. No stasis field that disables your ship for a number of turns, no ion cannons that disables your engines when shields are down, no gyro-destabilizer that spins your ship around so that you can only use 360º arc weapons because your opponent moved his ships behind yours after spinning you.
These are worth it, it actually is faster to get them first rather than trying to grind down the Tech & Industry tree. Concept Ship for Sophon faction, I did for the video game Endless Space developed by Amplitude Studios. So diplomacy is important.Īs for getting the scientific victory, remember that the military, diplomacy, and exploration trees all have a high-level tech to research that reduces the requirement for researching Pan-Galactic Society (the Scientific Victory tech).

A nation of restless, argumentative scientists, the Sophons eagerly take death-defying risks in the laboratory. Of course, this also means that money-making endeavors that are not impacted by taxes, such as Industry>dust conversion, are much more important to take advantage of, to lessen the amount of taxes you'll have to raise to stay in the black. This also means don't waste production time exploiting planets for dust, or building dust improvements that are impacted by taxes since you'll never get as much of a benefit. Remember that as the Sophons, you're going to be broke: making the most of the Sophon affinity means keeping taxes as low as possible without losing money in order to capitalize on the research bonus.
