Let's Play Endless Space
I. Introduction
A month ago while browsing around steam to see if there's is anything interesting, my eyes suddenly stopped on this little gem, "preorder for just 15bucks and you can play the alpha right now" or something like that was mentioned, so I said whatever and decided to bite the bullet and see what's all the fuss about. After about 40 hours sunk into the game I can honestly say that I'm hooked. The alpha was in a far more polished state then some other games were an year of patching after official release. There is nothing overly complex about it, no 3D map, no complex gameplay systems, just what we have come to expect from a solid 4x title, with a few little twists, but it is addicting. The "just one more turn" feeling is definitely there.
Or maybe I'm starving so much for a good 4x that I'm becoming delusional.
The beta came out a few days ago adding the rest of the races and multiplayer. Since then I've played a few SP and MP games and I think that the game is more than ready for release apart from some small issues, so decided to make an LP of it and see if it really lives up to everyone's expectations.
Without further ado:
II. Galaxy Settings:
I've decided to go with a standard galaxy setup: 4 legged spiral galaxy will will include all 8 empires, 2 in each leg, large size normal age.
If anyone has any other suggestions about the galaxy settings I would like to hear them.
III. Game Settings
Again I've decided to go with the standard settings: normal difficulty, normal game speed.
IV. Empires
Now comes the most important part of the game setup. Lets choose our empire!
The possible choices are:
So which one would it be? The jews? The eggheads? The Reapers? Or maybe the religious fanatics?
The choice is yours.
