Been enjoying EL2 so far, though there are definitely a few kinks that need sorting out.Necrophage seem quite strong (no surprise, really), once you get past the initial phase of keeping your larvae alive long enough to advance.Tahuks seem to be pretty susceptible to getting screwed over in battles by tree-heavy terrain, with 3/4 of their units being ranged and therefore losing 30% damage on basically every attack. I haven't played them far enough to get into the higher tiers of units like wrathbearers, but it really seems like you'd need to go mostly infantry in order to not have your units gimped by terrain or by enemies moving past your front line.Tier 1 strategic resources seem absurdly rare compared to T2 or even T3, an issue that is compounded by the world market constantly being out of titanium. I'm also not sure how I feel about one strategic resource being the "military upgrade" resource, while the other is the "settlement improvement" resource. Seems like you could easily get screwed out of not being able to upgrade settlements or units if you miss one or the other.And while I think the hero friend/companion system is interesting, getting events where your necrophage hero bumbles through getting an anniversary gift for their ametrine (rock golem) lover just feels absurd.

Still haven't bought the awakening DLC. Which race should I play next? I'm still missing samurai birds, hacking farts, shapes dudes, teleporting vikings and that's it I think.

the first endless space was amazing. I hated the dlc though. Everything after that was really meh.

Wtf how do I beat the necrophages? They swallowed up all the other factions except for one. Playing on impossible difficulty. They are going to win a scientific victory soonAm I supposed to expand more with the Kapaku? I know one mistake I did was not expanding next to strategic resources earlier because I thought the Volcanic Leecher was a tile improvement that needed to be on the resource instead of a city wide improvement. I also didn't realize the volcanic terrain generator was 7 tiles large.
Probably unhappiness from expanding would be offset by luxury goods gained from expanding.

Does Endless Legend 2 still have the same fucking tech/research tree for every faction?

Awakening dlc got fixed. If you bought the game because of sseth then I'd advise you to listen.
The Nakalim hunt for artifacts. They cannot produce science on their own without artifacts. These artifacts can be assigned to temples, heroes, or the civ itself.
Everything about the Academy has been fixed. Options have been added to tweak the Academy ai. It means you could make him a single system entity who protects said system with a powerful fleet. He doesn't forget about the donors, as donating to him will grant you favor. Favor can be used for a civ specific buff (nakalim relics, hissho keii per turn). You can also request a fleet, a system they own, or protection from a player led crusade.
Definitely the space pols. It's fun to raid other players under the guise of a pirate mark. Find pirates lairs, ally with pirates so you get an additional teleporter, mark a system, disguise your fleet as a pirate fleet, and raid to your hearts content.

Why are the AI so strong specifically on riftborn at higher difficulties? Pretty consistently they will have wiped out 2 factions on their own even if I never run into them.

i loved dungeon of the endless and looked forward to endless dungeon for years, just to hear it's a buggy mess with a shit game underneath.
i should probably pick it up when it's on sale and try it for myself, but i feel i'll just be even more disappointed.

So, I learned that the only luxury that matters for the Umbral Choir is anything that gives approval in order to counteract the penalty for having too many colonies.
Also, the Riftborn have the most beautiful theme.

Man, having the corsair ability is so overpowered against the AI.
I can park a fuckhuge fleet of planet-cracker privateer carriers right on their worlds (protected by another fleet of privateers that are your good powerful ships, not the mercenary dregs you can buy on the market), and then blow them up, even when you have a truce, and there's nothing they can do about it.
They can't even complain to you that you're being a mass murderer, because those "pirates" who have planet-cracking technoloy are anonymous, haha.

Kal'Tik'Ma-law is extremely good because of the bonus movement.
Multiculture always wins in this game.

the trait combo of ghost and corsair together is so disgustingly overpowered.
Invisible privateers terrorizing the starlanes ahoy.

>try to play a hissho game on the new patch

I don't get this, I had zero issues at all with this faction before this update. If anything it was one of the easiest to do well with.
I know that system defences are stronger but that's not the issue I'm running into. It feels like Keii gains got absolutely gutted somehow.
If I could reach the point where you actually finish the Behemoth quest so I could start mining I'm sure it'd become simple again, but I just get completely crushed before it finishes.

Best Endless game.

Never once have I gotten a reward for the behemoth quest. Am I underspending on military science? Barely seems worthwhile except for tier 1 maybe tier 2 bonuses. Then again I never played birdsguys

Anon03/02/26, 16:48No.2354511
Am I just crazy or are behemoths a bit of a noob trap? I don't think I have ever had a game where I build one and its a significant impact on my empire's plan. Remote mining just seems.... bad, having it float around a planet to provide passive boosts is okay albiet very expensive for the bonuses provided unless its endgame, and military behemoths need tons of military research to make them good.

>start unfallen game on a colossal galaxy

>start just close enough to the minor civ cluster that it's suddenly a temptation
>prioritize vining towards them
>1 turn away from vining pulsos and getting thinkers & tinkers 1
>umbral choir assimilates them and deletes them from the map
deleted my save game right there
i mean i expect to not get minor civs as unfallen but don't dangle the absolute best one right in my face and then take it away at the last possible second
