Hey everyone,


The Play-to-win Community Challenge is over! Our target was 250,000 unique players to unlock all six rewards, and you were over 240,000 to have played on Monday evening. With a few minutes to spare and seeing all that you had accomplished so far, we decided that the nicest way to thank you for your involvement was to give the progress bar the little nudge it needed to reach 100%, because you totally deserved it. Congratulations to all, and thanks for playing!




Here is a recap of all the rewards:

NEW PLANETARY ANOMALY
    Adds the High Energy Plasmasphere anomaly to the game, to discover, research and harness!

SHIP MODULES PACK
    Equip your fleets with the powerful Energy Squadrons, Swarm missiles and Railgun modules.

NEW POPULATION EVENT
    An immigration crisis is shaking your population. Do you have what it takes to save the Remnant refugees?

NEW GALAXY TYPE
    Adds the new 6-branches spiral type to the galaxy generation engine.

NEW ACADEMY HERO
    Recruit Burra Techseeker, an amphibian hero famed as a teacher of planet-scale technologies and industrial systems

MEZARI UE FLEET SKIN
    Blast from the past! Unlocks the ancestral Mezari fleet skin for the United Empire.



As a thank you for your huge participation, we have decided to keep the 50% off promotion going for another day! All these rewards will be unlocked in an upcoming update, slated for December, so are at most a few weeks away!


What's the reward you're the most excited for?

playing a new galaxy would be fine, but most of all I'm looking forward to the new fleet skin of the UE (a new skin for my first playthrough with UE)

I'm really curious to see how the new modules impact combat. Although I'm definitely a fan of new galaxy types!

For me it was the new hero I was most excited about - nice to see him returning from ES1!

Not at all.  I'm definitely looking forward to the new galaxy map.  I wasn't sure we were going to complete it when it started, but I really hoped we would at least finish the new galaxy map, because the ones I was really interested in were the new ship modules and that galaxy.  As much as I love additional optional skins for using on our empires (I love the Cravers Prime skin), honestly, I'm not the biggest fan of the Untited Empire and play them the least as a result.  But by all means, bring in more skins lol.  I especially want a new skin for the Sophons.  As much as I love the Sophons and their ship designs in general.  I'm not a fan of the overly white plastic looking aesthetic.  Reminds me too much of Apple products lol.  So I would love to see new optional skins for all the factions, but the Sophons are the ones I would really love to see a new skin for.


Thanks again Amp for the free stuff.  Really looking forward to it.  That was actually a really fun way of getting more content for what is currently one of my favorite games.

One of my favorite things about the game are how you lot at Amplitude make planets looks visually distinct, and very beautiful. I'm quite looking forward to the new anomaly, and jazzed about another hero. That said, the entire set of unlocks is exciting to me, can't wait!


Congratulations on what looks like a massively successful weekend! I convinced one of my friends to buy it over the w/e, and I have been seeing tonnes of complimentary feedback :)

New Galaxy type is the best for sure if the Mezari UE Fleet skin is not selecting just clicking the fill with color button and replacing red parts to orange part!!

It would be dope if it was a slick Total Mezari style skin.

Yeah, one of my friends who tried it during the weekend, I asked him what he thought.  His response was hard to forget.  He said he loved it, but couldn't afford to get it.  And then got discouraged and ended up wasting what time he had left to play it.  Basically he ended up playing another game, because he liked Endless Space 2 so much he couldn't bare the thought of continuing to play throughout the weekend only to lose access after the weekend freeplay because he couldn't afford to buy it out-right during the weekend sale.

Really cool! Looking forward to Railguns a lot. I imagine they'll be kinda like lazors but with more of a punch, literally. Other things cool too, though I guess I need to stop the bad habit of playing with random galaxies for the 6 arm to really make sense.


And of course, it's great for the system to have been rigged in our favor, for once, after we almost came really close.

none that is "le plus something". These are all interesting little additions in their own way.
- A new form of galaxy? Ok it extends the choice of part parameter
- new weapons? ok if they are more powerful than the existing ones and thus offer an interest in 2nd half of the game.
- a new anomaly? ok it may be something to choose primarily in some cases and especially when we build just because finally "we must build everything" (the lack of discrimination is still quite marked, there is  still balance to do, the particularity to intensify)
- a new event? it will bring a little diversity if the parties hang in length (for me it's still the case).
- a new hero? ok it will avoid even more the risk of falling on the same ones when one plays several times the same species.
- a new ship dressing? it may be the least interresting, we do not often look closely it's a  management / strategy  game that requires a remote view to be more comprehensive.


My son has try the game. He said me he doesn"t understood what he had to do (of course that is not LOL lanes...). A friend of me tried it too and said it was too obscur also..

As I only fell into the Endless universe last week, heavily I might add :) I am happy with all, but I really like the look of the UE skins. A total show of class that you nudged the total over for the community, shows the respect that is rare to find which I am sure goes both ways. Thanks again for letting us play in your creation!


PS I love the art books in the Endless Space and Legends...... will there be a chance of getting an Endless Space 2 to cap off the collection?? Pretty Please With Cherries on top.

The skins will be relatively interesting if you switch to them with UE main quest.
