ENDLESS™ Space 2 is turn-based 4X space-strategy that launches players into the space colonization age of different civilizations within the ENDLESS™ Universe. Your Vision. Their Future.
I just read through the GDD about narration and I think that, on top of how awesome the new quest and reward system sounds, having an actual voice narration would be great. Just something to emphasise big events like completing a chapter or conquoing enemy. I feel it would add yet another layer of polish to what is shaping up to be an awesome 4X.
Voice-over is nice and adds a layer of polish, as you put it, but considering how expensive it is in terms of production, we have to look at whether it is worth the investment.
Yeah, i can't imagine it comes cheap, particularly with multiple languages.
I think the key is to find out the right places for it, as it can be a major source of immersion. I can still hear the Alpha Centauri tech tree voices to this day.

I have no idea where the costs lay, but what if you let the player base do it? Out of the 100,000's of us, a few have to have somewhat interesting voices? Make it a contest?
I agree with some of the suggestions though, find the right places for it. And definitely let us turn it off. No matter how much the immersion, after the nth time...

You already do voice-overs for each faction intro in ES1 and EL. So do the same for ES2. And it would be real nice if you add a voice-over for the victory screen. "A winner is you!" paragraph feels very anti-climatic when it's just that, not even an accompanying piece of art/narration...

I have transcended my feeble form as Sinnaj63 and become Sinnatio, the closest to Horatio a mere being such as myself can strive to be.
