I started a Let's Play as the Cravers when I picked up the game this week. Essentially they were the first race I had when I selected random.

Now I'm an avid 4x player and have been for years. Everything from Age of Wonders, Civilization, to the Endless Series. But I feel that my old 4x ways are interrupting my flow with ES2. We're talking old habits of how I should build up a race/tech up etc... Since the Cravers essentially get a boost from planets and then lose it once it is depleted I've found myself wondering how to move forward. Example: My home system has 3 Era 2 planets beside the homeworld so once my homeworld is depleted the system is stuck until I get to Era 2.

I'm always aggressive when I play strategy games as well. I push hard, and expand quickly which means very few systems are actually happy (Even though I like the boost when I'm at war) and I HATE it when a race beats me to placing an outpost (And it's going to take 20 turns to get rid of it when I blockage)


SO if you have the time, watch my first 4 episodes. Give me some feedback about adjustments (Episode 3 found me going bankrupt but still retaining my fleets) and I did not know that I needed to tech up so I could use Dust to hurry production.
