Excellent Videos Excellent presentation 


Maybe you make a more compact generic guide about the general principles of the game.

Thanks for your video, has been very helpful indeed! 


What would be your suggestion for a more competitive Horatio faction?

I found that Horatio is really a late game monster, when going pure ecologist terraforming everyting into tier 0 planets with Super Biofuel factories (Chlorophyll Chemistry).


I think a small early game buff might top Horatio over to a very competitive faction.  



PS. Dear devs, really impressed with the state of the game right now, loving it :)

Haha, will do! We have a very long list of observations and suggestions, but we've found through our other massive suggestion dumps that in such massive overviews, the most interesting or important details often get overlooked or lost in the clutter. We are trying to categorize our thoughts to be more accessable (and hopefully more useful) to you devs and to the community in general.

There's always a few of us lurking on the forums apart from Frog, and we do read most of the posts - we don't always reply because either we're too short on time, or we don't have an immediate answer.

To make it short: do post your feedback on the forums! It will be read eventually :).

Good job!

Thank you for watching! Having devs watch is an honor. Keep up the awesome work! 


Also, as we've been playing we have compiled a list of things we'd like to see added or changed, especially to do with the Voidyani and core mechanics,  and would love to discuss them with you if you're interested.

Thx for the guide. For someone who hasn't reach 100 hours in the game its very useful. 


One a side note, I would also like to give my thumb up to the devs who takes time to listen to a guide and takes time to mention it. It's a very professional way to work and very encouraging as a customer to know

Really love the series, best in-depth guides I've seen, it's very good to listen to you explain. I've been following the head to head with huge interest and couldn't help but imagine how fun it would be to watch a game between you guys and other top players of the game!

Your understanding of shields is actually very different from mine, and considering we never got much combat detail its worth discussing.


You implied that shields add 120 "health" to absorb projective but gave 11% energy reduction to all attacks.


I am under the impression that their 11% energy reduction subtracts from the 120. So once the 120 is exhausted, shields provide no bonus.


Meanwhile hull plating works until you run out of health.

Hey guys,


Been really enjoying ES2 and since there hasn't been a lot of content going into detail about competitive strategies and optimized play, we figured that we'd make a series of videos showing how we've worked to optimize starting strategies for our favorite races.


Each video will be a 10 player game on Endless with Hard Minor Factions for max AI difficulty.


 I go through the first 30 turns of a game here to put us on the path to a nice pacifist snowball and discuss and show off some cool Horatio strategies and discuss some of their problems.



Please let me know what you think!

Best,

4xAlchemist

Thanks for the support!


We are going to put together a video on why the Voidyani are so broken and what we think the devs should do to fix them :D

Awesome, have been a sub on your channel since I got this game.  Learned a lot from you.  Just want to thank you for all your videos.  I see you didn't pick Vodyani,  they are broken but, not sure they would be a problem for the first 30 turns.

Hello there,


You maybe want to give a brief description of your video to entice players to check it out. What makes your Horatio guide unique? :)
