Hi everybody! I've been working on doing Let's Plays as each faction in ES2 to showcase the differences in gameplay between each. My earlier LPs have been on easier difficulties and more oriented as tutorial-style videos to help beginning players. This one turns it up to Endless difficulty to show off what real wars look like!

I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for watching. =)

excellent, i am always looking for more youtube channels that have lots of Endless Space 2 vids, i'm enjoying this game a lot, and still in the learning phase. it's kind of sad that the popularity of this game is no where near that of Civ 6, despite the fact that Civ 6 is worse than Civ 5 lol. 

Sorry to hear that my gameplay doesn't meet your standards. This isn't the cleanest win ever, and probably wouldn't have worked nearly as well against a skilled human opponent, but it's definitely sufficient to beat endless difficulty AI in 80 turns.

This should be the first thing you had to say, but i agree. Also its possible to do even at 60 turn or early if we speak about capture main only. You also learn xenobiology first okay good, so UPGRADE engines after that lol, just stay at system for 1 turn and get move points bonus, its just pain to look how people give up this opportunity.

I checked your first video real quick. Looks fine otherwise but two things that bugged me slightly.

1) If you play on max difficulty, I don't think it's really necessary for lengthy introductions on mechanics etc. Tutorial gameplays are fine on easier settings. If I watch someone play "pro-like", I like to see him/her go out full throttle guns blazing. If I can't keep up with what's going on, then I myself need to backtrack and learn the mechanics. Maybe it's just me.

2) Video quality. I can put it only up to 480p. I understand there might be technical limitations but I think having higher resolution is a sure way to get more audience. A lot of people are stingy that way. 1k HD minimum for let's plays.

And well done on beating it on turn 80! I take double the time.

It's good to see some Cravers gameplay on youtube :)

If you could pull it off: I'd be interested in an all Cravers Deathmatch in a bigger Galaxy. Best be played after the small ships bug is resolved.

@HappyDust: I think the point is if videos like these are engaging and entertaining. Sure, 4xers do care about efficiency and what are the best ways to do what. However, many ways lead to Rome and I think people like the OP should be encouraged.

Watched the first couple of videos. You have a playstyle similar to mine which is good cause I would make the same decisions you did in most circumstances. A win is a win, so yes, you may not have fared as well against humans but I bet you would have played differently against human players methinks.

I'll put this on in the background while I'm doing some work today! Thank you for the effort you put into this! <3

I have not finished your game yet, and it's kind of my thing for today, but I have to say I adore your speaking style and your little roleplays. You remind me why I never stream; there are just players like you who do it so passionately well! <3
