I noted that this new expansion for Endless Space 2 is billed as "the last expansion..."


What comes next?


By the way, have you guys ever considered using Smalltalk as a development language?

Well, judging by previous releases I would say the next expansion will bring back another race from ES1 as a playable faction along side a new  game mechanic.



If I were to guess, t would probably be something like:  



1) The Amoeba + enhanced diplomacy/some new mechanic that focuses on diplomacy, OR



2) The Automatons + a new pollution/ecology mechanic or something to do with Mega-engineering( building ringworlds/artificial planets/ecumenopoli)




It's all speculation of course.... but based on their previous releases, I will make an educated guess and say the next faction will be the Amoeba/Harmony/Sowers/Automatons, it will be either Ecologist or Religious because we only have one of each so far and all the other political affinities have 2-3 right now and it will have some new mechanic based on their lore flavour that they really excel at compared to others.









Or we could just get Space Pugs dressed in pink tutu's that ride magical unicorns.... it's a bit too early say for sure, although the Automatons have been suspiciously absent so far.

I think you're mistaking 'last expac for Endless Legend' for ES2, unless I've missed something.

The amoeba as a major faction would be great. I loved their design in ES1. And some new diplomacy functions would be great, specially involving alliances. I´d love to be able to expel a member of the alliance or steal an hostile alliance´s member to create a new one and so on... New treatises, more depth in the relations between factions, all af that would be great. Also, diplomatic victory could have a comeback.

I would love to see the Amoeba return too however I think it is unlikely, although I wouldn't rule out Automatons if they were planning on having yet another returning faction seeing as they haven't been mentioned at all in ES2 as a minor or major faction. I think the most likely scenario for the future might be an entirely new faction but I am only theorising. Amoeba were one of my favourites of ES1 though and I agree some new diplomacy mechanics and the return of diplomacy victory could be interesting for another dlc.
