Hey ho everyone,

i just saw a first view of how these battles on planets will look like. I am pretty sure they work on this but i think myself.. Why they dont use the battle system of endless legend for this ?! (not just as a 2-dimensional hologram version)

In my opinion this system was good. It was easy to understand. Fast. Nice to look at. Nothing special. :-)

For the implementation in Endless Space 2 they would need to change some details.
For example the scaling... the planet is huge an i think they need to use a larger number of hexagons. Put in some structures (maybe what the player has build on the planet) and just let the soldiers fight against each other..

The indivudual design of the battleground could be based on the planet-type.

If the player dont want to fight in "real-time-combat"  there is a auto-battle to save time. 

It is just a suggestion and maybe its too late for it but in my opinion this would make the game absolute perfect for me :-) 

What do you think about it?! (Devs Opinion included) xD

They could create a battalion-system to group up those thousands of units. That would make it easier to control them and i think if there is an auto-battle-option to skip the real-time battle, no time is lost if you don't want it. 

And a hands off battle-system.. maybe they could use my suggestion just for the visual style and let the groups/battalions do there thing on their own. I remember that in endless legend was an option to do something like that..
