Hi, it's me again, I kinda missed the hype with spamming forums with steam guides, but I am here to make up for it, with my old as jerusalem (but up to date!) guide featuring combat tips, pro tips, noob tips, mid tier tips and all other tips all closely combat related. 

Here is the link: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=940579911

You might wonder why is this a steam link and not an actual text? Yeah I tried that, sounds good, doesn't work. I like to keep it up to date and that really works if you only have to edit it once. Thanks for getting it.

Have a nice day.

The Unfallen. I've found them quite intriguing and have developed some ideas about how to play them, that is against the AI at least. I would find it interesting to get your take on how to use them in multiplayer. Such as early fleet designs, for example, the composition i tend to go with is needles and wells as "tugs". I have watched many of your videos and from what I have learnt by observation so far has helped me a great deal. And yes, your guide was quite useful. 

Yeah, give up on faction balancing, go custom factions.
That's the way ES1 was played and I can see why.
The only issue in ES2 is that visuals and heroes are tied to affinities... which this idea proposes to change.

Here is the list of vids I made so far, some have incredibly bad audio, in some I mumble, but some are actually decent and can help you:

You get all the factions in various but predomintantly multiplayer settings.
I went ahead and compared them to some "expert" guide videos out there and I  would like to believe that I provide a tiny bit more insight, but I talk less and do things a bit faster on the go as in a real game against real players. So pay those a visit if you want some free cancer.

You can also check out my twitch channel, from where I now export those videos. Sometime the bitrate goes to hell, but usually it's smooth and enjoyable experience, and sometime I even read the chat and you can ask my questions on the go. Since mostly I have nothing to do during the end turn waiting anyway.
