Faction Creation Contest | Game Design

Hey guys and gals!

Thanks to all of you who participated, voted, or both! The Endless Space 2 Faction Creation attracted 185 submissions! There were some hiccups along the way, so we tried to find a compromise that would be the fairest to all participants. To that end, we selected the top twelve most popular entries, instead of the usual three. We know this doesn't solve all issues that were brought up, but we hope this alleviates them. Moving forward, we'll be proceeding a little differently to make sure that everybody gets a fair chance.

Without further ado, here are the most popular Major Faction designs! Click on the entries for a link to the submission threads proper, to check out what their gameplay entails! Click the icon to vote for a submission!

PLEASE NOTE THAT AT THIS STEP YOU CAN ONLY VOTE FOR ONE SUBMISSION AND CANNOT REALLOCATE YOUR VOTE!

Summary: Sentient Trees

Author: DevildogFF

Bio:

Soft spoken, giant beings with a shared consciousness, The Unfallen's oldest are thousands of years old. The oldest of which are selected to live on as sentient battleships when duty calls. Saplings, Unfallen that are less than 500 years old, are generally the work force as they are much smaller and use their tree limbs to manipulate basic machinery and work to establish infrastructure. They are the natural enemies of aggressive species and after losing many planets to their destructiveness, have developed specific defenses to them. Their long history as slaves have led them to raze themselves rather than have one of their planets occupied.

In a time of crisis, The Unfallen use a mixture of seeds and sporelings to...convince a friendly faction to come to arms on their behalf.

Once chosen for the task, the elder trees are molded in to monstrous defensive battleships that are surprisingly more heavily armored than even the most advanced of other's battleships. They exist simply to defend their planets from invasion, however, and don't fare well on the offensive (though enough of them can overcome that weakness).
