222 hrs spent... *Looks at number, takes a major lean back* your BACK! Oh sacred number! (This number seems to follow me everywhere.)

Well, Civ has a bigger research tree doesn't it? And it takes a lot longer to research it anyway

No, not at all.

it's probably a mod.

I've got 140 hours in-game and it has not gotten old at all! I could seriously keep playing this game for a long time.

wow... it's been a year since this forum was our playground

true, although I sometimes slack because deep down I don't want to start a fresh game before the newest content is added..

Maybe if we actually had the time to play 4-6 hours a day than many of us would have that many hours. Yes, I am envious

I have, but I play also EU III and that is not a short game when you take a grand campagne (= over 400 years...). So, my hours are actually 'part time gaming' for ES.

For all of you saying you've put in 200+ hours in multiplayer - where do you find people to play with? The steam group's chat room is always empty, and it won't let me send messages to individuals in the group for a pick-up game.



I'm at 267 hours, almost all of which is single player. I've only just recently started playing multiplayer with some friends of mine. It'd be really awesome to get a 8 player game going though, and I only have three friends who regularly play ES.

Only 70 or so, but then I'm not retired, have 3 small children and a steam/GG/GoG/Gamestop collection of about 200 games, most of which are strategy for ES to compete with

You sir are a busy man...! lol

35 hours. i dont really excuse it since it is how long i have been playing it, i play alot of games.

Yikes, I'm at over 400 hours.... Maybe I should go and see if my dog needs to go outside...

I haven't even tried MP yet. I'm waiting for a few more features before I dip my foot into that pond.

I never even tried searching for people in groups. I just message people I know saying: "hey, wanna play ES?" [SUB]and then they say no and that I'm obnoxious and boring [/SUB]and that's it. Having a small group of friends who have ES is a better way then searching for new players in groups imo

At this point? I would go and contact a renovator straight away. Until the renovation is done thou can continue playing ES. No need to stop now.

There are groups on Steam, like "Endless Space multiplayer" and probably tons of others. But like any other multiplayer, you just go and play a game, have fun with some people, add them and play with them again another time. Use the forums, the Steam discussions too!

Well he can't just neglect ES, now can he? /shudders at the thought

563. All single player. Still play, tho less often then before. GW2 has it's claws in me :} Dunno how many hours in that, tho have 636 in Skyrim and 575 in Mount and Blade:Warband. All depends on what kinda game mood am in. Those are my primaries.

Wow, that's a lot. At least you get your money's worth out of them.

17 hours, I'm a newbie, to ES but not to 4X. I'm still getting to know the more intricate connections beyond the main mechanics, but I'm pretty confident I'll win my first game soon enough But don't get me wrong, I'm having a blast getting my ass handed to me, I love finding out what you can't do, my slight OCD likes finding out which strategies don't quite cut it

I have 328 at present but I have some good experience of it.Latter I got backache and was not easy to play it.Know I am on bed rest of 5 days and I have replaced my mattress as per my GP advised.
