I am wondering if it would be possible to make a new game Endless Space with the UI and planet mechanics from Endless Space but with combat system from Endless Legends and some adjustments like this (IMHO):

1. Keep the planets and improvements from the ES but make the improvements to be related to number of people in the solar system and the number of planets (more people more improvements ; more strategic options ) and improvements for few types of planets not for vast majority.

2. Tech tree like EL but more percentages for a specific race like: everybody get shields for 1st era but X and Y race have shields with x percent better the other race and the some thing with food, industry etc ( same tech tree but sow many differences between races).

4. Add to the diplomacy espionage ( if I manage to infiltrate to the enemy planets to know to number of planets, ships and current technology) and stealing technology ( I want shield form x race and rockets from Y).

5 Make the strategic resources to give bonuses not restrict technology. Like if I have 1 planet with titanium it will give a bonus of x percent to my shields and if i have 4 planets a larger bonus and so on.

6. Combat screen with hexes but with limit range for ballistic and energetic weapons and no limits for rockets and fighters. ( this will make 1 st phase for long weapons to be the same and the medium and close combat to have the same importance but with more options for the player) and please keep the battle cards system is one of your marks:P.

7. Make the defense systems ( apart from the flacks) of the ships to counter in x percent all weapons. Shield will counter the energy weapons damage for 50% but in the same time will protect the ship for 25% against rockets and ballistic weapons, something like this.

8. No engines to the ships no movements points ( nobody put engine to the ships now). And this will make viabil to build stationary defenses platforms or defenses tower in EL :P.

9. Add attrition like in EUIV for the ships in enemy territory and for retrofitting ships.

10. For retrofitting ships make so that this will be done in friendly territory and cost in the same time industry and money ( more industry faster retrofitting for the ships).



If one of this humble suggestions will get in to one of your games I will be happy. But anyway thanks for ES and EL ( ones of the games that change the 4X gen

der)

Just on the off chance anyone from Amplitude reads these post:



ES2 - PLEASE HAVE THE 'BIG UI' OPTION LIKE IN EL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



I'm hoping ES2 will be after the EL expansion-back.
