Hi, I really love the concept of endless space but I have to say that the KI-programming is a fail. I never experienced that after spending lots of hours with a game in the beginner mode I could not win the game. Now my patience has come to an end and I will stop playing 'endless space'. What a pity - because it's really well done in all other respect.

So your'e complaining about something in a game that doesn't exist yet that you're apparently playing? Then proceed to basically not actually say what the 'problem' is either.

Moved to the appropriate section of the forum.



There are several ways of winning the game in Endless Space, provided these victory conditions are activated. As satoru said, a better description of the setbacks you've encountered would help us help you make it. If you need some tips, check out the Endless Space Wiki: http://endlessspace.wikia.com/wiki/Endless_Space_Wiki

This thread has been moved. The OP originally posted this in the 'Endless Space 2' section, hence the confusion.

Failed programming? Seriously? I understand you're having trouble progressing, but instead of blaming the software, you could try to improve your skill. There is lots of good information already on the forum, and there are people willing to answer your questions. Or give up and blame the software. Your choice.

Just practice and practice, fellow space explorer. You'll get there soon. And everyone fails in their first times anyway. Remember, we're all failures until we become the greatest we can be. So don't hate the game, okay?

I would disagree with you there. Whilst Endless Space absolutely has flaws, those are mainly around game balance, variety, the battle system and a few UI bits which could do with small improvements.

The AI however, is quite competent - especially if you've experienced other 4X titles.



The downside of this is that it's also a lot less forgiving. ES is a fairly fast-paced game for a 4X and that means you have a steeper curve. The early game often decided your longer-term fate, so it will require a few games to get things just right. A few guides may help you there.

You could give this guide a try, I wrote it absolutely ages ago for one of the early versions of the game. The early parts and basic principles absolutely still apply - just skip the bits that go into specifics surrounding ship design as the modules have changed a fair bit.

I so agree with this. Early game mistakes hurt a lot even at turn 60.
