Did anyone else play Stars! by Empire Interactive? ES reminds me of Stars most of all.

Here is a link to wiki for you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stars!

I agree, Ascendancy and BOTF.

i've only properly played galciv2 of that list, and i think that endless space and strips away the features that made galciv2 unnecessary complicated and frustrating. plus this will have multiplayer, which ultimately was the selling point for me. because no matter how much brad wardell of stardock banged on about his 'brilliant AI', you could always find a way to trick it.

I think its like MOO and Galactive Civ,

but it has parts that are in many games and some

otherss that make it unique.

In my opinion it seems to be a game that learned from the MOO and Galactive Civ series' with a little Sins of a Solar Empire thrown in. It is much better in many aspects then these games, but in others it is not as finished. But then it is only an Alpha and I can not wait to see what these guys release as a finished 'gold' once through the beta stage.

it kinda reminds me of a toned down sword of the stars, I just wish the game was real time in the way Pax Imperium 2 was, it would be the bomb!

Now that i've seen the youtube vid i'll definitely buy it and check it out myself - looks really good even at this early stage, looking forward to the features yet to come!

It has probably more in common with Master of Orion 1 than it's successor, though (I like both

I'd have to say that mechanically it feels a lot like Civilization crossed with Sins of a Solar Empire to me... Although I haven't Master of Orion or Galactic Civ so I can't comment on those

Distant Worlds Legends, just turn based and a little less involved (and a little less automatable) and multi-player. Both are great game though.

It is SOASE in a way only because of the strings creating direct paths to systems. It is less like Gal Civ2 in that way but more so in its turn based, modding ships, conquering systems, etc... way. They should take a page from Gal Civ 2 and have a feature where you can create a buildings list for newly colonized planets where you do not have to click on each structure for every new system.

It makes me think a lot of Space Empires, especially Space Empires IV.

(SEIII actually reminded me a little of Stars! so I might add Stars! too.)

Reminds me most of Sword of the Stars although I think this game has the potential to be better.

As mentioned before I'm currently considering to buy the pre-order version of this game. I would like to ask the people that already played the Alpha version what this game reminds them of most gameplay wise. Thanks for any and all input!

I agree with you, I don't understand the negativity surrounding GalCiv2 either. I do think the AI was a bit lacking past a certain experience point, but overall the game was neatly designed and fun to play.

I think Endless Space is a fantastic game and the games2Gether initiative is awesome so I am sure you will not regret your decision to pre-purchase the game. I haven't! I wonder why GalCiv2 gets such a bad rap - I thought it was an excellent game that was very approachable and playable and thoroughly enjoyed it.
