I want to like 4x games, pic related but the ai is just so bad it poses no challenge to me whatsoever.I dont look up guides or min max, I just colonize as much shit as I can the ai falls beyond in economics, and than its game at that point.Does anyone else feel the same?
No replies? Anyone?
play on harderhave a bump
>>743248789Use the community patch that fixes the AIalternatively play on harder difficulties
>>743248789I love this game so much and it really shines when you play it in multiplayer. I would love to play this again with real people. :(
>>743250585Can you link it?
>>743250838Its pretty populated on steamcharts but for whatever rreason theres no mp communities i can find, which is odd since 4x with a quarter as many people have active mp scenes.What mods did you play mp with? Or just vanilla?
>>743250338Ai behave won't change on harder makes no difference really.
>>743248789Speakin of Amplitude 4X games, when is EL2 exiting EA?
Old World is one of the few 4X games that actually feels challenging against the AI, and a lot of it is that it just gives units a fuckload of movement, gives advantages to attacker to incentivize aggression over turtling and makes maps open ended with sparse natural choke points so that the AI can actually fight without getting stuck in traffic jams.
Rare ES2 threadFavorite faction?
>>743251381vodyanibasic choice but they're the best
>>743251028>no mp communities i can findFrom what I have heard the connection inevitably shits itself and everybody starts desyncing after a couple dozen turns.
>>743250974NTA but it's very high up in the Steam Workshop.
>>743250838I love it as well. I however only play single player.I hate that they got free from Sega and make Endless Legend 2 instead of Endless Space 3.
>>743251381Cravers were always the obvious choice
>>743252105What would they even do with Endless Space 3? There are only so many mechanics to implement and only so many ways to play around with FIDSI.>better combatDon't make me laugh.
>>743251381Vodyani. I like how the boss lady's voice reminds me of Troi from Star Trek. Also I usually enjoy playing in 4Xs as factions that focus heavily on religion.
>>743250974can u not use google? are zoomers just brain damaged nowadays
>>743252240Don't know; don't care. I just want a new Endless Space. If it's just more of the same I'd be happy with it. Preferably with as amazing soundtrack as 2.
>>743252365>If it's just more of the samewhy not just play 2 over and over again? with multiplayer obviously
>>743252365>amazing soundtrack as 2.Can't argue that.Arnaud was fucking inspired when he made that OST. What's your favourite track? Gotta be Riftborn theme for mehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fM0JHl_EZJ8v
>>743251381Tree niggas
>>743251381Imperium of Man, love calling my centers of industry forge worlds and being able to just spam influence everywhere is really satisfying.
>>743252456>why not just play 2 over and over again?I already am.>>743252537>What's your favourite track? Gotta be Riftborn theme for meExactly the one you linked. Love that one so much. But it's one of very few game soundtracks where I can start the entire album on random and be happy with whatever pops up.
>>743252767>can start the entire album on random and be happy with whatever pops upUsed to be able to listen to some music at my office and that Album would just play on repeat for 8 hours every weekday and it took months for me to get tired of it.Only song I don't like at all is the main theme with actual singing.
I feel like with endless space 2, you enjoyers and fans are just playing it for the music, art and sound because those things are top tier, but the ai behaves the same each and every game, and they all play out the same wayYou can expand as much as you want and the ai won't do shit, can manage multiple fleets and just loligags around.I dont even want to be a mp pvp fag since 4x games weren't designed that way I just want somewhat engaging ai and more variance and curveball in my playthroughs.
>>743252571Based
>>743253053Basically.The devs obviously agreed with your points and tried mixing things up with the Academy faction.lollmao, even
>>743253053civ exists
>>743253053I swear people say this about every fucking 4X game. What example would you give of one with GOOD AI?
>>743253365civ4 vanilla clears 95% of people and pretty much everyone with better ai mods
>>743253365Ai wars 1 and 2, civ with vox populi, new world. Thats it off the top of my head
>>743253053Probably true. From what I understand, a lot of people who play Civ games single player play them for the ambience and roleplaying. I know I do.
>>743251381I like the Rifborn.
>all these guys saying the AI is too easyPlay with the AI modfix. They will hard punish you for overexpanding and will send rape fleets with 30+ ships to invade when you least expect it.
>>743248789Just spend 500 $ on Stellaris and DLC like everyone else.
>>743254102Are you talking about enfer reloaded? Be specific what mod you mean.
Would it be possible to make better AI for 4X like they did with the OpenAI that beat Dota2 champions? Apparently it took months to train but that was also seven years ago. I'd hope they've got more efficient ways of doing it now? Of course there would need to be some ways to nerf it so it wasn't raping humans constantly.
>>743251381H O R A T I O
>>743253365Old World, Remnants of the Precursors, Stars in Shadow
I wish ES2 had solar system menus like stellaris where you could see the orbit, not just a chart
