You are a worthy ruler of your people. People will not ask for constant improvements, but the senate you created requires the gradual adoption of new laws. Engineers cannot sit without work, and the army gradually refuses to fight if no one trains and trains the soldiers. You are on an asymmetrical path as a warrior, a good politician, a merchant and a space explorer, in which only one thing can be more important than all of the above – the life you create on your base or planet.
To begin with, we are asked to distribute resources between institutions within the game. Construction of new buildings, hiring soldiers, equipping warships, laying trade routes. After you can assemble the first squad of scouts, the civilizations around you will be able to contact, sell their goods, buy yours. After this, the first wars will begin. Rivals can be avoided if you meet them in outer space, but if they themselves attack you, you will have to put the station or planet into combat mode.
At the beginning of the game you choose one of 8 races. Each of them influences certain characteristics of the people’s advancement. For example, rapid population growth, rapid resource extraction, increased improvement, rapid research. The resulting system contains several planets and one star. New ones appear according to the same principle: near a new or old star. Some of the planets are uninhabitable, so keep in mind that most planets will not be able to build a colony. In Endless Space 2 we will have to go to war with those with whom our ally from the Alliance is at enmity.
