Really REALLY wanted to enjoy this but the mechanics were so poorly explained and I absolutely could not get to grips with playing a 4X using RtWP
Ended up going back to Endless Space 2 for scifi strategy play
I think it was mostly just how much stuff it was throwing at me at once to the point I felt like while I tried to get to grips with one aspect of the game I was therefore falling behind on another. That compounded by the fact it's not turn based meaning everything just kept flowing by meThings have moved on a bit since MOO2 you know
What didn't you get about the mechanics? I'm not helping with this, but this is by far the easiest PDX game to get into.
I've got all the DLC, I just find the game far too defensive and unlike the EU/CK games there are just huge empires and no little folk to attack so I've just found everyone gets borders, loads up on defensive pacts and then the game just goes tedious. Five saves it's happened now and I can never force a war against 3 or 4 empires solo.
Make loads of empires and randomize them the default gen one can be boring and make ones that will allie up, I normally have two fanatic purifiers and one of each type of empires in my games your always get some defence pacts but there normally not great at helping each other out
Anyone play this much?
Just got into it after being a CK/EU fan but I must admit I'm struggling with it. The initial build and territory race are fun enough but the I find everyone is just in mass mutual defence treaties and I spend the whole time staring over borders bored out my skull.
An I missing something?
I'm getting into this a bit more, feels a lot easier than other games but maybe I've lucked out on my first real playthrough
I've just got to the stage where I can upgrade, to re-open, wormholes for travel. I've opened one and tried to send a science ship through but it just sits on top of it unmoving indefinitely. Is there some sort of "trick" or something I need to know of for wormhole travel?
The only option I get when clicking on wormhole is "enter orbit" and "travel to XXX" xxx being the system name I cannot remember at the moment, no option to survey it.
