Your Faction Should Decide Your Victory Condition. Given that Endless Space 2 is a more traditional 4X/Grand Strategy game with set victory conditions, it's easy to try to do too many things. I've played two Unfallen games so far. In the first, I restarted by turn 70 because I underestimated the effect of pirates limiting my expansion and let them snowball out of control. In the second playthrough it feels like I did everything right, I had a military strategy planned out, including all my early techs.
Amplitude Studios announced today that the 8th major faction for their sci-fi grand strategy game, Endless Space 2, will be available via Steam on May 19. The Unfallen civilization, completely designed by the community, utilizes gameplay modeled around a tree metaphor, with the Unfallen's homeworld being the trunk, as they slowly expand via their tendrils – colonizing systems that are nearest their homeworld. To lose their homeworld is to lose their entire empire, as the Unfallen must maintain contact with their homeworld to survive.
Players of the Unfallen will favor the 'slow and steady' pacifist style of play, rather than rushing out to conquer as quickly as possible – expanding their 'branches' as they go, while seeking symbiosis with the other factions and providing bonuses to their allies. The Unfallen are also in synch with nature and have the unique ability to awaken the Guardians, beings that normally lie dormant on planets, which when awoken, provide benefits to their owner and friends, and penalties to their foes. Created in cooperation with the Endless Space 2 community, the Unfallen were designed in several phases by fans via Games2Gether – each phase reflecting an aspect of the new faction; the gameplay, the visuals, and the narrative.
Endless Space 2 is currently available on Early Access on Steam. Known for its deep, engaging, and gorgeous grand strategy games including 2014's celebrated Endless Legend™ and Dungeon of the Endless™, Amplitude Studios won the venerable 2013 Golden Cube and Community Choice Unity Awards for Endless Space and the 2015 Best 3D Visual Experience for Endless Legend.
Amplitude Studios revealed the eighth and final faction for sci-fi strategy sequel Endless Space 2. The Unfallen are a race of peaceful tree-folk who prefer a slow and steady expansion as they spread peace to the galaxy.
The Unfallen were created by Amplitude's Games2Gether community. Fans could vote and help design the race's aesthetics, background lore, and game mechanics and features. More than 100 proposals were given on Amplitude's forums before they were narrowed down to the hippie space trees. You can watch the interesting process of a community-created faction in the video below.
Amplitude Studios have been using their Games2Gether philosophy since their first game, Endless Space, launched in 2012. They've cultivated a strong relationship with fans of their strategy games, including Endless Legend and Dungeon of the Endless, both released in 2014.
To promote Endless Space 2's upcoming final release, Amplitude has begun releasing videos based on each of the four X's. So far you can watch Explore and Expand that help explain different aspects of the strategy game.
