Endless Space 2 - The Vodyani - Prologue

These are the main principles ruling the Vodyani society: Dominate all other races to extract their Essence; worship the holy and pure Endless according to the practices of the Church of the Virtual Saints, and exterminate the Heretic and his blasphemous followers.

Let's meet each other!

So thats what it looks like to become a gaming laptop

[QuestionableObject]

It's such a shame that the Vodyani don't have unique interactions with the Academy as mechanical adversaries.
It'd be great to basically have a secondary objective of destroying the Academy and bringing Isyander to Vodyani justice.

"Ma'am why are we moving slower than the rest of the fleet?"
"It's so the others can overtake us, it makes for a cooler shot"
"What?"
"What?"

[sarin]

Kill the heretic! Purge the unclean! In the name of the Empe- Endless!

Made an alliance between the Unfallen, Hissho, and Vodyani, named "fuck the Cravers"
the cockroaches tried to surrender immediately after it formed.

It's kinda interesting that the only religious faction upon launch is the one that will not choose the option marked as religious in the academy quest since that means accepting that the Endless carried out a genocide. Also interesting how their main mechanic of harvesting dust resembles the way in which the Endless carried out that genocide, and they also destroyed their home world just like the Endless, they really are just replaying Endless history.

[FREECIVVIE]

Speaking from a lore standpoint, a race seeking to wear the endless mantle, at any and all costs, might very well be the more dangerous faction in the galaxy

[lostfan]

Did I hear someone say "joining chaos?" Uh oh... SMASH IT!
*Slams exterminatus button*

[saiphkeencrest]

The match between the cinematics and music is absolutely top-notch for this one. Love it and based on lore, going to be the first faction I play. Was going to play Cravers at first, too

[ptibaf]

Okay they look damn cool

Amplitude you do awesome design race bravo!

[joshuaduxfield]

Oh man got to love what this design team does for the 4X genre. They say history repeats itself so are we going to see conflict between virtuals and the concrete once more. Favourite faction so far.

[doms]

i'm not saying deus vult...
but deus vult

[darius_grey]

Vodyani.
It is like creature from Slav mithology. :D

[CirosKhan]

Wow! I really like the colour of this faction, that kinda carbon black with molten metal orange/yellow/amber...just amazing..my favourite colour combo

[RazulLD]

I love how every race is soo unique not only as gameplay but as story background. I just love how much thought the developers put in them, and above all my most favorite are the Vodyani... :)

[BurningSpear]

A combination of the Broken Lords and Cultists from Endless Legend plus Syd Mead-esque visuals and an inherent ideological conflict? YES YES YES YES YES YES. TAKE ALL OF MY MONEY.

[numma]

I wonder if the "ancient demon" is the concrete endless

[ForeverNames]

As you may know this bg music is from “To Rise, Virtual” Vodyani’s prologue ost. Check it and also don’t thank me.

[resonantevol]

I love her voice, and whatever accent that is or is supposed to be. Pure love.

[eisvisage]

This has given me more chills than the Sophon prologue, and that means something!
