Endless Space 2 New Player's Guide - Part 1

Part 1 of a new players guide intended to teach the basic game mechanics in a fun and enjoyable way. Note: Some technical issues result in the last 1 minute of the video to be cut off. More episodes to follow after this!

At first I was like "do I really want to watch a 3 hour guide?", but since starting the video, I can't help but listen to everything you say. Super awesome video

[mercnine]

Its amazing how confusing this game seems at first, while actually being incredibly intuitive. You can almost always, at least with the systems, just use logic to to understand it at a basic level.

Im going to have to start limiting the days I play this game to weekends only because at midnight when Im supposed to stop, I play for another 30 minites and then its 4 am. Work has been rough lately.

I love how Seth managed to dumb this all down to 30 minutes

I've never seen someone so excited abouta right click menu exit. Now that I've seen it, I know im in the right place

[mercnine]

The UI design in this game is out of this world. In 10 games, I have never touched the keyboard

Rule of Acquisition 76: every once in a while, declare peace. It confuses the hell out of your enemies

Played Stellaris alot, now i wanted a different space game. This is perfect.

Just picked up the game and I must say your video was quite helpful. Thanks!

I just did a dry run of this game for 10 hours and now I'm finally watching a tutorial and understand so much more now

[bakdorholdren]

I have played a couple of play-throughs of this game and your Guide is still very helpful. I learned tons of stuff that I hadn't noticed before. Your explanations were clear and pointed out some features that I just skimmed over while I was playing. Thanks for enhancing this game for me.

[DeanPackwood]

Just want to say this is one of the best and thorough training videos I've seen for any game. Thanks.

[metatronyt]

Amazing work! Very very well done. You are Amazing at explaining, and this Is coming from a teacher (and youtuber like you :D ). I love this game now thanks to you

[ThibChill]

I've got more that 1 000 hours sunk into ES 2 for now and you've been a big trigger of understanding for me regarding the game.
I'm also very happy to see yous till answer comments all those years later :D
You must be happy Endless Legend 2 has been annouced I suppose ;)
Cheers man, you rock(y planet xD) !!

I started playing a few days ago and this tutorial still holds up. Unlike an unnamed game that changed it's functions from year to year.

Thank you for doing this video. None of my normal streamers have any content on Endless Space 2 -- a game which I am interested in learning about before deciding whether or not to purchase. Thanks again. 🙂

I work overnights and usually attend school full time, so my time is extremely limited. This makes experimenting with a new game prohibitively time expensive. However, I have always loved 4X games and really liked the look of Endless Space 2 (I missed the first one, probably because I'm always just too busy until I finish school at least!).

Given the nature of a slow moving night job, when I'm not studying, I'm able to watch videos like this to cut down on the learning curve. And this video is one of the best. Thanks for posting

They got their planet attributes backwards, when it comes to production. The colder a place is, the more efficient production is. In our solar system, Titan for example would be a perfect place to build a monstrous production planet, because due to low temperatures, we can extract more work from our engines and generators. A hot place like Venus would have very low efficiency, because the difference in temperature for thermodynamic cycle is much, much smaller.


First law of thermodynamics clearly explains this: Q is the sum of all heat transfer in a system. If ambient temperature is lower, like on Titan is -170 Celsius or something like that - rivers of methane on surface - Q is increased greatly, which means the amount of useful work we can extract, is much greater.

Dude, just picked up the game. Thanks for this. I am a very experienced Civ player but, I haven't played an endless game. I was overwhelmed at first but your narration has been very helpful.

[madthorn]

no way in Hades would I ever have been able to play this game without seeing your video first. Thank you :)
