The game needs to be fixed in multiple sections in order to be good.

Desyncs all the time, every some turns need to reload the autosave because it desyncs for some reason. Did the developers tested it before releasing it? Probably yes, but only single player lol.

Graphics, animations, music are all aesthetic and well done.

Diplomacy is pretty straightforward. It has a lot of choices but eventually you will end up doing the same choices over and over.

Combat stats are absolutely comical. Units have only health, movement and an ability. No health, armor etc. That means if you want to predict how good your units are against others, i guess you have to playtest!

Religion is left to the religious people i guess, because you have no control over its expansion, you only choose bonuses. You can play it peaceful and all but guess what... your religion will spread to the other player so that he has justification to attack you, while you cant :p

Remember that tech tree from endless space? It needed some time to get used to. On the contrary, this game pretty much goes through the other approach, meaning you only need 70 IQ to understand it.

I also have a hint that if you do well in the start, you certainly will win the rat race that this game is all about (but im not sure about it)

So i guess if you are interested to play it single-player and just building and keeping peace, it could be alright.

Very good strategy game. Turn based. Micromanaging systems and fleets.

The ONLY bad thing about it is that if you fall behind in score during the first 1/2 game, its very hard to be competitive again unless you do something unexpected like surprise attacks to bring the other player down.

AI is sufficiently good but after you devote many hours you will be able to beat it in the highest difficulty. That's because not all AI factions can become brutal warmongers.

Each faction not only has strengths and weaknesses, but also plays drastically different, so the management part will have different requirements based on what race you choose. So if you are starting with this game, check some youtube for your favorite race, and learn this race very good. After that you can try another race. That is because the races are balanced in my opinion, so play a race because you like it and not because its hard. (of course dont start with the hard races until you know the basics that apply to all races).

This game requires a lot of time to learn and has many options that you will only be able to manage after you have learned the game good enough.

Multiplayer: Is very good but not many players to play if you dont have friends that play this game. That is because the smallest map in the highest speed will take upwards of 5 hours to complete, and that is if you rush it and know how to manage everything fast.

plz make ES3 sometime in the future thanxxx
