How is the game / multiplayer?

Hello,

I'm interested by this game but , thing is, I own Endless legend and even if i tried few times, I really didn't get to get grips on it, was doing turns with no real clue of what i was doing, and eventually It ended with not much game time in my library.

I'm interested of how multiplayer goes, as from being turn based I imagine it must take a loooong while for a match :-?

What's the scenario in matches? and how is combat ? :)

Downloading the free weekend atm

I think it could be great if you can find any players. I try to play multiplayer right now but the lobby is totally empty.

I believe this game is peer to peer multiplaer, and i suspect that it is like Stellaris which means the steam "Download Region" is where it is going to look for games, so it will not search for games globaly. That is just a guess though, but it was like that for Mortal Kombat and Stellaris. So you can change to a download region like lets say Germany or England or USA and probably find games.

Like any other 4x game multiplayer, it takes a long time for a match.
Stellaris is an RTS and it takes a long time, this game has all players move at once and still takes a long time.
You can always create smaller galaxies and play with a smaller amount of player.

You have modules that you install on ships, and different ships hulls, rock paper scissors style.
When you encounter an enemy fleet you have "cards" that you choose the tradjectory of your approach and get all kinds of buffs\debuffs. The combat itself is auto resolve with an option to watch the animation play out like Stellaris did only here it's in 3D.

Yeah, never mind, I played a bit and deleted :). The game is nice, ambient music is beautiful and generally the presentation is great, good job on that devs; but this kind of games isn't for me though. For me it feels like slow progression and I don't really see a purpose. I guess it would be nice with a persistent multiplayer where people form alliances and fight to control systems but I fail to see that aproach working as a turn based.

Thanks for the free weekend :)
