Dust Planets | Endless Space Game Screenshot

Now this is the money making system in ES 1. I was searching for this screenshot for some times. There are 6 arid planets in this system, but they were not all arid at first. After terraforming discovery we are able to change the planet's type. Arid planet bring the most of Dust, and dust is the money equivalent in Endless Space 1. Most of the planets have moons, which bring additional bonuses. It's a lovely view indeed!

Endless Space Game Screenshot

Endless Space is quite exciting turn based space strategy game. There are many varieties of resources that are found on the planets. The planets themselves are exciting to govern. The combats are not directly controlled and can only be watched, but the ship designs give a lot of options. Also, like Master of Orion 2, there are leader that can govern a planet, giving it tremendous bonuses. Another leaders are good ship commanders. ES game is light and playable, which can not be said for its successor ES2.

Let's Begin | Endless Space Game Screenshot

The game begins with one home star system, containing from 2-4 planets. There are 3 leaders available and it is best the first to be a planetary leader. Then all the ships are going for exploration, at first it is quiet and friendly, the colony ships should be safe alone. The first production is a colony ship too, though excessive expansion is tricky, the south part of the research tree holds the knowledge to fix it. Then the adventure begin with full power.

Planetary System | Endless Space Game Screenshot

Here is a nice system with full 6 planets. Well one is asteroid, but they can too be colonized. What is best for me is to research Arid transformation fast, so all planets become arid, except one or two jungles (two if they are huge). Huge jungles will give +2 population, and all the rest +1, compared to arid planets.

Pirates! | Endless Space Game Screenshot

Entry day 97: "Yep, those nasty grey ships moving from star to star. According to my observation pirates start to appear after researching the firs ship hull. They form only on stars with no ship or any vision on them, so keeping a scout over the market for colonisation stars will save me a lot of trouble" Adventure archive December 28 2016.

Research Tree | Endless Space Game Screenshot

The research tree is divided in 4 main categories. North one is the combat fields. I need 2-3 level rocket as soon as possible. To the west is food and happiness. Also the planetary projects, and fleet capacity and leaders capacity. To the south is the colonization planet types and expansion disapproval reduction (to have more systems under control). To the east is research and ship abilities.
