It’s here in Tercana that the Amoeba and Horatio empires meet for the very first time. The scout continues to the Tercana system. It’s not a great system, but it’ll be worth having. The scout flies through the Yisel system with no problems. In the meantime, I send a scout vessel out to the prospective colonies to get a feel for them. This means I only have two systems to colonize for now, Yisel and Tercana, and Horatio is going to want them too. There’s another wormhole coming out of Vega. The two squiggly line things coming out of my capital of Nusakan are wormholes that I don’t have the technology to enter yet. I immediately snag the nearby Vega system. My only routes to expansion are through wormhole gates to the east and the Horacio Empire to the north. I have an interesting starting location, perhaps even unfortunate. They allow access to more travel locations, but you can’t use them without first completing certain research requirements. In Endless Space, your ships can only move along preset lines. Famine issues from my first game taught me that focusing on food to build up a big workforce and then moving to other things might be the way to go. I immediately start on food production in the capital. Here’s the galaxy I got with everyone’s starting locations (weirdly, there isn’t any fog of war with planets, though you can’t see other ships unless you’re in the same system). I chose a spiral out of respect for the Milky Way. Let’s try to do that.Įndless Space lets you choose what kind of galaxy you play in. We’re listed with a good alignment, and our goal is to unite all living things, even if it means breaking some skulls along the way. Needless to say, they’re evil.Īmoeba: That’s me. They’re neutral.Ĭravers: If the United Empire wasn’t bad enough, the Cravers are the classic alien bugs that fly around eating everyone in their path. Some idiot named Horatio cloned himself so many times he made a star traveling civilization out of it. Horatio: Endless Space takes itself pretty seriously, so this ones an oddball. That’s the Pilgrims, who fled the United Empire long ago but will soon meet them again. Pilgrims: When there’s an evil human empire, there must be a good human rebellion. In the first game I got completely massacred, and I’m hoping things go better this time. This is only my second game ever of Endless Space. We met another alien race called Cravers. Negotiations with them have quickly broken down. We met an alien race called the Horatio Empire. I’m the emperor of a civilization of large amoebas that stretches across the galaxy.

Endless Space is an indie 4x game that came out on July 4 of this year. Last week we finished up a journal on Empires of the Smoky Skies, so today we start something new. Welcome to Campfire Gaming, the weekly segment where I play a game and write about my wacky adventures.
