After we're done with Neptune's Folly, what if we got together and played some other 4x game that lets you actually be allies and just clowned the hell out of some AI opponents?
magnet
I'm down. Stellaris? Endless Legend?
moontouched
i'm all in for that
DehydratedWater
Also up for that
Gabiluzbad
Couldn't get into Stellaris
Gabiluzbad
Endless Legend, Endless Space, or Master of Orion would be my choices
Gabiluzbad
But if we're doing Endless Anything I call preemptive dibs on the Vaulters

I feel like NP is close to the limit of how complex of a 4X game my brain can have fun processing
magnet
I never quite figured out Endless Space (for some reason, despite not having many problems with Paradox games) and I haven't tried MoO but I like EL a lot so my vote is Endless Legend
Vehrec
I could maybe be up for something but I don't like Endless Legend or the modern Master of Orion
Quinneapolis
also I don't own any of those games
magnet
I'd be in for going medieval and doing CK3 but I feel like even fewer people will be up for that than Stellaris
DehydratedWater
yeah, I couldn't get into CK3
Quinneapolis
I got 15 minutes into CK2 before uninstalling it out of information overload stress
Gabiluzbad
Maybe not, then
Gabiluzbad
I would definitely not be into Crusader Kings
Love Snake Kaja
I'd be up for anything Endless.
Gabiluzbad
The main problem, beyond agreeing on a game
Gabiluzbad
is that we'd all have to just, like
Gabiluzbad
devote a full day to this
Echo
Is there anything that you can play in browser, or is it all stuff you have to download?
magnet
(I guess I could stand to give Endless Space another shot if that's the majority preference, ftr)
Gabiluzbad
All the games we've suggested here are full downloads
izzy.vrm
i'd be down
izzy.vrm
civ vi has an asymmetrical time mode where you can like
izzy.vrm
check in on your games
izzy.vrm
almost like play-by-post
Gabiluzbad
The main reason I've never really gotten into the civilization games is that I want to be able to have
Gabiluzbad
- Spaceships
Gabiluzbad
- Dragons
Gabiluzbad
At least one
izzy.vrm
fair enough
Echo
Extremely legit.
izzy.vrm
is there a 4x that has both spaceships and dragons?
izzy.vrm
... endless space, probably
Gabiluzbad
Technically Endless Legend has A spaceship
DehydratedWater
Stellaris has Ether Drakes
Gabiluzbad
basically Civilization is at least somewhat grounded in reality and I am not into that
izzy.vrm
whatever you guys do, though, i want in
Gabiluzbad
Well
Gabiluzbad
I am interested in hosting a game of Endless Space/Legend
Gabiluzbad
At some point
Gabiluzbad
Who would be into that?
magnet
me
izzy.vrm
me
moontouched
id have to snag it! but i wanna do it
Gabiluzbad
I currently have free time every week day after 5pm PST
Gabiluzbad
wait no not Thursday that's a stream night
Gabiluzbad
Ruka I think you'll love the aesthetic of these games
Gabiluzbad
There's a race in Endless Legend that's just an entire species of sapient suits of armor
DehydratedWater
I'm in. Have no idea how to play yet but I'm in
magnet
the Broken Lords are dope as hell and also super OP iirc lmao yea
DehydratedWater
Specifically for space 2 since I have that one but I can get the others if needed
Gabiluzbad

izzy.vrm
oh yeah broken lords just let you ignore a resource need
izzy.vrm
they don't need food
magnet
they let you ignore, like, 1.5 resources tbh
magnet
they barely need production either
magnet
just buy everything, including pop
moontouched
are they a DLC race or are they basegame
Love Snake Kaja
Basegame iirc
magnet
yeah they're base
moontouched
OK COOL
Gabiluzbad
I don't like them that much, mechanically
Gabiluzbad
but aesthetically they are VERY cool
Gabiluzbad
And like that's just me
magnet
iirc I enjoy playing them cause they feel like ludicrous hax
magnet
other factions in this game (without dlc) include:
-creepy mannequin people who can only have 1 city
-dragon mans
-berserker bugs that have everyone perma-wardecced
-and like 3 or 4 others, they're all pretty cool
Gabiluzbad
8 base factions
Gabiluzbad
- Creepy mannequin cultists
- Dragon diplomats
- Empty suits of armor/vampires
- Starfaring crash landed vikings
- warmongering horrifying bug corpse eaters
- Industrialist elf architects
- Pain obsessed mages
- Merchants that build mobile cities on giant beetles
Love Snake Kaja
Notably, the warmonger bugs can't ally at all.
Love Snake Kaja
But they're the only faction with that restriction.
Gabiluzbad
my favorites were always the dragons and the starefarers
ArtIsArt
This sounds fun.
magnet
beetle merchants can't wardec (they have to get attacked to get into a war), bugserkers can't peace
magnet
iirc the bugs not only can't ally, they can't even un-wardec anyone unless the dragon mans spend a ton of Influence to briefly force them into peace
ArtIsArt
Endless legend... how much is it?
magnet
Gabiluzbad
$30
magnet
it goes on steam sale pretty regularly iirc
Gabiluzbad
Also notable: All the ENDLESS games are in the same shared universe
Gabiluzbad
Which I think is really cool
ArtIsArt
I'll wishlist it!
BattroidBattery
if you spawn in a desert with the empty armor guys you just laugh your way to the bank
BattroidBattery
anyway I like strategy games
BattroidBattery
I'd be willing to pick up endless space if people were going to play too
BattroidBattery
I also have Age of Wonders, both Planetfall and the older classical fantasy ones.
Gabiluzbad
Sounds like Endless Legend is currently the most popular choice
BattroidBattery
so the thing with endless legend is
BattroidBattery
it has extreeeeemely slow tactical combat
Gabiluzbad
it...yeah it does
Gabiluzbad
I think you can turn off tactical combat, though?
Gabiluzbad
Just have it simulate the battles automatically and guess the outcome
Gabiluzbad
which might be the thing to do in this case
Rama
My games don't really overlap with Your games but I'm always down for learning a new one
Gabiluzbad
The Endlessverse is very cool
