In addition, the bonus may be up to doubled depending on the exploitation, its level, and the planet type it is on for example, Terran planets get double bonuses from exploitations. 5 Exploitations by resource (Disharmony)Д®ach exploitation gives +1 to +3 of its resource per, depending on level.4 Exploitations by planet type (Disharmony).That is, you have choices, but 75% are non-starters. It's just too easy to break and some stats outclass others to the detriment of equipment choice. You really want to decide what sort of city focus you want and plan accordingly. One of those benefits is that a distrcit with 3 other bordering districts is upgraded. There are benefits to building a snaking sprawl of districts and benefits to building in a more traditional centralized format. To someone's question above, it all really depends. There needs to be more actual interaction with winter not just 'less of everything'. The 'winter' mechanic doesn't really add anything, just slows things down. I thought the racial quests were really cool. It is trivial to create a stack of doom and steamroll everything thrown at you. The combat AI is far, far worse than Civ V and easily exploitable. You will largely follow the exact same general path regardless. The thematic differences are fantastic but the actual gameplay impact is negligible. The game has a lot of interesting ideas and is quite pretty, but, much the same as Endless Space, it fails to really grab me.Дespite any differences in racial types the path to victory never truely varies. I feel like it's a nice mix between Civ and EU simple like the former, transparent like the latter. It's far more snowbally than Civ (though not quite as bad as Warlock), and that's not a good thing in a 4X. In particular, the way that unit upgrades and the combat mechanics interact mean that the more powerful army doesn't just win it absolutely crushes. Game mechanics should never be frustrating.

In particular, it gets frustrating if your orders are invalidated and the default behaviour takes over. I still really like the way that armies move together and split apart for the tactical battles, but the way battles are controlled gets a bit annoying.

After my initial raving about the combat system.

It's a solid game, perhaps even excellent, but I must admit that I don't think it's going to capture my attention in the long-term the way that Civ IV or V did. I bought on release day (on the back of my admiration for Endless Space), and have now put in about 40 hours with three completed games. If you like fantasy settings I'd say it's worth a buy now - but otherwise, I'd way for Beyond Earth and pick Endless Legend up during the inevitable Steam XMas Sale.

The world is pretty and the minor factions can offer quests, but if you are focusing on dust you'll end up just bribing them anyway. Combat and troop design is interesting, but does not have the same depth as the ship design did in Endless Space. There are also serious balancing issues in the tech tree and resource balance in general (dust seems overpowered as it can be used for crafting armor/weapons as well as just about everything else, so it's almost always ideal to rush dust production rather than focus on strategic resources which is counter intuitive and just silly). Diplomacy is kinda weak in that it's possible to bribe any faction into an alliance. The AI on harder difficulties almost certainly cheats. I feel that this game is going to be 'completed' by a DLC just like Endless Space was by Disharmony. I own the game and have sunk 20h into it - and I'd say it's certainly worth playing now - but it's not 100% finished in my opinion. Having a hard time deciding to buy this, beyond earth or Galactic Civ III (early access) next. There were somethings I liked about Endless space somethings I didn't, but over all I was pretty impressed with it and still play it from time to time. I've been on the fence on this game myself.
