to get the luxury ressource, do i need to colonihze the specific planet or just any plaent in the system ? thanks
Sad how out of date these have become
so relaxing, watching and learning. i just bought the game and wanted to get some ideas.
thx 4 that. good video.
Great tips and content would like to see an update. Also what do you do if you near systems are not that great or have many planets?
What module gives manpower on ships please

Can you do an update, or a new guide to the Empire. I was watching this, and I noticed that many, many of the tips you gave in this video are outdated, such as the probe trick, the upkeep for the law you passed, ship upgrade costs, the 10% industry bonus on Lenko etc.

Maybe here I can get help.. I was playing Sophons, few times, always defeated by bankruptcy, details:
At some stage I have like 14 out of 10 systems, 85%approval across them, surplus 3-4k dust, played on easy and only 1 AI opponent (because of what follows), everytime same scheme: last time my +4k dust changed to -8k in just one turn (nothing happened like war or blockade or anything) and I couldn't fix it even by setting all systems for dust profiles and destroying expensive buildings here and there. Im lost.
I right clicked on the video to get out of menu 😀
I just got this game!
Pronounced 'Atoll'. Not 'aToll'. Rhymes with 'asshole'… (sorry. Not an insult. Just an easy mnemonic)
I've started three consecutive games and I always only have exactly one colonizable planet in in the system around my starting locaton, and that's my home planet. What a shitty game balance.
Probes will not be replenished instantaneously anymore and Lenko does not give the start bonus
Should've watched you first before starting and struggling on 2 games. Very cool.
Great vid, but plz stop putting an upward inflection at the end of each sentence? Like you're asking a question? All the time? It's annoying asf.
Very helpful regarding the 'thinking' of this. I'm new player and wondering how to do anything regarding even moving an exploration ship. Yeah, that early in this game.
Can I ask you where did you learn complete Tech tree? Just from sheer number of hours you play or something else?
AFter watching this to the end, it appears the space combat system utterly sux. Nothing compared to Master of Orion 🙁
The double probe component and turn 1 upgrade is something I figured out myself and I'm glad to find that it's a smart move lol. It seems like you guys dont get a second scout ship out quickly, are you really too busy to do that?
You guys should check out the Eclipse and Twilight Imperium board games.
This game is like crack to me.
Does 4X mean: "four times the size of fallout four"? (and sixteen times the details)
Even though you are lucky with a good start… Still this guide is still good on 2020… There are no more probe exploits
I dont know why, but this is the most boring playthrough I have ever watched. Nothing against you, and I have never played the game, but I cant even pay attention.
Can anyone deny/confirm if hero exp still works this way? 26:20 IE they only get exp when a build completes, and you can jump a hero into a system right before the last tick to get full exp?
man im watching these vids in 2020, thanks so much
What a great tutorial! Everything is well explained and he also says why he makes the choices he make. This is a thorough tutorial and a joy to watch. I learnt a lot of new stuff. Liked and subscribed.
Thanks for video guide here in 2020. I also didn't know that Topher Grace did gaming on youtube. Hell yea
You guys should make an updated version. Not sure if recent patches may have changed things. But I just recently picked up this game due to it being on game pass for PC. Loving these vids tho.
I learned a lot. And I laughed pretty hard at the second craver reveal
Hey hey people
And the award for the worst mic quality of a youtuber goes too…. heard more smacking lips and spit than I did advice
so Petra is waifu of ES2?
The probe trick you used at the beginning works half the times, and the other half it doesn't replenish them for whatever reason, 0/4. Any idea why?
Good lord the whole thing you do with the shipe on 1:20:00 is confusing as hell
4:59 "In exchange for a bit of happiness that we don't particularly need."
This has got to be the most realistic game I've ever seen.
I can just tell that he savescammed it by using particular seed of galaxy before record (yes, you can do that). The best way to describe this tutorial would be – prey for luck. Just the fact that on first launch he got an industrial power house in his home system (lava planet) and second system 1 jump away with a fucking 5 planets in it, of which 2 of them he can even colonize few turns later, then he also got even more of 4 planet systems. But wait! there is more.. how about a minor faction nearby your main system.. like 1 jump away NEAR. What a coincidence. Vodyani would like to know your location.. You know, they would give anything for this kind of a lucky start. Anything.
Well.. There are some helpfull advices, but to call it a fair tutorial would be a crime.
31:46 Since the whole theme behind Industrialists in this game is kinda space USSR and the first industrialist hero is Dmitry… to make the name Lena more comrade "feeling" it can be pronounced with E like in a word "Lemon", source Russian name Elena/Lena/Alena 🙂
and some fun facts:
Petra is Greek name but it's very popular in Germany and Slavic countries.
Hadri seams to be Arabic name
Interesting fact about surnames:
Hadri Lenko – Lenko is popular Ukrainian surname
Lena Zelevas – Zelevas is a surname of Emperor of the United Empire in the game 🙂 According to wiki Lena is a Sister of Emperor. Most likely surname is Lithuanian, but seems to be completely fictional
Petra Mandžukić – Mandžukić is a Croatian surname
P.S. Great guide!
It seems the upgrade and get your probes back thing was patched out.
Your explanations are great and really understandable, thanks for the great vid 🙂
His couch in the back is cool, not gonna lie
Im watching ur video in 2021 , really helpful .
Thanks man, very informative guide. You're awesome.
always seems like your start is always a great…. and saying stuff like " just like we wrote it up" does not help. good info on the game, but could be 5 min video instead of you not being surprised by anything ever.
This start location is like 1 in 20. Very lucky.
Too bad he doesn't do many videos anymore
