Since the galaxies are some of the smallest you'll find in any recent 4X game, the main focus of the game is rushing units out, instead of eXploring, eXpanding or even eXploiting. Several of the features (diplomacy for instance) are broken, and there's many "bugs" that allow the AI to cheat in various ways throughout the entire campaign. The difficulty is only being talked about because of poor game design, not because the game requires skill.
StarDrive 2 has the potential to be a decent turn-based, light-strategy 4X game, but it's not there yet. If you want a real, deep grand-strategy space-based 4X game in the vein of Paradox grand-strategies, Distant Worlds: Universe is the best of the best. There's hardly any strategy to StarDrive 2, let alone grand-strategy. Originally posted by Aranador:It is at the moment, one of the best grand strategy space 4X titles out there. if you have 9 command points maximum, you can have 9 corvette class ships before the any use command points)Īlso once you have all of these ships garrisoned, other civilizations will notice that you have some military might and it will factor into your diplomacy.
STARDRIVE 2 ZERG FREE
The cost for exceeding your command points is not high.Ĭorvette class ships are command point free until you exceed your maximum command points (i.e.
STARDRIVE 2 ZERG FULL
Now as soon as you move them out from the planet, they cost full command points, but even that is not a huge deal. 4 garrisoned freighter class ships is only 2 command points (the amount you get from a starbase, wink wink). Garrisoned ships do not use full command points! make 2-4 frieghter class ships and just garrison them. (unless of course you turn off all the fun random stuff.booooring) This game will knock you out of your 4x comfort zone and its a good time! You will not have as much time as you want, so you have to be scrappy. Ask yourself every turn, can I fend off a large fleet of ships? If not build something to help defend.
You have to play this game as if you will get attacked by a fleet of ships every turn right from the start. If your used to being able to take the first 50-100 turns and peacefully build your infastructure, yeah you will find this game very hard if not impossible. The game still gives me a feeling of adventure and discovery every time I play, I've put in over 200 hours and I'm still finding new stuff, still experimenting with new race builds, Hard lvl still gives me a challenge and Brutal still kicks my ass.Īdmittedly I am the target audience for this game, I enjoy 4X and RTS but I think people from either genre will enjoy it too. All of these areas have seen considerable improvement and modernization. This game has a lot in common with MoOII, extensive race customization, diplomacy, espionage ground combat ship customization, ship battles and even the main quest has some similarities. So to win you will have to fight, but if you don't do the research,and you don't take care of your empire and economy then you won't stand a chance.Īgain the dev has listened been listening to peoples responses here, so we may get new victory modes sometime in the future. Some others feel the complaint is warranted because the battles are RTS in nature (with an emphasis on the S for Strategy). The complaints have come because currently there are no diplomatic or research victory conditions. However the dev has put in some patches already to reduces the difficulty of the easy lvl and the number of aggressive early game events you might find. There have been many responses to this, some people are fine with it other are having a had time, basically a lot of effort was put into the AI but no one thought to make easy the lvl easy enough. Just so you know, I was one of the Beta testers for the game
