All the Alien Crossfire factions were broken. they were also uninteresting and most of them were just blend copies/little variants of the original factions and lol yeah whoever thought the free drones bonus of -20% cost to everything from the outset was a good idea

Domai is basically Yang except he actually gets money, which is even more busted than the extra -10% build cost he already has over Yang. Nothing beats the pure and undiluted bullshit that is the Consciousness, tho.

alpha centauri in general suffers from the Civ 2 model of infinity city sprawl being optimal strategy, or more expansion is pretty much always good Civ 5 at least had the option of going tall idk about Civ 6 but upon release it was back to ICS strategy

Let the fuckers get to where they can run Democratic/Free Market/Knowledge and there's literally no stopping it.

Endles Legend is absolute garbage, and the civ 5 + civ 6 counter measures to ics are the most frustrating and boring parts of it. You can basically live off 4 cities in civ 5, and suffer nothing for it, meaning the fight over conflict and territory that is supposed to characterize 4xs is replaced with boring wonder spam

Pener Kropoopkin posted:Infinite Legend had a decent counterbalance to overexpansion. it was decent but endless space 2 really nailed it imo. the initial expansion limit is generous enough that you don't feel it unless you're deliberately sprawling or conquering, and there are late-game ways to eliminate expansion disapproval so you can eventually grow infinitely

Civ struggles so much trying to create a gameplay-based, "organic" solution to ICS, when they should instead directly forbid building cities less than 2 (or even 3) spaces apart. It's like the Americans trying to build a space pen with Soviet Russia just used a pencil yes I know it's not true

The solution is has always been to remove inherent resource bonus of cities (so that a tile the city is on gives nothing), that way you can remove the city location restrictions stuff entirely

The only bad thing about Endless Legend are the elves, who they didn't even bother to make sense within the logic of the setting. Are they native fauna, experimentations of the endless, shipwrecked aliens? Who gives a poo poo, their faction is lame.

Dreddout posted:I can't even remember their gimmick They get production bonuses. As a race they're supposed to have some kind of nature bond, and can transform into wild animals when overcome with a primal lust - but that doesn't factor into how they play as a faction at all except to justify why they have the big tanky Ent units. They're pretty much just a faction for new players, with production bonuses, one of the best ranged units, and a balanced unit roster that's all together very forgiving of new player mistakes.

Also industry is literally the strongest bonus. Free Drones running Democratic/Planned/Wealth get 40% lower mineral costs as well as actual money. It's broken af.
