Please use this thread to ask your questions regarding Endless Space. From newbies to pros, vs AI or multiplayer, this is the place to ask!

First please check out the wiki first to see existing resources.

Make sure you provide as much information as possible regarding your game if you need help - your faction, level and game settings, number of opponents, expansions enabled, etc. Screenshots are most helpful!

Hey everyone! I apologize for being a bit late posting this, but the patch u/Ninak0ru and I have been working on is out in full, translated and everything! Just as a reminder, my contract working with Amplitude has ended so I don't currently have any sway over the game. If you find any issues, please make sure to post them on Amplifiers!

As always, I am happy to answer questions in the comments. Anyways, here are the full patch notes-- hope you all enjoy, happy holidays!
