Populations can even give you quests to make them happier.ĭiplomacy was also demonstrated in the demo, more specifically the different types of governments and how you can use them to create new laws. What's more, minor factions were also introduced, being smaller factions with limited interaction options, and both these and other major factions can be integrated into populations too, leading to situations where reactions and rebellions may occur if you're not too careful.

The demo showed the senate and a breakdown of the population of the empire and all the beliefs they hold and Amplitude explained that these can either help or hinder your empire depending on your own beliefs. The faction being played was the Lumeris, announced at Gamescom, and within the short period of time that it was played there were many things to pique the interest.įirstly, population was shown to be far more important in this game.

In the demo that was shown to us we got to see the game being played with a variety of the new features on display.

We got the chance to visit their studios in Paris for a studio tour, a demo of the game as well as that all-important hands-on time. Endless Space, Amplitude Studios' galactic 4X game, received a lot of praise when it was released it back in 2012, and Endless Space 2 is the upcoming sequel that the studio is now working on.
