ATM this is the only article that highlights ES2 at this year's Gamescom. The text isn't very interesting (google translate may help you), but actual screenshots are the juicy part :)

Awesome! Based off the faction logo from the ground battles screen shot, I'm pretty sure all of those ships (and ground troops) are from one of the "Coming Soon!" Major Factions on the Wiki


EDIT: Or, if you translate the actual text, it clearly calls out the new faction being the Lumerin :P

Might be easier to use the search function if unticking anything that doesn't have to do with ES2 or the Forums, to narrow down the search.

Unfortunately all of the translations of articles were stored on my "blog". (the best place to store personal content on the old website) I do not know if any of those posts were migrated to this site, and as this site does not have a comparable function as far as I know i am afraid there are lost for good.

There are some inaccuracies in your article. Allow me to correct them:


Explo/colonization:

Colonization now works completely differently in that you need to not only settle a planet, but also invest resources heavily to claim it altogether. Other factions can settle your newly-established system until it becomes a fully-fledged colony. More on it here: https://www.games2gether.com/endless-space-2/forum/65-general/thread/18856-es2-gdd-7-empire-management


Exploration works pretty differently, since basically with new eras you'll unlock new exploration options, and be able to access nodes that were previously invisible to you: https://www.games2gether.com/endless-space-2/forum/65-general/thread/18858-es2-gdd-3-galaxy-exploration


Production: the "overexploitation mechanic" you mention is a Cravers-only mechanic, which existed in Endless Space 1 already, although slightly differently.


Quests are mostly a new thing in ES2 compared to the first. We're expanding on Endless Legend's system, with overarching quest arcs that will help shape end game.


Browsing through your article, these are the points where you made obvious mistakes, there may be more minor ones but nothing jumped out.

Yes, both of those could be the square face (As there's multiple human factions). Could also be someone new, like the terrifying SQUARE-FACED ALIENS.

Of course, the idea about the faces breaks apart with the square symbol on the other unannounced faction. Unless, perhaps, it is the robotic face of a Sower.






Yes I think the probability is very high that this could be the Harmony symbol.



And the next sybmbol of the fourth race looks like the old faction insignia of the United Empire.
