Endless Space 2: Supremacy

Supremacy is the title of the second major extension to Endless Space 2 – a turn-based 4X strategy published in 2017. Behind the development of this expansion are the authors of the original, i.e. the Amplitude Studios team, whose portfolio includes, among others, species-related Endless Legend.

Mechanics

The biggest novelty introduced in Endless Space 2: Supremacy is the next main faction, Hissho; we are talking about the expansion-oriented warriors, whose speciality is offensive action. Hissho use a resource called keii, which feeds their special abilities, which they can only replenish during clashes. Due to the fact that it replaces happiness and is also the basis of obedience in an empire, Hissho can only fail if their level of keii slumps.

The new faction is also a powerful and versatile fleet, as well as four previously unseen heroes who provide high bonus damage and maintenance costs for ships; as a result, heroes perform well as Admirals, but can also be seated in governors' seats to manage systems that specialize in the production of troops and fleets.

In addition, this add-on brings in a minor fraction called Illoanami; these machines are trying to eliminate species incapable of surviving, in order to achieve balance. All parties to the conflict can use the Behemots, or giant spacecraft left over from the Endless era; the Annihilator capable of destroying entire systems, the Warship used to fight the enemy fleet, and the Citadel for defending systems.

Technical aspects

Supremacy is a non-self-reliant add-on, so it requires the basic version of Endless Space 2 to work. Add-on does not change the audio-visual layer.
