The "buyout cost" is the cost to press the coin symbol and rush a production. Subtracting out 1/5th of those large costs can save you money in the long run, especially if you have planets devoted to c …

I tend to go for the fleet size (left tree) and ship tonnage (bottom tree) first, bonus ship tonnage (right tree) third and only upgrade the weapons themselves (top tree) when I feel there's a pressin …

Anecdotally, when I buy AIS before PP, my industry goes up significantly, resulting in at least a thousand industry on reasonably balanced systems, leading me to believe that it doubles the surplus be …

I'm not entirely sure how you ordered your fleets, so I'll throw a bunch of fleet movement facts out and see if any resonate. First, on travel speeds: String Travel (blue arrow number) is usually the …

Here's a relevant situation I often run into, with a similar lack of feedback. Scenario: As you probably know, systems that have been promoted to full Colony have this aura in your faction color call …

It's on every system. Random events by default occur on all systems. They can occur on a select subset of systems, either random or your choice, but it will be explicitly stated in those cases. In ca …

Everything counts as a "planet"; perhaps a better name would have been "outpost" or "colony", except those are already technical terms for systems involving Influence and Approval. Additionally, the …

Not that I know of. You're better off doing research to solve their unhappiness; in the Expansion and Colonization (Down) tree, there are researches to lower Expansion Disapproval and in the Diplomacy …

In Endless Space, Dust can be traded on a per turn and one time basis. It's never explicitly stated which of those resource trading is. On a related note, what is your strategic reserve of a resource …

In general, there is a small note at the bottom of the ability description that quantifies it. You can check abilities and effects in the top-right pane in the Hero Inspection panel. IIRC, Leech is b …

So, in general, 4X Victory conditions can be somewhat arbitrary. There may not be much meaning to winning a massive game by inventing the iPhone or by clobbering the person trying to invent the iPhone …

I find that large fractions of my research times are spent trying to cope with planets striking due to obscene population disapproval, in the vicinity of 80% or more. How does Expansion Disapproval w …

As of the Disharmony expansion, I've noticed a discongruity between the fleets and fleet power I can see from the planet perspective and what appears once I hit the button to engage a fleet. It used …

Yes! There are numerous technologies for ransacking enemy systems as of Disharmony. I believe you're most interested in the special weapons (last) category. Vanilla bombardment: captures system. Not …
