This forces you to constantly expand and plan things in a different manner when playing the Cravers due to the lack of a stable long-term home system. On top of that, Craver population members actively consume the planet. In Endless Space they were always on the warpath.
They are unable to make peace with other factions only while the militarist party leads the empire. The Cravers return with a bunch of tweaks. They do not require colonizer ships, instead being able to purchase outposts on planets they can colonize right away. The Lumeris revolve around trading and Dust. I enjoyed the option of mobility however, you can’t always be on the move if you want improvements to come by. This basically gives you an early military advantage, as Arks are strong offensive spacecraft, and the potential to relocate your bases. Their other ships can also harvest essence from foreign populations, which can then be used to purchase population units on your Arks or recruit other Arks. The Vodyani, which quickly grew to be my favorites, live on Arks, giant spaceships that need to orbit a planet in order to be able to access improvements. Each of these factions looks and plays differently. The Sophons and the Cravers are familiar faces to those who’ve played the previous title while the Vodyani and the Lumeris are newcomers to the series. The (early) Early Access version comes with four of the eight of the factions that will be available at release.
As they’re still pumping out expansions for the stellar Endless Legend, it just so happens that Endless Space 2 also became available on Early Access. Their penchant for great storylines and unique factions is clearly reflected in Endless Space and Endless Legend while the detour into roguelike territory that was Dungeon of the Endless shows that they’re comfortable moving out of the 4X Strategy sphere. With just three games under their belt, Amplitude Studios have quickly made the list of developers whose progress is worth following.
