Especially because building colonizing ships doesn't require population unit (unlike in the previous Endless Space game)! The colonization has two steps.įirst, you must find an empty system (one that is not under influence of other player) with planets that can be colonized. In the beginning of the game you start with one ship of that type but there is nothing stopping you from building more. If they are in power you can colonize almost all planets although with a penalty to FIDSI productions.

You can also help Ecologists in your empire. With the development of technologies you get opportunities to inhabit more planets and even reshape them into something more favorable. They also give Approval bonuses which is also useful. Oceanic planets or with a lot of flora are wanted by all races so it doesn't matter which faction you play as because you must choose those planets as your priority targets during the expansion. Remember to select systems with very good planets or a lot of average ones.

To obtain this goal you must use colonizing ships.

Thanks to expanding your living space and territory you can increase your population and inflow of resources which in turn can increase your realm and chance to win. White circles under system names can suggest you which planets can be inhabited.Ĭolonizing new systems and planets is one of the most important goals in the game. The best way to do that is to choose friendly planets as your targets. A colonizing ship can be the first step to take over a system.
