Endless Space 2: Awakening introduces the Nakalim playable Major faction as well as the Academy Empire. You will now be able to interact and negotiate directly with Isyander. As his grand plan begins to unfold and rumors of the Lost begin to circulate, the Academy is set to take a more active role in the future of the galaxy.
So, Nakalim and Vodyani walk into a bar...
That was a nice bar.
Emphasis on "was" i see. Well played sir :D
Was a nice town too.
was a nice planet too
was a nice system too
Was a nice galaxy too
Me waiting for the new song to drop so I can listen to it on repeat for weeks.
"Our military mantains the peace", sure, can see where this is going
dont forget that they patched out offensive military gameplay last patch there wont be any other way instead of defending!
WE WILL SHOW THEM OUR PEACEFUL WAYS BY FORCE
@@XxDark2CloudxX But they didn't, though.
Go to pacify them with some laser
@@luana.4296 The Unfallen are a fuckin cancer and I hate them. "Yo, that's a nice system you got there. It'd be a shame if it didn't want to be yours anymore."
I love how they used the characters from the Pathfinder trailer
@ScarPoL and yet they made a brand new isyander model.
We got Space Mafia, Space Trees, Space Ghosts, Space Crusaders, Space Samurais, Space Vikings, And now we got space Egyptians.
Since when were egyptians black?
@@yang8244 Well, Egypt's black and Arab put together. Nubia was absolutely black though, and had similar aesthetics.
The Hissho are also Space Aztecs.
Nubia had similar aesthetics because of Egytian influance, not the other way around.
I always thought they were meant to be space Romans.
Alert! Alert! We have a new Faction people! This is not a drill!
*J U S T L I K E T H E S I M U L A T I O N S*
correct, it's not a drill. It's a new faction. :P
I’ll get the Welcome Basket of torpedos and warmongering.
"You will now be able to interact and negotiate directly with Isyander."
thank the gods.
Any idea if there also adding some kind of insult diplomacy option. Planning a vodyani game and it sounds like a good thing to have now.
@@codyarcher3263 will probably be a good hacking/ espionage option too.
@@codyarcher3263 "Hello, this is Isyander spea-"
"FUCKING HERETIC!"
"And I'm hanging up now."
@@gabrielclark1425 That needs to be animated.
It turned out even worst than before
*** SPOILERS ***

If you guys know enough of the lore of this game, you'd know that the Vodyani guy (Isyander) with the spear in black is still a Vodyani. This is probably before or during his rebellion against the Vodyani federation led by his own sister Isyara. In almost all cases in the game, Isyander's Cloth (the suit filled with essence/dust) is in white, a symbol of his opposition to the Vodyani veneration of the Virtual Endless who murdered and harvested the Lost (original gods) to ascend into godhood. The new faction here, from what I read, was nurtured by one of the Lost into its Golden Age before being put into stasis because this Lost was murdered and harvested by the either the Virtual or the Concrete Endless.
After. Isyanders Rebellion is the reason hes the Heretic for the Vodanyi. And also the Leader of the academy.
@@HandsomeGamerGuy his suit is black here though. Doesn't make sense as he wore white to honour the Lost and their altars were in white. It's possible that he hasn't changed his suit yet and his rebellion is well underway already.
As I understand it Dust was a product of the Endless harvesting the Lost, so the "war" with the Lost would have predated the Endless Civil War.
@@QuestionableObject The original comment is talking about the Vodyani Civil War, not the Endless one
iirc, the Unfallen "Heart" is one of the Lost as well.
My friends just introduced me to Endless Space 2 yesterday, and I'm already enthralled in its design, its factions, its art, and etc, not to mention the game is addicting once you learn how it works. And then bam new faction. It's an interesting feeling. You may have hooked me here.
It's almost as if that was the point of the free weekend.
@@HarryBuddhaPalm damn you right
I'm getting Congo,Ghana,Ethiopian, Egyption, Mali and Necron Empire vibes and I like it
God I already have 400 hours in this awesome game, Here's to another 400 more.
1k online... maybe 1.5k offline xD
Amplitude Studios really knows how to make epic music for their trailers
So...this is a fallen empire, isn’t it?
Yup they start very strong and then decline. They worshipped the Lost, the original "Gods" of the Endless universe before the Endless harvested them
@@dobyk5338 they ain't gonna get along well with the vodyani.
@@leninthebeaniesouhacker.2459 does anyone ever?
Not even they themselves.
@@Washeek true that.
What a great trailer!
It really hit me with some nostalgia for late 90's/early 2000's RTS' due to the spacey soundtrack, I think; what a treat!
I don't even play 4X's, but simply love the effort these people put in to craft their worlds :)
I love this Ethiopian aesthetic, I love the theme, I love Endless space !! Thank you !!
wow that music was freaking amazing
What are you talking about its plane as fuck?
@@ajosralastname7823 Yeah but jet plane or turboprop plane?
@@ajosralastname7823 For you perhabs.
I can't say enough times how good you guys are at these concepts
Ok Amplitude, you got me again.
This is a rarity to me
An amazing game made by an amazing company releasing amazing content. This is the reason I love u so much Amplitude 💖
Lmao this comment aged like milk after seeing how badly received the expansion was
I wonder what kind of gameplay will it be this time.
Not one, but Two empires!
It will be a fallen empire. You start advanced but without ways to make science until you fulfill the story bits. You can read about it on their site.
@@geminusleonem9365 That's interesting!
@@principleshipcoleoid8095 This is getting out of hand
@@geminusleonem9365 have the link please? :D
Awaken my masters!
From what little we've seen, they almost look human.
They look exactly human
@@ajosralastname7823 I mean that's a little bit of a stretch.
Theant19 or maybe they took a look at their game and say space samurai and and trees and decided adding a bit of melanin might not be a stretch
@Theant19 I swear if I hear one of yall say this in person imma punch the shit outta you..
Oh shit! here we go again
Love her head piece :o
The theme of the nakalim already sounds amazing.
Ok that probably will be veeery interesting
MAKE A MASS EFFECT RPG WITH THIS UNIVERSE AND I WOULD FOLLOW YOU INTO HELL AND WORSE!
There is too much xenophobic relations and down right differences between the factions. Plus ain’t no way your boning these, no way! Bad gamer, bad! War crimes are one thing, but some of us prefer to keep our dignity when commuting them!
I mean, most artwork that is about politics and diplomacy includes at least one craver, and almost none have an unfallen. Which I'll remind you, cravers have a trait that disallowes them from ever doing peaceful diplomacy, and unfallen are the resident hippies that want to unite everyone peacefully.
1:36 thats a warframe dog
I love her voice so much.
This OST is gonna be amazing.
I hope one day we can play as the prophet.
Iyksander? The Academyleader is a bit of a faction it it's own:D
The song of this trailer is amazing!
all the songs in ES2 trailer is amazing
Trailer is very good, but i have one question- this is last race in endless space 2?
Is it just me or does that dog creature next to the Nakalim leader look like a Kubrow from Warframe?
The temple thing kinda has an Orokin vibe, too.
If Isyander woke them up then they have to have some relation to the Lost (unless he went "lol why not"), which would then imply that the Lost's story will be expanded upon.
Nakalim were elevated by Lost named Sobra. It was probably a living planet, just like Auriga, because their home planet also bears same name. As such, most of the tech and knowledge they have were given by Lost to them, so they are very advanced, but lost (no pun intended) any ability to produce science themselves. Even with science they can get from minor populations and system improvements, any output is halved.
@@SublustrisAvis But... but that makes no sense at all. If you have Lost-level tech that means you've already researched everything, since researching tech is very much about getting on the level of the Endless, who themselves stole Dust from the Lost. And that's not even getting into the "you need to understand the tech to make it work and to maintain it" topic. Ah well. Maybe it will make sense while playing through their faction quest.
They do have a connection. They already start with diplomatic connections with Isiander, just like the Umbral Choir had hacking as a core skill. They can use the Academy to their advantage and start much stronger than other empires, although their power declines over time
@@dobyk5338 That makes sense after their trailer. I don't think any DLC faction made me wtf this much but hey, that's discovery for ya.
@@Khorothis yeah. Amplitude wanted to create a "reverse faction", something that plays fundamentally different from other factions. Which is cool. And it ties them into the whole "Academy diplomacy" skill, so they are the best at getting what they want from the Academy, which is now a distinct NPC faction, like the pirates but more powerful
Ooooo boy, here we go again
Astonishing visuals and music.
God bless new content!
Yay! Not one, but two new Empires!
Amplitude has officially given us a QUEEN.
Man, the music in this game is just insane.
I don't really know what to think of this DLC. The Art-Style is Amplitude typical again very stylistically confident, exceptional and unique. I guess they aimed for some kind of Afro-Futurism this time. But it does not tell me anything about how the faction will play in the end. Also the screenshots and the description text on the Steam page are not very informative.
I will wait for gameplay videos, previews and / or reviews before I decide whether to buy this DLC or skip it.
They explain the basics of how the faction works on games2gether. They start extremely advanced, but they're unable to generate new tech without fulfilling presumably difficult requirements. It's an ES2 faction, so naturally it's completely different from anything else in the game, it looks very very cool to me. I honestly can't wait.
Yes, Afro-Futurism super advanced Lost-worshipping empire
The devs did a whole stream the other day about them, and are giving us live gameplay on the 12th.
My last two faction DLCs were mispurchases. - I'd rather wait for reports from an independent source.
@@Chuck_vs._The_Comment_Section But you have no real info to start with.
Wich new function in game fo yall think will be added? I hope this faction will be like mykari in endeless legend.
They don't come with any new mechanics but they do have an interesting twist.
They are a reawakened fallen galactic empire.
As such they start with the first 2 tiers of research already completed but their populations don't produce science at all and the non-population science is halved. In order to tech past tier 2, they need to do missions and hunt down relics of their pre-fall technology.
And they have a unique building: "the temple of the lost" which stops you from getting all the resources including anomalies of the planet you build it on.
But......it pumps out so much influence that they will be able to peacefully convert solar systems that are affected by its influence radius.
@@EBTcraft15 Er, they have the relics as a new mechanic, plus the Academy is expanded.
The Lost has returned.
Sad that this is rhe last endless space 2 beought out. After this, there was little to no development on ES2 anymore. Oh well, we have simetbing good already, just wish that there could be even more
My mind & heart isn't really for another faction & awesomeness. 😵🤯
Did they include an option to play without the AI using those planet-sniping ships?
Yes, they added that quite a while back during the last expansion.
Cool, then I’ll probably get back to This game :)
@@Szminsky I've been playing with the turned off too. :) I heard they patched it to make them less obnoxious though so I might try a game with them in to see if they work better.
already purchased! so excited!
HYPE
Necrons are reborn ...
It's great that a new faction has appeared, but ... they are too much like people. As if not a new race, but simply one colonial ship in space was lost in ancient times. (google-translate)
I have to honestly agree with you. They're not really very creative looking.
Well, we'll see more about them soon. Many of them are deformed, though.
@@branedey6421 You're just seeing their Queen, the best-preserved Nakalim.
@@imperator5228 Ohhhh, there you go. Interesting to find out what broke them up.
@@branedey6421 They lost their strength after their god Sobra vanished or was killed by the Endless. So, they're a very old race that predates the Dust Wars.
Nice kubrow you got there.
WE WUZ KANGS! the faction.
Trailer looking goood!!!!
Ce ne sont pas les démons dont parlent les Vodyani dans leur prologue ? Et que l'on peut voir schématisé visuellement durant le passage du trailer ?
En tout cas vivement qu'on en apprenne plus sur les Perdus, votre background est magnifique et l'OST toujours dingue !
Non, les démons dont ils parlent dans le prologue et qui sont dessinés sur la fresque sont les Perdus. Les Nakalims n'ont été évoqué nul part. C'est vrai que l'on ne connait pas grand chose sur eux, juste un peu avec Auriga et Koyasil puis aussi Isyander.
@@charlierobert1917 c'est vrai avec les 4 yeux, ça peut correspondre. J'espère que ce DLC sera bien l'occasion d'en apprendre bien plus !
Exact, les démons dont parle les Vodyani sont les Perdus. Ils les considèrent ainsi car ils vénèrent les Endless (ennemi des perdus) qui les ont transcendé. Les endless ont remporté cette guerre, éparpillant la puissance des perdus sous la forme de la dust à travers l'univers, dust qui est à l'origine de pas mal de chose dans l'univers d'endless space (cf le tout premier trailer). Les Nekkarim sont quant à eux à l'opposé des des Vodyani : leur grand empire a toujours marché dans le sillon de celui des perdus, profitant de leurs technologie et leur puissance, mais quand ceux si ont disparus, ils sont allé se mettre en stase comme tu peux le voir dans ce trailer.
Mais tous ça c'était avant qu'Isyander foute le bordel (vodyani du trailer). Ce dernier à l'objectif de ramener à la vie les perdus grâce à l'académie. Comme cela profite aussi au Nekkarim, je suppose qu'il est allé les réveiller pour obtenir de l'aide face aux fanatiques vodyanis et autres faction qui penchent en faveur des endless.
Voilà j'ai essayer de synthétiser le lore autour de cette faction, j'espère avoir été compréhensible :)
L'univers Endless est vraiment mon préféré parmi tout les jeux vidéos, et est réelelment magnifier par les musiques et les illustrations soignées d'amplitude studio
WE WUZ KANGS N SHIET
Honestly if some Blacks react to that just because those people ingame are black. That would pathetic.
I'm more entertained by people still posting this we wuz stuff. I'm still trying to see the problem here.
@@alexanderrow7643 It is funny. Nothing more.
YESSSSSSS
So the Defenders won the academy quest?? The leader of the academy questline said he was going to summon the lost during the Defenders ending.
Nakalim are not the lost, but they want to bring them back.
WAKANDA FOREVA!!!
This is "WE WUZ KUNGS' ND SHIET"
WAKANDA FOREVER
WE WUZ ENDLESS N SHEET
Fantastic!
WE WUZ KANGS!
Wow!!!
look like OROKIN from warframe or I insane???
Why is that everyone is talking about Orokin, warframe and kubrows? is this the Tenno? why would Amplitude make such overpowered faction? NERF OPERATORS
It’s a shame I’ll never actually play this faction because of how stupid Isyander is and how closely the Nakalim are tied to his mechanics. It’s a real shame, but I’m not gonna deal with paying reparations every turn because some uppity Vodyani keeps attacking me with late-game ships.
Unless you have endless space 2 on GoG, steam workshop is easy to access and install a mod that neuters Isyander. And Nakalim that wage war against Isyander aren't that much different in power level than those who cooperate.
Wakanda foreva?
Yeeeees lets goooooo
alien F E E T
*the Necrons would like to know your location*
Nilfgaard vibes from their banners anyone?
WE WUZ KANGZ!
I didn’t enjoy this game. It needs better tutorials. But damn. Amplitude’s art style is consistently beautiful. I can’t wait to see what they come up with next.
We've just inaugurated a new Tutorial feature on the Games2Gether, where players can share tips and tricks to learn the game and get better! Check it out: www.games2gether.com/amplitude-studios/endless-space-2/tutorials
Honestly Endless legend was the only Amplitude game I could really get into.
Amplitude Studios Alright, will do. I really like Games2gether, I think inviting us to vote on concepts I s really cool. I just forget to check in as often as I maybe should.
@@CRWM987 They also have a new game called Humankind coming out next year; it's a planetary 4X like Endless Legend was but covers human history.
Jacob Valentin Yep! Very aware. It’s looking good just from the little they’ve shown.
alright we are reinstalling the game
WE WUZ KANGZ
where is black panther?
Wake up, Tenno...
WE WUZ NAKALIM
Splicing intensifies
Back when you made the comment, their splice bonus was so dogshit 😔
Is this Wakandian Empire?
Soooo...... Are they an alien race or a very ancient human civilization?
well according to the in-game lore all bipedal humanoids have a common ancestor. there is a whole quest line around it that triggers if the correct planets spawn in the galaxy and you happen to be playing one of those.
Finwaell Interesting.
@@Finwaell very interesting. Do you know how this quest is called?
Questions :
1. Why is Isyander's armor not white ?
2. Why is the UE Hero lady here with them ? She left the Academy !
Perhaps it'sset before she left the academy
Mhariz Saifuddin This is pretty obviously before the formation of the Academy
This is faction origin video. Isyander found them while searching Lost's temple sites. As he still has his black cloth, he probably departed Vodyani not so long ago. As his two pathfinders are beside him, Academy is formed already, but it is still years before Academy crysis event.
*I AM ONCE AGAIN ASKING FOR YOUR FINANCIAL SUPPORT*
hey hey people
Wait... is that kubrow?!
Is that woman petting a Kubrow?
Cool, but did they ever fix the Umbral Choir?

Where are russian subtitles???

Wow
Take my money!
Wakanda fo eva
All i really need is harmony from es1
We have them. But small. And less Dusthating.
Horatio were kinda turned into harmony gameplay wise. Starts out slow, but has big bonuses late game.
Antropomorphic aliens generally do not atract me very much 😔
...And then came the worst addition to endless Space 2 with the introduction of Isyiandor and his fucked up gameplay mechanics.
please fix the dlc
Pay reparations now.
Such a great idea for the game but the expansion is so bad... Amplitude, fucking do it yourself from now on.
Too bad this faction is tied to the an expansion so bad it makes the game worse.
-Spear should have worked like a Pirate Mark, but defensive. You could order it to move and defend a system of yours at will, but can't attack with it.
-The Academy should have had limited expansion, maybe even attempt to only expand to Unique planet containing systems if at all.
-Expansion really needed a copy editor and a loremaster to proofread and correct the mistakes.
You should try it again, I got hired to fix it recently
