Thank you for making this channel and releasing proper and deep guides. I've been looking everywhere trying to figure out how to play these guys and no one on UA-cam really knew either, or if they did they wouldn't explain anything. Really appreciate it.
Hatched at home costs and additional +1 kei per colonized system so Instead of draining 1 kei per turn, It drains 2 which isn't worth it for the first 20 or so turns
I just won my first Hissho game, my attacker ships were short ranged beasts with railguns while my protector ships had the science module and beams. I got the science from scrap tactics card which let me add siege modules on the protectors. All 3 of my Hissho heroes were admirals with fleet strengths of around 190k offensive power! Razing system after system gave me tons of resources to mine, and since all the AIs had system shields to defend from an Obliterator, I pivoted to a wonder victory. Great guide, great channel, I'm looking forward to more content from you.
Thanks, never could get on with the Hissho and this helped me out a lot. The warlike faction aesthetic is a bit misleading really; they have more in common with Endless Legend's Allayi (my fav EL faction, incidentally) than anyone else for half the game. So essentially: don't fret about colonisation like you would with other factions, instead focus on the things you need to rush the best Behemoth techs and maximise your starting system. Pretty much the opposite of what I'd been doing, then!
Allayi are my favorite too, yes that's a good point they are quite similar. You don't go to war to conquer, you war to raze systems for your mining probes lol, just take and hold capitals.
I just watched your cravers video! I loved it. I’m used to simpler Sophons and gimmicky factions like cravers, hisho, and vodyani are a bit difficult for me to enjoy so I love hearing you make sense of them
These are really helpful. I love Endless Space from a lore standpoint, but the gameplay sometimes frustates me as many factions don't seem very intuitive to play. Thank you for helping me survive more than 20 turns in multiplayer :D
I would love an Umbral Choir guide. They're the most arcane to me, especially because I don't really understand hacking in general. I'm a big fan of playing "good" guys, but my favorite faction for now is Nakalim.
I can go over hacking and umbral defense in the hissho guide, however the AI plays umbrals poorly. Maybe I can record part of a game session against an umbral and use that!
I absolutely support this content ! ES2 is life ! Edit: Little question, is the ESG mod compatible with the reawakening update ? I know that most of the ESG mod was integrated into the game itself as its creator worked with Amplitude for Reawakening Cheers !
I just use the mod, it still has active development and has changes I'm used to that the patch does not include for whatever reason. I doubt they work together!
I finally beat impossible difficulty and discovered that vodyani are so cool and stylish but I just dont enjoy their playstyle. Now its time to try endless for the first time... with the hishoo for the first time! What can go wrong xd. Rewatching this video now xd
@@theendlessspaceacademyi saw u manually drag things up the building queue. if u hold "alt" and left click in the left menu it will automatically be placed on top of the queue. same with science
i joined the esg discord and ur videos became a topic. dont know if u actively read whats goin on there but i didnt want to ping "whisperer" in case its not actually you xd.
I don't do much in there it's just where other people organize games. You can ping me if u want, why did you want to join one of my games? I can dm you next time if you want
Babe wake up Endless Space Academy just released a Hissho guide
Haha
Great to see new endless space guides!! I love this game.
Agreed
Awesome stuff. There's only a few people playing the game, but it's great to see new content for it.
Great game but it is getting older so makes sense
Their music theme SLAPS btw. And its one of, if not the only race that can forgo colonization techs altogether, which is kind of mindblowing.
Very true!

I'm glad they are helping people, I initially made them for my friends since all other guides were a bit old lol.
@@theendlessspaceacademy Quick question, if the max cap before over colonization is 2 for this game, why aren't you colonizing a second system asap?
Hatched at home costs and additional +1 kei per colonized system so Instead of draining 1 kei per turn, It drains 2 which isn't worth it for the first 20 or so turns
@@theendlessspaceacademy I would have never figured that out on my own, thanks!

just recently i started playing this game love your up to date guides. keep them coming
So glad to see a new guide from Endless Academy!
Good to hear!
welcome back, king
Thanks!
Perfect timing, right as I started re-playing ES2

Especially because I think all three are cool and I want to play all of them
Live your work. Give us more.
I'll try, appreciate the support!
This was awesome I learn a lot.
thanks man! love these o7
Glad to hear it!

Some are certainly worse than others, I personally don't like the Umbral Choir for this reason.
yayy, glad your still about
Awesome, always wanted to play the hissho but I suck at them, this ought to help :)
Also umbral choir sounds great
They are the most asymmetric faction, I will try to learn them!
Nakalim guide would be nice, reawakening patch changed them a lot
When using the market, you can shift click to put in a buy/sell all order
If there's one thing I rarely use it's the macros lol
@@theendlessspaceacademy my pointy finger thanks me for every click saved ;)

Id have to learn them too, I only know how to counter them haha
@@theendlessspaceacademy omg i would also like to know that 😅

Also the fleet for farming science opened my eyes, also my friends hate me for it. You should roll a separate guide for this kind of stuff.
I could make a shorter video about that maybe. Guess not many know about this!
if I can make a wish id like to see a nakalim, unfallen, umbral choir or vaulters guide. Yeah basically all of them u havent covered yet xD
Lol umbral choir is next after I finish what I want to do for hissho
agressive unfallen is fun, because conquest instantly roots the system
LEEEEEETS GOOOOOO!!!!

@@theendlessspaceacademy Okey thanks for answering, loved the vid, motivated me to properly discover the Hissho ^^
Good to hear, they are one of the more interesting factions!

Good luck fracking the galaxy with those mining probes!
