Endless Space is a 4X game from indie developer Amplitude Studios and is in many ways the Spiritual Successor to Master of Orion. Set in the year 3000 AD, the player must chose to lead one of eleven civilizations (or your own) in conquering a galaxy that once belonged to a race of Precursors known only as the Endless. The galaxy is randomly generated each time and can vary in size and shape, depending on how the host player chooses to generate it. The game's economy is centered around four basic resources: food, industry, dust and science, or FIDS. Dust is a substance created by the Endless and has some fairly useful properties.A player wins the game when they reach the requirements for a number of victory conditions: Annihilation: If all other civilizations are wiped out the last civilization standing wins. Expansion: conquer 75% or more of the colonized universe. Scientific: the first player to research the Pan-Galactic Society, the last technology of the Science tree, wins the game. That particular technological wonder is very expensive, but reaching the ends of the other technology trees will make it easier to finish. Economic: the first player to reach a certain level of cumulative revenue (Dust) wins. Only overall revenue matters, so it does not matter if you spent it all. Diplomatic: if you manage to survive long enough while being at war the least amount of time, you may be able to impose yourself and win thanks to your wisdom and integrity. Supremacy: the first player to own all the original players’ homeworlds will win. Score: if no one managed to win with one of the previous victory conditions, the player with the highest score wins when the turn limit is reached. Wonder: If a civilization manages to build five large supercomputers they are able to actuality predict all possible actions done by other civilizations and move to stop them before they even think of doing it. So you control the galaxy by proxy.In addition to intricate and addicting gameplay (in typical 4X fashion), the game also runs at least partially on Rule of Funny, giving it a very different tone than others of its genre. Additionally, the developers are allowing the players to actually vote on which features will be included in future updates of the game. Suggestions are also being taken sometimes, such as a new faction and several new achievements (which include the name of the player who suggested them). Finally, there is a Random Event system to create some variety in gameplay.The game was followed by: Dungeon of the Endless (2014) - A Rogue Like game which has you coordinating a team of crash-landed prisoners and/or prison guards trying to survive and escape from an underground network of Endless-built workshops and storerooms. Endless Legend (2014) - A fantasy 4X set in the same universe as Endless Space. Endless Space 2 (2017) A Sequel. Endless Dungeon (TBA) - A Rogue-lite Tactical Action game.Not to be confused with Infinite Space or Endless Sky. | |

Abusive Precursors | |
| Endless Space (Video Game) / int_109b036e | comment |
It is mentioned that the Endless were divided into multiple factions, so they have a bit of all three tropes. The Harmony however fall directly into Abusive Precursors, as their mission is to destroy all Dust, a valuable resource that every galactic power except them uses. It's stated that they don't care how many people they need to kill to do this. | |

Hyperspace Lanes | |
| Endless Space (Video Game) / int_142f2d88 | comment |
Hyperspace Lanes: Start the game and you will find that you are limited to using predefined star lanes or "cosmic strings". It takes quite bit of research to allow ship movement outside of them, and a lot more until it becomes a practical traveling method outside of select few situations (like two star systems being relatively close to one another without a cosmic string connection). | |

Unstable Equilibrium | |
| Endless Space (Video Game) / int_17975d1b | comment |
Unstable Equilibrium: heavily weighted towards early expansion. If you manage to get enough systems under your belt, you will win. If you don't, you will lose. It's really that simple. (Relatedly, this makes certain map styles, particularly the Spiral ones, very difficult to play on: you are much more likely to be bottlenecked by Wormholes into a territory which is too small to support a victory.) | |

Practical Currency | |
| Endless Space (Video Game) / int_18e7aa01 | comment |
Practical Currency: Dust is made up of ultra-high tech nanobots which formed the backbone of the ancient Endless civilization. The races that control the galaxy today don't (yet) have the technological know-how to make full use of it, but it can still be used to augment basic industrial processes. | |

Terraform | |
| Endless Space (Video Game) / int_19944e8f | comment |
Terraform: The game features this deep in the colonization and exploration tech tree. However, terraforming a hostile world isn't easy, and there are multiple stages of planet types that must be successfully transformed in order to slowly turn a hostile world into a garden: gas giants > barren or lava > arctic or desert > tundra or arid > terran, jungle, or ocean worlds. Terraforming sideways within tiers, or even down tiers, is also possible. Asteroid belts, however, can't be improved at all. In a separate form of terraforming, negative and mixed planetary anomalies such as strong magnetic fields, seismic activity, and toxic environments can be alleviated through other technologies in the same tech tree - the first stage allows the remedy of minor anomalies (which are often a mix of good and bad, which the treatment removing the bad and sometimes even boosts the good), then later the ability to remove severe anomalies. Played with in that descriptions for remedied anomalies indicate that it's just as often the result of adapting the colony's systems to the environment. | |

Captain Ersatz | |
| Endless Space (Video Game) / int_25b5600 | comment |
Captain Ersatz: As an 'indie' game, Endless Space has references in many places such as the races themselves up to the game feature descriptions provided at the dotted line: The Amoebas are fundamentally the same as the Eees from the Space Empires series. As gentle Energy Beings, both Amoebas and Eees rely heavily on their "galactic info" and are old enough to know what secrets lie within the galaxy they play in. The United Empire is a hybrid of the Terran Dominion from StarCraft and the Trade Emergency Coalition of Sins of a Solar Empire. The Sophons and Pilgrims resemble versions of the Advent from Sins of a Solar Empire. Exiled as Cyborgs for the Pilgrims and has that Everything Is an iPod in the Future likeness for the Sophons, while both struggle for their unity as two races. Actually, Endless Space came first with their idea in Dust before RWBY, as the material is currently used not just in industrial purposes, but also in scientific and weaponized technology. Not to mention it can be used to turn average computers into god-like AI's by simply filling them with the same material. What Could Possibly Go Wrong? if you have a race called Endless to so happened to spread their ancient technology, more so inspiring others, across the universe via Dark Ancient Cities and Wormholes, and still look like humanoids for so many years. | |

Spiritual Successor: For Master of Orion. Several of the factions are spiritual successors to the races from that series as well. The three races that leap out as the most directly inspirednote and not just filling common genre roles are the Horatio, the Sowers, and the Cravers, who are successors to the Sakkra, the Silicoids, and the Harvesters. | |

A Winner Is You: Despite nice intros for each faction at the beginning of the game, all victories share the same simple pop-up window, followed by a set of graphs of various faction strengths. Slightly changed in a recent update. Every faction gets a popup with it's own text and picture after victory or defeat. Not the same as a full movie, but better than before. | |

State Sec: The Sheredyn, originally they were just the bodyguards for the emperors of the United Empire. By the time of the game, however, the Sheredyn have begun to take over corporations along with building independent colonies and creating their own interstellar logistics networks. This has transformed them from an elite bodyguard force into a powerful subfaction within the empire; to the point they are almost a state within a state. | |

| Endless Space (Video Game) / int_2cb29dd7 | comment |
Standard Human Spaceship: The United Empire has mostly blocky ships, though some have very sweet curved bows in the manner of naval ships. The Sheredyn, bodyguards to the Emperor in the Praetorian tradition, have ships with the same structure but massive bling for massive win. The Pilgrims, who've had lots of interactions with the Sophon, have ships that are a mishmash of blocky and shiny curves aesthetics. The other races have every kind of design imaginable, from mechanical monstrosities to armored bacteria to sculpture to birdlike vessels to robot octopi. It's a pretty exciting galaxy you live in. | |

Space Pirates: Yeah, they exist in-game, and early on they can be a real pain in the ass. Random events will also spawn them on your home planet. Fortunately, they seem more interested in rape and pillage: if they fry your fleet, instead of sticking around to do infrastructure damage they'll hare off after more things to fight. Although they can invade your star systems if they don't find anything more interesting nearby. | |

No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup | |
| Endless Space (Video Game) / int_35022c20 | comment |
No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup: Done in an unusual way: in the distant future, we'll only be able to store 10 ship family designs. You may delete a ship blueprints to make room for new ones, but then that entire ship family cannot be built or upgraded ever again. Besides those, you can upgrade any version of a ship to the most modern if it's docked at one of your planets, meaning you can upgrade a several-hundred-year-old ship for just a little extra money than a year-old ship. Also, some random events create "Advanced Defenders", ships that are powerful in the very early game but can never be upgraded, due to the same mechanic of not having blueprints for them, to the point that they're hilariously underarmored, outgunned, and slow even by the mid-game. There are also deserted Endless structures on some planets which need some serious repair to get up and running, but there is no way of using that knowledge to build more of them, not even inferior replica. | |

Command & Conquer Economy | |
| Endless Space (Video Game) / int_3556ccfc | comment |
Command & Conquer Economy: Nothing ever gets built unless you specifically order it. The game also lacks lock-up warnings: "Your city is not building anything! Are you sure you want to proceed?" If you're not careful, systems could lie fallow for decades before you notice. There are some warnings which (with the right Option enabled) prevent you from ending your turn if there are critical issues like not having anything set to research or running out of cash. | |

Defector from Decadence | |
| Endless Space (Video Game) / int_38f1a7ed | comment |
Defector from Decadence: The Pilgrims Faction. They are all rebels from the United Empire. Also an explanation for why you can have some many other Faction's heroes. The Sheredyn are unhappy with the money politics of the empire and are planning long-term to replace it. It is not entirely clear whether they have formally split off from the United Empire or are still a powerful subfaction within the Empire. The majority of sources (The artbook, Slowhands posting, brief in-game description) indicate the latter, but the introduction video added in the 1.0.87 update indicates the former. | |

A.I. Is a Crapshoot | |
| Endless Space (Video Game) / int_420c50b7 | comment |
A.I. Is a Crapshoot: The Sowers are a race of biological machines designed by the Virtual faction of the Endless to terraform and colonize one planet. However there was a Giant civil war that wiped out the Endless. Their response was to keep going to different planets and doing the same thing as that is their goal. Averted with the new Automaton faction. Their creators had all but destroyed their planet so their last action was to create the Automatons. They were barely sapient, living meager lives until an Endless Ship crashed into their planet and the Dust that was released made them fully self-aware. Now they collect Dust in an attempt to remain self-aware. The new introduction for them describes them as isolationist pacifists, who have no interest in harming anyone else unless they are forced to defend themselves. | |

You Have Researched Breathing | |
| Endless Space (Video Game) / int_4a10e526 | comment |
You Have Researched Breathing: You have to conduct research in order to colonize planets beyond Terran, Jungle and Ocean. Some of which, like Arid, you wouldn't think you would have much trouble colonizing. An Arid world may have too little water or other materials to colonize without specialized equipment which they obviously don't have fridge logic about having already developed the technology aside. The Technology says that it's allows them to colonize the planet without disturbing the local ecosystems. IE not completely wrecking the planet they are trying to live on. Averted with the Sowers, who can settle even Gas Giants and Asteroids from the start, but suffer a 25% penalty on the output until the proper tech is researched. Not to mention that the more difficult the planet type, the worse it affects approval, which can further hamper it. Custom races can start on planets that they don't know how to colonize yet (i.e. Sower Affinity starts you off on a tundra planet). | |

Money for Nothing: Once you have half a dozen colonies and some basic infrastructure set up, you can begin accumulating obscene amounts of money. However, earning huge amounts of cash is actually a way of winning the game. Of course to balance this out is that any and all mid to end game buildings and ships cost even more obscene amounts of money. Averted with The Harmony. They don't use money at all, since the Dust that acts as currency in the game is actually harmful to them. | |

And Your Reward Is Clothes: Early players who bought the Emperor Edition got access to a special faction which was just a re-skinned United Empire. The most recent edition of the game has made it a completely different faction available to everyone, however. Buying the Founder's Edition of Dungeon of the Endless nets you the Vaulters faction for Endless Space and Endless Legend. They have their own unique story material and mechanics - being a somewhat-nomadic, scientific faction that excels at digging in and establishing strong defensive points, but their ships are - for the most part - simply reskinned and renamed versions of the UE ships. | |

Yin-Yang Clash | |

Yin-Yang Clash: The Sowers seek to make every world a paradise, the Cravers seek to consume every world. Sibling Yin-Yang as well, since the Endless created both races. The Sowers also have one going with the Sophons, having slow-moving ships and a penalty to research but increased productivity and the Sophons being on the opposite end of the extreme in those aspects. | |

Quantum Mechanics Can Do Anything | |
| Endless Space (Video Game) / int_7ef08424 | comment |
Quantum Mechanics Can Do Anything: Many late-game techs are based on the assumption that a good enough grasp of quantum mechanics can make regular physics go sit in the corner. This ranges from stasis bubbles to materials that don't age. Quantum and regular physics usually agree until a very specific set of circumstances get involved. | |

Twin Maker: The Horatio faction. Horatio the First was an androgynous, beauty-obsessed narcissist, left society to set up shop on a planet by himself, where he found Imported Alien Phlebotinum. He then proceeded to clone an entire society of himself and then decided that the rest of the universe could only be improved by the presence of more of his beauty. The faction's hat is high population growth and density. | |

Precursors: The Endless. However unlike most Precursors that mysterious disappear with no trace the various factions know exactly what happened to them. A giant Civil War is what destroyed all of them... Save for the occasional Remnant which you can get as a hero. The Mezari are this to all the human factions. They were a galaxy-wide power around the time of Dungeon of the Endless, were on the decline by the time of Endless Legend, and are totally gone by the time Endless Space and Endless Space 2 begin. All that remains are a few groups scattered throughout the stars: The United Empire, which grew out of Raia, a Lost Colony. The Pilgrims, who split from the United Empire and are close allies with the Sophons. Horatio, who is a living Mezari magnate that cloned himself many times and built a nation of himself. The Vaulters, who can trace their origins to a the Argosy, a Mezari arkship that originally crashed in Auriga before they restored it and used it to escape the dying world. The secretive Dust Collective, of which little is known. | |

Superweapon Surprise: Interestingly, larger ship chassis designs are in the exact opposite direction of Galactic Warfare in the Technology Tree, and more effective battle cards are in the same tree as research and production, and fleet sizes are (usually) in the same tree as food, trade, and happiness research, leading to situations where an overspecialized invader ends up having to fight a peaceful empire with huge fleets of ships four times larger than theirs. | |

Crippling Overspecialization | |
| Endless Space (Video Game) / int_9aaf8eca | comment |
Crippling Overspecialization: It's up to you if you want to do this since you get to design all your ships. However, while every pirate ship you encounter starts with just kinetic weaponry, if you overspecialized to deal with that, your ships will be cut apart when the pirates start mounting armor defenses, lasers and missiles. AI Players are also guilty of this, in that they tend to focus ship weaponry on just one damage type (though they often compose fleets with different ships having different specialties, and they do adjust to their opposition). | |

Character Alignment | |
| Endless Space (Video Game) / int_9d9a875f | comment |
Character Alignment: Invoked by the in-game descriptions of each race; however, it's been made explicit by the developers that "Good" and "Evil" should really be "Peaceful" and "Warlike". The Hissho, for instance, are evil because they are a Proud Warrior Race, despite being pretty nice to their citizens. With that out of the way... Good: Amoeba, Automatons, Pilgrims, Sophons Neutral: Horatio, Sowers, Harmony, Vaulters Evil: Cravers, Hissho, United Empire, Sheridyn. The Cravers deserve special note because they can never sue for peace. Their Horror Hunger demands Forever War. | |

Point Build System: Although used for building a race instead of a character, the game gives you a set amount of points to distribute as the player wishes, with positive and negative attributes. Problem is that you have less points then any of the standard races. Also used for building ships, but it's not as static since you can unlock new modules through research and some techs even reduce the weight of all modules. | |

| Endless Space (Video Game) / int_b7371b70 | comment |
Mechanically Unusual Class: The Harmony do not utilize dust. In fact, their FIDS production is harmed by its presence. They cannot hire heroes or buyout production, and in exchange get hefty bonuses to FIS production from the presence of ships in orbit around their worlds; a stronger (and free) version of a similar research for the Automatons. | |

A Commander Is You | |
| Endless Space (Video Game) / int_c2c32a79 | comment |
A Commander Is You: The Amoeba are Diplomats. One of their faction traits is even called Diplomats. They get a lot of bonuses to trade routes with allies and they also get an approval bonus for every faction that is either allied with them or at peace with them. They have a bonus to food production and get a small bonus to weapon damage when supporting allied fleets. They also start with the whole map visible, including the homeworlds of the opposing factions, which helps considerably during early expansion. Their main downside is their abilities require making a couple of allies before they can really come into play. The Automatons are Balanced and Industrial with strengths and weaknesses that touch on everything but research. They get the same bonus to population density as the Horatio and they also get a bonus to approval ratings and a twenty percent increase on ship hitpoints and a fifty percent increase to trade routes bonuses, along with the ability to stockpile industry and eventually use starships to boost construction. On the negative side, they have ten percent less dust per system, Hero abilities cost more to use, they have two less command points compared to other factions and their starting planet has an anomaly which lowers approval significantly. The Cravers are a mixture of Spammers and Brute Force with shades of Industrialists and Researchers. Their ships cost twenty percent less, they get a forty percent bonus to the current research for each destroyed enemy Command Point, they have two more command points then standard at the start of the game and several unique technologies to raise the CP limit further then other nations. They also have a bonus to population density, though not to the same degree as the Horatio and the Automatons. All this comes at the price of being locked into a permanent state of war with all of the other factions. The Hissho are a mixture of Elitist and Brute Force. They get a lot of bonuses to weapon damage and accuracy along with +1 Dust and +2 Science on each planet and a forty percent bonus to Hero xp per battle. The costs for their weapon modules are also halved. This comes at the price of minus twenty percent research per system. The Horatio are a mixture of Industrialists and Loyalists. Their main strengths are increased population growth overall and greater population density on on medium and smaller worlds. They also have the ability to clone heroes and reduced healing costs for heroes and they also get a small bonus to influence. Their main downside is a twenty-percent increase in the cost of their ships compared to other factions. The Pilgrims are a mixture of Diplomats, Loyalists and Researchers. They have a bonus to trade routes and their trade routes also work in Cold Wars and blockades will not break them. They gain a bonus to fleet weapon damage when supporting allies and a bonus to current research for every destroyed enemy command point. They also have an approval bonus per system and heroes receive an xp bonus when hired and the Pilgrims have reduced upkeep costs for their heroes. They can also evacuate star systems and they have a bonus to ownership on each system they take from the United Empire. On the downside their ships suffer a twenty percent penalty on useable mass, meaning you can't put as many weapons, armor, etc... on Pilgrim ships as you can ships of other factions. The Sophons are Researchers and Rangers. They gain a thirty percent increase in research and a bonus to research when taxes are low. Their ships are significantly faster than the other factions and have a larger detection radius. The cost for their support modules is also halved. This comes at the price of a twenty-five percent penalty to defense, -8 defense per unit of population in each system, and a ten percent increase in the cost of improvements. The Sowers are Industrialists and Loyalists. They get +1 Industry and +10 approval per planet, an additional small approval bonus per system, their planetary improvements cost thirty percent less, and they gain ten Dust for every destroyed enemy Command Point. On the downside their ships are slower and they suffer a twenty percent research penalty. They can also establish colonies on any planet, even Gas Giants and Asteroids, at the start of the game but suffer a twenty-five percent penalty on the resource output until the proper tech is researched. The United Empire is a mixture of Economists and Brute Force with a little of Spammer thrown in. They get ten percent more Dust per system and +1 Dust per unit of of population. A tax rate above twenty-five percent also gives them a bonus to production. Their ships get a ten percent bonus to xp and a forty percent bonus to hitpoints. They also have a system defensive bonus per system. Their main downside is increased cost for Hero abilities. This faction tends to be very powerful in later stages of the game because once they get set up their strong economy allows them to crank out a seemingly endless supply of tough, durable, experienced warships. Like the United Empire, the Sheredyn are a mixture of Economists and Brute Force. They get +1 Dust per unit of of population, their ships have forty percent more hitpoints and their faction ability prevents enemies from retreating. Their main downside is a penalty to luxury goods production and an approval hit for every deal broken. The Harmony are a mixture of Industrialists and Loyalists along with being a Gimmick faction (they are the only faction that does not use Dust). Their approval rating never drops below 50 and they get bonuses to resource production in their systems. They also have unlimited improvement and ship construction with no upkeep cost. However, this comes at the price of ships not being able to be upgraded due to lack of Dust and any ship (not just colony ships like the other factions) built will halt all population growth in that system. Since they don't use Dust they also cannot rush build ships and improvements or hire heroes. They also suffer a production penalty on systems with dust present. The Vaulters are Researchers, also mixed in with a bit of Stone Wall. They have various bonuses to research including 10% science per system and +1 science per population unit. They have traits that makes hired heroes start at level 2 and have reduced upkeep cost. They can construct their unique building: Portal, which allow them to teleport to any planet that also have portal. This, combining with their Fearless Warriors trait which increase system defense by 25% per population and buildings gained from faction specific technology that further increase system defense, means that it's nearly impossible to take their planets away once the Vaulters managed to get essential buildings up. If you do manage to take them, though, their Rebellion trait means that they'll lose ownership much faster than usual. They also suffer -10% food production, slowing population growth, which can be a bit at odds with their trait that increase maximum population on smaller planets. | |

Shout-Out: Those darn cultists blew up your Moon Temple when they crossed the proton beams. There's an Amoeban Hero named Galdos who has a thing for experiments. As of the game's December '12 patch, there is now an achievement for cloning this Hero: "Cake2". A certain Craver Hero's name is Drogon Freeman (also known as Norgod Freeman). The Ancient Artifacts planet trait mentions away teams, clad in red to readily identify their corpses when they inevitably die. The "Some Guy" random event. This business whiz is known for wearing a dark blue suit, blue shirt, and yellow tie, as well as being "Awesome to the max", just like "That Guy" (aka Steve Castle) in Futurama. | |

Humans Are Special | |
| Endless Space (Video Game) / int_e0207930 | comment |
Humans Are Special: The five human factions (United Empire, Sheredyn, Pilgrims, Horatio, and Vaulters) cover a lot of SF tropes about humanity. Humans Advance Swiftly: Vaulters, though not as fast as the Sophons. Humans Are Average: Averted. Each human faction has distinct strengths and weaknesses. Humans Are Diplomats: The Pilgrims. Humans Are Divided: Five human factions of every morality, while all the alien races are united. Humans Are Good: The Pilgrims strongly favor diplomatic and scientific victories over military ones. Humans Are Psychic in the Future: The Pilgrims are mystics and, through the magical mysteries of Dust nano-tech, implied to have extraordinary powers. Humans Are the Real Monsters: The United Empire plays this trope absolutely straight as The Empire in space. The Horatio provide a different example via narcissism gone mad. The Sheredyn, meanwhile, are an Expy of the SS. Humans Are Warriors: The United Empire. The Sheredyn even more so since they are an elite military force of the United Empire that is rapidly becoming a nation unto itself. Vaulters also count when it comes to defensive wars. Humans Are White: Justified trope for the Horatio, since they are all clones of one man. The other three factions are more ethnically diverse. Horatio himself is of ambiguous, possibly Asian descent. | |

Early-Bird Cameo | |

Early-Bird Cameo: Who's that weird fellow with the glowing eyes and seemingly anachronistic apparel? The Vaulters might know. | |

Arbitrary Headcount Limit | |
| Endless Space (Video Game) / int_f3cf30d9 | comment |
Arbitrary Headcount Limit: At the start of the game, your CP limit prevents you from putting more than 5 ships in one fleet, but there are researchable technologies to raise it. (And there's never anything stopping you from just having lots of fleets.) Also applies to how many Heroes you can have, starting with 3 (8 with all relevant techs). | |

Alien Invasion | |
| Endless Space (Video Game) / int_f56aeb67 | comment |
Alien Invasion: How you take planets from other empires! Expanded upon in the Disharmony expansion. Benevolent Alien Invasion: Arguable, depending on who's invading who. Easily Thwarted Alien Invasion: Possible in Disharmony, since infantry invasions have a percent chance of failing. La Résistance: Recently invaded planets have a significant production penalty, representing the populace being justifiably cheesed at you for violently conquering them. They generally can't kick you off the planet, though; they just make it hard to get anything done until your Ownership stabilizes or the planet gets conquered back. | |

Stone Wall | |
| Endless Space (Video Game) / int_f62cc38a | comment |
The Vaulters are Researchers, also mixed in with a bit of Stone Wall. They have various bonuses to research including 10% science per system and +1 science per population unit. They have traits that makes hired heroes start at level 2 and have reduced upkeep cost. They can construct their unique building: Portal, which allow them to teleport to any planet that also have portal. This, combining with their Fearless Warriors trait which increase system defense by 25% per population and buildings gained from faction specific technology that further increase system defense, means that it's nearly impossible to take their planets away once the Vaulters managed to get essential buildings up. If you do manage to take them, though, their Rebellion trait means that they'll lose ownership much faster than usual. They also suffer -10% food production, slowing population growth, which can be a bit at odds with their trait that increase maximum population on smaller planets. | |

Perpetual Storm | |
| Endless Space (Video Game) / int_fba50b70 | comment |
Perpetual Storm: Planets can spawn with a permanent monsoon, which provides a bonus to food and science production. Unfortunately, it also makes life miserable for any colonists who live there. You can reduce the negative impact through advanced Terraforming technology. | |

Forever War | |

Forever War: It is literally impossible for the Cravers to be at peace with any of the other factions. They have a trait called Endless War which you can give to your own custom factions. | |
