The NEW NPF Steam Game Night Extravaganza Funtimes Party Thread

[Arcanum]

So Endless Space is free to play this weekend. I played about 15 or 20 turns of a game so far, and from my limited experience with both ES and Civ5, I think it's safe for me to say with 100% accuracy that ES is Civilization in space.

Anyway, the game seems pretty interesting, and has a stupid amount of depth (for example you can make your own race by picking and choosing your starting bonuses and negatives, starting planet type, diplomacy tendency, and other stuff that I didn't look into all that much).

I'm not going to buy it yet, going to play it some more to get a better grasp of the game and even then I'll wait until the Xmas sale unless I get super hooked. Still, if anyone wants to try some multiplayer (preferably co-op against the AI but I will go up against someone as new to the game as I am) then PM me or message me on steam.
