![]() Of course, the speculative settings of high fantasy or science fiction can offer a reprieve from the more immediate sociopolitical ramifications of this dirty work. Even in more cerebral takes on the formula like Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri, the player is signing up to enjoy all the indulgences of power through empire. 4X players explore, expand, exploit and exterminate their enemies (get it?) in pursuit of one form of global conquest or another, and they do so under the guise of capital-P Progress. Let’s just say it up front - there may not be a genre in gaming that glorifies the imperialist violence of colonialism more than 4X strategy. WTF The “succubots” slapping their own butts as idle animation. LOW Rough tutorial, inconsistent AI, unstable multi, minor UI bugs. ![]() ![]() Psi seems powerful on paper, but usually ends up being weaker than anything else lateron, I didn't find a good use for it yet.HIGH Spectacular combo of grand strategy and tactical combat. Psynumbra is overall meh IMO, but seems like a great boost for Syndicate or Kir'ko. ![]() Xenoplague is for players who like to create swarms and add or bolster bio-weaponry (which is, quite frankly, already powerful on its own). It's a bad choice when playing AS amazon or Kir'ko however.Ĭelestian has interesting synergies in itself and with certain environmental hazards (enlightened and soulburn in particular), but I didn't try that one out that much yet. Good if you face amazons, Kir'ko or users of xenoplague. Promethean is nice if you are fighting heavy users of bio-weapons and/or in areas with a lot of fire- or bio-hazards. Some of the later upgrades are great as well, but you can get some of that stuff from the paragon NPC-faction as well. Voidtech for example is kinda cool for vanguard because the Echo-Walker fills a gap in unit-variety quite nicely. ![]() The "best" experimental tech depends more on your playstyle and what you are currently fighting. Prom also gives powerful defensive options, which are rather situational however. Originally posted by DarkFoori:Prom: pure damage ![]()
