It only really sucks regarding food. The gems are awesome.

[Aqizzar]

The main issue is there's no energy, and not a lot of bonuses for metal or food.  Or even trace for that matter.  Basically it's got a bunch of gems and some exotics and I guess you're supposed to buy everything else you need but that's kind of a pain in the ass, especially if the League doesn't happen to visit for a while.

I mean, Aragon has a rebel-controlled Well with four energy tiles next to it, more energy elsewhere, a crapload of metal and food, and native gems to boot.  Istakh and Severus and Kish are pretty much the same in variance.  Delphi just has a lot more gems.

What a shitty year.

But... but ice!
Oh, lovely, fluffy ice. All we've got is generic mcgeneric grasslands, and gently rolling hills. It's a fucking Shire.

The funny part is, on most types of worlds, if you sink a Well into a ice sheet, it'll produce one Energy per tile.  But not on frozen worlds, where Wells produce nothing from ice.  I guess the ice is just too goddamn thick to drill through or something.

The whole drilling for fossil fuels on alien worlds concept in general is dodgy.  Why would there be oil on a place that has at most a couple thousand years of life?

[Aqizzar]

How in the heck do you get that they have only a couple thousand years of life?  If they have life comparable to Earth now, which being a space opera setting they all do, then they would have had to pass hundreds of millions of years of evolution to get there.  Every world in the game has vegetation after all, and that's where fossil fuels come from.

[mainiac]

I thought the vegetation came from earth?  I really don't know the lore...

[Aqizzar]

I don't know the lore of this game from anywhere but this game.  I just figured being a space opera setting, that people went out into the galaxy and found a bunch of planets with roughly the same kind of life as Earth.  A few of the tech-archives mention alien whales and jungles and stuff, so I figure everything is native to wherever it is.

I also thought of the planets in EoFS as simply colonised, not terraformed. Don't know much about the lore though.

[Kebooo]

Well they discovered alien races (in lore) that are beyond just the Vau/Symbiots, along with alien vegetation. Not sure about whether there was any terraforming anywhere or not.

[mainiac]

I poked around the wiki looking for mentions of terraforming, I saw that terraforming broke down on one planet (but that doesn't mean it didn't have alien life before terraforming) and mention of a religious cult that was preserving knowledge of terraforming.  So I think it existed but wasn't the exception, not the rule.
