Lautapelit.fi Eclipse: 2nd Dawn for the Galaxy

Product Information

A fairly simple initiative system means fast, light, but well armed ships get their shots in first and unless you have a well armoured fleet, you could be down by half your force before you even get to roll dice. Building allows you to spend you generated build points to construct new ships or structures on the board. much effort has been employed by all major spacefaring species to prevent the terrifying events from repeating themselves.

At two players, Eclipse plays like a marvellous, excessive economic face off with both players more or less doing their own thing. Taking a closer look at the components here, you have different colored everything for each player that translates to plastic cubes, discs and ships. Dedicated pages for each action, sections that explain what each tech, discovery and ship part tiles do WITH PICTURES. They have provided plenty of impetus to spend time upgrading our ships, and have also been the source of amazing triumphs when they’re eventually destroyed. Colonising a sector also involves placing one of your influence discs on it, contributing to how expensive your civilisation will be.Of course you will need to spend an amount of knowledge that you generated from your tech track so you won’t have access to everything available at the start.

So in some cases you will need to build up a decent military just to pave the way to deeper regions of space. But, thanks to lockdown restrictions, I’ve found it to be a quite brilliant two player economic game. If it’s unoccupied, you can place cubes on any planets there to colonise them, which usually means more resources for you at the end of the round.Battles are a combination of tech and dice rolls and will be played out against AI and the other players. Whereas TI4 has a pre-defined tech tree, Eclipse offers a significantly more granular experience with players fine-tuning their ship blueprints to optimize speed, strength and/or resilience in combat as well as a multitude of of infrastructure advances. On your turn you can take one of the 6 actions and each one can be taken multiple times over the course of the round if you want. Instead, your civilisation generates materials, science and money at the end as dictated by the value you’ve uncovered on each resource track. Is there anywhere else I can pick this up or is anyone aware of an issue with the site that would cause this?
