Any place to check all faction benefits?

Post by Fabioman3 »

I get lost very easily in giant 4X research trees and i dont believe it says anywhere what technologies are exclusive to a single faction (Or to only a few factions), and i would like to research those, if only for the novelty and roleplay of relying on a faction's specialty

Also, it seems there are many faction benefits and unique behaviors that are not really listed in easy to find places and you mostly learn through trial and error or experimenting

The faction selection screen only shows 2 benefits to any faction, but it seems most of them have much more than that making them unique, so i was wondering if anyone has a list or guide of how each faction works? I am surprised this game doesnt have a wiki, its certainly in-depth enough to warrant one

Honestly, SiS factions' benefits mostly end in those listed on faction selection screen. It's just not readily visible implications of the benefits that make factions play styles more or less unique. Anyway, 2-3 playthroughs for every faction will make you quite familiar with all the implications.

I settled for screenshotting the research trees and then comparing them, and also checking stuff people said here or in the steam forums

Made some nice discoveries, such as the Orthin's special capacitors (I would totally have missed one of those since it doesnt have a unique spot in the research tree, its bundled with the quantum generator)

There are also certain racial traits that arent really listed, such as Gremak's lack of empathy that makes them okay with you abusing other races as long as you dont abuse THEIR race or Phidi having better trade routes and a big positive modifier on first impressions with other empires
