==Gameplay==
''Endless Space'' is a [[turn-based strategy]] game set in 3000 AD, where each player (up to a maximum of eight per game) represents the leader of one of nine unique interstellar empires.<ref>{{cite web|last=Young|first=Rory|title=Endless Space launch trailer prompts you to exterminate all resistance|url=http://www.neoseeker.com/news/19753-endless-space-launch-trailer-prompts-you-to-exterminate-all-resistance/|publisher=Neoseeker|accessdate=5 July 2012}}</ref> A player may also choose to create their own unique civilization by selecting from a number of different traits that correspond to military, science, diplomacy, hero units and so on. Each player is to guide their empire over hundreds, if not thousands, of years to diplomatic, scientific, or military conquest, attempting to meet requirements for several different victory conditions.<ref name="IGNp1"/> The game takes place in a randomly generated [[galaxy]], which can change in size and shape, depending on how the host player chooses to generate it. Every player begins with one colonised capital system which is connected to further systems via [[worm hole|cosmic links]], which act as travel routes for [[starship]]s. Players can also research new technologies from four different research trees, representing military, science, expansion/exploration and diplomacy. Research unlocks new ship types, planetary improvements, stat modifiers (either for heroes or planets), new travel methods which do not rely on cosmic links and more. As players expand their empire, they will gain access to strategic and luxury resources, which can be used to upgrade ships, build improvements and trade with other players. Strategic resources are primarily used to upgrade components of your empire, while luxury resources are primarily used for trade and maintaining your empire's approval rating.
 
The game uses four basic resources to manage its economy: foodFood, industryIndustry, dustDust and scienceScience, or FIDS. Dust is a substance that was leftoverleft over from anthe extremelyEndless powerfulcivilization, ancient, [[extinct]] civilization only knownused as the Endlesscurrency. Players must balance FIDS in order to rapidly expand their empire, build ships and research advanced technologies. In addition, a lower or imbalanced FIDS across your empire results in a low approval rating.<ref name="IGNp1"/> A high approval rating provides bonuses to production efficiency, while a low approval rating can drastically lower efficiency making it incredibly difficult to advance. A tax rate slider can also be adjusted to change approval rating, but lower taxes result in a lower revenue stream of Dust.
 
Hero units can be recruited using the game's currency, Dust, to act as either fleet [[admiral|commanders]] or system administrators. Each hero unit is unique and provides two unique bonuses, which can be further leveled up. Three hero units are randomly selected from a pool unique to each empire and new hero units are available for purchase every fifty turns.
 
Interstellar fleet battles take place in a quasi-real-time environment, similar to a complex game of [[Rockrock-paper-scissors]]. Each battle scene takes place in three engagement stages: long-range, medium-range, and melee-range engagements, with different types of weapons and ship systems performing better or worse as the fleets increase in physical proximity over time. Fleets are issued up to three different 'cards', one for each stage of combat, which represent fleet-wide general orders, from categories such as attack, defend, tactics, sabotage, and engineering. Each card has a certain function, such as increasing the fleet's weapons damage by a certain amount (an 'attack' card), however some cards can counter opposing cards, as in the case of an 'attack' card played against an enemy's 'tactics' card during long-range engagement, where the attack card gives a straight damage improvement while the tactics card provides a damage improvement but weakens the fleet's defences correspondingly - the attack card's increased damage counters the tactics card's weakened defences, and the attacking fleet thus gains a sizable additional bonus to damage during long-range engagement. No traditional combat micromanagement takes place during these battles, though the player instead is engaged in terms of understanding fleet composition and attempting to predict and counter likely 'card' plays by the enemy fleet based on how the engagement has unfolded so far. More advanced or specialised cards may also be unlocked through research or through advanced training available to experienced commanders. Fleet size and composition play a very important role, such as determining combat effectiveness (when, per se, the attack card is played) and ability to maneuver. Fleets with hero units assigned to them may also experience bonuses. During battles, the camera is traditionallyby default placed in a [[cinematic techniques|cinematic]] mode, but a free camera mode is also available.<ref name="IGNp1"/>▼

===Victory conditions===
A player wins the game when they reach the requirements<ref>{{cite web|title=Endless Space User Manual|url=http://cdn.steampowered.com/Manuals/208140/Endless%20Space%20User%20Manual%20Alpha.pdf|publisher=Amplitude Studios|accessdate=5 July 2012}}</ref> for a number of victory conditions, listed below:
*'''Expansion''': conquer 75% or more of the colonized universe
*'''Scientific''': the first player to research the Pan-Galactic Society, the last technology of the Science tree, wins the game. That particular technological wonder is very hard to get, and reaching the ends of the other technology trees will make it easier to finish.
*'''Economic''': the first player to reach a certain level of cumulative revenue (Dust) wins. Only overall revenue matters, so it does not matter if you spent it all.
*'''Diplomatic''': if you manage to survive long enough while being at war the least amount of time, you may be able to impose yourself and win thanks to your wisdom and integrity.
*'''Supremacy''': the first player to own all the original players’ homeworlds will win.
*'''Wonder''': the first player to build five "Endless wonder" structures will win.
*'''Score''': if no one managed to win with one of the previous victory conditions, the player with the highest score wins when the turn limit is reached.
