Less than 2 weeks before the long-awaited release of the wonderful 4X game Pandora: First Contact!

Youtuber Guilherme Furst made a very nice gameplay video featuring the beta version of the game. He talks about it, giving opinions, insights and his point of view about a game which ensures to strike the 4X strategy games market!

Thanks for featuring my video, Philkian. Hope you all enjoy it. Cheers!

I've never been much into Alpha Centauri, but always loved Civ-style games, regardless of background. This one in scifi setting looks really nice.

There's only one visual thing I didn't like in the vid: the infantry appears to be moving and fighting a bit too much in "line infantry" style. Maybe have less guys per unit who act with more variety, and in a more open formation - that would fit more to modern or even futuristic combat.

But that's only a minor issue of course, otherwise I'm really impressed, and thinking of getting this when it's out

I am beyond excited about this game.Ive been scouring the web for any content i could find since i first spotted it in the spring. To my great delight just got accepted into the BETA!
thanks so much guys, i have a calendar on my wall counting down to the release on the 14th but now ive got my grubby mitts on it early, sweeeeeeeet!

hi guys,
first impressions of the BETA.
Imperial, Medium world, Random shape, Med Aggressiveness, Standard Pace.

cinematography good standard and leads into game nicely. or use escape to exit, also good.
setting up new colony very Civ5 like.
Movement similarly Civ5
Research, cannot seem to set a chain of research, have to do an new research if you open up to the full chain.
custom worlds, good.

current bads after 15 Mins.. slow growth, slow moves and very brutal combat. You seem to either win or lose and are die, no small losses, standoffs etc, keeping you alive but open to another unit.

so far so good, will have a proper hour session later and expand on thoughts.

Where is the manual for the Beta?
