by chademe I've played it as a 2 player game and I think the expansion adds a lot. We used all the new technologies and added the the ancient homeworlds for the other 4 player positions and it was fun.

by brokasaphasia The Ancient Homeworlds, the Galactic Center Aliens, and the missile counter techs definitely make this a better 2-player experience.

by dlhammond I don't think ancient homeworlds go in the stack of II's. They just replace where a player homeworld would go.

by rayffis I've played five 2-player Eclipses and those were OK but I prefer other games if there is only two players (Troyes, Castles of burgundy, RFTG ...).
