Stellaris - Paradox new sci-fi grand strategy game

and another game stopped midway because the patch broke all the mods.

and another game stopped midway because the patch broke all the mods.

Well. You can't really blame the devs for not checking a patch to work with all mods.
That would be an absurd amount of checking to do.

That said, I don't know how mods for that game have to be written. Maybe they screwed up the scripting system so that even minor changes break stuff.

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

i'm not blaming anyone. i'm actually thankful they're working on it.
but daaamn.

in all honesty, i haven't tried but most of if not all my mods should keep working with the new patch, but getting rid of the red triangle is always better.

Hello everyone and welcome to another Stellaris development diary. Today we'll be talking about a new feature coming in the 1.5 'Banks' update called Traditions and Unity. As before, I can't talk about when Banks will be coming out, only that it's a while away and we have quite a few dev diaries to go through before we get there

Traditions and Unity
One thing we have mentioned as a big priority for Stellaris is adding more empire customization and more ability to roleplay diverse empires. We have also talked about our desire to allow for the existance of 'tall' empires. Traditions and Unity is a feature that aims to tackle both these topics by adding 7 new Tradition trees and a resource called Unity that is used to unlock them. Unity is an accumulative resource that increases each month, and is primarily gained through the construction of government buildings such as monuments, mausoleums and temples. Unity is spent on adopting Tradition trees and purchasing individual Traditions. Each Tradition tree has a starter bonus, five unlockable bonuses and a finisher bonus that is gained once the entire tree is filled out.

The seven Tradition trees are as follows:
Expansion: Focuses on growth through rapid colonization.
Domination: Focuses on maintaining control over your population and subjects.
Prosperity: Focuses on economic growth.
Harmony: Focuses on maintaining a happy and diverse population.
Supremacy: Focuses on growth through military conquest.
Purity: Focuses on strength through homogenity and dominion over other species.
Exploration: Focuses on exploration and scientific discovery.

The cost of unlocking a Tradition depends on the size of your empire, as well as how internally stable it is. Unhappy factions, minority species and slaves all increase the cost of adoption Traditions further, though these effects can be offset or even canceled out entirely by adopting the right Traditions for the empire you intend to build. Overall, small harmonious empires will unlock Traditions more quickly than large, expansionistic ones. Which Traditions you unlock also has a significant impact on the ethics of your population, and so can be a useful tool to either strengthen your existing empire ethics or further a planned empire-wide shift towards a different set of ethics altogether.

You may have noticed a certain part of the Traditions screen that I have not yet mentioned in this dev diary. That's because it's actually the subject of the next dev diary! However, since the Christmas holidays are coming up, most of the Stellaris team will be away, so dev diaries will be on hiatus until January 12th. Tune back in then to find out all about the Ascension Perks and how you can use them to build the empire of your dreams.

Also, for those who can understand glorious liberators, some leaks about paths

[MadMaxHellfire]

i'm all for expandable content. that interface doesn't look much like that.

 

[Average Manatee]

What everyone was asking for, a mechanic to help bad tall players that anyone playing properly will hardly get to utilize.

 

[Quatlo]

It will only lead to stupid minmaxing where you go for something when you are still small, and after that click something in that tree every 5 hours when you finally farm enough pointzz.
Ugh.

 

[Corporate_Jew_Master]

wheres the midgame lah

 

[Gepeu]

People, I'm on an edge of buying Stellaris. Is it worth to get it for -33% discount? I can tell that two "content" dlc are not worth their price.

 

[Multiple Sarcasm]

Get at -100% discount, be disappointed, demand refund.

 

[Gepeu]

Are you promoting the pirate bay?

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

vanilla is a very barebone 4x. loaded with mods turn interesting, nothing groundbreaking but interesting. the expansions are where its true value is in. if you can wait, wait for another year or two. in the beginning eu4 and ck2 too were horrible.

 

[Brutan]

Are there any total conversions mods/massive mods that are worth playing? I always found Paradox games to be lacking but their mods are great.

[not an artichoke]

Alphamod adds a bunch of interesting crap.

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

alphamod and all of its parts are a must have. MUST HAVE. MUST. HAVE.
then you stuff the game with all the extra techs, weapons and whatever you fancy.

 

[Spectacle]

vanilla is a very barebone 4x. loaded with mods turn interesting, nothing groundbreaking but interesting. the expansions are where its true value is in. if you can wait, wait for another year or two. in the beginning eu4 and ck2 too were horrible.

CK2 was better at release than in its current state.

 

[Average Manatee]

Rajas was decline until they improved performance in Reapers. Only Way of Life really hurt CK2 IMO since foci were too abusable.

That said I don't think Stellaris has a good DLC roadmap planned out. Maybe it will work, maybe not. Same goes for HoI4.

 

[Grotesque]

People, I'm on an edge of buying Stellaris. Is it worth to get it for -33% discount? I can tell that two "content" dlc are not worth their price.

yes. it is a good game. buy it.

 

[Gepeu]

Are you promoting the steam store?

 

[Sranchammer]

This isn't going to get any better
