Stellaris - Paradox new sci-fi grand strategy game

[GarfunkeL]

Is the combat still a fucking mess? I haven't touched this since 1.01

That's going to be an awesome laptop: Intel i9 10.3GHz decacore, 256GB RAM, nVidia 3080, 30TB SSD, Holographic 4K screen.

10.3 GHz? Don't you know Moores Law is dead now?

Moores Law merely dictates that the transitors get smaller, it doesn't say jack shit about clock speed.

So we'll go back to room-sized PCs again? Awesome! Always wanted to live on a spaceship!

I can see the future. Five years from now, I'll make a single post on a message board somewhere asking whether they've finished making DLC for Stellaris yet. The answer will be no, and I'll go away again.

I get all of your complaints people... but for some reason this game has provided me the most entertainment the last months than anything else. God damn Paradox

 

[Anthedon]

That's the problem with the Paradox Grand Strategy games. No one would care about the DLC mess if the games were total shit

 

[Space Satan]

I expect Death Camp DLC in the future and will totally buy it

Hopefully you can research improved cooking methods to make them even more delicious.

For the base game? Or a mod?

base game. It's next patch notes

There's already a mod that adds lots of government and ethics types with additional AI changes. Won't play without it.

this expansion is going to break most of my favourite mods =_= let's hope for the good.

Those seem to give a lot of bonuses.

 

[Average Manatee]

Stellaris could use more bonuses. In MOO you can design a race that completely ignores food. In Stellaris you can get a +20% bonus. Much wow.

Though on the other hand Paradox games in general often have the problem of too many individual bonuses that stack to make things OP (like free units or instantly researching techs), which is what those policies look like.

Something tells me that Stellaris will gain Codex popularity

 

[Average Manatee]

Didn't really like Xenophobe's complete lack of diplomacy before, but at least +33% fire rate is a huge bonus that justifies it. And depending on how important Unity turns out to be it might be even more powerful with regards to rushing enemies early.

What's that ethic in the center of the circle? Some kind of option to not take an ethic and get more points elsewhere?

From what I've seen in their forums it's probably a sort of "Hive Mind" ethic. Dunno if there are details about it out yet though

ABSOLUTELY HERESY!

The purifiers in the game right now are not really up to task. They can only take planets after a peace deal and "purify" them then. that doesn't exactly make them scary for a player who will just beat them by attrition if their fleet aint stronger. I suppose this "armageddon" bombardment remedy that.

Would you like to know more?

Maybe that's what "cannot engage in diplomacy" does, so you don't engage in any diplomacy, you just always exist in a state of Total War with everyone you see, like the Unbidden or the Swarm, and any planet you take becomes instantly yours and everyone is purged.
