>>336466838
Mate, you're the ones making ignorant and stupid comments, 4X are not grand strat, paradox grand strat aren't all the same
>>336466273
Parts of the game:
1.Gather as many land as possible untill there no free systems anymore
2.Make alliance or even federations with AI players or just genocide them or do something else, viki2 style with more diplomatic options
3.End game crises, enjoy your empire being fucked by one(or few) of the deep space horrors
>>336466690
yea, grand strategy and 4X sounds as a good combo
>>336466970
>3.End game crises, enjoy your empire being fucked by one(or few) of the deep space horrors
The one thing I've always missed in space 4x/grand strat games, space horrors/leviathans.

No. Autists will never be satisfied since as soon as a space game adds X they move on to whine about Y not being in the game. But this game will have wicked total conversion mods unlike the rest.

How's the micromanagement in this?
Paradox's games are the only empire management games I can play because they're the only ones that don't involve babysitting every single city and unit.
>>336467868
How much do you like to paint maps?
>>336467805
Well that's just the nature of the fanbase. Look at EU4. People complained that it lacked the amount of features and mechanics of EU3, and now that the game has much more than EU3, people are saying it has too many and the game is bloated.

>>336469085
The main focus of grand strat is empire management, a lot more micromanagement compared to a normal 4x
>>336469293
I used to do it when I played minecraft
>>336463240
I have no hopes for this game, paradox showed how fucking retarded and greedy they really are with EU4.
>We must guard ourselves against the alien elements that would disrupt our society, the influences that would debase our genetic and cultural heritage. The Other is to be held at arm's length, and that arm is to hold a sword.

>>336469327
>a lot more micromanagement compared to a normal 4x
It's the other way around. 4X games have way more micromanagement. GSs are more about management on a higher level.

GS have to be in a real historical context.
Stellaris isn't a GS
What FTL do you plan to use?
>Warp: The Star Trek type. Ships equipped with a warp drive create a subspace "bubble" around the ship. These drives are very expensive and cause a major drain on a ships' available power. On the plus side they allow free movement across empty space, at the expense of being the slowest of the three FTL types and the ship having to be at the edge of a solar system before it can use the drive. However, it is the one drive with the least challenging learning curve so it is default choice for new players.
>Hyperspace: The more standard 4X method. Ships that have a hyperdrive can use hyperspace lanes for quick and inexpensive travel between systems. However, since your ships are limited to predetermined paths it lacks the freedom of navigation warp drives offer as your ships might have to make three or four separate jumps to reach a system right next door. The hyperdrive also has a long warm up time before usage, but unlike the warp drive it can be used at any point in a solar system.
>Wormhole: The Mass Effect method. Empires with access to wormhole technology first have to build a wormhole station that resides at the outer edges of a star system. This station creates a temporary but direct connection between two systems. Ships that use wormhole stations experience instant travel between star systems and, as a plus, don't need to be equipped with any modules whatsoever. However, of the initial three it is the most infrastructure intensive and the one most vulnerable to enemy attacks.
>Jump: The Warhammer 40,000 method, and the one you have to research or get from a Fallen Empire. The ship shifts into an alternate dimension where the speed of light is much faster, and exits at the desired point. The fastest of all the FTL types (20 times faster than conventional) but also carries the risk of accidentally tearing a portal to the universe where the Unbidden live and triggering a Crisis due to their invasion.
>>336469393
No it's not, no 4X even comes close to the micromanagement of HOI3
>>336469404
Don't make me wish for things i cannot have.
>>336469085
I always just viewed GS as the more in depth version of 4X
>>336469248
You can choose the factions you want to play against or let the computer choose. So, just make 10 different flavours of humans, and put only those in the game. Set fallen empires to 0 because otherwise you will still have aliens.
>>336469248
Yes, you can.
>>336469592
What do you micromanage in HoI3?
In a game like Civ you have to keep track of every single city and unit every turn. If that's not micromanagement I don't know what is.
>>336469712
You micromanage your units, which are at the battalion level.
>>336469410
If you play Humans stellaris HAS a historical context (albeit a very shallow one) and where did you pull that information from? Who defined grand strategy that way
>>336469548
How can Jump be faster than Wormhole, if wormhole stations create a direct connection between two points in space, while Jump still requires you to travel at only 20 times the speed of light?
>>336469404
They already made that game, go play it instead.
>>336469809
No, they are at Brigade and Division level numbnuts.
>>336469712
Army management controlling hundreds if not thousands of units, multiple tech management, resource trading and management, province building management of which you'll have about 100 times more than you will in Civ.
>>336469809
And that's the only thing.
Every other decision is at the highest level. You never have to keep track of what's happening in every province.
>>336463240
CAN
NOT
WAIT
>>336469841
Because you need to travel before and after using wormhole, and it's slow as fuck
>>336469928
There are more than 100 times the amount of provinces you control in HOI3 compared to a 4X
>>336469623
Is this Star Control? When is Star Control?
>>336463240
I kind of wish instead of having preset dispositions/government types for each race you could mold them into them through the choices you make as you play.
>>336469548
You fucked up bro, Warp and Jump are the same thing.
>>336470174
Your pops will diverge in ethics compared to your main government type. You're also able to splice DNA with a tech unlocked in the game that lets you change your physical features as well.
>>336469925
I have not played HoI3, but CK2, EU4 and V2 most definitely don't have micromanagement.
In none of those games do you have to babysit anything. The only thing that comes close is moving your units around during war. Everything else is either automatic or doesn't require your constant attention.
>>336470174
That shit is supposed to change while playing, in the twitch stream the devs have going some of there population turned from militarist xenophiles into just militarists.
They said they could make those guys the dominant faction in the empire but because of RP reasons they wouldn't do it.

>>336471608
I don't get this. You get more content for free. And it usually adds more depth. The only change I didn't like was shattered retreat in CK2 which I disabled with a mod. And while I don't hate it, I think corruption was pointless in EU4 as it doesn't seem to do anything but give me bonuses for having it low because it seems impossible to raise it.

Prussia was dominated by two Protestant confessions. Lutherans made up the majority, and there were some Reformed minorities in the central and western part of the state. In 1613, John Sigismund, Elector of Brandenburg and Grand Duke of Prussia, declared himself for the Reformed creed and transferred the cathedral in Berlin from the Lutheran to the Reformed church. Lutherans and Reformed were merged after 1817 by the Prussian Union of churches, which came under tight royal control.[13] In Protestant regions, writes Nipperdey:
Much of religious life was often conventional and superficial by any normal, human standard. The state and the bureaucracy kept their distance, preferring to spoon-feed the churches and treat them like children. They saw the churches as channels for education, as a means of instilling morality and obedience, or for propagating useful things, just like bee-keeping or potato-farming.[14]
After 1814, Prussia contained millions of Roman Catholics in the west and in Poland. East Prussia's southern region of Masuria was mostly made up of Germanised Lutheran Masurians. There were numerous Roman Catholic populations in the Rhineland and parts of Westphalia. West Prussia and the Province of Posen had predominantly Roman Catholic Polish-speaking populations.[15]

Better happiness.
I think they should have called it cultural rather than spiritual, it implies your species is more focused on the arts rather than the sciences.

Good one.
Higher citizen obedience.

Spiritualists get to do the whole dune spice psionic thing I think.

Fanatic Materialist
Although it hurts, we must grow up and put aside our outdated notions of morality. There is no 'divine spark' granting special value to a living mind. No object has any intrinsic value apart from what we choose to grant it. Let us embrace the freedom of certitude, and achieve maximum efficiency in all things.
Fanatic Spiritualist
Our science has proved that consciousness begets reality. We regard with patience the childlike efforts of those who delude themselves as they play with their blocks of 'hard matter'.
>>336475256
My dick.
Spiritualists are fucking zealot rednecks and should be shunned. Literally niggers and women.
>>336475256
That doesn't really make sense.
Why would science not be able to discover psionics? Unless it's actually spiritual, in which case everyone would be spiritual.
>>336475213
Note that it's individual pop-happiness, no empire-wide arbitrary number like in Civ V.

They tipped the fedora too hard
>>336467272
The devs kind of explained it like a mix of the two. Each empire starts with the same amount of stuff (one star with their homeworld) and has to expand. So the beginning plays like a 4X game with everyone trying to expand and shit then late game it plays more like a grand strategy trying to form alliances/genocide bitches and deal with your own government
>>336475640
if you are materialists your scientist can actually become psionic, not you're whole race though or something.
If I recall correctly...

Sure as soon as a fucking Torrent drops.
They scorched my ass on SOTS 2
Not again motherfuckers.
>>336467436
The game starts off as a 4X, everyone starts off with the same sized empire and has to expand. Later on it becomes more about politics and war like your regular paradox game.

What's the point of materialist and spiritualist if the fanatic version of both are objectively better?
>>336476054
That was Kerberos. They don't make big games like taht at the moment becuase of that incident making paradox drop them like a ton of bricks.
>>336475884
You can have AI's with an advanced start though, you also have fallen empires, which are allready very big and really powerfull at the games start. But they are pretty self centered and don't do much if you leave them and their interests alone. Spiritualist empires will protect 'holy worlds' others want to protect the universe from robots and attack people if they research dangerous late-game AI tech
>>336476136
They also cost 2 of your 3 points.

People are saying this will probably be one of Paradox's easiest games to get into. It starts off like a 4X (So everyone controls one star and their homeworld) and you expand from that. So you can focus on one thing and as you get the hang of it your empire is getting larger. (instead of games that just through you in and you have like 20 cities to manage right from the get go)
>>336475952
hey, reddit. you lot adore starship memesters, the donald, the memeperium of meme.

>>336476136
You can either be one fanatic type, or two different regular ones, I think.

>>336476448
no, fanatic is 2 points, regular 1 and you have 3. So you can be either 1 fanatic and 1 normal, or 3 normal.

>People are saying this will probably be one of Paradox's easiest games to get into.
And thank fuck for that. Now I'm not opposed to a large'ish learning curve but even CK2, that's touted as one of the easier ones, overwhelmed me hard. At least there's a chance I can enjoy this one.
>>336476372
Reddit loves the flick for "le satirical nazis xDD" but they would be triggered by the book. Redditors are bluepilled, and the most bluepilled idea of all is democracy. Democracy is fraud.
>>336476532
It's 90% the UI really. If the UI was better at letting you know shit then it'd be a lot easier and they are getting better at that.
>>336474718
Yup, literally Descartes' Cogito Ergo Sum.
>>336469404
I see this series posted a lot, is it actually good or just a good source of reaction images? Need something new to watch and it's either this or binging all the Macross shows
>>336473773
But i want to play as the robo revolt
>>336476572
Do you have any idea how big reddit is? reddit is literally everything at this point. There's more pol on reddit than on pol just becuase of how fucking big it is.
>>336476532
CKII can be hard to get into with all the expansions.
Try playing it with none of them enabled, and once you're learned the base game enable them.
>>336469548
>>336469548
Warp
The idea of any other type of FTL travel seems fucking amateur hour at best.
And I'm of the belief that if Humanity intends to survive the next three centuries we're going to need to figure that shit out.
Either come up with an AM Reactor for power generation, or find a more elegant solution with the same intrinsically efficient outcome.
>>336476532
Try EU4. CK2 is quite complex as far as strategy games go and I don't know why people recommend it for beginners, but EU4 is really simple and basically Total War without real time battles.
>>336476483
it has denuvo senpai
>>336476687
There is a government type AI overlordship, so maybe.
>>336476709
We could power earth indefinitely with SPS if we really wanted to. Barring that expensive project, Thorium would last around 700 years.
>>336476643
It's good. Being a source of reaction images is a bonus.
>>336476532
You are the cancer killing GSG.
>>336476687
If you save the game and load it you can select a different nation in all paradox games, they allready said this is also possible in stellaris, the question is though if the robots/fallen empires, and other end game disasters count.
>>336476709
You can actually limit FTL travel to one type in your game.
>mfw i found ck2 easier than eu4
>>336476836
gsg is the cancer killing gsg.
At least people are finally calling out hte liquor and beurocrat pros.
>>336476709
Warp is a drain on ships that don't need it. Warp for scouts and raiders/shockships only. Putting warp on warships is a waste.
>>336476804
>implying
It's supposed to be highly moddable and that's not possible with Denuvo. Plus Paradox prob don't care if people pirate their games, their core audience buys them anyway.
>>336476643
If you want a series with good politics and interesting characters and ideologies then it's good. It can be pretty damn slow sometimes.

Fuck off back to r/paracuxplaza you filthy subhuman. You cunts are so utterly cancerous you turned what could be a good GSG to a casual 4XG. Off yourself you normie cretin.
