>>336934908
If I want to play as Fungoid 10, what ethos and traits would you suggest to fit them?
>>336935362
That's race selection, not leader selection. Leaders are impermanent anyway. This isn't Civ.
So is there any truth to the lag thing? I didn't see any in the multiplayer game until there was the massive zooming on the final battle. He lowered game speed and it got better.
I have slightly better than recommended specs.
>>336935414
Materialistic? Not exactly a federation trait, but the continuum provides.
>>336934908

If you hover materialist you can almost read the flavor text in Sir Patrick's voice.
I figure a little materialism is a pretty human quality that pushes us as much as our pursuit for knowledge. Or enables us.
>>336935795

>>336935624
Materialistic is as much about the absence of religion as it as about purchasing things in Stellaris.
>>336935624
Materialism in Stellaris is the pursuit of Science.
It is materialism as opposed to spiritualism. Shitty name, but the Fed are as materialist as it gets.
>>336936023
You don't know what projecting means huh?

Symmetrical starts so it's going to be more about what are the "best" traits. I think it's a reason weapons are rock-paper-scissors and science research is semi-random.

Why can't they do a midnight release like everybody else?
Fucking sweds man
Would this game be recommended to someone who hasn't played a space sim since Masters of Orion 2? And how does it compare?
>>336934908
So, did I misunderstand something or having a physically strong race makes your vassals/slaves more docile?

#DevsNeedSleepTo
has denuvo been confirmed or denied yet
>>336937704
The last two are easily modded in. Synthetics will almost certainly be a DLC though.
>>336937180
http://stellarisspeciesgen.com/
How long do you think they will take in make a pirate version?
2 days?
Maybe 3?
One thing is clear, im not going to pay 40$ to latter be bombarded with DLCs by those snowniggers
Where my nomadic science bros at?Ignore generic backstory
>>336937704
I feel that to properly do playable AI justice you'd need a major content DLC with unique mechanics, trying to play as an AI "species" right now would feel just as wrong as trying to play muslims in vanilla crusader kings
>>336937773
Sleep to noon apparently
goddamn socialists
>>336937818
It's your average steam DRM, no denuvo.
>>336937902
>repugnant
Wat.
>>336937704
Actually if the AI revolts, they create their own empire which has their own modifiers and such. You will probably be able to switch to them via the console, the same way you switch to other nations in EU4.
Shame about the no apes though.
>>336937861
In 2~3 hours after release at most
Can I make something like tyranids and consume/assimilate enemy planets?
I wonder, are there any galaxy scale events like say supernovas that affect a lot of planets of different species?
>>336937220
>Fungoid:12
You mean the giant rigid space penises?
>>336938128
It'll probably be an eventual expansion DLC.
>>336937704
>No Synthetic/Robot/AI races
They would play too differently from organic races, and there no reason to make 1 race with totally different gameplay and 40 others with same
Apes in top left corner, you can even make race of black only humans if you into it
>>336937704
>No generic "greys"
What?
Also there are robots, it's just that they're too powerful to start as. Just cause an AI uprising and then switch to the rebel faction.
>>336938153
There are large scale catastophes that can happen, not sure about natural disasters like that though. Might be cool if implemented properly.
Is there a torrent? I want to buy it but want to make sure it's not absolutely garbage first.
>>336938034
>mfw disgusting humans who don't know how disgusting they are
>>336937704
I said the same thing. The solution is:
Research synths/robots, use them to colonize a planet, and then release the planet to be its own entity. Then save/reload and play as that civilization
It's not a midnight launch right?
>>336937704
>No raptors
>No bug races
>>336938083
thing is though those robots are most decidedly not balanced for play given they're supposed to be a threat to a lategame universe by themselves
>>336938128
there's a species like that but they're an endgame event because consuming planets is way out of the tech scale presented at the start
>>336937220
Literally all wrong
>>336937704
Robots are confirmed in the game. You can't pick them at start but you can let some robots colonize a planet and then cede it/reload to play as the robot empire if you want.
>>336938381
There's an entire bug phenotype, what are you talking about?
>>336938326
>it's not absolutely garbage
but it is.
It's parajew we're talking about anon come on.
>>336938357
It makes sense. Robots need to be created by another race in the first place.
So they can't exactly start when everyone else does.
>>336938381
>No bug races
What? Are you retarded?
>>336938384
They're a threat to lategame universe because assumedly all the empires are using a robot workforce by this point and then all of a sudden they all join under the same banner at the same time.
I don't think a small colony of robots starting from scratch would enjoy the same advantages.
>>336938034
You know a natural human defense is to stink/be unappetizing, right
Like we totally smell awful in the context of nature
>>336938381
Raptors are under Avian, not Reptilian.
Is there stuff like organic spaceships and organic evolution instead of tech research?
>>336938343
More disgusting than the floaty things with their heads where their asses should be and gas spewing out of the top holes 24/7?
>>336938641
There are organic spaceships called space amobaes that if you destroy and then reverse research their debris a lot, you will be able to make your own.
>>336938308
proper implementation of a supernova could be pretty neat for a galactic flavor event given that it would be a major occurrence that would last 40 to even 100 (ingame) years with first the star going unstable giving particularly daring scientists the opportunity for some high risk/reward R&D, and once it blows up the photon "blastwave" is gonna move at lightspeed so its gonna take several years to reach planets within the danger zone giving you time to evacuate or even with high science try to tank it and with more balls even place some form of research station right in the path
>>336938565
Nnnno not particularly, I think our stink is more a byproduct. I'd say Skunks have the genuine thing as a defense mechanism.
Besides, humans wash themselves unless we're talking basement dwellers and those the aliens do not meet
>>336938553
they have been confirmed as being vastly more efficient than anything an organic species ever could do so I'd say a single colony of them, with sufficient resources, would be a possible threat on the level of fallen civ waking up with other robot uprisings turning it from regional issue to galactic issue
>>336938905
Humans washing themselves is an extremely recent development as far as evolutionary timescales go. I'm sure he is referring to unwashed human stench.
I hope the AI isn't fucked like in Civ V
>>336938384
Maybe?
>Not wanting to nuke some Skinnies
>Not wanting to flame some Bugs
>Not wanting to skate around 300 miles of terrain in power armor
It's like you don't want to have fun.
>>336939040
unwashed humans aren't all that nasty compared to other large mammals
>>336938650
I mean they think you're weird because your face ISNT on the bottom. It's all perspective and what you're used to.
>>336939040
Yeah but we're talking about current humanity (or if i'm anal about it even more we're talking about future humanity) so that stink isn't a factor. We even have all kinds of products just to make ourselves more attractive/appealing in smell and looks, that goes by human standards of course but it means we put the effort in
Is there a reason behind the 4-point starter traits? To get them you will always have a trait pick left over but no more points.
>>336939248
Well compared to the other races out there they are still the most uncommon ones out there, even the other fungoids have their head/crown area's on the top
>>336938835
Fuck this game sounds awesome.
Can't wait to pirate
>>336939347
Yes, people who don't suffer from OCD are capable of having unfilled slots.
>>336939347
So you only have to take 2 bad traits instead of 3 I guess
>>336936679
I like salt on my french fries
>>336939164
why strong? humans aren't that strong.
I'm hype but every stellaris thread on /v/ is new retards asking dumb questions and faggots asking people to "sell me the game". Way to go gaylords take this moment to reflect upon your stupidity
>>336939347
Sadly I don't think them worth it. I'd like to take the venerable one but it means that will be your only positive trait you're able to take because you're only able to spend that last slot on a negative which you generally wouldn't do for obvious reasons.
I wish it was 3 points in cost, that one, or at least have another slot available
>>336939305
And there's also the fact that we can't really predict what we'll smell like to aliens given its likely to be completely different from our own, unlike sight which at worst will be located within the near IR/UV band at worst
that said something I could see alien species be grossed out about is the mammal process of lactation. Sure most of us are instinctively programmed to find it completely okay but to a species that doesn't have a concept anything like it, its gotta be fucking nasty yo.
>>336939552
Compared to most other spacefaring races humans are actually very strong
>>336939164
>>336939552
its book starship troopers. humans aren't strong but their power armor sure is, especially when it launches atomic bombs and can jet around at several hundred miles per hour.
>>336937841
Cheers!
>>336939552
Maybe we are, compared to the other alien races that reach the same height. We're probably a lot stronger than those noodle armed fungoids
Do beneficial traits have unique technologies associated with them as well?
>>336939347
I'm not certain, but I know when you research genetic techs some give you +1 trait points, so I think any leftover from the beginning will carry into your game allowing you to pick a 2 point trait sooner
>>336939763
So make them weak and give your ground troops power armor.
>>336938553
They get thing like +50% production, -50% upkeep, -50% production cost, etc as a race trait.
>>336939164
Came here to post this. Though I'd start as a military republic first (it has the whole civilian/citizen distinction) and then transition to a stratocracy during the game.
>>336939552
we can't really know that do we, we have no alien lifeforms to compare ours to
could be earth's gravity is pretty high compared to most of the other sapient species' planets and the mammalian skeletal structure is a lot more solid than usual
though in that situation we'd likely be one of the shortest sapient species as well so take it as you want
>>336939679
It's a pretty common process though in nature, assuming of course animals might develop along similar routes on similar planets out there.
At least the parents feeding young part is a common thing
Can government style change (say, from military junta to despotic empire) over the course of the game, and do you have any influence in how it changes?
>>336940030
yes
Probably gonna try to have the robot Armageddon on my first playthru as the indian empire. Hopefully there will be a spectator view so I can see what will happen after I die
>>336935074
how do you get the background like that? Mine just has tons of overlap.
>>336939978
>humans are the manlets of space
Fuck.
Can you tech from one of the starting 3 warp techs into another eventually, and start using different kinds of FTL drives on different types of ships?
>>336939985
parents feeding young is common, parents feeding young with their own body fluids? not so much
after all birds feeding their young by puking in their mouths is fairly gross to us as well, and at least birds and mammals evolved on the same planet
also an egg-laying external fertilization alien species could easily consider our sex and subsequent pregnancy to be abhorrent
>>336940030
It can change whenever you want to whatever your ethics allow. There will probably be factions that demand government changes.
>>336939920
Tried that but collectivist disables military republic.
>>336939552
What >>336939763 said.
>>336939906
Also an option!
>>336940030
Pops will change ideologies over the course, it's entirely possible to lose against a say, hippie rebellion, and become a republic
>>336940030
You can change rather haphazardly if you got the tech for it.
>>336940030
Every 20 years you can spendmanato change it.

>>336940231
So you don't lose the game if you lose to a rebellion?
>>336940213
Hah I can see them definitely thinking our pregnancy abhorrent. It's not very effective and quite the painfull and even disgusting process even to many of our own kind, I mean especially if you know what can happen during birth
This game cracked yet? Wouldn't mind pirating it to see if I like it.
>>336940365
I want to do things to that blue haired giantess.
>>336940387
Why would you? you didn't lose the game if you lost to a rebellion in EU IV and Vick 2 either.
As long as your nation exists you can play the game.

>>336940387
If it's anything like EU, Vicky or CK, it depends entirely on what kind of rebellion. Some rebellions will influence stuff in your country, but you won't lose it. Other rebellions (independence factions, for instance) could make you lose the game if you end up with nothing left to rule.

Does this have actual combat, or just is it like Civ?
>>336940228
Replace collectivist with Xenophobe and you can do Military Republic and still be true to the source.
>>336941089
It doesn't have "actual" combat.
You can give some basic orders IIRC, like fight defensively or whatever, but that's it.
>>336940763
That would be a pretty sweet deal actually, provided the humans show some tact of course and are carefull about not looking THIS bad.
Nobody wants to mess with the guys that can rip your arm off with ease, yet are reasonable enough not to be counted as fucking viscious savages

>>336941089
You command the fleet as a whole and can see them fighting but I don't think you can command them individually like homeworld or sins of a solar empire.
And it's not really like Civ.

One of the more fun HFY stories is the one where humans are these biologically impossible monstrosities, born on a world so heavy with metal, surrounded by an ecosystem driven toxic by the need for constant adaptation to a hostile environment of infinite variation, and even breathing corrosive gas.
That it is some kind of cosmic joke that humans consider themselves weak, when a human could pretty much rip most of the other life in the galaxy apart with their bare hands, and even when killed their internal bacteria could wipe out most alien ecosystems.

Just because humans could be considered gross to other aliens, doesn't mean they are.
With that thinking, all alien life forms in the game have to be repugnant, because some life form will find them disgusting.

I think he meant nastiest for us. Like it's painful and it sucks and a lot of humans used to die in childbirth before modern medicine was a thing. Most other mammals don't have as difficult of a time of it.

Yes, she. As in, not a mentally ill person. I have several actual grills on my steam list, but only talk to her regularly.
Don't get why that's suddenly shocking.
