Complain how Paradox won't fucking FIX THE PRETHORYN BUG ALREADY
>>337416003
Lurking, I'd actually like to know what kind of empires and play styles people are going for, I feel like I'm overwhelmed with the things I can do in a single play through
>>337416003
Downloading the game now, im ready to be a space fascist
>trying to integrate xenos peacefully
>they keep bitching and go on strike
Integration was a mistake.
>>337416003
Taking a break, but hopefully someone can answer me this question.
>>337417481
I think they always get - 25 for a while because of recently conquered, also build happiness buildings.
>>337417661
>- 25 for a while because of recently conquered
Fuck, even they were my vassal and got integrated via diplo? That sucks.
If I want to conquer an empire what's the best way - make them vassals wait 10 years then integrate?
Is there a way to purge their planets while on war?
I don't want any of their aliens on planets.
>>337416003
>Tfw you'll never build a proper white Human empire
>First leader is some minority bitch
>Everything is racially diverse
>Can't be pure white
The fuck is this bullshit?
>>337417834
Pol made a mod where black skins were removed - go there and ask them for it, I didn't save the link.
>>337417654
What question?
>>337417830
Yeah iv experimented with vassals a couple times, even when they were loyal and had positive opinion of me, when the integration was done I noticed they were mad because we apparently conquered them....
>>337417481
>Hasn't learned anything from human history
Purge them
>>337417337
> peaceful expansion
> murdered by militants
> militant expansion
> boxed in by federation
Still trying to find that sweet spot
>>337417952
Damn I hit post before writing the question - so tired.
Can I make the bigger planet my capital planet? I want to have more rooms for specialized buildings.
>>337418060
You mean the amount of tiles available? If so, yes, but only if you managed to find one.
I think maximum is 5x5.

Anyone else feel like it's worth it having 2 science vessels early?
>>337417481
>He doesn't understand Space Gerrymandering.
>>337418136
Wat?
So what's the answer to the question?
Can I have other colonized planets as capital?
Do the deeds of men in all ages remain the same /v/?
>>337418198
Sorry, I'm kinda busy myself.
>>337418294
Nope. But it shouldn't affect your planet specialization anyway.
>>337418341
>Someone else is using space turtles.
How'd ya build 'em?
You can only reply to this post if you've conquered a fallen empire
there are too many aliens species in this game and hardly any mystery. The should be more factions within the alien species instead of creating ridiculous alien like space parrots. This game fucking sucks.
>>337418294
>>337418414
Actually disregard that, you can move your capital but you need to research a tech for it.

What followed was an intense re-structuring and re-engineering of my military machine to counter theirs. I somehow managed to maintain my warscore and hold onto my planets long enough for them to give up and concede to my demands.
Suffice it to say, the next time we went to war I was much more prepared.
>>337418198
I've been watching these fucks slowly swallow the galaxy for 50 years while I wait for the idiots blocking my fleets to die and make way for me to get destroyed as well.
>>337418989

>>337418565
Militarist xenophobe collectivists, with strong and venerable as traits. I went for a run-of-the-mill expansionist slaving warrior empire and it's been pretty fun after my initial game of pacifist humans.
>>337418776
Thank you very much - so basically avoid upgrading capital to galactic capital ( I researched tech wiki since you mentioned it )
Only upgrade it on planet you want to be homeworld
>>337419136
Those two empires that use point defence say hi
I'm having trouble making my first battleships. I have the tech to make level 6 space ports and I already upgraded two of them but I'm still not getting the option to build one.
>tfw my power comes from the One Power
>tfw may have expanded too soon this time but those planets were just too good to pass up
>>337418230
Science Vessels are amazing early game, using them primarily as scouts. You get tons of bonus resources and stuff from the anomalies, and having a good star chart is very valuable to the other aliens - They will pay good money for them if you wish to sell it. Just turn off the auto-evacuation shit so you can travel elsewhere if you encounter hostiles, rather than just straight back - Especially if you're Pleb Warping.
I'm making a loli species.
How do I make all my people white? Is there a mod?
>>337419626
Is this memes now?
>>337417834
I just don't want women representing a population or being leaders. Islamic Nations of Earth isn't a dream until then
>>337419626
Stellaris general has several such mods Mon frer
>>337419675
No. I'm not playing an interstellar empire run by africans, it's a farce.
I hate the missile meta in multiplayer right now.
Either you luck out and get some kind of early point defense, missile defense or good missiles of your own or you get butt blasted by the first guy who finds you and probably got said tech. Makes it feel like it all came down to random chance with the stupid tech card system.
Meanwhile missiles get progressively shittier later in the game where you have the time, intel and tech to build counters before they crush your balls.
>>337419846
Cool, thanks, will look into that.

>>337420102
I ran into some shitty bug too.
My science vessel finished surveying a planet with no resource and then some event popped up, which added 3 minerals resource to the planet, but I couldn't do anything with it with the Construction Ship because the planet was already marked as resourceless.
>>337419136
Missiles would be the least effective weapon against my current fleet. Someone who used missiles and armour would get creamed so hard it wouldn't even be funny.
So this is my current (and first game) so far. Collectivist, Materialist, Militarist
Forget what traits
Just got out of a long war with the Dabulans to my galactic north so that's why my economy is in shambles. They had a gigantic tech lead on me but I had the fleet strength (which is wonderfully flavorful if you've read the Honor Harrington books). I also got stuck in the ass end of the galaxy.
Those Dabulan space slugs are my slaves now and their empire splintered.

What's the best way to get a vassal without conquest?
>>337416003
What are these bugs?
I've heard people mention them, seen two hotfixes but I've yet to have any issues.
>>337417832
I haven't done it yet myself, but I'd imagine full bombardment for long enough will eventually kill all life on the planet. It's 15% chance per month to kill a pop.
Has anyone tried full bombardment to wipe out enemy pops on a planet - Once they lose their last pop, does the planet become uncolonized and they lose their border on it?
>>337420539
Sir, the correct term would be Peep.
>>337420561

Unzip it and place it in "C:\Users\<your name>\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\mod". Make sure you select the white name list when creating your civ or you'll end up with white people named Muhammad.
>>337419136
The way I eventually defeated the other empire was a fleet of corvettes and destroyers, with each destroyer having three point defenses per ship. Since they also relied on shields, I replaced my lasers with torpedos as well. They more or less crumbled on the first engagement. Of their first torpedo salvo, maybe 10% hit the mark, whereas mine struck them like a mailed fist.
So no, I wouldn't say missiles are the be-all, end-all of weapons.
>>337420590
once the planet loses its last pop it becomes free
so import one pop before you purge
>>337420561
Uplifting primitives via observation posts or uplifting pre-scentients with gene modding
You need to make sure you have "native enlightenment" or whatever allows infiltrating an industrial age primitive Civ
Whats the most interesting galaxy shape?
Ring? Spiral?
>>337420765
Ellipses
>>337420659
they have no choice but to help you in war. They can save your ass sometimes. And you can integrate them after 3600 days of being a vassal
>>337420765
I like ring because it seperates the sides of the galaxy somewhat without making huge chunks nearly inaccessible and far too safe like spiral does
>>337420765
>>337420809
this definitely.
>>337420816
Is there a distinction between vassal and protectorate?
>restart 5 times
>right beside a fallen empire EVERY TIME
how do i stop succin at video games
>>337420970
What's the problem? Fallen Empire won't do anything to you if you don't do anything to them.
>>337420714
I was thinking more if in a war if you full bombard their planets until all pops are wiped out, then follow it up with a colony ship to claim it as your own.
Does it revert back to them once you declare peace? Or do you keep it after the war?
I want to make my own human empire because the two premade ones are shit (nomadic, really?)
What do you think the racial traits should be?
I was thinking natural engineers and agrarian maybe.
>>337420908
Protectorates get increased tech research until they reach a certain point compared to your empire. Then they become vassals. Which in turn can be incorporated into your empire.
>>337421045
I don't know.
Haven't tried yet, but I'm doing a militaristic run so I might.
>>337420652
Research so you can colonize all those red planets in your area. Many of them will be the same type - That's the one you want to get. Then kill your neighbor and commit genocide upon his species.

That's when the nuclear war started. Meanwhile my guys are on orbit like pic related.

WHATS THE FUCKING POINT OF USING XENOPHILE
ENLIGHTENMENT SUCKS
>>337421296
how the fuck do you abduct people?
>>337420590
Their borders will shrink a little but the way border influence works in this game means the planet will still likely remain in their territory unless it was a single planet off all by itself, far away from the rest/anyone else.
>>337417481

>>337422080
Maybe you'd have more minerals if you stop adding clowns to your stations.
>>337422437

>>337422697
>but they can lose by losing funding?
They never had any chance to begin with. It's just a flavor text.
The planet limit thing
The influence penalty doesn't work
The energy one does however
>>337422749
Rest are sectors lad
>>337422749
>what are sectors

There's some interesting events associated with aggressive observation. A race of aliens that were venerable and quick learners were aggressively studied from industrial age to atomic age. Perhaps just RNG magic or maybe due to their traits that's considerable amount of progress in 50 years. I eventually had an event where I abducted their version of Einstein. They'd make great science leaders so getting their best seemed like a fantastic opportunity. Now he leads my society research.

>>337423709
I hate how you pay even if the ship is just sitting in orbit.
I lost a boatload of credits my first game because I thought I could settle somewhere, turned out I couldn't, but 350 minerals was too bitter a pill to disband while I tried to find another planet
>>337423857
I've played both this week. This is more complex but is easy to pick up.
>>337421096
Literally anything, we don't have aliens to compare ourselves with, ya dingus
Are any of the red technology events actually dangerous?
I heard the robot uprising was a minor nuisance at worst.
>>337422080
>MFW same year as you but 80K fleet and 100 planets already.

>>337424316
>a minor nuisance at worst.
They aren't super difficult to defeat but they literally start popping up all over the galaxy and attacks you quite unexpectedly if you aren't prepared for it. The AI tends to lose quite a few cities to them.
Wished they'd expand more on food/supply system, but I guess they're saving that up for the DeeElSee
What the fuck happened? I am steamrolling the entire galaxy with just 22k power. There is zero resistance. My biggest adversary is the slow framerate now that my ships are clogging up the sky.
I feel cheated out of my victory by my weak adversaries. My first ruler is still alive!
>get option to research Sentient AI

Everything went way better than expected
Man, Paradox fucks things up sometimes but they make really nice events
I just hope they keep adding new events so the old ones don't become predictable too soon
>>337421296
I love how these things are put in scale, while in X-COM it's a desperate fight for survival of the planet, in Stellaris it's a single click to get 6 science points
>go from making 5 influence monthly to -1 from joining an Alliance
Fucking stupid.
>>337418989
Torpedoes are extremely strong, it's true.
>>337418989
This might be the first ever paradox game where having the bigger number doesn't mean you win
Combat is actually pretty well balanced, and late game not knowing what you are going up against can be catastrophic
>>337419302
that's some high quality autism, I like it

Is Stellaris a genocide simulator? Because if so, I am totally buying this game.
>>337424316
Jump Drives summon the Unbidden, who if left unchecked will eventually become a blob of death since the AI won't attack them.
>>337424967
That is one fucked up galaxy
>>337423230
You want to be at your limit for controllable planets. They benefit you the most. Feel free to dump crappy planets into sectors and pick and choose the best for yourself. It can also be helpful to have them close together, as it's an easily defensible core that can churn out ships to help you defend sectors under attack.
>>337424032
I assume all those cryo chambers require a lot of energy to power. Plus colony ships are huge and no doubt have a ton of things like seeds and shit in the freezer.
>>337424998
Yes, you can conquer Alien world, genocide the native, then inhabit it with your own people.
The rest of the galaxy will start to hate you though.
>>337424638
Hopefully there will be good event mods, although they will likely be horrible meme mods
Does anyone remember VIET for CK2?
>>337424476
Yeah you really need to be able to move food from one planet to another. That's a pretty standard feature of 4x games.
>>337424587
Normal mode is easy mode. You will practically never be DoW'd. They will wait for you to come to them, after you're fully prepared.

I would just like to brag a little and direct your attention to my clean use of sectors

I also want to brag because I've destroyed that fallen empire to the west of me since this picture was taken

>>337419302
name one planet after the fat man angreal
or I don't know, go crazy and name your main fleet Ashandarei, that's fucking cool
>>337425190
Fuck public opinion. Strength is all that matters.
>>337421296
Are things like the speed of primitive progress and the liklihood of turning the planet into a tomb world at atomic age dependent on the species traits? They should be. Would help the player decide their approach to different species.
FYI nebulae have unique resources and events
They also normally have more resources in them than any other area of space
Always try to colonize them if you can
>>337424668
There are traits you can take that reduce the cost of participating in alliances. There needs to be SOME benefit to being a radical pacifist.
>>337424998
It's the first of their games where you can actually do it. It was even named Genocide in a beta version, changed to Purge
You can also bomb from orbit until everyone is dead and the planet is all craters
>>337425265
It's not grand strategy.Yet? Paradox is now comfortable releasing incomplete games. I'm sure they'll add trade and more diplomatic features in dlc, fucking jews
>>337425356
It's great, they'll hate you and then decide to attack. Then you can crush them and clap them in irons and send them off to the zyklon-b showers.
>>337425394
>not just pirating all the DLC like EVERYONE knows you're supposed to do with Paradox games
I don't whine about DLC if it's free
Let their dicksuckers pay out the ass for it, I'm over here getting more content for an already fun game
>>337425315
>>337425394
Thanks, sounds fun.
I got 120 planets whilst my biggest opponent remaining has 21, and I am playing on hard difficulty. Can I just put the game on Fastest speed and kick back now, waiting for inevitable victory, or will the late-game events still wreck me?
>>337425385
That feature alone is enough to make me buy the game. So edgy. Has the PC brigade taken up arms against the game yet? Their sweet, liberal tears fills my abject soul with warmth.
>>337425472
Piracy leads to sales
>pirated EU4
>two of my friends bought it after they saw it and liked it.
>i would have never bought it otherwise.
They probably know this anyways since they never have any kind of DRM
>>337425635
Yeah, they know that a fuckton of people pirate their DLCs, they clearly don't give a shit
>>337425459
In my current game I'm spending a lot of time purging my own species because they keep on losing fanatic spiritualist. Only ethos divergence I'm allowing is more collectivist.
>>337425459
>>337425316
>Ashandarei
It shall be done
>>337425584
I think they're waiting until a NEETsoc in /pol/ has enough agency to create a mod that separates the human species into whites, niggers and jews, so you can enslave and genocide them, this time in space
I have no clue what the fuck this game is but i kinda want it now
Is there a reason the AI never takes back worlds robots rebel in and also just let them migrate when the event starts? I'm fucking sick of cleaning this mess the retarded AI started.
a friend told me that this is a great game and i torrented it because i do that with every game (if i like, i buy)
this is my first game of this kind and it's so boring lads, anybody got any tips for boosting enjoyment levels :^)
>>337425584
The PC fags sometimes have valid points (ONLY SOMETIMES AND ONLY VERY OCCASIONALLY AT THAT DO NOT FUCKING MEME AT ME) but there is literally nothing they can complain about from this.
>oh no you can't genocide aliens in this totally fictional space game because once upon a time there were real people who were genocided
>>337425676
Just genetically manipulate them instead. Cut out the DNA strands that you dislike.
>>337425584
They like it. /v/ memes about stellaris being game that every furfag would like become truth
So I just started my first game and it's the year 2020 and literally nothing exciting has happened
I say this as a huge fan of civ and other 4x games
What am I doing wrong bros
>>337425762
The AI literally cannot deal with any of the end game crisises, I don't know how Paradox missed that one
They don't bother attacking the Scourge, the Unbidden, OR the machines
They really need to fix that, I'm tired of being the only motherfucker in the galaxy that can clean up the mess
>>337425740
Its a genocide simulator
>>337425868
>/v/ memes about stellaris being game that every furfag would like become truth
Excuse me, could you please try that again
How the fuck do I handle sectors?
I just wasted all of my influence setting that stuff up
So how's the learning curve of this game? The features sound so fucking fun. I'm a bit intimidated by Paradox' games.

>>337425385
Bombing from orbit takes way too fucking long, unfortunately. The popkill chance should stack with your ship quantity.
>>337426020
Its super easy to get into. There are a lot of things to understand but they are all fairly simple.
>>337426004
So, what that means is you delegated the responsibility of governing those planets to morons. Enjoy.
>>337426020
Barely above Civ 5 level. EZ PZ.
>>337426020
It's not that bad
The only thing that you need to remember is that you need to keep your navy at max at basically all times early and mid game, otherwise the AI will meme all over you
>>337425805
It's probably just not your type of 'game'. It's more of a spreadsheet simulator. I really enjoy that. (EVE online is my favorite game of all time..)
>>337425908
What the fuck? They hyped that shit and it's broken on release.
>>337426020
It's the easiest, most casual game Paradicks has ever made.
>>337426020
It's even easier than a lot of 4x, the only thing that gets iffy is planet management once you get huge.
And how about performance? I have an integrated graphix card. Wasn't sure if this game was toaster friendly.
>>337416003
i died and i found this on observer mode, anyone able to conquer this yet?
>>337426041
It does
>'Full' stance will cause 0.50 damage to the planet's fortifications each day, multiplied by the supporting fleet's size.
>New game
>Just settled second colony, third is shipping out
>Nearest and only guy I've encountered declares war
>zooms fleet 3x more powerful than my decently maintained one straight to my capital
>>337426158
What the fuck
Is that in a fallen empire or something?
>>337426123
o-oh ok
>>337426161
Like it says that's only fortification damage, chance to kill xenos is a flat rate.
Guys, how do I into research?
>>337426161
But it doesn't affect popkill chance
>>337426274
Yeah, certain fallen empires spawn with ring worlds
I want to be able to build them, give it to me, paradox
>>337426158
I defeated a Fallen Empire. They have some nice tech and some nice tech accessories.
When should you make a sector?
I started on Earth in the Sol system and every single habitable world around me is shit at no more than 20%, so I have only colonized two planets right next to earth.
But now I have found a planet a good distance from earth and colonized it. Should I just make it a sector or do I lose all control of it that way?
>>337426161
I bombed a planet for like 40 years
Killed 3
it's wayyy too low of a chance
>>337426386
This
Also their buildings are fucking godly
Prethoryn Scourge event still bugged for people? I bombard their planets but nothing happens.
Paradox pls fix.
>>337426308
>+2430%
>>337426021
Sounds legit.
>>337426123
Can we end the spreadsheet simulator meme
It's the least complex of all Paradox Games, and absolutely none of them you need spreadsheet, or even have any data presented in a similar format. Even in HoI3, the most autistic game of theirs.
>>337426392
Make sectors when you start colonizing over your core planet limit, it's as simple as that
Also don't forget to keep your core planets upgraded as much as possible
>>337426452
Yeah it's still bugged, I'm OP and that blotch of scourge in my galaxy is bugging the shit out of me
They're literally no threat, I just can't get rid of them
Fucking Paradox
>>337418198
It's okay guys I stole their ED weaponry.
>>337426476
It absolutely is
>>337426392
Dont sector things until you go over your controllable limit
>>337426021
I don't trust that shit for a fucking second
>make sectors
>find out AI is too retarded to upgrade everything I have to undo all my sectors, choose what to upgrade, then redo the sectors again. It's more work for no reason.
>>337426158
What are those letter sections? Are they usable?
>>337426274
It wasn't a fallen empire. But this ring world was protected by tons of defenses. Supposedly being around for 78 million years. Each habitable ring piece had pre-industrial primitives. I conquered/enslaved 3 of the sections. The other one I will tailor to be researchers because of their good traits.
How do I get my allies to agree to a federation? 2/4 keep denying.
How do I genetically modify certain pops? They aren't a different race, they just don't have the same ethics as my core pops
>>337426138
I don't know, Majesty 2 was a bit of a joke, good intentions be damned
>There's a Forerunner Glyph as an Empire emblem
Forerunner/Halo mod when?
>>337425846
Some parts of this game are seriously fucked up. Its even more frightening that we would do a lot of that shit too.What if its already happening?
>>337426678
Kill them and get new, better allies
>>337426692
You can't choose to modify based on ethics, ethics vary within a species, can be more or less depending on traits, government type, and government ethics
There's nothing you can do about them except enslave them or purge them
Get used to it, people have different opinions
>>337419818
sup achmed
>>337426021
>>337426585
This. PURGE THEM TO BE SAFE
>>337426678
I find they'll almost always accept factions you liberated.
>>337426021
Event Horizon, is that you?
I just want to make a nice empire but disgusting aliens keep boxing me in and asking me to join their federations, or be destroyed.
And when I join, it punishes me by making me lose all my influence.
>>337426858
>going through tech levels
>hey cool sentient AI, how neat
>oh wow crazy technobabbly bullshit that sounds awesome
>wow the ability to uplift a species
>uh, clone armies, that's cool, time to go full star wars
>mind control lasers to keep populace from diverging ethically... that's... something
>suddenly, rare tech comes up as an option
>xenomorph army
Jesus fucking christ this tech tree goes south really quickly
>>337426136
Everything in the game works fine in multiplayer. It's the AI that's dogshit and needs a year of patches.
>>337426625I'm gonna create a fantasy setting based on this
Get a load of this guy.
>>337426858
If only you knew how bad things really are.
What kind of traits/ethics would a Slaanesh empire have?
What do I do in this situation?
Me and Jaqkly are bros, I even tried allying with them 5 minutes before but they were too nervous to say yes.
follofans are trying to make moves on me too, insulting me.
Can I send my ships in to defend them?
How the hell do sectors work?
Okay what the fuck do I do now:
I started with a science ship and it began surveying systems left and right. Eventually the officer aboard got 5 stars around the age of 60, and he had the fast learner perk.
While doing a anomaly survey as part of the precursor storyline, he was suddenly elected leader of my faction and disappeared from his ship. He then won the next election too, despite me using almost all my influence trying to get someone else elected to he could continue his research, but it didn't work.
He died of old age while in office and I have no way of continuing the survey. None of my new scientists can get higher than 4 stars despite constant surveying, so they can't continue his work and they end up dying.
What the fuck am I supposed to do.
>>337416003
Are you running this on toothpaste?
>>337426867
It's fine as long as they aren't uppity
ended up putting orbital mind control lasers on every single station though
So I found a primitive planet and I want to invade it so I can colonize it, how the fuck do I even attack it? I set my policies to unrestricted.
>>337427332
This is why good workers don't get promoted in shitty companies.
>>337427267
Fast breeder
Spiritualist, extreme xenophile
Agrarianso you can simulate them getting nourishment from all the cum they swallow
>>337416003
Is there anything to do in this game except imagine something really interesting is happening, even though it isn't?
Its like a babby mode Distant Worlds universe.
>>337427384
Read the tooltips maybe?
>>337427384
The same way as you invade any other planet
>>337427384
you need an assault ground army.
I think I might have fucked up. My very first race I made were Xenophobic but Pacifistic, also Repugnant. Since I can't join up in alliances or federations, plus I can't/don't really want to go around conquering everyone, I've kind of stalled myself out of winning unless I just sit in my fortresses and let everyone kill each other or something I suppose.
In the meantime, I'll probably make a new empire that is perhaps more diplomatic while also being scary and strong, maybe bullying people into joining me.
Also has anyone done the opposite of a genocide simulator yet and created a super diverse race where all members are treated absolutely equally? As in all can be leaders, migrate freely, run for office, etc?
Flavor text added by me.
>>337427431
>>337427484
Thanks faggots, I'm clicking every button I can find and nothing is happening.
>>337427508
>a bunch of disgusting worm things that doesn't want to fight but also hates everyone else
>surprised when they get killed
>>337427226
This is why I'm obssessing over this game right now. So many fun stories to be had. Btw when I first encountered this system, with it's geometric defenses, like creations of DMT elves and then proceeded to create fleet to destroy them, then finding out everyone on the ring is around medieval age I immediately thought of game of thrones.
>>337427289
PLEASE
>>337427582
Then they will stand alone. When the Gods come, when the Fallen Empires stand up, when the nations battle each other and destroy everything.
They will still be here, eating shit and mud. Because they are bugs, and they are eternal.
>>337427582
It's like /r9k/ in space
>>337427508
>Also has anyone done the opposite of a genocide simulator yet and created a super diverse race where all members are treated absolutely equally? As in all can be leaders, migrate freely, run for office, etc?
I am disturbed by your lack of hatred for those who are different than you.
>>337427617
Yeah seriously, the RP potential for this game, the events, the tech, the setting, it all tickles my autism in a very specific way
This game makes me feel like I wish Spore had
>>337427508
HOW do you add flavor text?
>>337427508
I play a race that is xenophobic but reluctantly opens up to aliens
They made a federation and slowly started allowing aliens to migrate in, and granted them more rights, stopped enslaving them, allowed uplifted aliens in, etc
Feels actually surprisingly cool
It helps my RP that most of the aliens around me are avians like my race
Is there co-op in the game?
>>337427508
>Also has anyone done the opposite of a genocide simulator yet and created a super diverse race where all members are treated absolutely equally? As in all can be leaders, migrate freely, run for office, etc?
Next time
>>337427834
It's Spore done right. Only thing it's lacking is being able to zoom in and watch procedurally created worlds. Which they should add, considering how set they are in shoving their 3D maps into games that don't need them.
>>337427968
If by that you mean multiplayer, yes
>>337416003
>20k minerals
>700+ of each research
>literally broke
how
I'm at like +30 minerals and +20 of each research.
Does energy just scale up like shit?
>>337427289
>>337427649
You can do whatever you want m8.
If you declare war, or at least declare them your rival it should increase Jaqkly's opinion of you due to mutual enemy. Maybe they will eventually even accept an alliance.
>>337427968
That's called Hugboxing.
It's considered gay as fuck due to being the equivalent of calling your gym buddies to go beat up some middle-schoolers
>>337428097
Protip: resources that sit in your storage do absolutely NOTHING, especially energy credit.
>>337428305
The game needs some kind of interest system. Where having a lot makes you even more.
Anyone know how to update a pirated copy?
>>337428360
Wouldn't really mean much when the caps are so low.
>>337428097
No, I just came back from a crusade against the Prethoryns and my fleets are so huge that they crash my economy when I take them out of port
I've since gotten to a place where I don't go bankrupt when I take the fleets out for rape time
I'm at a point where I have full minerals, full energy, and full influence all the time and I have no idea what to do with them
All my planets are max level, my sectors don't need any, they're all maxed too
I have no reason to issue any edicts, no one is rebelling, no one is unhappy, I certainly don't need more military power or energy/mineral production
I've reached a point in the game where literally nothing can hurt me
Even the synthetics in my empire will never ever join the robot revolution because of a decision I got
I killed a fallen empire a while ago and it was easy as fuck
>>337428360
It's called investing in expanding your empire
In the far future, humans are only capable of hipster beards and topknots
:/
