You should change it to having a tier 2 bonus instead. Your zero-cost traits have merit, but the bonus should still be felt. Consider applying random chance with meagre returns. You'll get a "Huh" factor and that's all you need.

Guy who asked about stellaris vs distant worlds here. I went ahead and bought Stellaris since it was cheaper... I'm getting just about one day every second on the fastest speed. Is this by any measure 'good'? "Normal" and "Fast" seem to go about the same speed to me. Other than that I'm not noticing the usual Paradox lag (Crusader Kings II, HoIIV, Victoria, EUIV, etc), and aside from some slowdowns the menu seems pretty fluid. Mind you that this is on version 1.0.0, and the patch is downloading right now.
>>148143597
Could be two very much stylized fasces.
Well, actually, not the fascces but just the axes minus the fasces.
But I guess horse ass is fine, too.
>>148152717
>I'm getting just about one day every second on the fastest speed. Is this by any measure 'good'?
pretty sure speed is capped regardless of your PC's performance
>>148152717
Just patch it.
I had that problem in 1.0, but with 1.1 and later it runs fast enough on fast or very fast, even in lategame in a 1000 star galaxy.

Some mod recommendations if I want to turn my stellaris game into battle tech?
Anyone play endless legend in here?
If so, is the latest expansion worth it?
>>148157434
Worth what? Money? If you're a pirate definitely download it, it only improves the game IMO. If you want to buy it, I guess that depends on your financial situation, you can buy it on sale I guess
Talking about Shifters right? They haven't released a new expansion after that, yet?

What should my research priorities be in Stellaris? I just got the game, and I've basically focused entirely on unlocking destroyers and getting new ship parts. Am I doing this right?
How much science output should I be shooting for in the earlygame? These techs are rolling by painfully slowly, and I feel like I'm getting outpaced hard.
>>148164040
Are you expanding hard? More planets = more research cost
Wich in time should be offset by the new science labs.
>>148164558
How hard is expanding hard? I colonized a nearby planet and have maybe two or three frontier outposts.
>>148164837
Whats the year, I think the guide line is your first colony by 2208, your second by 2013 or something similar.

Civilization 6 is looking like a pretty good game desu. I'm much more optimistic for it than I was about CiV.
Are you guys okay with the fact that energy is the main bottleneck in planetary/military expansion? Because to be quite frank, I'm not okay with it.
It feels like the mineral income was balanced around constantly rebuilding ships and/or replacing building as your empire's priorities change. But the thing is that as warmonger-friendly as this game is, constant warfare to the point of requiring complete fleet rebuild is rare, and replacing buildings to meet demand is a stupid idea given the ludicrously slow construction speed. The only time I've found myself starved for minerals was when three empires wardec'd me at once, and that was mainly because I had no dedicated "minerals only" planet to begin with.
Really, buildings in general needs to have their energy cost reduced severely or generator output needs to be improved significantly. Hell, I'd even be okay with being able to replace one building with another of same tier as long as you have the tech for it.
>>148171641
Thanks. Shit is small.
>>148175434
You can just dump your excess minerals onto AIs for energy whenever your short, so unless you're totally isolated diplo wise, it's not much of a limit.
>>148173582

>>148178460
In civ IV on harder difficulites, you had to think when choosing your tech. Wrong choice could fuck up your entire game.
Now even that will be choosen by the game for you. You cannot even lose by fucking up your tech priorities.
I would also argue that new worker system is more casual friendly then the old one.
>>148178934
>Now even that will be choosen by the game for you.
chosen is the wrong word, i meant "solved by the game"
I dig the workers have charges so you don't have some eternal slave for thousands of years, but I don't like the instant build times. Maybe 1/2/3/4 turn builds on quick through to marathon speed
>>148178934
well, I wouldnt really say that, I'd say its different. techs are now spread across culture and science, so now a science based civ wont dominate like in civ 5. the eurekas seem a bit much to be able to just halve times, but the techs might take a while to research normally and they might get really difficult later on (not just building a mine or chopping down a tree or whatever.)
workers are a bit more casual, maybe? but I think they're just different. space matters a lot more because of districts, and the charges mean that you cant just fill up your territories with farms and whatnot, and then replace them easily with districts later. you have to constantly be building fresh workers, taking up production. im not a fan of the instant build times but oh well. also them removing worker automation means that it might be less casual friendly because shitters are going to be stuck more on what they want to do, instead of just letting the ai handle it. (and yea, a lot of people used automation)
Why does everyone love civilization series so much? It doesn't seem like a particularly special 4x game. The combat sysetm is so boring I've never been able to get into it
>>148152717
I actually just reinstalled Distant Worlds Universe after playing Stellaris. First played Distant Worlds around its release date. So much better than Stellaris in my opinion, but Paradox games need a lot of time to become a full game. We'll see
All I want from civ 6 is a competent AI that doesn't settle dumpster 1 tile tundra island cities 10 turns from the end of the game, or try to jew you over on every trade because 1:1 on luxuries you both have duplicates on is not fair or something, or harass you with endless prophets even after you ask them to stop, then get grumpy when you attack any prophets he sends into your lands or towards your city state allies.
>>148178934
I'm not seeing an argument. There is still a tech tree.
>>148179374
Because of the leaders.
You can see it with Beyond Earth, basically an identical game but the leaders are fictional people that have no story, and no one talks about it.

There's a mod that gives that portrait slightly larger eyes, I think it's the one you're using, the clothes are the same.
I don't know why, but that tiny change makes me go hnnnng
I think it's the look of disdain in her face
When was the last Civ game to have Teddy R.?
>>148187938
Do you have it? Mine hasn't got larger eyes but would want?
>>148189594
It's very slight, I can't even tell if the eyes are larger, or it's a bit more makeup
Are you using the German portraits mod? That's the one I'm talking about
The difference between them is is phenotype, you can notice between 4 and 5, I think
If Civ 6 doesn't have Vermin Supreme I'm suing Sid and everyone here

>>148152190
>be OP of last thread

Wew
>>148192281
lol holy shit the bigger eyes makes her look retarded. Like she's the opposite of crossed eyed or something. Her right iris is too far left (our left). Bigger eyes would look better if she had a smile or something I think.
My mod was the Separate Humans mod some anon from here made.
Was it the Imperial German Portraits mod? Think I have that
>>148192984
I was just checking, and the eyes are the sheboon's. It might be that what I thought was mascara was a darker skin tone, since it was made for the black woman. I think they look fine.
Yes, that's the one
So, I'm currently playing the following:
>Traits: Industrious, Thrifty, Sedentary, Slow Breeders.
>Ethos: Fanatic Spiritualist, Collectivist.
>Government: Plutocratic Oligarchy.
Fanatic Spiritualist removes the Slow Breeders penalty, and I get a +20% income on Energy and Minerals, along with a -25% cost in Mining Stations. Collectivist allows me to enslave, relocate, and purge divergent pops, should any occur despite my significant bonus to conformity.
My question is, how do Sectors handle slavery? If they handle it well enough, should I exchange Slow Breeders for Decadent?
Additionally, does anyone know what the icon that I've posted means? I get the symbolism behind the laurel of wheat, but what are the two mirrored shapes in the center?
I seriously regret not taking the ability to enslave or purge people. Putting up with unhappy people is so stupidly hard.
>>148193874
>identifying your empire as a horse's ass
Sectors enslave anyone if it will produce a higher resource yield I think. So basically all minerals/farms will have someone enslaved on it. They won't address faction issues or anything.
>>148195091
it's such a pain when orbital mind control and edicts and -%ethics divergence buildings and +%happiness buildings don't work.
>>148195230
Oh, that's fantastic; so I won't need to worry about the happiness penalty of Decadent, and the Fanatic Spiritualism will help create new pops faster.
Thank you!
>identifying your empire as a horse's ass
Yeah, yeah; I'll go with the bull's head symbol.
>>148195349
>don't work
do all of those things just don't work?
>>148196246
The happiness buildings do but the ethics divergence stuff just never seems to change my pops. I will never not go collectivist because you cant get rid of pops with different ethics any other way.
Despotic Empire or Plutocratic Oligarchy?
>>148197207
Going individualist is suicide; it's ridiculous that you can't enforce your will on your population.
>>148197268
>Going individualist is suicide
exactly. It's bizarre how often an individualist empire will produce pops that have non individualist ethics. It's like they want less freedom.

Your weakness will poison your people.
You owe no allegiance to aliens. They evolved under different circumstances, they do not think like you do. They consume resources that would be better utilized by your species and serve only as a roadblock on the path to greatness.

>>148202748
I was wondering because I was researching those tech that gave +5% to damage and rate of fire but my military power wasn't going up
How the fuck is it that I have a Hyperlane only game and my enemies are discovering psi Jump Drives
certain AI has the prereqs for the psi jump drive but other AI also has the psi jump drive despite not having ANY of the requirements for it.
I keep going to war with these bastards and I can't seem to discover the drives in the wreckage to research it at all
>>148203197
Oh, might be a bug, either not adding the damage at all or not updating the numbers from it. Maybe test out with other tech if you can be bothered?
>>148203374
anyone can get jump drives I thought?
>>148203576
I have the game set to Hyperlane only but Psi Jump Drive is the only other drive technology I can find in this.
>>148203670
Psi techs are their own special sub tree unlocked by ethos,. that's probably why.
Are the people with the Psi drives all Spiritual by any chance..?
>>148203942
2 of them are but this other one has none of the requisits which is making me really question if this is a big
>>148204060
Is the other one of the same species as one of the spiritual empires? They might have rebelled from ethics divergence after the tech was researched.
>>148204060
What are the prerequisites for it, apart from highest level of drive tech researched? I thought it was just down to RNG and that spiritualists get a higher chance and materialists get a lower chance of getting it
>>148204163
Its a major empire in very late game, they're still in power and haven't had an ethics change
They are a Collectivist but they don't have that 2nd requirement in purple
It appears you have to be some form collectivist or spiritualist.
Civ VI leader reveals are on tuesdays, right? So, how many hours do we have until the new reveal, do any of you know?
>>148201809
I got this "vote yes" and "vote no" shit on declare war when a race was declaring war on me in a previous game.
No matter what I picked, the event would timeout, and then the countdown would start again. The aliens never invaded me, either.
Is it a bug?
>>148204495
I think the populus that wants you to go to war with them will keep asking until they get discouraged
>>148204495
Sounds like more bugs
>>148204649
This game seems to be riddled with them
from military power not being added right to buggy fucking diplomacy.
My alliance ended because me and my alliance buddy defeated a common enemy between us but the moment our territories touched he instantly hated me so much that he dropped alliance then a year later went to war with me

Shoshone. Liberty or tradition? Best victory? They seem fun, and I'd like to play them
>>148205861
Shoshone is one of the versatile civs, you can really do what you want to do with them. Just make sure to have enough of their special scouts to get shitload of ruins
>Liberty or tradition
Depending on your land and your preferred victory. Scout your land for a while and then after choose it
>Best victory
Literally anything you want. Thanks to their scout you can get good early population from ruins which help with pretty much every victory, mostly science. You can get early faith ruins which help religion which greatly helps culture victory. Or you can go domination when their UU comes to play
I usually go science with them. Early population + the ability to grab lands very quick so your city can work the best tiles early really help
>>148205861
Tradition is usually OP but going wide makes better use of their UA, so Liberty is a distinct option.
Why do all of my planets want to be independent? Is this ethnic divergence or am I just shit?
Also, I should be able to purge the Trans-____ species that pop up regardless of my traits. They're terrorists.
>>148208891
>Is this ethnic divergence
yes, they start getting different idea. i am always militarist,collectivist,spiritualist. and suddenly some asshole in my colony became pacifist, individualist. i purged him immediately.
BIG HAUL
>>148204942
>This game seems to be riddled with them
It definitely was on release. They have fixed a lot tho but since asimov everything just seems unbalanced. There are still bugs to fix of course too and those fucking cucks are on two months holidays
>>148205307
anon, why do you always bring up touching weenies when someone mentions border friction
>>148208891
yup, ethics divergence is way too common and annoying to fix. Only collectivists can purge everyone (xenophobes can purge xenos but not own pops), it's basically a necessity with the current state of the game.
>>148211625
>ethics divergence is way too common and annoying to fix.
So much this.
I tried playing as pacifist individualists, and LONG before I managed to get to the entertainment park and paradise dome to stop everyone from being unhappy all the time, half my pops decided to be militarists or collectivists or whatever and be even more unhappy.

>>148213064
Neb, he was based as hell and a great man
>>148214171
Whatever are you're in, always have a few siege towers unupgraded, that bonus is too great to lose
I last played Assyria a while ago, IIRC there was a trick about them. I think if you embarked a siege tower, you could actually put naval units on the same tile and they would still give bonus to both naval and land units nearby. So they can't be attacked and give 50% bonus to every unit nearby, makes them great
Also another tip, when I was playing Assyria I didn't annex/puppet cities, I simply razed them because of their UA. IIRC, their UA gives you one tech for one city, so if you conquer a city and then lose it and conquer it again you don't get a tech, but if you raze it and other civs settle the same city again, you still get the tech when you conquer it. And seeing how expansionist the AI is that tactic works great, you can become the best civ in the game in really short time as Assyrians

So we couldn't vassalize the bharatis, we were missing a mere 15 points, so if you cant go against them, join them!. We have now formed a federation with the Americans, the Euros and the Bharatis.
The Dharma foundation and the Heaven's mandate have expanded explosively in the galactic west and have now cockblocked the brasilians who where trying to start again after the mandate took their homeworld.
Our migration treaties have bear fruit now, and there are mexicans living in 5 empires now, either by direct migration, or triangulated.

Forgot to add, that after forming the federation, our fist act as founder president was to 'liberate' more nigerian planets. We learned from our past mistakes and this time we only liberated two, wich were easily vassalized then.
On other news, the malays have crushed (unsurprisingly) the fanatic pacifists transafricans are now one of the lasgest civilizations ever.
The bolivarians (south americans) jumped on the bandwagon and took the transafrican homeworld for themselves.
The yayois have started conquering too, the pacifist way, integrating their alien subjects, a king of concious fungal infection. I'm trying not to judge.

If your policies allow it, you can uplift them and then purge, I guess.

If you can get it to a near river, near mountain and/or on hills start in 1-3 turns do it. If you think you can find a wonder in first 10 turns as Spain, do it.

The Imperial German Portraits mod?
It's well made, the military uniforms are really nice. Did you make them yourself, or got them from somewhere?
It works just fine in 1.2.1. I don't think it'll ever break, unless Paradox changes something about portraits and empire creation.
>>148221886
If you uplift them, the planet becomes yours.
And the uplifted species gets a pretty big happiness bonus (20%?) while they live under your rule, because you uplifted them.
And finally, you get a species whose ethics you can pretty much tailor to what you want and maybe they can settle planets for you that you'd otherwise have to terraform first (or that would require you to genemod your own settlers).
Though if you already want their planet, the latter point might not be the case.

Is this not solved by getting the mega browser add-on? You can just disable/delete it after you're done anyway.
>>148226604
Anybody?
>>148229417
Yes. The worst crime in war is to lose, because then you won't even be around to defend your choices and actions while your enemies will be around to defend theirs.

Serious, why does having a larger military than your vassals/protectorates give you a negative modifier? Is this a bug?
if fighter jets can destroy missiles AND damage ships, why use point defense at all? Flak?

You can hit them several times before they even begin to launch the missiles. The scourge ships are all bigger than cruisers so you dont have to really care about evasion, only firepower + range
>>148235420
>At least CK2 is adding immortality.
It already was in. As mods, yeah, but it was in. And it was okay.
Anyway, I'd like you people to suggest me a few names for a few militaristic xenophobics empires for Stellaris. I want to make bad guys.
I thought about "Space Nazi Imperium", but it sounds silly.
>>148160929
This is dope. Rolling
>>148237069
>bad guys
Not possible and the game is too shallow anyway.
>it was already in
Yeah but for example I expect a character with the immortal trait to be immune to aging graphics, sex appeal opinion modifier loss, or menopause so I can remain the qt hyperslut with 100+ all-around stats forever.
If you really want to, name yourself Celestial Domain and make your ruler title King of Kings or some shit.
>>148237069
What about Galactic/Firmament Reichskommissariat?
>>148237484
That would do, I guess.
>>148237332

It's easier to slaughter an empire named "Evil McMoustache" than an empire named "Fuzzy Cute Kittens Protectorat".

"Evil" empires are only evil because they're in your way and don't align with your interests. That's almost literally the definition of Evil.

Hey, guys.
So, I've switched over to Regulated Slavery to placate my plebian population, but they're giving me red numbers on the tiles and it says that they're still gaining support -- they're up to 55%.
What's going on; I thought that going Regulated would calm them down?

>>148242032
And that culture gap is unfathomably enormous, your point? The only bigger gap is between two species with entirely different morals on the instinctive level.
Even today there's a massive fucking culture gap between shit like Japan and China and Vietnam and Korea or between the US and Britain.
>>148242114
And to that end you'd rather be used by them in life?

I've known plenty of Chinese who have travelled to those other countries and made friends. You might have had a better case pre-globalisation or in respect to fringe groups on either end.
>>148231138
If you invade other empires, or just have a huge military; the other nearby empires will get spooked.
I had a friendly empire near me that I had been nice to; but after I invaded another empire, they suddenly got the "they see you as a threat" modifier that gave them -20 opinion of me.
>>148243860
>gave them -20 opinion of me.
it was more like -90 for me
but it goes away slowly
>>148243765
Yeah and ancient Greeks have gone to Persia and made friends. A culture gap doesn't imply unbridgeable on a personal level, it's nationwide and there are plenty of mismatched customs, quirks, acceptable jokes / reactions and stuff.
>>148243458
>did they actually kill emulatorsyes, the game crashes if you use one
if I uplift a race, why doesn't their home planet count toward the direct planet control cap? it was 4/5 before I uplifted and it still is, but the planet is under my control

Xenophobic militarist. I can't see something that wants to eat other species as anything short of fanatical purifiers. Move to one planet, "eat" all the species. Butchered, frozen, and stored. Move to the next one and continue.

The picture looks exactly like this pic of Isabela of Portugal but the placement doesn't fit with the alphabetic order
But then again, the Firaxis pic is low quality and they managed to fuck up some leaders on the past, so it isn't out the question either.

>>148252545
What I can make out of the hair makes me think Trajan.
>>148253387
Actually, wait.
Isabella would be before Phillip if she was for Spain, but two leaders when others only have one would be silly.
I don't see an option to form an embassy with these penguins. I only have -3 relation score with them. (I scrolled-down the list also, in case you are wondering.)
Is this a bug, or did they remove embassy options in the 1.2 update?
Do you have to research some sociology tech in order to make embassies? I can't remember.

I can't even name any significant nation with the name between Germany-Greece, and they take out Persia and Ottomans, doesn't make any sense imo. Why, couldn't find any female leaders for them? I guess Civ games simply don't sell in Turkey or Iran

>I can't even name any significant nation with the name between Germany-Greece
maybe the Golden Horde? or the Great Seljuk Empire? I dunno. just grasping at straws.
Is there a better way to manage my stellaris mods than the fucking hogwash they have right now?
I fucking love civfanatics
>>148245930
You know I see the spooky mysterious angle they go for with the trailers
But stellaris basically has no significant gameplay mechanics that make the universe feel mysterious or threatening, it just becomes methodical
I mean the politics stuff, especially when you throw other human players into the mix is interesting still, as it is with HoI or EU, but the exploration angle they like to go with for Stellaris is just kind of a let down.
I mean with how common and un-unique basically everything is in the generated galaxies, how few unique events there truly is and how the spess aliens are always exactly the same, it's predictable, ultimately while you can make up your own stories with interactions of empires, the base game itself really fails to deliver anything like that.
