STELLARIS: New Paradox Game in SPAAAACE

[PDH]

Maybe it's just me...but I decided to forego xenomorph armies for my pacificst empire...

[Barrister]

Bah I think I screwed up.  Playing as the default United Nations of Earth, who are xenophile fanatic individualists.

I'm doing pretty well at the start, but I feel hemmed in by an early rival.  So I conquer him.  Do so pretty easily.  I incorporate these worlds into mine.

But I'm a democracy - and now I have a bunch of unhappy pops who keep clamouring for independence.

Any way to make these pops happy and satisfied within my empire?

Giving them their own sector should work. Autonomy should cut the unhappiness down. At least that's how it was explained on the Blorg Stream. Haven't had to deal with it yet. Been using gateways to spread all over the map without war. The only wars I've waged are on behalf of my allies.

Giving the conquered pops their own sector seems to have worked.

Played late into the night yesterday.
Did some configuration to improve performance.

* I think I made a mistake chosing super xenophile for my space gerbils. Now I can't do anything interesting with native worlds. I want to give them full citizenship but can only make them vassals.
* one annoying point.... I conquered an enemy. They live in a different planet type to me.... but I can't colonise that planet type with them. You'd think that tech would come with any advanced race of the type.  Surely they had colony ship plans on their world?
* why are desert and arid so incompatible anyway? Surely they should be each others 80%.... but no.

The Tech will show up now, research it.

I gave a sector to 2 new conquered species. One appreciates, the other not really.

Pronounce the sentence of Exterminatus upon the Xeno scum.

Do so in fealty to the God Emperor (our undying Lord) and the grace of the Golden Throne. 

[The Brain]

There is no endgame yet, right? At least I didn't find it.

There are supposedly three different types of crisis you can trigger in the game (some kind of bug invasion, some kind of extra-dimensional invasion and AI becoming uppity). Furthermore you can fight the Fallen Empires eventually.

There was a bug invasion that stalled, and I whipped one Fallen Empire. I feel like I could start conquering my way around the galaxy but the drudgery... I would like for there to be something that could drive the endgame, that could trigger a final showdown that decides a winner.

When is this patch coming out?

I hate the time between when patches are announced and released. I have some tolerance for playing the beta, but that wears out pretty quickly, and I simply don't want to play anymore until the patch is actually released.

But I do want to play!

[Grey Fox]

Rejoice Berkut, the patch is release Today!

[Darth Wagtaros]

Yays. I was about to quit playing until it came out, for the same reasons as Berky.  It out now? Anyone test it to make sure it won't fuck shit up?

[celedhring]

Yays, time for my first proper save then.

[Grey Fox]

I've used the beta all week, it worked fine for me.


In my playthrough, I wiped the scourge's 67k fleet with 2 45k fleets with losing only 25 corvettes. My counters were perfect.

[Barrister]

So with the new patch is there a reason to build anything other than corvettes?

[celedhring]

They are more vulnerable now since they nerfed evade bonuses. Dunno whether that's "enough".

"Fun" is a reason.
