STELLARIS: New Paradox Game in SPAAAACE

[Barrister]

By the way how do you actually see the battles being played out?  All I see is a little EU-ish line showing relative strengths.

Played out how?

To see all the pew-pew-pew lasers.

Zoom in?

Zoom in?

Huh - didn't know it was as simple as that.  Thanks!

This game needs a history log like the other Paradox games have.

[Jaron]

And lots and lots of graphs!

It seems how active the mid game is depends on a combination of factors. Density and the ethos of the empires themselves. The faster space fills up, the more conflict is likely. However if pacifists predominant in a region, or the galaxy as a whole, conflict will be low regardless. Once the number of agressive empires passes some threshold, the game becomes much more paradoxy.

One way to insure lots of activity is to set the number of AIs to the max and make and then save a bunch of space jerks and force them to appear in your games. However, I think the first DLC will have to focus on fleshing out diplomacy and trade so that people in peaceful regions have more to do in the mid game.

My current game is going well. Just sent out a ship to settle my 12 th planet. Lots of war in the neighborhood. Formed an alliance against an agressively expanding empire.

They sold 200,000 units on the first day, which is a record for Paradox. They promise lots of expansions.

Sold more in one day than EU2 or Vicky in their whole lifetime?

Did he quit?

EDIT: Through the power of search, I found his goodbye post.

How I should not that he has been lurking recently, so hopefully he'll come back one day like CdM did.

My Divine Imperium is working it's way down a galaxy spiral cleansing xeno taint along the way, just had a 4k navy get wiped out by an opposing empire fielding massive swarms of chaingun corvettes.

Care to share your powers? I can't find it.

Yeah, I have hit the mid game lull.   I purged a militaristic rival early on and the rest of my region of space wants to be my friend.

[celedhring]

My last war has been more difficult to win than expected. I won by outproducing the opposition, but casualties were pretty lopsided in their favor.

I probably need to improve my military tech, or design ships better. It's weird because I wanted to be a very militaristic power, but the tech draw has made me industrially stronger, while I don't feel my ship tech is up to scratch.

I just got this, pre-ordered at Paradox, but I've only played about an hour. So far though it looks quite promising.
