STELLARIS: New Paradox Game in SPAAAACE

[jimmy olsen]

I guess they want to prevent a situation where a governor of a sector builds something and then it fucks up your global empire's resource availability - so it means they can only use a resource from their own sector.

You should have the choice whether to subsidize them. It doesn't have to be automatic.

[PDH]

I agree that strategic resources should be across the entire empire - in part that is why if I build up a potential sector (capital) to have a lot of power, etc. I don't need to find a special Betharian stone planted to gerrymander into the sector when it is declared.

On Paradox forum, someone is complaining about a bug where members of a xenophobic, collectivist race migrate to an individualistic, xenophile empire that signed open migration treaty with its neighbours, only to immediately grow unhappy and join a rebellious faction that is blowing up buildings.

[Martinus]

Thank you, Captain Obvious.

[garbon]

Say the xenophobes.

[Martinus]

My human Empire is neither xenophobic nor xenophilic. We welcome all races as long as they are willing to work mines and fields for the glory of the Phoenix Throne.

By the way I decided the smallest maps are the ones I want to play. It's not different than all my Civ and Civ clones games - I hate having too many colonies to manage.

[Zanza]

Not sure if the smallest is the right size, but there doesn't seem to be a single mechanism that actually scales with map size. You have a fixed number of core planets, you always need the same number of aliens to found a federation etc.

[Barrister]

So playing again as the xenophobic Commonwealth of Man.  Very quickly DOWed the first species I came across.  They had two planets colonized in the same system.  TO my surprise they surrendered after I had wiped out their fleets, but before I had actually conquered either planet (and in fact one invasion had been beaten off).

So I promptly enslave them all, because that seems like what you should do - but I still have to worry about slave happiness?  Hmm... how do I do manage that?

[garbon]

No. Slave happiness is irrelevant as they currently can't revolt.

[Legbiter]

I like to put my enslaved xenos into dedicated mining sectors until I can terraform their planets to my species' liking. Then I resettle 1 of my pops on the planetary capital tile and purge the rest. The emperor protects.

That was my tactics as well... until all the remaining xenos allied against me and the nearby fallen empire decided to wipe me out.

[celedhring]

I keep specialized gulag planets where I resettle pops scheduled for purging, in small batches. Slows down the process, but makes it safer.

This game is so evil.
