what are some good space RTS/4X games? Ideally with good ship

Endless Space and Stellaris are the first two to come to mind when thinking of empire building and ship combat. EVE Online might also be a good option if you like Anarcho-Capitalism in space.

Augustus was followed by Tiberus (shit), Caligula (shit and possibly insane but it could just be senate character assassination), Claudius (better but not Augustus), Nero (incompentent), and then civil war, then a line of okay to good emperors, then almost civil war, then good ones, then Commedus (the worst, most incompetent of the lot) then civil war, then military dictatorship and series of horrible, horrible decisions that put power into the army and emperor alone.

You're forgetting one major thing that is barely covered when it comes to despots. The power isn't in the hands of the despot alone. He can be easily slain and replaced for he is, after all, still mortal. This is in contrast to democracy where the power is in the "people's" hands so they never feel the need to reach out for a despot to rule them, despite being ruled by one.

This is probably the worst part of that system. For one, the good ones die (because they're human). The stupid bad despots get assassinated and then the nation is thrown into a possible civil war (those roman civil wars were about all that power being up for grabs). The bad, cunning despots maintain power for decades while they fester away the country (Look at Papa Desane of Haiti, literally the worst thing to happen to that country's history).

Despots are just a recipe for civil war. Democracy aint perfect, but there's just more cogs that need to fail before the system turns to war.

If President Trump were assassinated, there wouldnt be a power struggle between the House, the Senate, and the army over the Imperium of the United States.

Realistically speaking, there is no logical reason for war after we get into space. There are far too many resources and land. LoGH only has war because the Empire kept pursuing it to keep the rest of the subjects in line. But even then, Phezzan was allowed autonomy because of the money it brought in.

The biggest problem with depots, or rather with who is to succeed them, is that even if they have their own children and raise them perfectly, it won't matter jack shit if the heir is retarded in terms of intelligence.
And IQ is not hereditary and is literally considered a genetic anomaly, so good luck finding a good heir. Julius had to resort to a grand nephew (Augustus) to find one.

They really aren't. Militarily, their individual commanders are superior to the Empire, save for Reinhard's top administration. Their fleets are bigger, and their economy is stronger. Get out of the thread while you still can, before too much gets spoiled.

And bad heirs mean an unstable powerbase. Too many ambitious people are out there. It's dangerous to condescend power even if it provides more control for the despot who knows how to wield it.

Not in my eyes.
With Democracy, you're doomed to have 24/7 mediocrity and borderline shit forever and ever, nothing great will ever come out of it and it has incredible potential for massive corruption as the time goes on.
With a Despot, you're guaranteed a binary dice roll, he will be either good or shit and since he isn't limited by Democracy, he can actually get shit done if he's good. And if he's bad, sure he will bring ~50 or so years of strife until he dies/gets assassinated and is replaced by a different one which again can be either good or bad.
With a despot you're basically statistically guaranteed to have a golden age period, with democracy you will NEVER have a golden age period.

>>376247880

Let me just say that Stellaris is shit and turned me away from even trying other Paradox titles, even though they're not the same genre.

This is why Julian and Hildegard setting up a constitutional monarchy at the end of the series was the best move. It brought about peace to the galaxy, and it will ensure that a bad ruler can't happen. And it will also ensure that a bad council can be removed.
(For what it's worth, the council in the FPA is about the simplest and dumbest "democratic" system I've ever seen.)

I dont know how you're supposed to keep up with everyone unless you binge watch it. I appreciate how intricate it is even if sometimes I only remember shit that was posted in the webms or the political talks about imperialism and democracy.

With a despot, you're also guaranteed to have downturns and failures. The incompetence of the person at the top, with no checks and balances, means that their failures are going to be magnified.
If you're going to discuss history, I'm going to point out the Napoleonic Wars. France was fighting internal wars against royalists, and external conflicts against every nation in Europe. And it took a good twenty years before France was finally defeated.

Because of the republican democratic system and a removal of incompetent noble officers from the army, and appointment of better heads of state, France was able to do that.

Under a king, you don't have checks and balances to make sure that the ruler and his buddies aren't idiots.
Unless you have a constitutional monarchy.

You're right, although that's what new reserach from last 3 or so years shows based on what I just looked up. It was agreed that it's not hereditary before then. Also it seems to be hereditary from... mother side, so basically not hereditary at all if you're looking at male despot seeking to install his male son as heir.

>>376248902
there's a case to be made for stability. basically if your country is led by a despot that is a very precarious position to be in. power could shift hands very quickly in a very bloody manner. democracy leaves everyone slightly powerless which makes it harder to seize power. i dunno i feel like democracies are less likely to suffer from a bloody civil war, if you want to preserve life then a democracy will in the long run probably shed less blood.

>>376248902

Your entire post reminds me why I'm glad political theory was developed over centuries instead of minutes.


Throwing your country's future in with dice rolls is too dangerous. For every Augustus you get, you'll have six to eight Kaiser Wilhelms or Caligulas.

Men who know what they're doing can make any system work. If you follow the lives of a few US senators like Henry Clay you can see just how one man in a democracy can be the lynch pin to keep a plan going. Stagnation 24/7 is a retarded way to describe democracy when the USA for the past 100 years ascended to a superpower status on the backs of senators, representatives, and presidents. Power comes in waves and just like Despotism, democracy has critical issues. Political thought because a measure of what flaws you wish to deal with.

I like not having roman style civil wars, or relying entirely on the roll of a dice. so I prefer democracy.

If you want to try despotism, there's a few places around the world you can move it and see it in action.

There are animes with a better combat descriptions. In LOGH they use certain tactic and it works but you never have basis to tell why it works. You don't know why enemy have not anticipated it and so on. This staggering considering that often the most simple maneuvers are used.

I don't know about the politics, because is there some other political anime? But it also hits very standard themes. Like for example "oh gee in democracy they just want votes" and "oh gee in despotism some shit people may be high in hierarchy".

I mean sure, it's manly but in the same way that porn is manly. It's masturbatory material, it's neither for your heart nor for your brain, it's for your penis. I'm talking about stuff that moves your heart or mind.

It was more the democratic leaders fault for forcing the invasion in the first place instead of just calling it a day after Iserlohn.

If you knew anything about French history, you'd know France had already stomped the shit out of everyone trying to threaten the Republic. Napoleon just took this horrifying army and bungled it away trying to build an empire. Also,the beliefs that Napoleon and his troops spread werent the color purple but the Rights of Man.

Even after France was defeated, the seeds of democracy kept growing everywhere they marched. WWI was just the death and final failure of this old system.

Well I know that the original Ghost in the Shell movie made me understand that version of Mokoto and the troubling issues that transhumanism can bring tona society.

It's not perfect. But the smaller the scale, the more time an author can invest in a single idea or group of characters. Less is more isnt always true but it is the perfect guiding principle for anyone writing a story or directing a movie.

>>376250953

birth rates in developed nations are trending horrible downwards. Japan for example is in a population spiral.

All the nations with shit health care and medieval governments are doing just fine breeding like rabbits, like always.

Perserving human life just keeps the good and bad with us for longer. And honestly, people like Boogie are always going to die earlier anyways because the best doctors and health care will always be reserved for the champions of your social darwinist viewpoint.

So is nobody going to identify all of these?
I can only recognize some of these.
Berserk (3rd in top row)
Kino's Journey (1st in second row)
Evangelion (1st in last row)
Ergo Proxy (4th in last row)
And of course Legend of the Galactic Heroes in the center.

I have no idea what the others are.

>>376251650
Talking about the Fukumoto fujoshi?

>>376251453
An incompetent dictator might screw the country but a backstabbing politician will screw it up for money and in such a way that it can't get unfucked until things get bad enough to have a revolution which may well never happen.
That makes a dictator that is bad with money or war mongering seem angelic in comparison

>>376251782
Yeah. Kaiji is pretty much moeshit for girls.

>>376251650
>If only you knew, anon.
Whatya mean? There are fujoshi that actually enjoy the unattractive art style of FKMT and his generally unattractive men? Ichijou is like the only attractive one and even that's a stretch.

>>376251917
Yeah. A lot of them think Kaiji is moe.

>>376251778
From what I know, there is
>Mushishi, last of 2nd row
>Aria, 1st of 3rd row
>Kaiba, 3rd of 3rd row
>Monster, 3rd of 4th row

>>376251981
I can only understand if they mean anime Kaiji/manga Kaiji post part 3.
Because Kaiji only goe the "big anime eyes" in the anime (and third part of the manga and onwards).
Part 1/2 Kaiji in the manga looks like a homeless ugly korean.

It's funny how /pol/tards believe Trump is Reinhard

>>376252065
He's considered moe because of his behaviour, not because his chara.

>>376251492
I don't understand

>>376252216
Oh, fair enough.

>>376252202
I never got that either. Probably just retarded secondaries who never actually watched a single episode. Trump is the exact kind of person Reinhard would despise.

>>376251917
Yowamushi Pedal is another ugly series that fujos adore, don't underestimate their fawning capabilities

>>376252202

So how easy is Stellaris to get into?

Wasn't it more because France had to force itself in total warfare (as in pretty much every aspect of society is geared to turn or fight in the war machine) while other countries relied on standing army?

This fucker was so incompetent it was insane. He still somehow survived to the end and probably had a decent retirement where he plays chess with his grandchildren. He never manages to beat them.

>>376251706
Why do retards always project whatever real life political figures onto what characters they hate? Especially when it doesn't even fit?

Truniht is a typical rat politician that knows exactly when to flee a sinking ship. Like when he opposed the Invasion of Imperial space because he knew its likely to fail, and count on getting ahead when the fallout comes.

Stellaris is more 4x live Civilization than grand strategy like Victoria 2 or EU4. Only real similarity is the event pop-ups. The main thing it would prepare you for is Paradox's absurd dlc policy.

>>376254547
He is in no ways comparable. Trump is a blowhard that speaks about whatever inane ideas pops into his head, and typically choose to focus on attention what lowest hanging fruit or nearest hill to die or drown in. And basically have little idea how government or diplomacy works.

Basically people take him about seriously as a typical WWE braggart match. Meaning he's about sneaky as a elephant in the room (especially when he just blurt out whatever things he thinks of at the top of his head)

>>376253984
The white only mod is on the steam workshop still just without the political stuff in the description.
The planets don't matter so much. If you start on continental world's like earth you will spawn with 2 or 3 continental world's nearby. It's the same with all the planet types.
Probably the only hard thing is figuring out your economy and influence management.
Also just use projectile weapons when starting and get shields before armour.
