/civ4xg/ - Stellaris, Civilization & 4X Strategy General

Is there any place I can download Clarke patch without using steam?

Funnest play through?

Don't you die now

Let's talk about some Civilization VI, anything

can you limit the amount of traits leaders can have?
I'd like to create a penalty that makes leaders focused on one thing (trait) instead of making them stupid (slow learners)

>dying two posts away from bump limit
Shameful

someone post the pic of crash of player numbers to go with dying general

1.2 patch when

space usa, fanatic militarist + individualist or fanatic individualist + militarist?

>>145810098
more like Fanatic militarist + xenophobe amairight? MAGA

Can I change my primary specie? I have policy Primary Species Only and I want to breed master race of perfect leaders. Do I have to gene mod everybody or just pops on capital planet? Or am I stuck with my original specie and everybody modified is considered to be a xeno?

>>145810620
IIRC if you gene mod everyone, you will end up without a primary species.

What is the New Memeship type, I have not played since Torpvettes

>>145812210
tachyon lances if you have them
maybe neutron torps, people said PD doesn't stop them

Dead thread, dead genre

I really hope the leaders will be more interesting to play as in Civ VI. Like something more bombastic and game changing instead of "extra embarked movement" "no penalty attacking over river" "less time to raze a city" like how boring can you get

>>145822264
People will buy it anyway, so why other? You don't need AI or interesting bonuses for autistic 1-2 cities playthroughs, which is what most civ5 players do.

>>145822264
Each civ in Civ 6 will have 4 unique things about them instead of 3.

They will have two UA's this time, one is gonna work for the whole game and the other is gonna work for the one era that the leader lived in. This leader-specific UA could also materialize as unique unit, such as Teddy's Rough Rider. Each Civ will have at least one unique unit and at least one unique building/infrastructure.

I don't actually know how the game applies it.
Could be Gaia Planet = 100%, -10% = 90%
Or Tidal Locked = -10%, but Gaia overrides to permanent 100%.
I only found conquered the planet after I'd already got +15% habitability from tech, so I have no way of knowing.

Good ground combat in an 4x/Grand strategy when?
I want to see all the different troops dynamically interact, like how spaceships usually do. It would also allow for combat to be resolved by more than just spamming stacks of armies and watching health bars tick down.
I was thinking something similar to Multiwinia could work.
>doesn't even need to be 3D, a two dimensional map of the planet would suffice
>terrain on the 2D map would be cool as well

Something like this could add strategic depth to invading an entire planetary body. Where should troops land? Being able to design troops like how ships are would allow for the same gameplay ships have to be experienced by the ground forces as well. Things like what kind of small arms weapons infantry have.

How does the game determine what ethics other empires start with?

So far this game has been almost everyone being Individualist or Spiritualist, when I'm Fanatic Collective and Materialist. The ones that aren't Individualist or Spiritualist otherwise hates me for enslaving and purging, although I haven't actually purged anyone (yet) and the only slaves are from my own primary species (Star Empire, so enslaving people works out 'better' than using robots).

On previous games where I was a 'pacifist xenophile' I noticed a lot of militarists xenophobes as well.

Materialist-individualist-militarist is optional

>>145822264
Civs should have more leaders.
Few leaders for different eras. At last one for each.
With a chance -optional- that they switch leader to another if it his era.
Say germany start with Arminius-Barbarossa-Fredireick-Hitler-Merkel
Some leaders will be weaker tha n others and represent nation decline.
It would be possible to go revolution and try to frce change leader.
It should eb optional as I can see many people could not like it.

I get that spiritualists would be against the leader enhancement shit, but why do collectivists get a penalty too? I mean, you make the best leaders for the good of the species. It seems like perfectly normal Hive behavior.

Nobody replied last time, so I kindly ask again.

Can I ask you about opinions on Sorcerer King game?

I played and liked Fallen Enchantress, but I heard that SK is actually regression from that form - that game is actually simplified instead. Could anybody provide their opinions?

>>145855726
FE is a proper 4x with some light rpg
SK is less classic 4x.
In SK you are a vassal of the SK and have to keep on his good side while expanding until you can beat him.
It's an interesting dynamic but if you're just looking for a normal 4x it's not for you.

>>145855868

Actually, I got Planar Conquest game recently for free, as apology from devs of Worlds of Magic after they decided that their game cannot be fixed and instead made separate, "improved" version. Since I bought key for WoM for around 2 EUR, I guess it went out nice.

Seeing that those two games are similar, then maybe I shouldnt get SK at all.

But does it mean that SK doesnt have normal 4x game mode, aka start on randomly generated map, make alliances and crush opponents?

>>145856401
Limited leader amount actually force you to do some choices. And was another anti blob mechanics.
Your medicine isn't much better than sickness.
Increasing leader amount isn't bad but 9000 is just ridicoulus.
It would be nice to have separate leaders slots(for each category) plus some universal(waried on goverment system and tech) plus ability to use different leaders for diferent tasks.
Like using general to govern planet(to pacify population, cheap units or boosting defence) or governors to lead fleets.
So military govermnt could have more generals/admiral slots when civilain ruled more burecrats(even in army).

How is WoM and PC?
I hear that they are unplayable.

>>145857910
i said 9000 just for meme reference.

i agree that the leader system needs to be reworked. Xenophobic pops should revolt if you assign the alien governer.
We also should be able to see the stats of the leader of alien civilisation, try to interract with them, give them presents directly, trying to assasinate them, or be able to bribe the enemy governor.

It should be also intresting to manage the crews of spaceships. percentage of aliens and core species in the crew. Some species should be able to operate ships more effectively than the others, some traits should be added like "born in the void" or something like that.

>>145858013

>Stardock games are shit.

But I really liked Fallen Enchantress, despite its weak AI ;_; Fantasy 4x games are fun and I already played a lot of Age of Wonders 3.

>How is WoM and PC?

Didnt tried them yet, to be honest. While WoM is supposed to be so broken that even devs decided to abandon it and give Conquest for free to any owner (basically free patch), their next game is, according to some opinions, much less buggy.

I am not really for assasination.
All for gathering info and supplying/supporting the factions(who can do various shit- like assasination).
I am more for local(sectorised) or planetary fleets. Using auxiliriary or mercaniers crews.
Actually kind of separated manpower for ships and military units would be nice. How much skilled crewmans a empire have? Plus exp levels for ships.

integration of xenos should be reworked to be more fluent than just "xenos allowed". Maybe some system of accepted races like in Victoria 2. I.e. ATM there are four castes in my empire - ruling original specie, derived species modified for special tasks like research, uplifted and client xenos annexed mostly peacefully who likes me and conquered dicks who despise me and deserve nothing else than be enslaved and toil in my mines.

>>145859397

I mean, they don't make sense. Ally would accept any war goal as long as he gets something (Even if it is liberation of one planet in his name) and won't object if you don't press it on victory anyway.

Also, why did my observation posts stopped enlightening primitives? They list monthly gain as zero.

>>145864628
It is possible that the monthly gain gets rounded down to zero, this happens if they're renaissasnce or earlier.

I think that can happen with the random gene-modding event, when some pops basically get a bunch of traits changed or added for free.

You can get events where pops mod themselves on a planet.

They change to their preferred habitat, so I will try colonizing a tomb world and getting the techs for that event chain and see if they adopt tomb world.

Here are some mutants from my game.


Also Very Strong+Strong on your mutants.
That's pretty great.


Primitives can also have more trait point than the limit btw.

Just integrate them. If they're newly enlightened it won't take too long even if they do hate you, whereas if you release and attack you'll get threat from all your neighbours.

>>145869954
If you integrate them, they'll be unhappy and join factions. On the other hand if you have right policies you could purge or enslave them.

I'm not sure how to deal with them hating. My protectorates stayed loyal.

I think I might be fucked, but it's not all that bad. I have very good relations with everyone around me and I have never been to war with anyone.

The problem is that I can't expand and I need better planets.

What do?

Should I just wait for them to go to war with their powerful neighbors, join in and a try to get a foothold some place else so I can expand there? I have military access to every neighbor, but my military is quite shit because I keep running low on energy.

They need to add some costly meta human techs only in limited supply. Covert operations which would allow weaker empires to destroy assets of a rival empire. Make things more diverse instead blob A goes to Blob B. Even different victory conditions for crying out loud.

So Anons, after looking on all of the forums on using the Maya Exporter and having some rudimentary experience with layering images and animation in other games, I plan on making a Pepe race.

It shouldn't be too tough, I just need a solid collection of rare Pepes to animate, so I need your suggestions, you neets.

Anyone playing the latest community patch for civ V? It's improved a lot since I last played it, they've fleshed out vassalage and corporations.

The AI seems better at combat as well, they build large armies and attack en masse, don't do stupid shit like embarking units right next to your navy etc...

They also added an event system which is pretty neat

Star Ruler 2 is great dude. I find all the techs and constructions really capture the feeling of progressing through different galactic ages. Starting off small and then years later in-game all your support ships are bigger than your largest starting ship. Building artificial planets and crafting solar systems with ancient artifacts.

I'll agree that some stuff has been simplified and heavily automated. But I find it reduces micromanagement that non-auto mechanics could have brought up.

>>145908718

Some days ago I posted and some guy said he was gonna try it... How did it go? I need feedback.

Human Exodus Mod:
1.- 19 prescripted human civilizations inspired in real life countries. They include their own name lists (ships, people, planets), 'species', description and ruler title.

2.- Human portraits have been divided into the 5 different races (hispanic, caucasian, african, middle eastern, asian) plus a 'diverse' portrait wich includes all.

3.- No non-human civilizations (except fallen and primitives) will apear in-game if you initiate the game with one of the following:
a)You choose one of the pre-built civs and add 18 or less AI's.
b)You make a new civ and add 19 or less AI's.

4.- There can't be 'human' fallen empires, pre-sentients or primitives, except, maybe, whatever comes out in the random 'Sol' the game creates.

5.- Humans now have their own species category.

6.- You can create new empires, but only human.

These guys brought in the Unbidden, and the Unbidden threat is being dealt with without too much trouble from the looks of it.

But even now, they're still taking on an entire Federation and winning without any trouble.

>>145941608
I'm using the Beautiful Universe mod, which pulls a bunch of skyboxes from various sources including EVE. The galactic map could be made to look better, but probably not possible while the background for that is static.

So here's a probably retarded question.

The city-state songs in Civ 5, are those based off of something like national themes?
Basically I want longer versions of some of them. I like a lot of them like Sidon and Columbia.

Do Tomb Worlds benefit from adaptive species? Habitability is still listed as 10% even for those races in my empire that are adaptive.

Thoughts on Civ VI so far?

I don't understand this.

Why does basically everyone relevant in the galaxy just fucking love me? Those three on the top are protective or me and will fuck up anyone who tries to fuck with me and most of the others are on -+20 in relations with me.

I'm not even allied and military is pathetic and the only war I've had to fight is against Prethoryn and even then, Haahn Directorate came over and destroyed them for me.

Wtf is going on here?

notice how in tng and ds9 space is dark, except when it's relevant to the plot. in the newer movies there is some "nebula" behind the ship every fucking scene

[citation fucking needed] because even ES1 factions' traits were completely customisable and swappable by default, plus it had mod support.

>>145952496

This.
Furthermore, ES2 will probably not be incomplete at launch, we will not have to wait for fucking DLC to get more victory conditions that aren't "blob the fuck out".
Plus, at least ES lore is good and interesting.

>Can't modify species if you don't control their homeworld

This is retarded. I want to make my Tomb World colonists become agrarian, but the game won't let me.

This is a fair critique, but I've been looking at the vacuous inky blackness since May 9th and don't have the infinite-void-god psyche that can do so indefinately without getting bored.
So yes, fingerpaint, sue me.

I feel that increasing leader levels via democracy, species, or Selected Lineage is a bad thing in the long run. It leaves less chance for developing extra traits from leveling in general.

>>145953550
Yes you can? Try clicking on Empire/Galaxy on the top of the page to alternate between species that are actually in your territory

Earlier I said that it looked like the Unbidden threat was being dealt with. Indeed, the Unbidden would 'grow' by a system from the portal it started in, but then lose it soon after. This just from the Seban Union and what I suspect is a FE to the south.

That is, until the same federation that keeps pissing off the Holy World FE declared war on the Seban Union, taking advantage of their fight against the Unbidden. After 'liberating' some of the Seban Union worlds and making them a vassal of one of the Federation members, it looks like the Seban Union has finally been weakened enough that the Unbidden is now beginning to reach their remaining systems.

Hey guys, I'm trying to write a description for my race, is there any way to space the text, or is it just one big blotch I'm confined to?

>>145955547
You can copypaste white space into it, but at least for me it broke the text the next time I loaded the game.

I hope someone else figures out a better way soon.

If the Unbidden portal appeared that close to my homeworld those 40 years ago while I was fighting the then alliance that'd later become the Grand Entete Federation that pisses off everyone, I don't think I'd be able to do it without losses.
