You should change it to having a tier 2 bonus instead. Your zero-cost traits have merit, but the bonus should still be felt. Consider applying random chance with meagre returns. You'll get a "Huh" factor and that's all you need.

>>148152190
Guy who asked about stellaris vs distant worlds here. I went ahead and bought Stellaris since it was cheaper... I'm getting just about one day every second on the fastest speed. Is this by any measure 'good'? "Normal" and "Fast" seem to go about the same speed to me. Other than that I'm not noticing the usual Paradox lag (Crusader Kings II, HoIIV, Victoria, EUIV, etc), and aside from some slowdowns the menu seems pretty fluid. Mind you that this is on version 1.0.0, and the patch is downloading right now.

Well, actually, not the fascces but just the axes minus the fasces.

>I'm getting just about one day every second on the fastest speed. Is this by any measure 'good'?
pretty sure speed is capped regardless of your PC's performance

>>148152717
Just patch it.

I had that problem in 1.0, but with 1.1 and later it runs fast enough on fast or very fast, even in lategame in a 1000 star galaxy.

Some mod recommendations if I want to turn my stellaris game into battle tech?

Anyone play endless legend in here?

If so, is the latest expansion worth it?

>>148157434
Worth what? Money? If you're a pirate definitely download it, it only improves the game IMO. If you want to buy it, I guess that depends on your financial situation, you can buy it on sale I guess

Talking about Shifters right? They haven't released a new expansion after that, yet?

rolling nigga

What should my research priorities be in Stellaris? I just got the game, and I've basically focused entirely on unlocking destroyers and getting new ship parts. Am I doing this right?
How much science output should I be shooting for in the earlygame? These techs are rolling by painfully slowly, and I feel like I'm getting outpaced hard.

>>148164040

Are you expanding hard? More planets = more research cost

Wich in time should be offset by the new science labs.

>>148164558
How hard is expanding hard? I colonized a nearby planet and have maybe two or three frontier outposts.

>>148164837
Whats the year, I think the guide line is your first colony by 2208, your second by 2013 or something similar.

>yfw some alien FUCK decides to settle in the middle of your empire

Civilization 6 is looking like a pretty good game desu. I'm much more optimistic for it than I was about CiV.

Are you guys okay with the fact that energy is the main bottleneck in planetary/military expansion? Because to be quite frank, I'm not okay with it.

It feels like the mineral income was balanced around constantly rebuilding ships and/or replacing building as your empire's priorities change. But the thing is that as warmonger-friendly as this game is, constant warfare to the point of requiring complete fleet rebuild is rare, and replacing buildings to meet demand is a stupid idea given the ludicrously slow construction speed. The only time I've found myself starved for minerals was when three empires wardec'd me at once, and that was mainly because I had no dedicated "minerals only" planet to begin with.

Really, buildings in general needs to have their energy cost reduced severely or generator output needs to be improved significantly. Hell, I'd even be okay with being able to replace one building with another of same tier as long as you have the tech for it.

>>148171641
Thanks. Shit is small.

>>148175434
You can just dump your excess minerals onto AIs for energy whenever your short, so unless you're totally isolated diplo wise, it's not much of a limit.

>>148178460
In civ IV on harder difficulites, you had to think when choosing your tech. Wrong choice could fuck up your entire game.

Now even that will be choosen by the game for you. You cannot even lose by fucking up your tech priorities.

I would also argue that new worker system is more casual friendly then the old one.

>>148178934
>Now even that will be choosen by the game for you.

chosen is the wrong word, i meant "solved by the game"

I dig the workers have charges so you don't have some eternal slave for thousands of years, but I don't like the instant build times. Maybe 1/2/3/4 turn builds on quick through to marathon speed

>>148178934
well, I wouldnt really say that, I'd say its different. techs are now spread across culture and science, so now a science based civ wont dominate like in civ 5. the eurekas seem a bit much to be able to just halve times, but the techs might take a while to research normally and they might get really difficult later on (not just building a mine or chopping down a tree or whatever.)
workers are a bit more casual, maybe? but I think they're just different. space matters a lot more because of districts, and the charges mean that you cant just fill up your territories with farms and whatnot, and then replace them easily with districts later. you have to constantly be building fresh workers, taking up production. im not a fan of the instant build times but oh well. also them removing worker automation means that it might be less casual friendly because shitters are going to be stuck more on what they want to do, instead of just letting the ai handle it. (and yea, a lot of people used automation)

Why does everyone love civilization series so much? It doesn't seem like a particularly special 4x game. The combat sysetm is so boring I've never been able to get into it

>>148152717

I actually just reinstalled Distant Worlds Universe after playing Stellaris. First played Distant Worlds around its release date. So much better than Stellaris in my opinion, but Paradox games need a lot of time to become a full game. We'll see

All I want from civ 6 is a competent AI that doesn't settle dumpster 1 tile tundra island cities 10 turns from the end of the game, or try to jew you over on every trade because 1:1 on luxuries you both have duplicates on is not fair or something, or harass you with endless prophets even after you ask them to stop, then get grumpy when you attack any prophets he sends into your lands or towards your city state allies.

>>148178934
I'm not seeing an argument. There is still a tech tree.

>>148179374
Because of the leaders.
You can see it with Beyond Earth, basically an identical game but the leaders are fictional people that have no story, and no one talks about it.

Was it the Imperial German Portraits mod? Think I have that

So, I'm currently playing the following:
>Traits: Industrious, Thrifty, Sedentary, Slow Breeders.
>Ethos: Fanatic Spiritualist, Collectivist.
>Government: Plutocratic Oligarchy.

Fanatic Spiritualist removes the Slow Breeders penalty, and I get a +20% income on Energy and Minerals, along with a -25% cost in Mining Stations. Collectivist allows me to enslave, relocate, and purge divergent pops, should any occur despite my significant bonus to conformity.

My question is, how do Sectors handle slavery? If they handle it well enough, should I exchange Slow Breeders for Decadent?

Additionally, does anyone know what the icon that I've posted means? I get the symbolism behind the laurel of wheat, but what are the two mirrored shapes in the center?

I seriously regret not taking the ability to enslave or purge people. Putting up with unhappy people is so stupidly hard.

>>148193874
>identifying your empire as a horse's ass

Sectors enslave anyone if it will produce a higher resource yield I think. So basically all minerals/farms will have someone enslaved on it. They won't address faction issues or anything.

>>148195091
it's such a pain when orbital mind control and edicts and -%ethics divergence buildings and +%happiness buildings don't work.

>>148195230
Oh, that's fantastic; so I won't need to worry about the happiness penalty of Decadent, and the Fanatic Spiritualism will help create new pops faster.

Thank you!

>identifying your empire as a horse's ass

Yeah, yeah; I'll go with the bull's head symbol.

>>148195349
>don't work
do all of those things just don't work?

>>148196246
The happiness buildings do but the ethics divergence stuff just never seems to change my pops. I will never not go collectivist because you cant get rid of pops with different ethics any other way.

Despotic Empire or Plutocratic Oligarchy?

>>148197207
Going individualist is suicide; it's ridiculous that you can't enforce your will on your population.

>>148197268
>Going individualist is suicide
exactly. It's bizarre how often an individualist empire will produce pops that have non individualist ethics. It's like they want less freedom.

I was wondering because I was researching those tech that gave +5% to damage and rate of fire but my military power wasn't going up

How the fuck is it that I have a Hyperlane only game and my enemies are discovering psi Jump Drives

certain AI has the prereqs for the psi jump drive but other AI also has the psi jump drive despite not having ANY of the requirements for it.

I keep going to war with these bastards and I can't seem to discover the drives in the wreckage to research it at all

>>148203197
Oh, might be a bug, either not adding the damage at all or not updating the numbers from it. Maybe test out with other tech if you can be bothered?

>>148203374
anyone can get jump drives I thought?

>>148203576
I have the game set to Hyperlane only but Psi Jump Drive is the only other drive technology I can find in this.

>>148203670
Psi techs are their own special sub tree unlocked by ethos,. that's probably why.
Are the people with the Psi drives all Spiritual by any chance..?

>>148203942
2 of them are but this other one has none of the requisits which is making me really question if this is a big

>>148204060
Is the other one of the same species as one of the spiritual empires? They might have rebelled from ethics divergence after the tech was researched.

>>148204060
What are the prerequisites for it, apart from highest level of drive tech researched? I thought it was just down to RNG and that spiritualists get a higher chance and materialists get a lower chance of getting it

>>148204163
Its a major empire in very late game, they're still in power and haven't had an ethics change

They are a Collectivist but they don't have that 2nd requirement in purple

It appears you have to be some form collectivist or spiritualist.

Civ VI leader reveals are on tuesdays, right? So, how many hours do we have until the new reveal, do any of you know?

>>148201809
I got this "vote yes" and "vote no" shit on declare war when a race was declaring war on me in a previous game.

Is it a bug?

I think the populus that wants you to go to war with them will keep asking until they get discouraged

Shoshone. Liberty or tradition? Best victory? They seem fun, and I'd like to play them

>>148205861
Shoshone is one of the versatile civs, you can really do what you want to do with them. Just make sure to have enough of their special scouts to get shitload of ruins
>Liberty or tradition
Depending on your land and your preferred victory. Scout your land for a while and then after choose it
>Best victory
Literally anything you want. Thanks to their scout you can get good early population from ruins which help with pretty much every victory, mostly science. You can get early faith ruins which help religion which greatly helps culture victory. Or you can go domination when their UU comes to play

I usually go science with them. Early population + the ability to grab lands very quick so your city can work the best tiles early really help

>>148205861
Tradition is usually OP but going wide makes better use of their UA, so Liberty is a distinct option.

Neb, he was based as hell and a great man

>>148214171
Whatever are you're in, always have a few siege towers unupgraded, that bonus is too great to lose

I last played Assyria a while ago, IIRC there was a trick about them. I think if you embarked a siege tower, you could actually put naval units on the same tile and they would still give bonus to both naval and land units nearby. So they can't be attacked and give 50% bonus to every unit nearby, makes them great

Also another tip, when I was playing Assyria I didn't annex/puppet cities, I simply razed them because of their UA. IIRC, their UA gives you one tech for one city, so if you conquer a city and then lose it and conquer it again you don't get a tech, but if you raze it and other civs settle the same city again, you still get the tech when you conquer it. And seeing how expansionist the AI is that tactic works great, you can become the best civ in the game in really short time as Assyrians

CONT.

So we couldn't vassalize the bharatis, we were missing a mere 15 points, so if you cant go against them, join them!. We have now formed a federation with the Americans, the Euros and the Bharatis.

The Dharma foundation and the Heaven's mandate have expanded explosively in the galactic west and have now cockblocked the brasilians who where trying to start again after the mandate took their homeworld.

Our migration treaties have bear fruit now, and there are mexicans living in 5 empires now, either by direct migration, or triangulated.

Forgot to add, that after forming the federation, our fist act as founder president was to 'liberate' more nigerian planets. We learned from our past mistakes and this time we only liberated two, wich were easily vassalized then.

On other news, the malays have crushed (unsurprisingly) the fanatic pacifists transafricans are now one of the lasgest civilizations ever.

The bolivarians (south americans) jumped on the bandwagon and took the transafrican homeworld for themselves.

The yayois have started conquering too, the pacifist way, integrating their alien subjects, a king of concious fungal infection. I'm trying not to judge.

The Imperial German Portraits mod?
It's well made, the military uniforms are really nice. Did you make them yourself, or got them from somewhere?

It works just fine in 1.2.1. I don't think it'll ever break, unless Paradox changes something about portraits and empire creation.

>>148221886
If you uplift them, the planet becomes yours.

And the uplifted species gets a pretty big happiness bonus (20%?) while they live under your rule, because you uplifted them.

And finally, you get a species whose ethics you can pretty much tailor to what you want and maybe they can settle planets for you that you'd otherwise have to terraform first (or that would require you to genemod your own settlers).

Though if you already want their planet, the latter point might not be the case.

You know I see the spooky mysterious angle they go for with the trailers

But stellaris basically has no significant gameplay mechanics that make the universe feel mysterious or threatening, it just becomes methodical

I mean the politics stuff, especially when you throw other human players into the mix is interesting still, as it is with HoI or EU, but the exploration angle they like to go with for Stellaris is just kind of a let down.

I mean with how common and un-unique basically everything is in the generated galaxies, how few unique events there truly is and how the spess aliens are always exactly the same, it's predictable, ultimately while you can make up your own stories with interactions of empires, the base game itself really fails to deliver anything like that.

steam has final control over pricing, they pay for keys that they sell on to customers

either way steam doesn't actually hike or lower prices if they can ever help it, even if it reduces profit per unit, because it means more volume of sale

that being said, £50 games are not a recent thing but a lot of jew publishers pull that shit. Star Wars Battlefront was a whopping 105 fucking GBP on release for the ultimate edition

Firaxis is known for jewing, not as bad as EA but certainly no angels. Paradox are almost as bad, but their prices aren't QUITE as high.

Defense Stations are very useful in the beginning. I strongly recommend gettin to Fortress, the biggest one, before the one hundred years of game. They cannot go higher than 6k of military power at the most, so when the enemy fleets start getting higher than that their only function is to slow them down.

>>148272954
But she was a strong independent women who wasn't a huge bitch like today's feminists.
Strong women that aren't bitches are my fetish, like Samus, the Empress from Dishonored, the mother Vorhees.

Tell me about your mother, anon

>>148273534
I never had a mother. I used to like female video game characters for this reason, they gave me the feeling I had a family, even if it was a false one that only existed in a game.
This is why I really loved Samus. She was a strong woman to be admired, without being obnoxious, without being weak like so many characters are. Some say Samus is fine waifu material, I say she's perfect mother material. Until Other M ruined her and made her an emotional, submissive wreck who needs people to command her around.

I just have a weak spot for games that give you characters to care about. There's your brother Paul Denton in Deus Ex, your father in Fallout 3, your daughter (maybe) in Dishonored.
These games give me the feeling I have a family.

>>148273954
It was just a meme, anon
But it's good that you opened up

>>148274130
I just want a family, okay? I want a wife, I want kids that I can train to be good at CKII, I want a stepfamily that I can embarrass by talking about Robert d'Artois' shenanigans that triggered a damn war, by talking about how Toutankhamon was actually trying really hard to unfuck what Akhenaton caused.

I don't want to be alone, and yet I'm too old and too used to being single to ever find anyone, so the only way to live my dream is by playing video games and pretend I'm some happy family man.
My life is sad. I hate myself.

Consider how many people play to the late-game then get bored and start a new game.

Voila! Fallen Empire.

>>148267969
>so why are they fallen?
go read Asimov, anon

>>148267969

Because they are generally content with their lot in life

They still keep a massive navy around because they know what happens to empires without navies, and focus on turning what they have into a small heaven for their species

>>148274654
So basically Fallen Empires got so wealthy, that the core worlds failed to notice their empire collapsing around their perimeters? Maybe it was combined with several planet-level extinction events caused by mis-use of technology and/or natural disasters; and maybe invasions from other empires and extragalactic threats, I presume?

Some Fallen Empires get instantly butthurt if you research Synthetic-level AI. Maybe this is a hint that their main empire was largely destroyed by rogue AI in the bast.

For inhabited systems, build a FTL snare fortress on the farthest perimeter, away from orbital stations. This gives you more time to deal with them.

Around the inhabited planet itself, build a fortress with all large, long-range weapons. 2 UV Lasers and 2 Antimatter Missile Launchers, for example. If you get Particle Lances or Tachyon Lances though, go with them; because they have the longest range in the game. Give these stations nanobot repair clouds, so they can help your fleet mount a final defense, if necessary.

>>148274654

I thought you meant go read the patch notes for 1.2 kek

It'd be cool as fuck if you could research ring worlds

but for the moment I'm content with the ability to have xenomorph armies riding xeno mounts

>>148278459
There are some mods where you can repair them
Building them is a bit out of scope

>>148278459
Dear god, I imagined a bunch of Aliens riding horses, and that idea was silly.

so anyone have any suggestions for a fix to the warscore? as an aggressive military empire the forced peace after every drive by shooting in space is killing me.

No, it's not that they were 'brilliant but lazy', but that they reached the point where they stopped needing to advance and had reached post-scarcity.
This obviously isn't possible with humans who will never have enough and always want even better shit, but a species which hypothetically has a point where they don't really want anything more will just stagnate at the top.

>>148272954

I can just bing tits and see hundreds of them, no way they could compete with that, no matter what

For fuck's sake anon, do you need to examine tits by criteria? Nice-looking tits are pretty much instinctive.

I feel like I'm the bad guy in this war, but it feels so fucking good.

Semi-related, but why is glassing *not* a thing in this game? I don't WANT to conquer their worlds, I want to burn them.

>>148294650
No, you have to conquer and then purge.

>>148294650
It is since the lastest patch, you can enforce them to abandon plantes as a wargoal, it's as if the pops were all purged

>>148294795
That's not what glassing means anon.

I can't be the only one that thinks this is stupid.

Glassing is pretty much one of the cornerstones of any good Space Opera featuring Total War, I would've thought with my Tachyon Beams I could at least scorch some continents and boil some seas.

This is going to be in DLC, isn't it.

>>148294795

That's forcibly relocating a population.

Glassing is when your ships open fire on the world and destroy any chance it has at sustaining life, much less a civilization.

>>148294935
Not in the Honorverse.

Maaaaaaaan

Forget that. The fact that you have Mass Drivers accelerating significant masses to 90+% the speed of light means that shooting a planet ONCE should literally obliterate it, or blow apart half of it and vaporize the other half. Meanwhile top-end energy weapons should vaporize the surface and literally serve as a source of propulsion for the planet out of orbit or into their star.

I can't believe throughout the entire process of making Stellaris that not one of the development team members brought up the idea of using ship-mounted weaponry to systematically destroy a world, rather than simply drop a few bombs on some Space Bunkers.

I mean god damn, they've already got Tomb Worlds and Molten Worlds, why can't they just have a sufficiently powerful fleet, given time, turn a world into a Molten/Tomb world?

>>148295136

That's when you start the purges, buddy.

It feels so good to genetically engineer a Very Strong race purely for super-soldiery, and it helps they've got Irradiated.
