I have a mod which makes it so you can toggle whether quick movement and combat is on for different situations, like you can make it so everything is quick except for your own combat and movement, and enemy combat if it involves you, optionally also whether it involves your allies fighting against a common enemy, etc. It's pretty handy. I also have one that speeds up plane animations, because I kind of like seeing what the fuck the planes are doing but it takes fucking 10+ seconds per bombing run usually. I'm not sure they thought that one through when they made this game. Thank fuck for mods.

Has anyone been able to buy a city from a civilization in Civ 5? I don't know why they put it as a trade option when it never works. Is it there for ending wars?

>>154816262
I pretty much only use that option as part of a peace deal, so you can get a city without warmonger penalty and it doesn't lose population and buildings.

what's with some civs valuing your open borders to an insane amount? i just had someone pay me 20 gold a turn to open my borders.

I can't think of any reason why it would be that difficult. Use internet bank, enable internet purchases and international payments on your credit card and use it or do the same for your debit and use that.

I have bank accounts in four different countries and it's that difficult in any of them.

Hi, Dido! Don't worry, my units are just passing by.

>>154822434
yes
my base spawned on top of an elven wood stockpile; who was I to deny that?

Also it took me 300 turns with almost every building giving at least attract elves 1 (some had 2; total bonus was something like 13) to get 7 elves (and somehow I got a dwarf off of attract dwarves 1 in the first 50 turns after getting the building)

The highest attract elves bonus you can have total is 20 though so it'll never be fast.
Unless you're being fucked in the ass though it's not a huge loss to not have any attract humans buildings; humans that dont grow up in the village are usually shit. Fucking scavenger recruits.

Dwarves/Elves are usually the best recruitment effect; Demons are a mixed bag but worthwhile and Goblins are practically a straight upgrade on humans
The Liho demon is a better Elf and you will probably never get one
Alternatively if you restore the Cosmic tree you can just trade children for elves

Do you even fucking remember how shitty most 4X games are at release? All the ones praised today as being great 4X games were absolute rubbish once upon a time.

Stellaris actually has more content than most of them did at the same time in their life. And for the first time ever Paradox seems to be actually putting out consistently good updates.

Why are you comparing them at release when your statement was 'it is better than most 4x games'? It has to be better than them right now, as they are right now, for it to be better.
Stellaris right now is literally a 1-3 playthrough game which is pure garbage replayability for a strategy game.

>>154834060
Stellaris' biggest problem is its lack of replayability and inevitable steamroller lategame with nothing to do, and the almost complete lack of any real distinction between playthroughs because once you've explored once (exploration and surveys being the strongest part of the game by far), you've explored a thousand times. There simply aren't enough survey events and these events aren't dynamic enough to last for more than two or three playthroughs.

You you fucking underage faggots fuck off. Shitty AI was LITERALLY the biggest complaint of Civ 5 at release.

>Some reviews were less positive, with the most common criticisms being directed at the game's artificial intelligence. 1UP.com says that the game features an "A.I. that can't play the game," and noted that the game has "some nice innovations that will make it hard to go back to Civilization IV. But in other ways, it's a disappointment that needs a lot more work."[72] Eurogamer gave the game an 8/10 despite their criticism that "the AI in Civ V is still curiously terrible,"[73] while GameShark gave the game a B+ while stating that "the computer opponents are ill equipped for the military side of things."[74]

>>154835105

Mainly because before Stellaris (or, rather, the iteration of /civ4xg/ before Stellaris resurrected it) people didn't sperg the fuck out over reaction images. I'm incredibly sorry that my main reaction folder only has about ten anime images and the rest isn't anime.

Does it make too much difference to my pc to play with 10 Civs and 24 city states?

True that. I don't remember the entire build order by heart, but I tried going for a cultural game. I built Orléans close to Moscow because it was a good spot and I wanted to keep Moscow away from Paris (if they settled in that spot they'd be awfully close). After that I mostly focused on growth and quickly settling 4 cities in the best spots I could get. As far as I'm concerned (and I realize I'm probably wrong) there was no room for me to squeeze out a significant number of units. I did buy an archer and build a wall for Orléans though but it wasn't enough.

>>154837221

You could be doing extra work for your boss during that time and getting a fucking raise instead.

>but how the FUCK do you mess up that badly?

by being a chuckelfuck that knows exactly zero things about running anything at all, kill/kick out everyone that actually knows something and give all important jobs to your chucklefuck "friends" that are more interested in robbing the people blind than actually running the country. All this while the international community is silent for a number of reasons

get this off topic shit outta here

In Stellaris, what is the best starting weapon type?

Did a recent Stellaris patch change uplifting? I used to have 3 trait points while uplifting, but now I only have 1, even though I have all the relevant tech upgrades.

>>154842313
Are you trying to uplift radroaches from Sol III?

They have Adaptive right?
That one is worth 2.
Leaving you with only 1 trait point to play with.

>>154842823

Yeah, I am. Wow, spot on, I was a bit surprised they were called Cockroaches, though it was a little easter egg humorous addition. That's unfortunate though. Oh well, I'll uplift them anyway.

>>154842945
Yeah with their Tomb World preference they'd be ideal to add Intelligent+Natural Physicist(or Sociologist to).
Unless they got Proles of course.

Which presentient trait did yours get?

>>154842823
>radroaches
too much fallout?

>>154843101

Conservative. I wanted to give them the Strong trait so I can start making some xenomorph roaches for armies. I really wanted the Really Strong trait, but guess I won't be getting that. Oh well.

>>154843189
That's what made it a Tomb World.

>>154842945
That isn't the only Earth you can get.

One game i found Earth in the medieval era and another game i found it in WW2.

>>154843189
I didn't know it was a fallout thing.
Just saw that other people referred to them as turks or radroaches and I prefered radroaches.

>>154843248
I'd try looking for an Earthbound presentient for soldiers.

Then either adding Very Strong or Strong+Thrifty for them.

Earthbound gives +% energy and +% army damage.

Or look up a Very Strong species in the species tab.

I'm currently hoping tensions will rise on the planet where I have mutants.
Since there are two events attached to mutants that add Rapid Breeders and Strong.
I already have Very Strong on them so I hope to get both for a +60%.

wth?
so whats up? you still keep playing after restoring the cosmic tree?

Got, the forgotten feel so damn weird later in the game. We are this secret, sneaky culture nobody knows about and we control this entire continent and a few islands.

75k $ and you fooddive/dont have a lawn? How much do you spend on living/rent?

Bumping this.

Any thoughts?

>>154849207
I like missile, but laser might be better so you are safer against bad tachyon rng

My biggest problem with Endless Legend is the lack of disasters. The intro and and lore and theme of the game tell of how shit's going to go down and the world's dying, the last era has this great "the end has come" tune, but nothing actually, you know...happens. Winters get longer and harder, sure, but all that actually does is lower numbers. There's no devastating storms, tectonic upheavals, mountains exploding, coasts and islands sinking into the sea, hideous beasts rising from the earth,...nothing that really says "apocalypse" to me. It just gets a little nippy and that's it.

>>154849575
I know that torpedoes are good to keep your corvettes in firing range, so that they don't have to charge the enemy while your battleships fire from behind, but I figure that you can research them later, by the time the long-range ships actually come into play.

>>154849717
Play Attila and feel the apocalypse with your falling food counter.

>>154849717
Have you actually done the story missions? Shit starts to go tits up as you finish the campaign.

>>154849951
Looks like Antonio Banderas with braids.

>>154849841
By the time you have long range battleships you no longer need torpvettes though.

Missiles ignore evasion, and smaller ships have better evasion.
So I like going missiles and getting torpedoes early.

>>154849951

Fuck her. She replaced my Mongolia.

>>154849927
Once or twice. To many main quests get roadblocked when they tell you to conqueror some city on the other side of the planet you've never even seen.
And it's not really that tits up. Nothing memorable. Oh no, a few fucked up Silic guys, all is lost, I only have this massive veteran army decked out in palladium and an empire spanning the entire damn planet to save me.

>>154850115
Are you saying that I should exchange my torpedoes for lasers, now that I have Gamma?

>>154849951
I can't even tell who that's supposed to be.

DevTorps are probably better, but it doesn't matter much at that point.
You're soon at tachyons.

>>154850541
Yea, you're more or less just stopping a quarter of the way through the campaign. That shit unlocks techs too.

Has there ever been talks of making a newer version of Sid Meyer's Colonization? I liked the Civ 4 version with Religion&Revolution mod.

Why the fuck is this guy concerned about that when I'm alone on my own little island where my cities don't affect him in any way?

Also, Morocco BTFO. Dumbass picked Freedom as his ideology when he has two autocracies surrounding him. Why any of the AI's even pick anything but Order or Autocracy in a domination only game is beyond me.

So will the new Leviathan DLC be just easy to pirate as the plantoid DLC was?

>>154856648
It'll be a free dlc I think. I recall reading on some devdiary that Leviathans will be free.

>>154857931
>>154856648
Found it

https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/stellaris-dev-diary-43-the-fallen.965642/

It says here that Fallen Empires awakening will be a free feature and that feature is a part of the Leviathans DLC.

>>154856648
>Pirating content.

>>154858612
Given they sold us a game that was half-finished and had the audacity to claim that DLC should be 20$, I'm with >>154856648 for once.
