It's pretty good. My only major gripe with it was city buildings felt pointless, it never really felt like I had a real choice to make and it pretty much just boiled down to putting literally everything in a queue and leaving it be for 40 turns.

>>159816187
It's interesting and fun for at least a few plays, lots of flavour and all the factions play very uniquely in comparison to civ factions. The balance is kinda wonky though and getting a good start is very important on higher difficulties because of how insane the start differences you can get are.

Like, in civ 5 or 6 a good start just means a slight edge on early food or production usually. Outside of natural wonders (especially on civ 5 Spain) and maybe a god tier petra city (and river in civ 6) there isn't a huge disparity in most starts unless you get really unlucky tundra or flat desert or something.

In Endless Legend a really good start could kick you off with like 10 food and science per turn, 15 something production, and a few dust, because every region has a few super tiles that insane bonuses and if you happen to have a few of them within range of the initial settle you have a huge advantage. Meanwhile. sometimes you get unlucky and can't get a settle any better than like 5-7 food and production and 3-5 dust and science.

How are you installing them exactly? If your downloading them from stellaris.smods, then when you unpack them you should get a folder and a .MOD file. Put the MOD file in C:\Users\(whatever your username is)\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\mod

and the folder in: C:\Users\(Insert Username)\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\workshop\content\281990

Just make the 281990 folder if you have too. I've been doing it like this and every mod works on my pirated version.

>>159820146
It works fine for me. Do you have the CODEX-version?

I was downloading them from the archive in the OP, which I think just automatically downloads them from the Steam Workshop and uploads them to Mega. Anyways, they come like this, without a .mod file, so I had to create one and do it properly.

I actually managed to get them working right now, with some finagling.

>>159821870

you want as much (non-desert/tundra) territory as possible, but it takes a while until a new city starts to break even.

expand too quickly and you end up broke/behind in science from maintenance

expand too slowly and someone else grabs all the nice city sites

there's a lot of nuance to it since the costs are actually pretty well balanced

I keep winning most battles against the Bugmen fairly easily.
Mostly this comes from my main fleet, which is systematically bombing all their planets, I've also raised a smaller rapid response fleet to protect my own space.
Even when outnumbered, my Battleships are able to take on their roughly equivalent Dreadnoughts because while both of us sport shield-penetrating heavy railguns, I have force fields, which do stop projectiles. Essentially I can shoot straight through their shields and they can't do a thing against me.

>>159856145
That's my humble plan.
To exterminate all non-enslaved Xenos in the galaxy.

Their home system has already been entirely depopulated, and a lot of the planets in former Human space has rebelled against them.

>>159858403
Petra doesn't give you bonuses for flood plains so it's not that good, but you have a few desert hills there so it's still alright.

What would be really good is getting the pantheon that gives you production on flood plains.

He's right though. Astronauts tend to have red faces and skinny legs due to blood tending to remain in their center of mass, rather than being dragged down into their legs by gravity.

try using the console for it, open the galactic map
open console with `

to see faction IDs
reverse_diplo action_leave_federation XX
XX is the id number of the federation member that will tell you they are leaving
if its more than 2 try this
reverse_diplo action_revoke_federation_association_status XX
or this
reverse_diplo action_kick_from_federation XX
where XX is the federation that will tell you you are kicked
i dont know if it will work really, if it doesnt check the list of diplomatic actions here
Stellaris\common\diplomatic_actions
and keep trying with different things
reverse_diplo is used to force the XX faction to do the action

So what does the current version of the NQ mod bring to the table?

I noticed in a stream they had unfucked sea resource tiles (They now give 1 less gold but 1 more production instead, like in Civ5, making them no longer absolutely fucking useless).

You know, even after all the shit, I really didn't think reviewers got paid for reviews. I thought it was a bunch of tinfoil hat shit or if it was true, it was really limited. But after the universal reception for civ 6, yeah.

They are fucking getting paid. There is no doubt anymore. Fucking gaming """journalists""" man.

>>159872314
The media is the first line of influence and also the easiest way to turn money into control.

>>159872314
Got me to buy the game, unfortunately, even though I had to finagle with my computer for having extra files preventing the game to run and also with GMG to get my keys exchanged...

I was so close, I pirated it and tried it....why oh why did I not finish the game first and decide if the AI is super retarded instead of buying it outright because reviews and great remarks on youtubes on release day....

>>159872314
Why not to trust large media publications on game reviews:

They don't want to piss off the companies whose games they are reviewing, lest they don't get access to early review copies, causing their reviews to be late and less traffic going to their articles/videos, meaning less relevance, meaning less revenue.

If you're only finding this out about IGN, Gamespot, etc until now then I gotta ask you my man: have you been living under a rock?

As a rule of thumb, independent reviewers are the only ones you should give a shit about. And even then you have to be skeptical of them too. But pay articular attention to those who get black listed for telling too many truths, because at least you know they give a crap about saying their actual opinion and not carefully thought out words to not piss off anybody.

>>159871092

Weird, because it seems like the term shill has been a thing for as long as 4chan has existed.

would an SSD help me to get rid of the lag I'm having with Civ and Stellaris?

especially the ironman auto-save is killing me

HELP!

I've built up a close relationship with my neighbour, Scythia, but they're at war with a nearby city-state that I've since become the suzerain of.

Now the city state fights back at the troops around it, but Scythia won't ever actually attack it. They just keep sending more troops to the city.

It's currently pic related, and the troops are beginning to concern me, is there anything other than "WARRRRRR" which can get Scythia to calm the fuck down?

>>159876650
nope

>>159876650
too many fucking horses

I really thought we could co-exist.

Civilization VI: Aztec or Rome?

Aztecs build Districts more quickly, but Rome gets a ton of free stuff, right?

>>159877720
his plan is to stop you from expanding by surrounding every single workable tile in your Civ with horses. No more workers or settlers that can move out.

Depends on your playstyle, if you're going for early war Aztecs are probably better

>>159877342
And ban all of the luxuries.

>>159877892
But for an all-around, more balanced play-through to explore the game and learn its systems?

>>159877952
>embargo trading with other civs
>use all the gold you have been saving for 100 turns to buy all citystates
>declare war on all civs
>enemy civs are now at war with all citystates
>ban their luxuries
>watch as all of their economies and happiness collapses

Even the deity AI with all its cheat bonuses couldn't survive that.

>>159878114
Learn the game? I'd say Aztecs. Rome gives you free roads and trade things I can't remember the name of, whereas I think Aztecs are more closer to vanilla where you have to do these things yourself so you learn how they work

>>159878494
Oh, okay, good stuff.

Thanks!

I wish you could make a declaration, something like if you declare war on me I will raze all your cities, that would negate your warmonger, but would automatically raze all conquered cities.

>>159878494
Free trading posts, one free building (usually monument), free roads.

In Endless legend, do Altars of Auriga work as buroughs and dont fuck the city quest for the Cultists?

The people not part of thing get to decide what thing is.

Any tips for playing as a fascist Greece in Hearts of Iron 4?

We start out with no air force, no tanks, no artillery, a pitiful army, and somewhat decent small navy.

It took me half of 1936 just to get full supplies for the divisions I started with.

I've gotten to Political Focus: Nationalism now, and I have a 30% fascist parliament. Also, I'm kissing-up to Mussolini and Hitler so hopefully they won't invade me right off the bat.

I don't think so.
4x games are just hard to get good reviews for since the reviewers are rubbish at the games and can't judge them.

Yes.

>>159884181

That was the insult. I did that after calling into question the implication that Group B can declare the goal of Group A instead of Group A itself.

What is the point of diplomacy if the other civs are bending over backwards to find a reason to hate you? Why not just DOW every civ you see as soon as you see them?

>>159887370
