yeah that stuff is cool, I like the sound of agitators too. historical ones are neat but dynamic ones are most interesting given how wacky the world can end up

nothing really that makes it worthwhile compared to ck2 imo. i really want to get into stellaris again but i played it like 5 years ago and it's a totally new game now which confuses the hell out of me

i liked old stellaris but the new stuff is really good. its way more of a cross between 4x and other paradox games now rather than just 4x.

but also i like all of the stupid eu4 and hoi4 mechanics they keep adding so i might just be completely broken.

I’m interested to know what you mean by a cross between because I haven’t played a minute of Stellaris and always thought it was just a 4x game based on a friend talking it up some time back so I’m curious.

i love that trade routes go through gateways if you build them, so once your empire becomes advanced enough you effectively can eliminate piracy by putting gateways all over the place and in your home system - it sends the trade directly there. makes the trade route map look awesome as well.

the problem with stellaris imho is that the mechanics are just unengaging and solvable, it was really the narrative content that kept me hooked the first few playthroughs

number go up game is now Victoria 3 so I'm not sure what itch it'll scratch anymore

They're most fun when you're cooping it up and your player alliance's succession method is your leaders (who have naturally short lifespans, so this happens often) fighting to the death in an arena! :D

But yeah it's a very fun game, but the narrative element in your early playthroughs really does help make it shine

the gigastructures mod for stellaris is pretty fun if you're a maniac. turning an entire solar system into a gigantic weapon is ftw

new agitator system is good, makes laws a lot more consistent. i think that part of the game is too easy though.
they need more country specific flavor like france has. eu4 country-specific missions are fun

I think the conflict mechanics in the Iberian peninsula they added in CK3 is cool but if that's all they ever do with it that would be a shame. I hope they do similar things in other regions/historical conflicts.

hit max cash as the Goldscale Kobolds in Anbennar without a coast lol. I have sailors because I borrowed my friend's provinces for a few of my missions



They have a cool mission tree which leads into a unique republic with 6 different factions and you get unique bonuses based on which faction is in power, but if the Command falls apart by itself by attacking the demon hills like it did in this run then its tricky to finish some of the later missions. Once you finish the whole tree you can spread a kobold minority to every province you have an infantry on so I had like 100 separate armies at the end lol



Looking forward to the next update, what they're doing with fantasy africa seems really cool
