This may be bugged to never happen, or to happen and then not spawn the anomaly. Have fun! Yeah this triggered last night. Also the ascended keepers or whoever they are let me into their space after i gave them a scientist so I can finish another chain as well. So far this game ia going quite well, everybody wants to join my federation except for some bug looking fuckers who look like they're in need of 'liberation'.

The only problem with this is now I don't know whether it'll be better to enslave and eat other cultures immediately or just wipe their star systems from existence to freeze them for later snacks.

So I've been playing the vanilla game for a week or so, enjoying it so far. What are the advantages of splitting your empire into sectors and when should you do that in a game and why?

What are the advantages of splitting your empire into sectors and when should you do that in a game and why? You literally have to if you expand enough. You can only have direct control over your "core worlds" and the rest become AI provinces under your governors that you can issue directives to.

There are plenty of ways to expand core word count, so you can go for a giant micro managed empire. It is a lot of work though...

I bet one of the first mods everyone tries removes the core cap, and the very next one is the autobuild/upgrade mod.

It gets tiresome to build up too many worlds though, especially if you have mods which add buildings of their own.

It should be noted that the core limit is core systems, not planets. If you find a system with 4 habitable planets, they all only count for 1 to the system limit.

Job's a gud 'un.

I do it like this, but with a twist: After a certain time I get lazy and start only doing this for the sector capital. Hell, by being lazy I even noticed I don't have to wait for a sector to colonize, or to tediously build up new worlds for them, I can just drop a colony ship in a sector's territoy and hey, presto: They will gain a new planet. Then I immediately stop giving a crap about the new planet. Basically, I'm going by the old rule "Out of sight, out of mind", when tending to my empire.

I am extremely loving frustrated with how the Rivalry system works. An AI rivaled me and is just barely blocking the way to a bunch of systems I need access to, and there is no way to get it to stop short of invading them and conquering the planet in the way which will piss off most of my factions, my entire federation, etc. Even pumping their relations up to positive again will not cancel the rivalry nor will it enable an open borders option. I can't even wardec for open borders! It's loving terrible.

I think some of it is intentional to compensate for the player not being able to instantly react to whatever building stuff comes up, often lagging for quite a while if an interesting war or whatever is going on. If the AI was really competitive in optimising it's worlds it would make the whole thing a bit too much into an RTS for my taste.

If that's the case, then they should have a non-optimal building planet AI control the AI empires, and an optimal building planet AI control the human controlled empire. But something tells me that it isn't intentional, and that the planet governor AI was designed to treat each planet like a starting planet or first colony, hence tons of farms for population growth to make sure that AI empires didn't starve themselves to death.

It still feels like Imperial needs something more to make it a viable alternative to Dictatorship. Perhaps make Imperial rulers reliably generate a third ruler trait during their reign as a bonus for having zero control over what you get?

Your ruler gets a third trait when they level up and one of the Imperial only civics raises leader skill level so... that kinda exists

It doesn't say that you'll only have one chance per system to roll the event, it just says that you can't constantly go in and out of the same system to do it.

Larry Parrish posted:Your ruler gets a third trait when they level up and one of the Imperial only civics raises leader skill level so... that kinda exists As far as I am aware, once your rulers start at skill 5 due to modifiers they never get a third trait because obtaining a third trait only happens on level up. In practice it rarely even happens if you start at 4 because it's still only a chance on level.
