when i first heard of sectors and governors i thought the downside would be that the ethics system would lead them to be their own mini empires inside yours with their own demands and eventually a possible want for their own country

I kept my first sectors small because I was afraid of exactly that.

I feel like some of the early dev diaries may have implied this. I guess it's more likely they said something vague and we assumed sectors would be like CK2 vassals (fun) and not like they currently are (functional if we are being generous but certainly not fun).

Jeb Bush 2012 posted:You can't reasonably expect sectors to be as good as manual management. Why not though? At least for your basic "make the most out of availible bonuses" there's nothing ultra complex that only a human would be able to do it. It's basic math. The kind of basic math a Civ game does every time you auto-specialize one of your cities.

Something's come up, and I'm not sure who to ask, so I'll ask here. Is there any reason, any at all, why one would randomly start a game and have only 1 pop to start on your starting planet rather than 5?

I feel like the game needs a way to encourage people and AI not to just deathblob their entire fleet. Say a logistics penalty that gives diminishing returns for each extra ship in the sector, or a drastically reduced FTL speed that increases through the course of the game as empires get bigger. Just something that doesn't boil wars down to doomstack vs doomstack, esp earlier in the game. Other Paradox games have gotten this right in their naval sections so I assume it's possible here.

There's a few mods on the workshop to do things like this, but their major issue is that they don't hook into the AI at all.

Something similar, but weirder keeps happening to me when I mod new maps: I do basic stuff like more stars and larger nebulas, and half the time my own empire doesn't spawn, or another empire instantly wins. What am I doing wrong here?

OwlFancier posted:Give me Chancellor loving Gowron and his crazy motherfucking eyes and incomprehensible screaming line delivery! He's got a lot of range. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H64l5BsFokM&t=44s I started as pacifist / egalitarian / xenophile and played as if I was militarist once I got a federation going with neighboring xenophile empires. Midgame turned into waiting for truce timers to expire and then picking a neighbor to dogpile with Liberate war demands. Vassal / integrate, rinse / repeat. One problem with my promiscuous alliance-building was associate members routinely being at war with each other, with defense pacts kicking off annoying fratricidal wars within the federation. The final war with the last unfederated empire wound up with my 320k doomstack encountering a 450k doomstack belonging to the defense-pacted associate member who therefore was red-while-associated. Battle wasn't going well for me until the Federation starfleet jumped in behind them unexpectedly. I should have sent a story-telling guy to tell this story, it was the highlight of this multi-century game.  The grey empires are vassals of federation members. The 60% victory happened some time ago, now I'm just gardening the universe. Duodecimal fucked around with this message at 03:43 on Jul 26, 2017 |

I'd really love a hyperlanes map that was made up of isolated clusters, creating large spaces of highly interconnected stars with a much smaller number of incredibly long range lanes linking them all together. E: Well, it turns out that there's a map editor tool that would allow me to basically do exactly this. turn off the TV fucked around with this message at 02:19 on Jul 27, 2017 |

More map types and methods of navigating them would be a major boon to the game I think, as strategic maneuvering like that is probably one of the most significant parts of combat.

I'm deep into my first game. I'm enjoying myself so far, but it's really disappointing to see Paradox fall into the same checkbox thinking of 4x design that has plagued the genre. The planetary build grid is obviously the worst offender, especially since you can see a vastly better system in Endless Space. Hopefully future updates push the game away from trying to be a Masters of Orion and more towards grand strategy.
