I found an article on save editing, so I may try that. Or just write off the bug as unfortunate but unfixable; it sucks wasting the ascension slots but it's hardly the end of the galaxy.

I loved learning that the various races in SOTS had randomly roled AI templates that dictates combat and diplomacy ends. Liir had two possibilities: Peace-loving space dolphins that want to make nice with everyone. (Presumably the Liir government in control of foreign relations.) Psychodolphins that want to murder everyone else in the star cluster. (Presumably the Black Elder calling the shots.)

So one of the things I liked about CK2 vs EU3 was that CK2 had interesting things to when you became a major power rather than just taking over everything because no one was a threat. This game got a lot of flak for something similar where the endgame was boring. OP says that DLC/patching was focused on correcting that but what sorts of things keep the game interesting once you've become an established power?

Conskill posted:I loved learning that the various races in SOTS had randomly roled AI templates that dictates combat and diplomacy ends. From what I understand, it's more than that. The Liir are totally peaceful happy hippies who love hanging out with you. The problem is, if they happen to see you attacking someone else and bombing their planets, they assume that you are crazy genocidal monsters and respond appropriately, by behaving like crazy genocidal monsters. With bioweapons. Since there's no way to actually fight a war without going bombing planets and going full genocide, either you have to fight all your wars in sectors the Liir aren't in, stand around whistling whenever they come near, or just accept that sooner or later they will turn on you because they think you're a species-murdering threat that must be stopped to protect themselves.

CK2 has you playing the leader themself rather than the nation though, which instantly makes a huge difference to the focus and challenges of the game by default. As far as Stellaris goes the big new thing is mid-game emergencies, such as bandit kingdoms trying to become super powers or Fallen Empires going on the warpath (particularly when any single nation gets past a fleet size threshold), but nothing arises which really reacts to the players nation itself beyond what was just noted.

When did they change it so that you can't use the Assimilator war goal in a defensive war? I provoked a FE into attacking me (so I could get the defensive war bonus), and the only thing I can do is make them say they are sorry. At least I can destroy their fleet so in 10 years I can do it properly.Guilliman posted:Did something and this happened: Wiz, hire this man.

Against a normal empire that isn't going to be a problem since everyone gets the containment total war CB against you but FEs can't (or just won't?) do that, probably to keep them from taking huge blobs of territory without ever awakening.

Not Chemical Bliss. NEVER Chemical Bliss. The +happy doesn't make up for the roughly -45% output(baseline -60 to everything for Bliss, +15 or so for the +40 Happy taking you to 90%...but that's not counting Faction happiness and such). Unless you're seeking the ultimate in challenge starts. Can you deal with a homeworld that's producing next to nothing?

The 2.0.4 change to Master Builders is pretty nice for the Voidborne Origin Civic, I gotta say. It used to be that you made your 6-slot void habitats and then you'd pay to upgrade them a few slots at a time. Now, instead of that, when you get Master Builders immediately all of your 6-slot baby habs are now 15 slot habs. That you can expand further with a late-game research. Still need to put your capitol on an actual planet eventually though.
