The two aren't necessarily mutually exclusive things, though. It's possible both for Paradox finding it not economically feasible to produce a Chinese localization and for Chinese gamers to be pissed that it's not. When a pizza place near me that I liked closed, I didn't think, "Well, that makes sense from an economically rational point of view." I thought, "Man, that sucks."

uPen posted:The ai seems to have a habit of having fully populated planets with like 3 buildings total. Is there a mod that tricks it into actually playing? The best mod to improve the AI at this time is Glavius AI mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1140543652 There's other AI mods and Glavius was previously compatible with them, 2.0 threw that a bit into disarray. I'd stick to using just Glavius for a bit until the dust settles.

I get people getting upset at their ability to have a generally working localization being removed leaving them unable to play. Also china tends to see things like that as a much bigger attack/insult to the entire country, it's not just a loss for the X chinese stellaris players who can't play anymore, it's an attack on the entire country and they will rally over such causes.

Non native English speaker here and I don't care, everybody should know English by now.. but hey I would love it if more paradox games were localized, they're not easy to soldier through in a different language than your own that you don't know very well, and I know plenty of people who would play them if they were translated.. I guess italians just don't spend enough in videogames to warrant it

The Chinese localization wasn't even supposed to be included. It was incomplete and of low quality, so, Paradox pulled it out because it got in by accident. IIRC, Steam never advertised Chinese support, it all came through a mod. This has been interpreted as a grievous, personal insult.

There was never an option to activate an official Chinese version, there were just a couple of loose files that covered some tiny percent of the strings in the game.

Its really up front about it now. Once they stop then both ratings should pop back, rather than being so wildly out of sync.

Because people who already bought the game and liked the changes don't usually care enough to leave a review or update old reviews, whereas people who hate new changes are super super vocal about their hate.

Splicer posted:Hey anybody in this thread who's missing a lot of the DLC there's a new Ascension Pack Steam Bundle with a decent discount on it. Bundle looks neat except GMG still has the overall discount beat using the PDX22 voucher. I might give it a day to see if that bundle starts becoming available at third party sites, right now it's Steam only.

That's incredibly dumb if true, maxing out your own WE should never be a good thing. e: Also I'm like 99% sure I've had a war where we were both at 100% and still got the two years to finish conquering them. This was in either 2.0.3 or 2.0.4.

A party to a war can force a status quo peace if the other side at 100% WE. If both sides are at 100%, both sides have the option of forcing the status quo at any time. Option is the keyword though. Neither are forced to push for peace immediately however.

I have had this game forever and only put a few hours into it ages ago, but I figured I would try the Star Trek mod for the game. Does the mod have an ingame tutorial or do I have to go play the main game then play the mod?

The mod adds its own version of the tutorial bot which I think explains most but maybe not all of the new and changed mechanics. At least for United Earth/Federation players anyway, I never got around to rolling as any of the other races. I doubt it really explains any of the normal Stellaris gameplay, but maybe the vanilla tutorial is still available with the mod enabled somehow. I also have no idea if 2.0 forced a bunch of changes to the mod which would make the tutorial stuff obsolete.

Speaking of Paradox and sci-fi games, they just announced the new Age of Wonders game is gonna be sci-fi, seemingly taking cues from Endless Legend and shades of Beyond Earth.

 Nearly had a heart attack, then noticed planet modifier system is still there :3 (pls dont delete wiz <3) Excited to see what they can do. While I do like tiles they quickly become a tedious system after the first few planets. I fear without them there might just be too much 'inbetween" time while playing though. Mid-game already suffers a lot with waiting months for stuff watching the timer instead of actively playing. But I'm confident they'll come up with something. Also, 22nd for the DLC, crap! Too soon, too soooon  my overwatch lootbox money. I'm definitally getting the DLC. And lootboxes.. Guess I'll be eating sandwiches for a while haha.. ha.

Its great and I'm totally not going to pretend its Stellaris - Earthbound. Made a thread for it. It moving away from its fantasy roots is something I'm totally okay with. The TBS market is hardly over saturated, planetside sci-fi ones even more so.

On the one hand, because I play with alphamod I really enjoy playing adjacency minmax with the huge number of buildings and tile resources it adds, so I enjoy tiles a lot. On the other hand, I hope that moving away from them might allow more variety between planets.

I'm not totally persuaded that something that looks uncomfortably close to MOO2 will retain the character of planets. I quite like tiles, even if their current implementation isn't great.

I am glad Paradox is working on a new system that will replace tiles. Match a tile with the corresponding building, but too much green stuff is bad, is imo a boring and tedious system.

Aethernet posted:I'm not totally persuaded that something that looks uncomfortably close to MOO2 will retain the character of planets. I quite like tiles, even if their current implementation isn't great. Looking at that bit on the right it looks like planets still have something like tiles, or at least they have exploitable resources which can be blocked, which determine how much you can put into your various kinds of planetary development, so it should be very possible to make planets either really cool or really crap based on how many and which resource "tiles" they roll. But it doesn't need to fit on a grid, so presumably you could make planets much bigger too if you wanted to. Might be interesting for ringworlds. I'm also wondering if "arid world 100%" means planets can have multiple biomes, because there's two species shown there so it'd be a bit odd if 100% was the habitability rating.
