SniperWoreConverse posted:Oh yeah I wanted to say I like how the amoeba chain is different now. Don't let them colonize. You can manually build colonies and let them build them up, but never let them start the colonization. Last I checked, they only build colony ships from the sector capital, so if your sector spans more than a small bit of space it'll take years for the ships to finally arrive. If you do let them colonize, build a gateway in the sector capital, so at least the colony ships will use that to speed up part of the trip. I usually play with 2x or 3x wormholes/gateways, so there tend to be a good bit of them scattered around to help out. As for robots, I haven't tried out a robot friendly game yet, so no clue about that one. Jabarto posted:

Oh gently caress this game. After being unable to do take any offensive action against the other empires the entire game due to the pervailing threat of 11k raiders and finally reaching the point where I can invade them the loving great Kahn event happens and now suddenly multiple 20-50k doomstacks all invade and sacc my worlds. My entire fleet is 20k at maxed fleet capacity. What a bunch of horseshit.

You should also keep in mind that attacking one of the raider home systems considerably increases the chance of the Great Khan event firing (after the mid-game crisis year) so unless you can take everything out in one fell swoop you may want to just leave them be. If you're strong enough to take them on in one of their own systems you can just park a fleet nearby to deal with any raids or build a strong station. Or just let one of the AIs on the other side of the galaxy attack the raiders closest to them instead so they can deal with the Khan instead of you. I've never seen two in the same game so it's either incredibly rare or not possible, so you should be safe after someone else pokes the hornets nest.

Not only did I have to suffer through boundless amounts of extra micro for the entire game, I also get to auto-lose in a situation where if I played literally anything else I would get a slap on the fingers.

No empire but mine has access and the event triggered without me actually having the fleets in position to attack. I don't think the game can read my mind.

Shadowlyger posted:2340 and that's all the space you've got? You haven't exterminated enough xenos. It just pisses me off that I had recognized that I had a raider-faction right next to me at the beginning of the game I could have just restarted and had a game where I could have actually done what the entire point of this trait orientation is, invading the others. Instead I got bogged down by invading raider fleets, which are impossible by design to respond to until you scale, and by the point that I do scale they magically get 5 times as strong by a mid-game event getting triggered. I get it, I'm being irrationally angry about a video-game here. But it just feels so completely pointless to have the game end by getting punted out by one of the gimmick DLC threats instead of one of the actual empires who play by the same rules as I do.

Stellaris is all about threats that don’t play by the same rules as you friend. End game crises, L Clusters, khanates, and fallen empires. Two out of four are base game.

To be honest, Stellaris is a game where you learn more from your failures than your victories, unlike a lot of other games where failure really isn't presented as an option.

honestly i knew about the whole "khan won't accept surrender from the genocidal empire types" thing but didn't mention it because i figured if you were inexperienced enough at the game to not have seen the khan before you wouldn't have jumped right into playing on hard mode you showed me i guess realtalk: if you want the "everyone hates you" experience without going full murder, play as driven assimilators; they have -200 diplomacy to all other basic factions (-400 to spiritualists because they see you as soul-eating abominations) which is a pretty much insurmountable barrier to diplomacy, but don't count as a genocidal faction to those that care about that e: vvvv also what he said; if you were only on one 20k fleet by 2300 then the crisis would have absolutely demolished you President Ark fucked around with this message at 06:06 on May 30, 2018 |

The thing with the races of "we hate everyone else and are always total war" is they get a bunch of REALLY strong bonuses right at the start, and if you don't leverage that into a proper snowball then of course you're going to get wrecked by events. Take advantage of your expanded fleet size and stronger fleets to utilize 0 influence cost wars to grow stupid fast. By the time the Khan fires you should be in a position to at least turtle up and fight him at the very least (unless you got a crazy bad enemy empire generation and they rush a big federation against you).

Am I weird for turning wormhole generation off? Am I missing out on much? They just seem to have had dumb interactions with empires thinking they're bordering you by being connected via wormhole, and are otherwise just bad gateways but unbuildable.
