It was an extremely poor decision to release a patch right before the free weekend, especially with their history of loving things up in patches.

I'm playing 2.7.2 beta, and apparently I'm not seeing any war votes in my research coop federation? My fed allies are just going to war without any notice or vote, kind of loving up my plans. Level 2-3 fed with no non-default laws. Is this normal or yet another dumb bug? If a bug, is this new?

So why uh, did they sneak in this absolutely ridiculous "feature" of showing you the DLC you don't own in the game itself and advertising it there? I know which DLC I don't own, because I didn't fuckin buy it. I don't need you to fuckin tell me I could unlock 20 new plantoid species portraits by purchasing the DLC. Christ sake, this looks like the kind of freemium garbage you get on phones now.

I already own all the DLC because I have brain problems. Are the plantoids showing up in the empire build screen even if you don't own the DLC?

My guess is someone from a marketing or sales background probably got promoted too high and now they are pushing stupid ideas that help ruin the product side.

It's not saying no, it's saying 'hey bro, this race you've made is sort of poo poo, if you had this DLC maybe that wouldn't be the case'. It translates to recommended.

It looks like the game is on fire so I will probably hold off playing for a bit. That said, the patch notes mentioned some fixes for a few of the out of synch errors- has anyone noticed any improvement on that front?

I think you still need to vote no instead of abstaining to stop a war going through with unanimous war declaration. Could you have somehow disabled the vote notification?

The beta branch is pretty good right now. Not that a new player on a free weekend would know how to switch to it.

There are some notifications that the player is not allowed to disable, and while I'd like to say I can't imagine that list would not include "choose to start/prevent a war that will probably lead to your ally accepting a status-quo peace that results in you losing several valuable systems"... ahaha no, I've seen too many ridiculous oversight bugs to give paradox the benefit of the doubt.

Is it possible to yoink trade value from a system in another empire's borders? That rear end in a top hat neighbor is just sitting there with an outpost not collecting it at all and I just upgraded my starbase next to it.

It's a strip of tiny icons on the side of the screen, which is infinitely more subdued and unobtrusive than what "freemium" games do. It's barely noticeable and all of the Paradox titles do it. It's not a list of DLC that you own or don't own, it's a list of DLC that are active; you can disable DLCs in the launcher

Question, is conquest in this game pretty much always several small wars to conquer an enemy instead of one big leap? It seems like war exhaustion hits really fast, so I basically need to have multiple quick campaigns planned out. Also, is there an easy way to deal with the massive resource shortfalls that seem to hit when you capture a major world? I captured my idiot rival's capitol planet and suddenly I'm 40 or more in the hole on energy, food, and goods.

You can liberation war empires, which forcibly changes them to your ethics and if you only get a few planets/systems then the newly created empire tends to vassalize under you immediately unless you're inward perfectionist or otherwise uninterested in vassals.

If you're playing a standard empire then yes, you will have to wage several smaller wars to devour your foes because you'll need to spend influence to claim systems. If you're playing a "total war*" empire, the entire opposing empire is up for grabs as soon as you declare war. *Any of the genocidal empires: Fanatic Purifiers, Devouring Swarm, Determined Exterminators, etc.

Lategame you can build a colossus (AKA a Death Star), which inexplicably lets you Total War anybody, even if you never fire it.

You can set yourself up to take lots of territory quickly through reducing the cost of claims: Fan Mil -20% Nationalistic Zeal -10% Interstellar Dominion -20% Both cost reduction techs -20% Rival -20% Belligerent or Supremacist stance -10% Khan's Throne -20% (always be the one to kill the Khan!) I think there's a minimum cost, but stacking modifers can easily get you a 80% cost reduction which is more than enough to swallow vast gobs of territory at once.

It's barely noticeable and all of the Paradox titles do it. You've clearly not made a new empire yet. All portraits are shown now, even ones you don't own. They then have a purple forcefield over them. clicking that gives you a cool and good advert about how great it would be for you to buy the lithoids pack to use this icon.

Wow, that's kinda lovely. It is just like how transaction trash "games" does it. Fits with the dlc icons being extremely visible and meant to stand out on the main screen. Gotta pleasure those shareholders above all else! Mmmm, slurp slurp slurp.
