Fanatic Xenophile, Authoritarian. Designate a gaia world as a thrall world, keep buying and capturing new aliens to put on it. Pick Xeno Compatibility.

Splicer posted:I think authoritarian too. I dont think the bonus authoritarian gives you has changed but you are no longer forced to use the caste system or enslave people. Instead they've added a new 'straitified' citizenship type you use instead. Also, to force spawn any empire you should be able to toggle it when starting a new game (when selecting your own empire). Can't get a screen shot but in the lower right corner there should be a box that looks like a bird/Phoenix that you can click. It will toggle them to never spawn, be available at random or always spawn depending on what you set it to. So long as you don't run out of places to put them by forcing too many empires to spawn they should always show up.

If we're going to abstract ground combat away from moving armies around, at least let it be it's own system rather than just "fleets shoot planet". Fuckin, set up some system for supply lines and fronts, where it abstracts troop deployments and reinforcement along supply lines you establish and defend. Keep your front supplied to pump military manpower into a planet until it is taken. Your military bases and forts generate manpower based on food income or something, and you set up what are almost like "trade routes", but they are supply lines for sending troops to a target, and you need to maintain control of a system to let the line run through it. That way, your fleets play a major roll in ground operations outside of just bombarding, and you don't need to do the busy work of clicking "build army" a bunch, you just set up your fronts and toggle troop production on.

Baronjutter posted:"An unusually SFW image of Stellaris's sex mod, which includes species traits like "high volume ejaculation" and "aphrodisiac cum." If those are the only choices, then you are of course correct. For something semi-related, I've tried a number of additional trait mods for Stellaris, but none have really been worth it. And I realized why, because most traits are just boring. +5% unity is boring, +10% energy is boring, -X% ethics attraction is boring. Enduring or fleeting are better because they at least have a real effect on the only individual characters in the game, but otherwise traits are just meh. And most trait mods have things like +X% high energy physics research or some other lame poo poo like that. Very similar to the vanilla traits, only with different combinations or adding percentage bonuses/penalties to similar values. Most government policy slots are equally boring. Cool stuff like Life Seeded is so much better than -10% build cost. I'm still enough of a min/max guy to pay some attention to traits, both at game start and later when I have a more multi-species empire. But it's never really been that important for me. At least the new Xeno-compability perk is cool because of it's flavor and the fluffy feeling that all races are truly equal in your empire, and scoring a cool combination of traits can also be a nice surprise. But I won't lose sleep if my pops don't win the genetic lottery. Because as I said, pop traits are relatively boring, whether they're vanilla traits or mod traits.

I'm at work so I can't tell you exactly which mod, but there's at least one mod out there which gives some expensive traits (4-7 points IIRC) which give massive bonuses to specific things and then also allow leaders to spawn with species-trait-specific leader traits. quote:Most government policy slots are equally boring. Cool stuff like Life Seeded is so much better than -10% build cost. There's a mod for this too, which gives a bunch of "start of game only" civics which change your starting circumstances and/or enable unique event chains. I'll try to remember to come back and link the mods once I get home this afternoon.

Thanks, that would be really appreciated. I guess I'll dive into the workshop later today as well, perhaps I can find the mods you talked about  Strangely enough, I love the mods that add additional levels to ship components, even though they mostly also just increase numbers. But massively out-teching the AI and building a hyper advanced fleet is oddly satisfying.
