I think I remember one interview saying that you could even play a part in raising up pre-spacefaring races to be spacefaring races, which sounds pretty cool.

Canceling my pre-order if I can't use pre space faring species as a luxury food resource.

I will be honestly disappointed if I can't play like cartoonishly evil space invaders from cheesy sci-fi

Reminds me of that one rts game that had a race that were basically war of the world style invaders so they could literally harvest humans for resources, loving owned.

You've learned 2 paradox games already, you're already like 70% proficient. The only major problem will be the weirder mechanics and Ui issues caused by it being an old style paradox game. You can pick up the rest by fuckin around or just asking in this thread.

and did you get a house divided and heart of darkness? Because for godsake get both of those if you havent.

I think they said that after you pick one your stuck with it for the rest of the game, so you will have to use different strategies depending on what you choose and what your rivals use. Which seems like a pretty cool and fun mechanic.

It sounds like wormholes are kinda of a paratrooper option.

You really have to make you your hitting a good target, otherwise you either warp into a place thats heavily defended unprepared, or you hit a target thats unimportant while reinforcements bear down on you.

Oh god, I unlocked Great Wars and France pretty much immediately kicked one off against me for Japan. Me and Germany vs. France, Austria-Hungary, Bavaria (who is stronger than Germany). This is gonna be rough. Germany has been a real joke this game. They can field something like 80,000 men and keep getting rolled over by pathetic nations. I really should just ditch them and take someone like Austria-Hungary.

I am actually gonna savescum the hell out of this war just to test out Viccy 2 battle mechanics. I've never really understood them too well, sometimes I will march 2 20 stacks onto one 20 stack in favourable conditions and still lose. Time to learn why and how.

The AI is willing to micromanage its generals. As a concequence they'll have a 6-5 general leading their stack when your force has a 1-0 drunkard that was autoassigned to it 20 years ago.

Also fighting on territory you have a fort on reduces your casulties.

Finally, The RNG is a fickle bitch who will give you low rolls leading to you losing in favorable conditions.

Vicky 3 won't actually have provinces, but instead it'll be various regions and you can apply power to fronts in these regions (or at sea) during war time.

Your green lines will gradually become more swole and beat into their red lines.

Why British werewolves, when the Nazis were the ones who developed them historically?

A common misconception brought about after the fact. The British had been recruiting werewolves from the highlands in wales and Scotland ever since the Crimean War. The nazis attempted to gain their own wolfwaffen but a combination of allied bombing, higher level incompetence, and interference from the Nazi parties own vampire faction prevented it from making any progress until the 1945, by which point the war was already decided.

Stellaris is pretty great, I stayed until late at work today to play my Goa'Uld Empire campaign.

So what's the most "wait what" level bug you guys have found so far

Edit: also good science fiction is about the interactions of humanity with new technologies and using those reaction to wax philosophical about human nature. The realism of the tech is irrelevant, the realism of the people using it is paramount

It's really hard not to get hyped out of shape for Stellaris. And it's not like they are doing anything extraordinary in terms of technology, they are simply piling in the experience they have from scripting their previous games and trying to create a bunch of interconnected gameplay systems like governors, crises and projects.

eh ill reserve hype until i see actual gameplay footage. prefereably played by ddrjake
