 I'm curious of the reasoning behind the malus here. Is that me considering them fake, or are they considering my synthetic ascended empire fake?  Honestly I kind of wish it wasn't there. Machine empires being all "Hey buddies, welcome to the club!" when you synthetic ascend would be a neat counterpoint to the spiritualists losing their goddamned minds. At least exterminators notice you following ascension.  E: Also they are a rebellion and a younger empire then mine, and we have the same body... I'm not the fake robot around here!

Expansion also means shutting prospective rivals out of space you can use later. It also means border friction so that's another thing to weigh up. Its just fair to say that blind expansion isn't the rule of thumb or a good plan. Consider that 2 energy 2 mineral star nearby. By itself its not really worth the cost, but would it lead you to richer systems or keep your neighbors from trapping you in? That part is what you're paying that unity/research malus for.

It is the year 2525 and the galaxy is doomed. We stood against the scourge. A hive mind, a republic, a democratic kharnate and ancient xenophiles. The republic lost its colonies early into the war but we held them at Toiubos and Guwartan. We burned their nests, cut a line in the galaxy that they would not cross. We swore it. It would be our unexpected ally's equally ancient rival, the Rothak, who set the doom of this galaxy in motion. They had awoken decades before the arrival yet had set about a slow pace of reconquering the galaxy. This alliance changed that. Their answer was total destruction. With the death of Soiu prime, the hive mind's economy crashed and it fled home to stop its homeworld from seeing a similar fate. Yet it would be the economic ruin left in the wake of Soiu prime that doomed us, not the retreat. While the Kharnate had a vast fleet, and was the current ruler of the federation, its income was kept afloat by the republic and the keepers. Worse, The Uri Union had submitted to the Rothak, and had sealed their borders as a result to the kharnate. These ships would remain trapped for decades. A force that would have decisively ended the scourge or the Rothak had they been used in the early days. They would finally free that fleet and cast it against our foes. It is now 2545, and the galaxy is doomed. We turned upon the Rothak Reclaimers, but infighting has lead to this. The frontline has fallen. The scourge have transformed the star realm into their own image. The kharnate fleet is in ruins. The peacekeepers do not know how to fight a war even with their technological edge. The alliance wasted time punishing the world destroyers. The vast republic fleet is mismanaged. One xenophobic ruler and his people have doomed the universe. It is served upon a silver platter for the survivors.

Anticheese posted: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. 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.

Bedurndurn posted:Stellaris really needs to steal the multiple paths to victory that Civ has had for a decade or two. I'd honestly hate that. Stellaris feels like a game which you make your own goals and watch them come to ruin when death arrives in 2400+  Put a "Congrats, you survived the endgame crisis! Here's your score." screen instead of having victories to strive towards.

SniperWoreConverse posted:I feel like shapeshifter would be a genetic trait that increases influence with some kind of weird diplomatic effect +opinion and trust growth with everyone. ++opinion with xenophiles. ---opinion with xenophobes. This also applies if you are a machine empire (Everyone's a T-1000!) to lesser effect on the positives. The contingency trying to infiltrate you would fall apart instantly. It can also be a placeholder for when infiltration is added.

Black Griffon posted:Incidentally: when it comes to galaxy generation, I always lower hyperlane density to 0.5. I enjoy playing in defined areas with clear chokepoints. Lower or baseline hyperlane density, lower wormholes, increased ruined gates. I like the idea that the galaxy eventually has its "great roads" rebuilt sooner then later, and that wormholes are rare and worth fighting over. Wish gate reactivation and construction were a tier lower 'tho.

I'm abit happier with shorter lives now that you dont get anomalies that tell you to "eat poo poo, idiot" for not being level 5.

I mean, if you're looking for more tolerant empires for both sides of this, you don't be a materialist or spiritualist. Then you are the "enlightened" empire that looks at both space magic or talking robots and goes "Yeah okay, that seems to be working out for you, maybe we'll do the same."
