Solarflare posted:Do you only have to adopt domination to vassalize? I adopted it but haven't gone any further and my robo-empire isn't allowed to demand vassalization, despite it saying only adoption is needed. As it says in the popup, your relative power level to them needs to be "superior" or better, but you are only equivalent. Build more ships.

Anticheese posted:Speaking of the vassal game, the AI is seriously reluctant to bend the knee as a vassal or tributary even when at 100% war exhaustion and occupation. It seems like this is happening when they have an ally in the war, and I really don't care about enforcing these spurious claims of my other vassals (gotten through manually releasing conflicts) that are adding to the warscore. But even with complete occupation of the target state, and 50% of their ally, I'm still about 20 points short of forcing them to pay tribute. You can't upgrade gene clinics or whatever they are called in habitats as well. I'm too lazy to screenshot it, but I've just found a fallen empire where one of it's worlds was two unconnected systems away from the other FE worlds, making it a lonely exclave. The FE generating algorithm needs an update.

I just found out how you can make your non-main species psionic. There's a new "assimilation" citizenship that makes them awake their psionic potential. Only problem is, it makes them wholly unproductive, they cannot work buildings anymore! And only ONE TO FOUR POPS AWAKEN EACH YEAR! I really wish I had known that much earlier, when I started uplifting/enlightening species and accepting refugees. Oh and they also get a 25% happiness penalty.

Pharohman777 posted:Its honestly odd hearing about games like master of orion and sword of the stars where the sequels are loathed and despised but the originals are loved so much. A lot of people rave about MoO1, but I've always liked MoO2 a lot more than the first game. Of course I've played MoO2 first, it was in fact one of my earliest sci-fi games I've ever played when I was a kid.

If you are a native English speaker, then it's easy for you to say that.

There are some cool mods with crazy adjacency buildings that make the tile system more of a neat puzzle. Plus the mod that makes the tile boni give you access to special buildings. You can build a farm, mine or power plant on any tile, but you can build better farms, mines and power plants on food, mineral or energy tiles respectively. That said, I generally liked MoO3, at least the empire management. I could never get into the combat system. So I'm not opposed to the changes, I just didn't mind the tile system at all.

GunnerJ posted:Honestly kinda wish the new planet system were coming out before the other stuff. There's probably not very many game systems as difficult and labour intensive to overhaul as tiles. I guess this takes time anyway, so that even if you put every Stellaris dev on overhauling tiles, it wouldn't be much faster than churning out different stuff in the meantime.

MShadowy posted:This seems... curious. There doesn't seem to be any way to get to this system; it says there's like warp storms or something so I can't just jump my science ships there, at least right now. That's intended. I had a system like that in my last game, and it had another system with a wormhole close by just like you have with Eknyogol. It was only accessible through that wormhole.

Libluini posted:While that would make a ship super-fast, it would also be incredibly vulnerable if an enemy can hit it from behind. The more optimal shape would be a sphere, with a ring of engines around the equator. Perry Rhodan always made sense to me. At some tech level, being aerodynamic ceases to be a concern for spaceships. So why not go with the shape with the biggest volume and smallest surface area? I can forgive the non-optimal design of the SOL, because the SOL is cool and good.

TheDeadlyShoe posted:my guess for the DLC: Eh, my PC is already struggling with current Stellaris. Trade visualization would likely kill it  Anno posted:Yeah they definitely had plenty of missteps along the way. And maybe this is just for Stellaris, I dunno. I guess we'll see once Imperator is out and expansions start being announced. There have been a lot of cool changes included in the base patches for CK2, though less than in Stellaris for now. And they started later with it than in Stellaris, the early patches were often only for bug fixes and the like. I'm pretty sure that they will follow the Stellaris model when they make CK3 if Stellaris is still a success.

I find with emotion emulators I'm usually able to make friends with the civilizations I want to. Materialists will like you more. I see what you did there. Even starting at -30 opinion is not a death sentence. A combination of gifts, mutual threats etc. can easily get you into the positives, able to form treaties that increase their trust in you. Contrast that with determined exterminators, who can't play the diplomacy game at all.

Baronjutter posted:Majesty owns. But its super hard to make a hands off game like that that doesn't frustrate the poo poo out of players. I'm not sure there's room in stellaris for that sort of a mechanic. Sadly, Majesty 2 was much worse than the first game. I thought all the new units were super neat, but the cost inflation for duplicate buildings felt terribly unfun. But Paradox did publish the second game, it would be super cool if they decided to have a third game made.

Trade routes in later Civ games are super annoying because you have to renew them manually every 20 turns or so. Having control over your routes can mean different things. If you just have to set them once and then adjust them when necessary, or if they are created automatically but you can make changes if you wish, then I think they could be a cool, user friendly feature.

Crazycryodude posted:Having gateway activation is also useless for getting to an objective on the other side of the galaxy, which is the context here Not necessarily. After all, the first gateway you activate also automatically activates another one somewhere in the galaxy, so that it's not fully useless. In theory, you could get lucky and have that other gateway be somewhere near the weapon's cache.

Most Paradox games are DRM free. They have a much better way to prevent piracy, in that I couldn't imagine Stellaris without mods, for example. Or to be more correct, Stellaris without mods is still awesome, but mods add a ton of replayability.
