 Hello and welcome to a Let's Play of Stellaris 2.0! What's this now? Stellaris is a space-based 4X/grand strategy mashup brought to you by Paradox Interactive (the developers of Crusader Kings, Europa Universalis, Victoria and Hearts of Iron franchises). You create a spacefaring species, set up its government, and spread across the galaxy. Along the way, you run into other species, some much older than you, some much younger, and wage war (or diplomacy) on them. Oh, and you can build Death Stars now. The best part about Stellaris is that you can re-create a ton of sci-fi staple species and governments, or just build your own. You want Zerg from Starcraft? Enjoy you genetically-engineered hivemind that consumes other species for biomass. You want the Borg from Star Trek? Join your driven assimilators, and turn conquered aliens into cyborgs. Mix and match whatever you want. Cutthroat megacorp? Done! Isolationist hobbits, but, like, in space? Done! Friendly federation-building lizards? Say no more! Ok, yeah, but this Let's Play? Right, yeah. So, this time we'll be playing humans as a precursor race. The galaxy has no other sentient races, at least, not anymore. Our humans are a feudal empire, which means that we can create vassals that can colonize space themselves. We will be keeping ourselves weak, so that our vassals will be able to declare their independence if they work together. Ideally, in two centuries or so, this will lead to a galaxy filled with disparate human realms run by different types of government that all hate each other. Once we hit the year 2350 (150 years into the game), we will switch to a different human empire. The thread will vote on which one specifically, but Earth will be out of our reach. This sounds familiar. Aren't you that rear end in a top hat that... Yep! I made a Crusader Kings 2 LP (needs archives) where we switch countries every 100 years. It sort of stalled on the last update before the end of CK2, and one day I will come back to it. In the meantime, you can consider this LP a spin-off, since we'll be playing Zunbils in space. This LP diverges from that LP around the time the Aztec invade Francia. What the hell is a Zunbil? Long story short, Zunbils were a dynasty that held southern Afghanistan around 6th century AD. They worshiped the sun as a god named Zun, the Giver of Justice, who may or may not be a variant of Surya, a Hindu sun god. They held onto their lands until around the Ummayads conquered them in the 8th century. The Zunist religion stuck around for another few centuries before being supplanted by Islam. How often will you be updating? I don't understand the question and I won't respond to it. Right, let's get this show on the road!

The Aztec invasion of 1192 connected the Eastern and Western Hemispheres like never before, ensuring a regular flow of people and livestock across the Atlantic. As smallpox ravaged the west, setting the Aztec and Inca empires ablaze, so too did greatpox grind eastern empires into dust. The Byzantines, the Francians, the Tsargrad Horde, the Song, all collapsed as half the population across Eurasia and Africa died of the Aztec plague.  Yet the Zunbils remained.

By 2056, North and South Ixachitlan were granted statehood status within the Empire. A wave of peace descended on the planet, the new Pax Solana bringing untold prosperity to the Sun Emperor's subjects. And yet, not everyone was grateful for the Emperor's peace. Independence movements rose up and were quashed down every few years. The Zunbil dynasty tore itself apart every time a Sun Emperor died, with every new ruler leaving behind dozens of dead cousins. ... /modules/intro/history.mod is partially corrupted. Jumping to the nearest uncorrupted point...  The harsh caste system introduced in 2137 drew criticism at the time, but is seen as necessary in the long run. The Zunbil dynasty itself was placed above all others, divine and pure, untouchable by the lower castes. The Solar Priests stood below them, directing the Empire's soul and scientific progress. Below still, the Mohafez, both warriors and bureaucrats, held up the state. The Kargar, craftsmen and workers, the beating heart of the Empire, were next. The Bazargan, merchants and swindlers, further below. And at the very bottom, the Barde, slaves and traitors, doomed to grow the Empire's food and die in its mines.  And yet, the year is 2201, and the Solar Empire still stands, surviving every blow from within.

We brought some of the Alpha Centauri III flora on board to test for survival in space. One of the Priests made some bread out of something local. I didn't eat it, but a bunch of our engineers did. No one died yet. We swung back around to hit Barnard's Star. Came close enough to Earth to communicate in loving semaphore. I beamed research data over to you, Z. Send it to someone who can tell if it's useful. Barnard's star is a red dwarf, so it barely even has a habitable zone.  But get this. Barnard's Star II is wedged right the gently caress in there. Mostly covered in water, but it's got some solid plant life going under there. It's also loving massive!

We came across some weird poo poo on a gas giant, so we hit the atmosphere to take closer readings.  Turns out it's pretty freaky. It's definitely organic, but I don't think it's sentient. A very geometric atmospheric fungus, maybe? hosed if I know, I'm not a scientist. Gonna make a quick stop to scan the last few moons in this system, and then we're out. -XT P.S. Thanks, S.

I mean, yes, they're dead, and have been for anywhere between 1.2 and 2.5 million years, but still! An intelligent xeno species!  Based on the records we found on Sirius Va, they look like some sort of hosed up platypus (platypi? platypuses?) with an extra pair of arms and the immune system of a dying baby. Got themselves plagued to death. We'll be on the look out for more. -XT  From: ZL To: gently caress SunCorp Cc: MB, SOD Subject: q Priests see no value in keeping dead xenos secret. Information quarantine lifted. Earth-wide discussion. -ZL P.S. Are we really alone, X?  From: gently caress SunCorp To: ZL Cc: MB, SOD Subject: q I don't know, Z. As far as I know, we might be. On the bright side, we found another Earth-like. So even if we are alone, there are going to be enough humans in this galaxy that it doesn't matter. -XT  From: ZL To: gently caress SunCorp Cc: MB, SOD Subject: q News released. Mohafez Diet called.

painedforever posted:Will you be covering any mechanics? I won't be going over mechanics in actual updates. However, we do have a pretty good Stellaris 2.0 thread, which discusses mechanics among other things. But here's a primer on the game mechanics necessary to answer your second question. Stellaris 101 - Pops, Ethics, Governments and Vassals Pops Governments in Stellaris are based on the ethics of your pops. A pop is an abstract representation of a subset of your population that can work one tile on a planet. Pops don't really match up to actual population numbers, so I'll be playing loose with them.  For example, here is an early screenshot of our Earth. We have 8 pops already established, and 1 pop growing (the transluscent one on the bottom right). Pops grow when there is a surplus of food in the empire, and their growth rate is affected by a whole lot of things, from genetics to buildings on the planet. Traits  If you look at the top-right of this later screenshot of Faunus (Alpha Centauri III), you can see details for the selected pop. The top row of symbols are genetic traits of the species. Traits are inherited, and cannot be directly changed unless you genetically modify whole populations. The traits for our humans are, in order: - Continental World Preference: we take penalties for settling other types of worlds (like desert or tundra) for now. - Extremely Adaptive: we have a pretty hefty bonus to habitability on other types of planets. - Quick Learners: our leaders (scientists, generals, admirals, governors and rulers) earn more experience. - Slow Breeders: we have a penalty to pop growth rate. - Quarrelsome: we have a penalty to our Unity generation, which affects how quickly we unlock Traditions. - Deviants: our pops are more likely to choose ethics that do not match our government. Below the traits, you can see the ethic that this pop will have once it fully grows. Pops develop ethics over time. In this case, this pop will become Egalitarian. Ethics  Ethics are general directions your society can develop in. They grant small bonuses and affect what kind of government we can have. The Solar Empire started with the following ethics: - Authoritarian: our society favours a rigid social hierarchy (the caste system and slavery) with a single person at the top. - Spiritual: our society is built around a single faith (Zunism), which is enforced by the government. - Militarist: we are a war-based society. Pops choose their ethic (each pop can have only one) based on a bunch of factors, most notably including distance from Earth. You'll notice that our growing pop's ethic is not aligned with our government. Not only that, their ethic is directly opposed to one of ours (Authoritarian). This will be important later. Factions  When enough of our pops have the same ethic, they will form a faction. I won't go into details about factions right now, except to say that their mood will vary based on our actions (pacifists will hate us for going to war, etc.). When a faction that has a different ethic than our government grows large enough, we (and the AI) have the option to embrace it. This will change our government ethics to align with that faction, thus changing how our government functions. If we embrace Egalitarians, for example, we will no longer be able to exist as a Feudal Empire, leading to elections and a bunch of other fun stuff. Vassals In Stellaris, vassals work similarly to EU4. Vassals are semi-independent empires that provide bonuses to you in return for protection and guidance in foreign policy. We can release any planet we own as a vassal with our government type and our ethics. Their loyalty varies based on their personal opinion of you, and the total forces of all your vassals. Since we're playing a Feudal Empire, our vassals can colonize planets by themselves, thus expanding without our help. This means that they can potentially continue to grow indefinitely, while we can't go over the core world limit (currently 3 planets, soon to be upgraded to 5). Eventually, our vassals will outnumber us, and unless we do a lot of careful diplomacy, they will be able to declare a war of independence. Putting it together After that small essay, I can finally answer your question. As our empire grows, the distant colonies will have pops with wildly differing ethics compared to Earth. When we spin those colonies off as vassals, these pops will form factions within them. Once those vassals overpower us and break free, these factions are likely to impose their will on the newly independent governments, changing their ethics. Different ethics - different governments. Think of our empire over the next century or so as space HRE, but somehow even less unified. It's important to note that this is really easy to avoid, but we're not exactly playing to win here. Feel free to ask other mechanics-related questions! Kayten fucked around with this message at 05:26 on Apr 5, 2018 |

Oh, this is so sweet, thanks! So, our initial objective is to grow as far and wide as possible, in a Universe that's empty of alien life. We're basically playing in Asimov's Foundation Universe. Then, we allow the competing factions to splinter, and then jump into one of those said factions and see if we can take over the Universe. Having vassals allows you to automate sections of your empire?

You can also organize your empire into sectors which require a few things. They can have their own govenor and their own pool of resources you can contribute/take from. They let you have more worlds in your main empire. Of course you can just have all planets under your direct control but each one you go above the recommended number imposes more and more penalties on you.

painedforever posted:Having vassals allows you to automate sections of your empire? Not quite. A vassal is subservient to you, but essentially a vassal is its own player, empire, government, even species if applicable. While a vassal does provide levies and taxes to its lord, it also has its own goals, rivals, foreign policy, tech levels, fleet composition, and so on. While nominally independant, a vassal shares a great deal of technology with its overlord, pays a portion of its income as taxes and fleet capacity in levies, and is automatically called in to all wars involving its overlord. Stellaris' Sector mechanic allows you to automate sections of your empire. See, you've got your Core Planets that you control directly, typically a base of 3, expansion tradition grants +2 at completion, pacifist ethos grants +1, and the Imperial Prerogative perk gives +5. Exceeding that core planet count imposes empire-wide penalties on you; -10% energy and mineral income off the top of my head. For a large empire that can be absolutely crippling, so you definitely don't want that. How you get around that is you turn groups of planets into a sector, where the AI controls building development and pop placement on the planets as well as space construction. The sector has its own resource income and resource pool and pays between 25% and 75% of its income back to the central government (ie you), keeping the rest to fund its own development. You can think of it like this: A vassal has its own government, it is a real country. A sector is just another province of the empire. If you've played Civilization, think of it like setting your lovely cities to autobuild so you don't have to babysit them.  Here's a demonstration. The white areas of the UNE are its sectors, while the Republic of Penthul is a vassal. The sectors belong to the UNE full stop, while the Republic kinda does its own thing. Kayten is probably going to spin off his sectors into vassals later on in the game.

Stellaris and HoI IV sorely need the CK2 leader rpg elements. I want my space emperor to get space cancer in an arm and then have a robot surgeon accidentally cut off the emperor’s dick. I want King Zog to give a lusty Albanian maid a roll in the hay. I want Hirohito to get possessed by Satan. I want my space admiral to plot an assassination of my space president.

The pirate base, hidden in an asteroid field orbiting Hlilje, a system on the edges of Solar space, was discovered moments earlier by the HSS Enigma. The ship itself escaped with minimal casualties.  Following this attack, the pirates moved into Solar space with the intent to raid the recently-constructed Alpha Centauri Starbase. Citizens on Faunus could see the battle raging in the skies above.  But the filthy pirates stood no chance against the might of the Solar Empire! The brave crew of the Alpha Centauri Starbase valiantly defended against the attack, destroying all four of the enemy vessels.  In response to the growing pirate threat, Her Resplendent Majesty, Solar Empress Boran II, charged the Mahafez Diet with eradicating them. The Diet convened and immediately approved the expansion of Strike Force Medusa, headed by Mahafez Dikeledi Ojukwu.  Two new ship classes were immediately put up for construction at the Sol shipyard. The Kargar in orbit are hard at work welding them together.  We eagerly await the construction of the ships, and Mahafez Ojuzwu's triumphant return. Praise the Sun!

The flora samples here absolutely saved my life. Got a little farm going. The pink seaweed-looking bullshit we picked up on Barnard's Star II turned out to not kill me on consumption, and reproduces pretty well. I took to calling it pinkweed, because I'm just that creative. One of the Alpha Centauri plants gives brown beet-looking tubers that are pretty tolerable when boiled. Since the only fertilizer for it I have is my own poo poo, I named it poo poo-tato. I am the funniest man in this stellar system. Water's not nearly as much of a problem. The lab module housed one of Enigma's water recyclers, so I'm drinking the same recycled piss and sweat as I have been over the past decade.  With the amount of pinkweed I have, oxygen production's not a concern either. This should keep me going until I get picked up. -Xarmandar Taid Attempting to connect to SunMail server... ...

Stellaris 101 - Ships, Fleets and Space Combat Last update introduced ship-based combat, so I'm going to talk about that. Ships  Space combat is done by ships or space stations. Both of these are designed in the ship designer. Ships have a hull configuration that determines ship size, one or more offensive sections (at the top), one or more defensive sections (on the bottom), and a utilities section (on the right). Each section can be filled with components, which are researched separately. Offensive components include weapons (the three red lasers in this image) that attack enemy ships/stations, point defense systems that shoot down incoming missiles, or hangars that launch smaller ships at the enemy. Defensive components include armor, shields, and accessories like afterburners. Utility components are mostly straight upgrades, not much room for choice there. These include reactors that determine how many components you can power at once, drives that affect how quickly you travel between stellar systems, thrusters that control sub-light movement, scanners that track enemies, and combat computers that decide what tactics your ships use. Weapons vs. defenses is a bit of a rock-paper-scissors game. Lasers do additional damage to armour, but less damage to shields. Mass drivers shred shields, but aren't very good against armour. Missiles bypass shields entirely, and do more damage to the hull directly, but can be shot down by point defense systems and aren't very good at switching targets if their target dies mid-flight. This encourages you to change ship designs based on who you are currently fighting. Defenses work in layers, except for missiles and some late-game bullshit. Your shields take damage first. They slowly regen some damage dealt to them over time, and do this faster if you install an accessory that does just that. After your shields are shredded, your armour is next. Armor does not regenerate naturally, and needs to be repaired at starbase with a shipyard. When your armour is gone, you start taking hull damage. Once hull damage is sufficiently disastrous, your ships will try to emergency FTL the gently caress out of there if they can (and your admiral and policies allow them to). You cannot directly control the components placed on your space stations. Instead, the game installs the most powerful ones it can automatically. You can, however, design defense platforms, which you can build at space stations in addition to their built-in defenses. The maintenance on these is a bitch though, so it's recommended you only beef up specialized starbases at chokepoints near potential problems. Fleets  Ships are organized into fleets, managed through the Fleet Manager. At the very top we have our naval capacity and the cost to reinforce all fleets. Naval capacity determines how many ships you can have across all of your fleets combined. It functions exactly like naval forcelimits do in EU4 - you can go over them, but each ship over will increase your maintenance costs. Note that while corvettes count as 1 for the purposes of fleet size, destroyers count as 2, cruisers count as 4, battleships count as 8, titans count as 16, and collosi (colosuses? multiple of colossus) count as 32. On the left, we have fleet details. These include (top to bottom and left to right) its command limit usage, its overall health, its total military power, its admiral, if any (with their level, experience bar and traits), and its stance. The fleet's command limit is a hard limit on the total number of ships a single admiral can control. You cannot go over this limit, but it can be increased with tech, policies and traditions. The fleet's military power is a rough estimate of the fleet's strength based on its weapons, defenses and some magic formula (I have no idea how it works). It's mostly used to quickly judge the power of fleets, and for diplomatic dick-waving over who has the better fleet. The admiral is a leader that increases how well the fleet functions, gets more experienced in fights, and eventually dies out of nowhere, same as EU4. The fleet's stance determines its behaviour if it encounters enemy fleets or starbases in the same system it's in. Aggressive means we go right at it, 100% of time. On the bottom, we have the ship breakdown within a fleet. Here you can set the home base for the fleet, retrofit ships to new designs, upgrade them to the most recent designs, and change the fleet composition. In this screenshot, we've just added two new designs to the fleet (the Meteor-class interceptor and the Fireball-class gunboat), while the fleet only currently has the default Rapier-class corvettes. Because of this, our ships are listed as 0/3 Meteors and 0/3 Fireballs. As soon as we have enough minerals and hit Reinforce All, our shipyards will start churning out the ships to match this set up. With this set up, you don't have to queue up each individual ship to build, which makes life a little bit easier. Space Combat  Once a fleet engages in combat with an enemy fleet or starbase (or both at once), it's out of our hands. The ships will use tactics we've assigned to them, but they will select targets and fire all by themselves. Once ships take enough hull damage, they will try to emergency FTL out of the system if they can. The only thing we can control is ordering the whole fleet to Retreat, forcing it to emergency FTL to its home base. During combat you can see roughly how the fleet is doing with the power bar at the top that compares total HP (Shields+Armour+Hull) of the two sides. At the bottom, you can see how much damage you've done to enemy hull, armour and shields, respectively, followed by the average accuracy of shots fired.  After combat is complete, you can see the combat results screen. This is a summary of forces on either side, with ships and starbases lost. At the bottom, you can see our overall weapon effectiveness (taking the rock-paper-scissors into account), as well as effectiveness against hulls, armour, shields and point defenses. Right after that is our average accuracy, and evasion (dodging attacks) And that about covers combat for now!
