Stellaris

Customisation looks really nice, so does the game.

But I already know that I will get bored of it 2 hours in.

6 days and 22 hours till release. Woo!

For anybody interested the PDX has put up their last dev diary detailing some more modding capabilities, like creating custom portraits for races and custom designs for your ships. Very cool stuff and I love how much Paradox is supporting the modding community.

Come on Vovka, you are not old  And even if you were!
Pretty sure everyone has problems getting a new game to work.
At least I did with Europa Universalis 3! Took me 3-4 rage quit uninstall/reinstall before I got to enjoy it.

Is this a keeper? Sounds like it.

Cool game. Is there like a good way to get influence if you're playing a peaceful faction? I feel like it is überslow.

Wondering that myself. My Thrifty Frog Collectivists just want some more influence. Mid game seem to be slow, though it might just be me not knowing what to do. Feels like you very much have to create gameplay for yourself.

I figured you can destroy frontier outposts because colonized planets generate border themselves, that was a decent + back to my influence... thanks game for telling me that

Watched one dev blog and started to skip through it after 3 min because it seemed so horribly boring to me D:

Yes you can destroy frontier outposts    in my current MP game I was at war with a divine mandate insectoid, he had a controlled system just neighbouring my capital system. His was far from any of his planets so he had a frontier outpost here to be able to build all the mines he had. When I destroyed his frontier outpost, the influence from my capital spilled over here and I instantly took control of all his sexy mines 

I then proceeded to invade his homeland but got wiped because I am a noob (I thought I could "kite" his army out of his spaceport range, got pulled in and quickly destroyed), but he had not much left himself so I was gonna fuck him good. He then formed a federation with someone else and my war was over, damn it.


I'm a mamal collectivist xenophobe, I want to enslave shit but I dont know if I should enslave my own kind? I still didnt have the necessary opportunities to enslave others. If someone is good at enslaving mechanics I would really love to have some explanation about how to exploit it at the max.

Butan if you are a fanatic colectivist enslave all your population that is in mines/food for no drawback. Their happiness wont drop and the free ones wont mid. For the greater good bro.

Also, when playing colectivist always pick the decadent trait. You just have to enslave one pop on the planet to get rid of the -10% modifier on that planet. Colectivis civs are hella op, slavery is op as fuck atm.

Im playing as The Federation. Xenophile, Materialistic, Individualists. Charismatic and Communal. Rping shit with ship names too, Voyager, eneterprise etc

[Butan]

Fanatical xenophobe, not fanatical collectivist    so I have malus if I enslave my own, even if its -50% less.
From what I gathered and the way I want to role play, I switched to fanatical xenophobe militarist: I will conquer and enslave every other inferior races. The traits I picked are sedentary, slow breeders and venerable (+120 years lifespan, feel good to live double the lifespan of other pathetic xeno).
