The Sharmat posted:Actually weren't the Yeerks kind of already Syndicalists The Yeerks don't have an economy beyond the military, so I'm not sure they can be classified along economic lines. Their form of governance amounts to an oligarchical elected monarchy grafted onto a military meritocracy. The Andalites are straight up Syndicalists though.

Gamespot has published a preview of Stellaris http://www.gamespot.com/articles/stellaris-is-civilization-in-a-massive-sci-fi-univ/1100-6432516/ Among other things they write that administrative governors that govern sectors of your empire is a feature and that they can try to secede.

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.

Does the human race always starts on a plucky little planet named Earth in the Sol System a couple millenia after the life of a man named Jesus, or can you generate a scenario that is conceivably a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away? To take inspiration from other sci-fi settings, could you start a game as the only spacefaring race and still have an interesting time thanks to civil wars and the like challeninging your empire?

You can do the Earth start, and I believe it was mentioned somewhere you can have multiple people in the same star system at the start of the game, so its not inconceivable that you can not start in Sol if you don't want to.

Westminster System posted:You can do the Earth start, and I believe it was mentioned somewhere you can have multiple people in the same star system at the start of the game, so its not inconceivable that you can not start in Sol if you don't want to. You can't start in the same system as another race. The bulk of our races are going to be custom/randomly generated races, but there are also some (8?) scripted "quick start" races which you can just pick and go if you don't want to make your own race. One of these is the Sol-humans. So if you want to start on Earth, you pick them (and you can customise them if you want too). On the other hand, if you just make a race using the human template you'll start in a random system.

Although it'd be real cool if it was just a text entry at game creation to let you roleplay how your species reckons dates. Bonus points if it gives controls over what a tick is equivalent too, including dropping the monthly calendar in favor of a floating decimal stardate.

2200 seems awfully optimistic. I don't mind having it done that way though (even though I would push it up to like 2500 maybe) because I enjoy having a more concrete sense of the passage of time in these games.

As far as we know, any FTL travel is pretty much fantasy, not sf. If so, then colonizing the stars will be a slow, plodding affair and communication will be lightspeed only. Would make for a boring game though, unless Vernor Vinge directed it.

To be fair though, every other paradox game also ignores how long it would realistically take to send information from end of your realm to the other.
