I'm pretty sure we were being pretty unironic last year when we got into a 10 page argument/derail over whether or not Westernization in EUIV was Eurocentric and how to more realistically depict technological progress, and nearly got moved to D&D!

Thank you. I've not done much on Stellaris, as its Doomdarks creation, but the techsystem and sector-mechanics ai can take credit for..

So the truth finally comes out! Paradox is the first to develop an AI that can program, and you waste it on video games. ...You should probably give it another look over though, given it was happy to make CK's AI happy to castrate and blind everyone. :tinfoil:

But I swear the most blood boiling part about research was getting that "Project Over-budget" alert. After getting that 2 or 3 times in a row it makes you wish you could shove some people out an airlock just for the calming effect it would have. I hope that's an option in Stellaris for poor performing agents; have "Dismiss" be a euphemism for "spaced".

This was because the game displayed research in a particularly dumb fashion. You had a percentage change to get a tech you were researching, based on how far above the 50% it displayed on your research progress, so at 100% research you only had a 50% chance of getting the tech, leading to going over-budget on roughly half of your research. You weren't guaranteed to get a technology until you'd reached 150%.

I loved SoTS1, but it was a bit silly in places.

I just hope those anomalies aren't like goody huts in civ, those could break games fast.

Or make the techs you get zero sum, kinda. Great you explored the Warp Hole and can now build Warp Hole Drives for your ships, but now every turn during battle you have a chance to attract evil clones from the Antiverse or whatever.

An earlier dev diary talked about them, they'll initiate an event chain when researched that can lead to success, failure, or catastrophic failure.

You know what would be cool to go with the tech deck? Inventions. Victoria style. Tech's give a preset advantage, it can then randomly roll you additional benefits (or disasters) later on as inventions with certain pre-requisites in place. Paradox, I accept DLC royalties through paypal.

Thing is the random nature of the techs pretty much uses most of the invention systems modifiers (government type/ideas) anyway.

I guess I can't absolutely guarantee it but I don't see why they would break from the tradition of uploading them to ParadoxExtra on Youtube or leaving their VODs free to watch on Twitch as they currently do

I don't know if it is due to the stream quality or what but something about the font used in the game bugs me. It is sort of hard to read in a way I can't really describe.

Yeah, it looked pretty smooth. The mics need to get boosted next time because I couldn't hear a god drat thing without really cranking the volume, but it was interesting to see.

It also shows that Foci have other elements that need to be unlocked, so stuff like aligning with countries via the tree still needs footwork/involvement of the other side. So that question a few pages back gets answered!
