Don't forget just because it says the quota is exceeded, you can still download it. Video makes me really need to play. Wish he showed rather than told so much. Other than the very beginning he's just talking while randomly zooming around the map/interface.

I'm like 99% sure this was answered ages ago, but you can customize your Earth humans (govtype, empire name, ethos, etc.) in Stellaris, right? full human xenophile communism imho

There's the default generic capitalist human indirect humans but you can make custom humans that still start in Sol. This is very important to me so I can be pacifist space socialists, although the inability to kill all whites is stripping me of my ability to feel humanoid.

One of my favorite elements of Sci-fi is how someone will discover an artifact that houses some technological/biological marvel which inevitably grows out of control and becomes the galactic menace. The thing is that in all of those stories the scientists think that they can harness and control the threat - and in some cases they could have if certain precautions had been taken. Question is: will we be able to find Borg/Zerg/... artifacts that a) can escape our control and become a rampaging threat across the galaxy and b) given specific preparation can we harness these artifacts/aliens into our war machine/infrastructure? Basically can I order my scouting vessel to "Bring back life form. Priority One. All other priorities rescinded."? And if I do can I have it turn out profitable for me if I stack the deck in my favor? double nine fucked around with this message at 23:45 on Mar 14, 2016 |

I'm pretty sure exactly that, and a spectrum of lesser risks are the basis of the whole science/exploration system. You have sufficient bio-technology and a high level scientist capture and study the horrifying alien bio-weapon, giving you insight into harnessing it your self and massively expanding your knowledge of bio-mechanical penis themed technology. Or, your hubris, greed, and pitiful technology have resulted in a disaster. Your science ship has gone silent, the eggs recovered hatched and overwhelmed the crew, and the ship has begun moving towards the nearest colony...

I just want massively divergent tech tree's. I want to be able to take humanity down the dark path of genetic manipulation where they grow ships around an unfortunate captain who is forever part of his ship. I want to encounter a planet mind where the indigenous species was absorbed by travelling gestalt and is turning the entire planet into a massive computer that could eventually turn into an endgame menace.

I want to encounter a planet that looks perfect, a little Garden of Eden, and then discover (after my poor colonists have already landed) that it's infested with some kind of weaponized species that some past war left behind and wiped out the ancient alien colonists, and are now wiping out my own colonists. And I'm faced with the choice of investing massive amounts of resources into claiming this planet, fighting off the weaponized aliens, and potentially even harvesting them for my own (dangerous and risky) use down the line, or leaving the planet alone but potentially having my rival succeed at that costly endeavour in their effort to find some way to defeat me. And then I choose option 3 and nuke the planet from orbit, destroying the menace but ruining the perfect colony

I'm sure there will be tons of rad and surprising events/paths/chains like that to discover, and I'm sure it will grow with DLC and mods. We already know "super weapons" will be a DLC and they've said they want to beef up how federations/alliances work in future too. This game sounds like it has a huge depth of content right out of the box, yet look how much paradox games develop over the years. In a couple years we could be looking back thinking "how did we enjoy stellaris playing in only one galaxy". We can't even fathom the avenues for DLC here. More race types, more galactic "terrain", more events, more tech, more primitives, more detailed internal politics, more detailed federations, better trade, pre-set "historical" scenarios, more ethos and social choices, more hats/outfits for your leader pic. I'm sure they already have a few planned, but many will depend on community feedback. What aspects of the game are people begging for more of or want more detail in? What aspects are people hoping they'll re-visit because maybe they're kinda poo poo? Imagine a DLC that fleshed our federations better where the founding member(s) could agree to all sorts of different laws and structures. Perhaps federation president rotates but only between founding members, perhaps it's down to a vote where 1 member = 1 vote, or based on population, or based on an actual free popular vote of the citizens of the federation. Imagine the plots and politics to ensure your candidate wins the election. Perhaps your "federation" has its leadership locked to your empire. Perhaps you could join a federation and over time subvert its policies and turn into into a united empire ala something like the HRE mechanics. Imagine DLC that added in nomads/hoard style playable races that roamed around in fleets rather than permanently settling on planets. Or really any sort of aliens that don't fit the general mold. Maybe they live in suns, maybe they live in the void between systems and hate gravity. In the base game aliens all play by the same rules and obey the same general mechanics, but asymmetrical mechanics can be really cool (but potentially hard to balance in a game that has decided it needs to be balanced). Hell I'd be pumped just to have playble robots. Would love playing some Meklon style dudes that are mostly or wholly robotic and follow slightly different food/growth mechanics.

This game sounds like it has a huge depth of content right out of the box, yet look how much paradox games develop over the years. In a couple years we could be looking back thinking "how did we enjoy stellaris playing in only one galaxy". I went into detail about a Federation DLC idea I had in an earlier post in this thread, where feds start off as a more permanent military alliance and over time can be reformed like the HRE in EU4, where the federation can become an independent AI entity and the leadership position stops rotating. You could also do merchant republic variations of this and have different kinds of federations, trade, military, defensive etc. at many different levels of complexity and purposes. Other DLC ideas off the top of my mind would be; - Racial DLC pack that makes each species type more unique and have their own special tech tree's to pick from at game start. Mushroom people could have terraforming bonuses or trade pop growth for increases population cap. Aquatic species would be hugely defensive on their own worlds etc. - Economy DLC with private entities that let you create corporations that exploit and colonize for you. This could include pirates as well and let these entities create space stations that amplify your economy. In times of war, corporations that have been allowed to keep private navies could be pressed into service to defend your empire. There's loads of options and depending how easy it is to mod a lot of tech stuff can make it in through mods on day one.

I was wondering if any ck2 vets could help me figure this out: I'm playing as Charlemagne, control all of de jure burgundy; east. middle and west francia, frisia, and Lombardy. I want to create an empire (but not the HRE because I don't want to give the pope any land) but when I click the button, I become the empire of West Francia and not the Empire of Francia.....does anyone know why?

I think that was due to a combination of xenophobic and collectivist. Or maybe I am thinking of something else, like wiz's comments about his xenophobes demanding more alien slaves and then revolting because the alien slaves stole their jobs.

It seems to be supposed to represent people valuing the good of the collective (which could be many things including the state ruling the collection of citizens/subjects) over the rights or needs of the individuals making up the collective, such an outlook might very well accept the slavery of some individuals as benefitting the collective as a whole. Collectivist is not supposed to equal socialist or marxist or communist or anything like that, though collectivism + materialism would be much closer to that.

Dreylad posted:- It's really hard to terraform a planet, and the dev says he hates game where the player owns every single planet in every single solar system the end of the game. "So every planet should be precious and unique." This sounds like an interesting project to undertake as the game goes on: terraforming every world in your home system to be habitable planets your home POPs can colonize. This may lead into players colonizing and conducting imperialist wars just to feed resources into their home system but drat your home system will be amazing.
