AI might be broken though. It's possible this release is a bit hot out of the oven.

At least I can spend some time just making a new selection of empires to force spawn in my galaxy.

They're going to wait until everyone has left the office for the day, then Wiz is going to get as close to the door as possible, lean all the way over and quickly jab the Enter key to release the game before sprinting out of the building. Then leave everyone to complain for 12 hours before the have to look at it again.

I just hope the 3rd party steam key seller I got from actually sends the keys on time, I've had weirdness with sites like that before. Sometimes accidentally releasing hours early, sometimes days late.

An idea just occurred to me; it should be entirely possible to mod the branch office mechanic for other ends, especially for instance allowing a nice xenophile empire to set up things like disaster relief organizations, education institutions, diplomatic services, cultural exhibitions, all kinds of stuff that could both help your friends and boost relations. Or the contrary, black ops sites, terror cells, infiltration so you can be Romulans or the Dominion.

Fake e; was just about to post when I realized that the thing we REALLY need is to be able to put stuff on primitive worlds! Then you could have all kinds of ways to influence them beyond just one of a couple of overall options. Build an Education Foundation and help them advance through the ages better, and integrate faster when they get to space. Medical facilities to ingratiate yourselves or deploy chemtrails to genemod them. Secret facilities that let you go Full Ethereal, and XCOM2 them. Instead of just choosing a policy from an orbital station, you place facilities that open up policy options.

There are a lot of hooks in this release that enable a wide scale diplomatic revamp. It’s gonna be awesome.

Make one of the possible Sol IIIs be a middle-ages period Earth, only populated by Horses.

Please tell me a thrall world with the dangerous animals or high gravity modifier does weird stuff. Same for penal colonies and other negative modifiers.

Actually, has there been any word on there being more modifiers?

I like your style hombre, but this is no laughing matter. Assault on a police officer. Theft of police property. Illegal possession of a firearm. FIVE counts of attempted murder. That comes to... 29 dollars and 40 cents. Cash, cheque, or credit card?

Not yet, but only a few hours away (like 6-8 hours). L-Gates are super cool and I had a great time when I first opened one, but sometimes they're a little lame. Keep expectations in check and don't get too disappointed if you're let down. Have a good time.

This is the Captain...

Our glorious political masters have, in their wisdom, decided to form an alliance with a rag-tag bunch of freedom fighters right when the Federation has us at a tactical disadvantage. Unsurprisingly, this has resulted in the Feds firing on our vessels...

Damn you Huxley!

You can't fool us with your blatant spelling errors. Bestiality is still mandatory for all Swedes.

Although I haven't done anything as robust as counting, I think the horse-tile hybrid thread title is in the lead. Get any final votes in before 1600 GMT, and then I'll send it to mods.
