I want to feel like the guy making the big decisions and then getting hosed over by my incompetent bureaucracy failing to actually implement what they were supposed to do. Finding the right men for the job is more important than knowing how to do things personally! There's Barbarossa where you invade the USSR while trying not to piss of the Nazi bureaucracy.

Baronjutter posted:I love that I'm too materialistic IRL to even imagine how something like the shroud could be hard for a determined scientific study to uncover. I look at it like complex number in mathematics (or hyperreal and surreal numbers for that matter.) We had been using numbers to describe the physical universe for millennia but nobody ever measured something that was the square root of a negative number long or heavy. It took pure theoretical work in algebra to figure out that numbers have an extra dimension that jut out perpendicular to natural numbers in a way that can't be observed by Humans. No amount of measuring or experimentation would produce this result, instead it relied on people thinking in a completely non-intuitive fashion to make the leap and now all our maths and science rely on this purely intellectual discovery. I figure the shroud is similar except it transcends even mathematics and meta-physics and relies on a mystical mindset and thought patterns to comprehend.

Sisko had a Romulan ambassador assassinated so the Romulans would enter a massively destructive war on the side of the Federation.

Ersatz posted:It would be nice if this were possible. I had a scientist in my non-spiritualist empire level up and gain psionics expertise. That was exciting because I thought that I could then use that scientist to research psionic theory and gain access to the psionic ascension path from there, but nope. If you can get enough spiritualist pops in your empire to form a faction you can adopt spiritualism as one of your official ethics. ------- Ascendancy perks need to unlock a lot quicker. So far my Fanatic Militarist/Xenophile empire has: - Conquered a xenophobe fallen empire - Cock blocked the war in heaven by getting most of the galaxy to join my league of non-aligned worlds - Squished an unbidden invasion that appeared in the middle of my empire - Conquered a quarter of the galaxy And I still only have 2 ascendancy perks. All I want now is to build a ring world so my big dumb empire can retire and go into decline.

nessin posted:While I agree that some perks need to be available sooner, I'm not sure how you conquered a Fallen Empire yet only have two perks. You must have completely ignored any unity bonus and colonized like crazy in the early game. Even not thinking about unity much I've gotten 3-4 perks by the time I've hit Cruisers in three different games. I spawned in an empty part of the map with only a one neighbor so there was nothing stopping me from just expanding down the galactic arm before I ran into the FE.

It's actually less complicated. If you can handle managing all the relationships and feudal laws in CKII then Stellaris should be a breeze.

This game is a lot harder while playing on x0.5 habitable planet spawn. On x1.0 i'm usually able to grab enough planets early to tank an early war or two, but with x0.5 early fights are very much sudden death affairs. It feels more like playing a EUIV minor in the middle of the HRE without an Emperor to help out.

This game really needs an industrial production mechanic. In big slugfest wars the main determinant of victory is the speed at which you can churn out replacement fleets. While we have a lot of dials and knobs to maximise mineral production we only have a couple big levers to effect ship production and it takes horrible, tedious micro management to get the most out of it. Compared to HoI4 and Viki2 where tweaking throughput during peacetime can win you the war Stellaris wars feel very unsatisfying.

Aethernet posted:Paradox have launched a Halloween competition for people to submit Spooky Empires: In the last 500 years, the Fourth Stimpire has dominated four systems, which it has united into one starzone, Stimsis. The Fourth Stimpire has origins from the Ten Empire War in which 10 of the United Stimpires revolted against each rules. All empires except for the fourth swore freedom upon their citizens. There is no free speech in the Fourth Stimpire, and all self-controlled transportation has been made illegal without undergoing painful medical verification methods, in which arteries are severed without pain resistant, operated entirely by machines. The way they work claim to be the most hygenic and healthy way possible, but these machines often rub against pain points, causing great deals of pain to patients. The heart is then extracted from the body and placed into a glass grinding machine. Various energy centers are also dissected and replaced with dangerous transplants. After the painful, 52 hour surgical procedure, patients will then have to use a fused guidance tool, which pumps painful resistors into the body every 2 hours. The pain they have caused is so bad, the victim would freeze in a tense position. They would then collapse afterwards. Sexual stimulation in any way within the grounds of the Fourth Stimpire is strictly prohibited, and anyone detected even touching their sexual organs will be subjected to a penectomy or if the offender was a female, they would then have a razor inserted into their ovaries. They would pump a blue solution into the womb until the stitchings burst. Offenders would also be forced to show their operated areas in public, and they would always harass and punch them to a pulp, against their will. Otherwise, offenders would be tazed with the worst type of electricity in the systematic district, causing so much pain, the victim would scream and flail in madness. The pain would also triple every second, but no death would be incurred. This is also used in combat against enemy units, which is why all UEE forces must wear the upgraded suit to block this effect. However, enertainment is also questionable in UEE grounds. Sporting events end with the losing team being rounded into a grinder and shredded on live television, boxing matches end with the loser having their hands removed without anasthesia, flight races would end with the losers having their arms and legs removed, then being injected with insanity, for entertainment. People are also forced into these events, by undergoing a painful 127 hour procedure which involves tweaking the muscles so they will not listen to brain commands, and then having a painful drug injected which also causes madness if the player is not sporting. This is all for entertainment, and anyone not watching any of it during sporting times and cheering for the winning team, they will be imprisoned into galactic camps. Snuff films are also broadcast, and actors are actually murdered just for entertainment. Stealth droids also guide these forced actors into behaving exactly as the director dreams, otherwise they will be punished by being placed into a macerator and having their execution written into the film. Any film that does not feature someone being murdered will be burned and the entire crew behind it will be executed in the most grotesque way possible - vivisection. All executions are broadcast, and anyone who misses even a millisecond, even by blinking, will be executed. All citizens must boo to the person being executed, and the family is gathered to be injected with eternators, which cause pain forever, making them immoral but feeling the pain tenfold every millisecond. They cannot pass out, but they will feel like it forever. Conquests by this Stimpire end in the planet being razed, and all the citizens being executed in the same way as their citizens are. The planet is then destroyed and all remnants of it are removed, and any memories of it will be erased instantly from civil minds. People who are also killed are also erased from memories, and all memories of them, including toys and pictures, are destroyed. Prisoners undergo 40,000 years of relentless and endless labor, and anyone not complying is sentenced to the eternator injection. All prisoners injected with eternators are placed into capsules and launched into far space, then the room is closed tight to ensure maximum insanity. Some prisoners are also subjected to the removal of blood, the lungs, the liver, the genitals, the skeleton, the muscles, the eyes, and even the injection of pressure. Prisoners sentenced to pressure chambers are locked in until they are inflated to a high level. The decompression is then stopped to make sure they are inflated and uncomfortable. Children born on the 14th of July are subjected to the removal of their skeleton and an implant of a silver liquid to replace it. The nervous sysem is also injected in various parts to ensure it is five times more sensitive than the average. Restaurants also are ordered to serve civil meat, and anyone attending must give themself up to be cooked into a grotesque meal. They are cooked alive, undergoing extreme pain, and are then subjected to industrial grinders and blenders. The Stimpire orders at least 1 million citizens to be dispatched every day, as they are afraid the population may overthrow them. But only one planet is cared for, and the rest are banned from eating, drinking, talking, using technology, touching anyone, wearing unauthorized clothes, touching buildings, or walking a centimeter out of designated routes. Civil enforcers are on every planet, and they are engineered so that they are 40 times larger than the 300 quadrillion population. At least 7 billion die every 12 hours under this rule. Thoughts are also surveyed, and anyone who does not think anything to loving the Stimpire with more than their capabilities will be sentenced to a prison. Prisoners who are punished for this violation will meet their greatest fear, only to have it amplified so they will turn insane as they imagine it exactly as they fear it. They then undergo a painful extraction of all fluids, to be replaced by a toxin which causes permanent irritation. The unknown substance keeps the subject aging normally, except they will never die. Prisoners punished in this way are unable to be reverted, despite many efforts, and they will never be able to be disposed. The sickening truths have been revealed only today, and invigilation teams are still investigating the truths without setting foot in the galactic space of this sickening empire.
