Ms Adequate posted:I've seen a couple of other people around the Net mention the same thing, but nobody seems to know if it's a WAD mechanic we haven't got to grips with yet or a bug. I had this happen to me in two wars. Utterly destroy an opponent and they reach 100% war exhaustion...and we just do a status quo peace despite my WE being like 15. It’s maybe my only gripe about the new patch/expansion. It’s super loving good, and I love how long the early game takes now- since it’s the best part of the game.

How long do you need to bombard a planet to turn it into a tomb world? I didn’t have a very large fleet (3 destroyers and 20 corvettes) but I bombed a world for 7 years and most of the planet was rubble, but I had to stop because war exhaustion was at 90.

Seeing everyone post species, made me want to post the one I've been enjoying the most since 2.0 hit. Here are the Khemplar, Saviors of Freedom! They arose on a gaia world many millennia ago and have since come to realize that the bedrock of their species foundation, their planet, is...too perfect to have been the mere coincidence of evolution. Being a naturally spiritualistic people, they have managed to assemble all of their people together under a holy banner that cares for all Khemplar, and gives every one of their species an equal voice in their government! They know not what lies in the great voids of space, but they know their destiny is to reach every last tendril of these star systems and make sure that any who reside outside their borders recognize that true freedom exists for them!  In death! *** Purifiers are also super fun this patch thanks to clear defensive positions and the way wargoals have changed. Every war being a total war is fantastic and creates tension, like when that 2 man block declared war on me while my main fleet was on the other side of the galaxy. Its also fun when the galaxy generation decides to help my ~ immersion ~ and make every other species a bunch of slavers. Somehow, being a purifier feels good when you're killing slavers all day. War Exhaustion is still weird though, killing a fleet? Thats 80% war exhaustion, turning 3 planets into tomb worlds? eh 15 war exhaustion works. Either way, if you're a bit on the fence about the war system right now, i heartily recommend purifiers until 2.1 works the balance out.

Pirates are still loving stupid. It reminds me of rebels in eu4 back when it was a %to rise up rather than a progress bar you could do something with. Like taking a system and then within a month the very next system is now filled with pirates? Especially when my construction ship is literally on the way to build an outpost there to begin with? They aren’t fun to whack a mole, and can strike frequently if the rng rolls bad. I’d be satisfied with a slider on startup for frequency of pirates until they’re turned into something interesting, because right now they’re loving stupid and frustrating.

So uh, is the militarist war exhaustion gain bugged? I’m in the beta, going against a fanatic xenophobe-pacifist while being a fanatic egalitarian militarist. I’m gaining much higher attrition exhaustion than they are. I’m currently at 18 attrition while they are at 12. Im pretty sure it should be the other way around.

Zane posted:you're probably losing a few more ships as a proportion of your total. if you manage to occupy a few planets your exhaustion will turn around. and with status quo peace you'll be able to keep them regardless of who gets to 100% first. I was gaining higher attrition before a battle had even been fought! I currently have 38 attrition to their 25 despite having only 9 WE from space battles to their 17.

I countered the contingency with all hull based weaponry: disrupters, arc weapons, cloud lightning, etc., Works really well because they have a shitload of shields and armor and half that in Hull. Also, playing as fanatic purifiers and I’d really like slave modifiers and slave buildings to be allowed for pops im force laboring. I want those extra minerals and less strong holds damnit  As well, a life-seeded fanatic purifiers is real fun. Your early game is super strong and your mid game is super weak, so you need to kill your neighbors quickly so you can handle your bad tech/tradition hangover.

I greatly used habitats in my recent life seeded run to basically create some ways to get more population in the mid-game before I could terraform into gaia planets. This wouldn't have changed much for that playthrough (since I was fanatic purifier and was already trying to keep somewhat small), but for any other type of species build, I wouldn't see a reason to use them.

It’s a new story pack, theres no overlap between game design/ai design and story writing. I don’t know why this argument happens every time a new dlc comes out. Unlike the other paradox teams that have overloaded their game with features, the stellaris team just trimmed some fat off and breathed new life into the game. A story pack seems like a good “breather” while core problems are fixed and refined.

And even then, when I think of mana bar type mechanics- they’re superficial and add very little in terms of content. Whereas unity is pretty ingrained as a game mechanic and can radically change how you govern your empire. Try and compare that to innovativeness.

At least with the ftl change, the people upset had a point. The game had sold itself with multiple ftl choices for you to pick from and that was now gone. It was a good thing in the long term, but there’s at least an argument to be made there. Removing tiles and changing it to something else isn’t getting rid of a feature, it’s a gameplay system being changed to a different gameplay system. They aren’t just removing the ability to manage economys and pops. I don’t understand why paradox fans always seem to pick the dumbest battles to fight over.

So...has anyone seen beyond the l-gate? I played a round and hyper focused on getting behind it and There’s just some special resources and a couple other new systems. The nanite planets look cool, but there’s gotta be more right? If not, disappointment is a massive understatement as to what I feel.

I’m noticing the AI loves point defense this patch, building nothing but corvs and destroyers with heavy point defense armaments. And according to the after battle results, this has worked out to them shooting down about 5-8% of my total missile output As much as I keep enjoying the absurdity of missile boats just being the most OP poo poo, i do hope there’s a meta change so I can build some heavies again.

Captain Invictus posted:For some reason ever since the update the game tends to hang for about ten seconds every so often. What's causing this? It never did it before. Are other folks having a similar issue? It doesn't seem to happen from any particular event, it's like when an integration finishes late game or something, but every couple minutes. Yup, but it’s SUPER noticeable in multiplayer. Got a mp game going that hangs every minute or so for a couple of seconds. This is on top of sync issues every 20-30 years.

Wow, I’ve gone 450 hours and never seen that before. I really did think it was new! I got everyone’s dead, so no answers for the mutant question.

I really REALLY hate how ground combat works. Combat width will say like 10 but I only see two or three armies actually dealing and taking damage. And the enemy armies seem to always gang up on exactly one of mine, meaning they take all the damage, don’t disengage in time, and die. Not a big deal except that ground combat seems to have a disproportionate effect on war exhaustion since they seem to lose none from losing a whole planet, but I take 5 for losing 2 armies. It just feels like it’s better to bombard until the armies are gone but that’s really slow and boring...especially since the AI decided to build like 5 fortresses and a war factory on one planet. It’s definitely built to benefit the defensive player, but the chokepoint system already does that and makes going on the offense (which is like 75% of the fun in the game right now) unfun and a slog.

This seems to be really loving over the AI who send 30k fleets to their death over and over. noticed the same thing. i would have been in real deep poo poo if i hadnt massed all my fleets to be safe. the fleet orbiting the hub suddenly jumped from 75k to 250k, which is uh quite a difference.

That way even species that would normally get along, hate each other for a bit because some diplomat inadvertently called their diplomat fat and now they want to be able to devour him alive - as is their custom.

I’d say it is. There’s been some stumbles, but overall I’d say stellaris’ future is incredibly bright. I have little doubt that next years version of stellaris is going to be even better than the current version, which isn’t something I can say of the other paradox games right now.

It also may be a bit convoluted, but it’d be cool to have like some kind of benevolent overlord kind of relationship with primitives. Where you aren’t actively studying on them (kid napping them to stuff them with implants) or trying to infilitrate/uplift them. But just more of a “angelic role” - where your species tries to stay in the background and help them advance through the epochs a bit faster and otherwise take care of them. This could give the same benefits as aggressive studying, but without the assholeish implications for the nicer species of the galaxy. really queer Christmas fucked around with this message at 11:43 on Jun 9, 2018 |
