I always start off being nice until some leader insults me for no reason.

More blood for the blood god 🤷‍♂️

What happens when I try to play Stellaris:

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I am straight up the Dominion. I have to really keep at raising the cap for my army because I'm going to be pumping out attack vessels non-stop to overwhelm the galaxy with forces.

Although I also like the Ferenghi method of just buying everyone.

It's too bad I just have the base game cuz I'd love to try doing what I did back in Spore and just blow up every planet that isn't mine.

When I play Stellaris: Just democratic things...

I really wanted to love the game when I tried it but really felt I didn't know what was going on or how to do anything even even though I did the tutorial and everything. The theme is so cool and really appeals to me, maybe I should try again someday

The same publishing company (but different development studio) recently released a simplified, licensed Star Trek game built on the Stellaris Engine.

It’s a little rough around the edges right now but it’s an official Star Trek title and it’s much easier to get into than Stellaris, and it’s currently on sale for $20

Haha I liked dwarf fortress so much though. For some reason I was able to do that one.

The joke is that it'll take 1444 hours to get through EU4's tutorial. And it isn't a bad joke. Stellaris is a little different in that the replayability depends more on randomness than the other Paradox titles. But that randomness suffers from the "bowl of oatmeal" problem.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procedural_generation

Particularly in the application of procedural generation with video games, which are intended to be highly replayable, there are concerns that procedural systems can generate infinite numbers of worlds to explore, but without sufficient human guidance and rules to guide these. The result has been called "procedural oatmeal", a term coined by writer Kate Compton, in that while it is possible to mathematically generate thousands of bowls of oatmeal with procedural generation, they will be perceived to be the same by the user, and lack the notion of perceived uniqueness that a procedural system should aim for.

I should really try this game again. I'm just so bad at it :(

A solid strategy is to build as many research stations as possible and grab everything that increases reswarch speed when its there. If you do it right you'll start fielding your first battleships while others are still outfitting their first destroyers.
