/civ4xg/ - Stellaris, Civilization & 4X Strategy General

Greek.
It has egyptian and asian analogues.

ALIENS

Has anyone figured out pops_auto_upgrade_to?

It's 2016, racism isn't funny.

It's Hitlerious.

Its 2017-1.Its always funny.

...

Can you believe its the CURRENT YEAR and people are still saying things I don't agree with?

I'm not racist, but racist jokes are the best.

racist jokes work because they are based on truth

I mean come on, it's 2016! All fucking niggers must fucking hang!

...

Racism is a crime and crime is for niggers.

I find racist jokes funny

t. spic

...

what's a good fortress design?

All shields.
No weapons.
Not even memeing.

Tell me which one of these is objectively the best strategy:

>maximizing happiness (to get the +20% joyful bonus)
>going full slavery (+ researched slavery bonuses)
>going full synths

is the patch out?

All small weapons if you use FTL interceptor.

If I uplift militaristic xenophobes will they hate my guts or will they just refuse to migrate but otherwise be me burvs?

Someone should make a mod to cause all xenophones appear like this when interacting with xenos.

>2016
>not playing hyperspace-only games
>not playing the most strategic mode of the game

so just shields to keep the enemy occupied?

But minorities can't be racist. That' what tumblr taught me.

>xenophones

I mean xenophobes, god damn it.

Are you implying that minorities can't do something better than white man?
Are you racist or something?

No, I'm just saying that racism toward white people doesn't exist. That's what Tumblr people told me, and obviously they're right.

...

Any form of ethnic tribalism is racism.

Stating otherwise is racism

But that's racist

Hold the FUCK up. If I have strong negative ethics divergence, will that make conquered pops adopt my ethos?

I just noticed some xeno pops on my annexed vassal's planet used to be militaristic but now are not.

Do slaves get happiness bonuses?

What is considered the definitive mod for Civilization V complete?
The community Balance Mod?
I have over 30 hours in the game and I'm looking to enhance my experience.

Uinstall.exe

>The community Balance Mod?
nope

*slowclap*

>I'd post a proper sarcastic gif but I'm on my phone

community balance patch etc.

it pretty much unfucks the more idiotic design decisions

Give that man a Nobel.

>3 turns into beyond the sword
>it's a barbarian event round
>5 out of 12 civs gets spit roasted by barbarians in 10 turns, me included

Am I the only person here who just can't play as an avian race? I just can't identify with a race of bird people.

>Not playing as an avian empire of Kentucky Freed Chickens

Stop eating at KFC then.

>I just can't identify with a race of bird people.

>but I'm perfectly fine identifying with a race of mushrooms

They're just lizards with feathers m8. Some look straight up like velocitaptors

>Sectoring pops increases their ethic divergence

They're making sectors the shittiest possible alternative and then make it the only alternative, aren't they?

>Kentucky Freed Chickens

That's what I'd call liberated avian colonies.

Nope

Speaking of Ethics Divergence, how do I fix it in 1.1? It's out of fucking control.
I tried changing the value in the defines.txt but it did nothing.

>people honestly like the Reptile aesthetic
why

Not while vassals exist

You pick collectivism

I do but it's fucked up even then, if it goes too high it makes the ethics never change.
I have a pop at 80 % happiness and - 70 % Ethics Divergence and over 20 years it never changed ethics.

Why is everyone complaining about ethics divergence? What does it even do? I've never had any problems with it and I haven't paid any mind to it. I had Encourage free thought on for 500 years in my current game and it's done nothing detrimental.

...

...

Same for me. I just ignore ethics and hope nobody blows anyone else up.
Would be nice to see a population breakdown that included ethics tho, right now there's only the one for different species.

>As a scientist, I abhor violence
What did he mean by this?

Some of the hulls give me Taiidani feels.
Granted, most of them are shit but the same can be said for all the other archetypes.

I'm the exact opposite. I love playing as Avians.

Though Platypus is my favorite

Ok so if i wanna make a race that takes over the galsxy through non militant migration, how would i do it?
What traits/ethos would i pick?
Xenophobic? Will they even emigrate?
Isolated?

kek

>I just can't identify with a race of bird people.

It's not really nice when you're playing as a Xenophobe with xeno only slavery and your fanatic xenophobes turn into individualists who go super unhappy because you're using slavery

It's just artificial difficulty. Your sector pops will eventually go insanely unhappy and there's nothing you can do to stop it

>nothing you can do to stop it
>lying on the internet
There's always EU4 for people like you, user.

No user, destroy this fucking book.

>your population will become unhappy for no real reason based on the whims of plebeian culture, followed by demanding you do everything differently to please them
Just like real life.

This is how the government during the counter culture must have felt.

Day of the rope is near

Is there EVER a reason to go xenophobic?

The only one I can think of is if you want to only enslave xenos and don't want to use other ways to get 100% slavery tolerance.

Dunno. Scientists love violence in all its forms. From tormenting robots, to making frankenstein mice to just plain blowing shit up, scientists love violence.

Is this a reference to le petit prince? Is there ANYTHING that isn't a meme reference to something in this game? I just saw Omicron Persei yesterday ffs

Xenophobic gives you more influence and gives you the xeno only options

>Better sector AI when.

Same day we get AIs in Paradox games that can use navies and transports properly and does shit with armies other than arbitrarily moving doomstacks around to little purpose.

>Is this a reference to le petit prince?
I think it's a reference to Machiavelli, seeing as how the book you return is a treatise on politics.

>Xenophobic gives you more influence

Seriously? Fuck... I might need to consider it.

In 1.1 xenophobic gives you more influence from rivalries

Never.
Enemy AI is so shitty that it even don't bother to blow up outposts.

Why do you have those names redboxed? Do you think those aren't European names?

>No 'autopurge pops with different ethos' for collectivists

The other option is to keep it for yourself and get some influence. Can't destroy it. Both options give you fuck all anyways.

What's the point of playing this game past 2350?

I found a floating tree of life that heals people or something and pressed "Give it to the leaders", do I get any benefits now or was that just a pointless event just for the fuck of it?

>play any space 4X game
>research new tech
>unlocks new building
>have to go through every single colony, one by one, and put in an order for the new building
>repeat any time a new research level unlocks a new building
More of these games need assign all, upgrade all and build-at all buttons.

Turians are avians and they are dank as fuck

you need 1.1b

Mass effect aliens are cool though.

Read the tooltips you fucking idiot. Your leaders live a whole lot longer now.

I think the greater problem is that every Space strategy game wants to make you handle sub-planet level micro. It's a bit silly that a leader with an empire spanning dozens of stars is dicking around with build orders on some backwater planet.

Sectors kind of... like, wants to deal with this, but the AI is terrible. It would be much simpler if you could simply set an ethos for a planet (Focus on growth, science, industry, military, etc..) and it would develop in that direction.

>It's 2016, racism isn't funny.

Sorry, bitch, history is cyclical. In 2016, racism has become funny again and progressives are on the wrong side of history.

>What is considered the definitive mod for Civilization V complete?

Just playing Civ IV instead.
