thats not minmaxing its just about not wanting to manage the little shits so i can focus less on inferior xeno scum and more on the status of my beautiful Human Empire

Playing as imperium is the most unimaginative thing you can do in stellaris.

Is this the dwarf fort of 4x?

I want a mod that actually makes them look like mastodons when they are in tundra. The idea of an alternate history where they survived tickles my fancy.

Will races who go for bio ascension run to the machines to save them from the Psionics sacrificing them to their gods or to the Psionics to save them from the rise of the machines?

Yes it is. You will need a similar possibly greater level of autism and masochism to truly appreiciate it, and it's mandatory fractal spreadsheet micromanagement.

Jesus what speed are you playing on? What's your playtime? I could barely make it to sedentary living on the speed below marathon, fuck microing hunters
Carter Robinson
I'm still feeling like Biological Ascension is really weak compared to the other options. You probably won't even feel any real difference in your empire until you reach the very end of the Ascension path and even then the bonus will only be slight.

EL got a new DLC, time for purest love!
Carter Jackson
That's just great, you plonker. You could've done that for the best part of the last 100 years but nooo, you had to wait until the FE became AE (and its fleet Superior instead of Equivalent) to decide to prod them in the balls with a fukken taser.

Is it possible to create something like The Federation of Planets in Stellaris?
I've been meaning to play this game but I'm a pirate, the latest expansion was cracked but not the patches that followed and didn't want to play without the balance fixes. See that this new patch got cracked by a group called plaza on extra and includes everything. I have seen releases from them before but never tried them, is this ok to download?
Jose Torres
>is this ok to download? Probably not. No legit scene group cracks patches, it's always some noname Russian or Chinks that load it up with malware.
Charles Cooper
But it's from a trusted uploader and I've heard of them, just never tried one of their releases.
Fuck it, I'll risk it.
Nicholas Hernandez

Looks like Cossacks 3 FINALLY made the mercenaries interesting.
Lincoln Bennett
Contrary to what one would expect, 10 years later they still haven't done anything. And they've been belligerent since becoming an AE. Tbh they'd be attacking 80% of the galaxy at once so picrelated maybe? Who the fuck knows.

How do I tell them I cant keep pretending anymore
Aiden Gray
Sometimes when it's me versus the rest of the galaxy at once I wonder what could have been if I never turned on my defensive pact allies once I outgrew them.
Anthony Perry
Wait was the liberated empire still Fanatical Purifier?
Jordan Cox
You need F. Xenophobe / Militarist for Fanatical Purifiers. He's Xenophobe / Militarist / Materialist so any empire liberated by him wouldn't be Fanatical Purifiers.
Isaiah Jenkins
Nah, they are just "mildly xenophobe genocidicals" now
Ryan Phillips

If I start as an Oligarchy, research Synths, get a Synth leader and then switch to autocracy will I always get Synth lheads of state from that point on?

Jesus Christ. The stupid thing is this war strat is not even smart, and the only reason it's not used by everyone is because it's so counter-intuitive. But now that I know it's objectively the best it really cheapens the game for me.
In case you're wondering, the strat is just to mass base level corvettes with no upgrades. Because they're so cheap in maintenance, you can go up to x2.0 your fleet limit and still be affordable. Any kind of higher level equipment (even weapons) are not worth the cost increase. That tech tree you have access to? That's all a trap. The only tech that matters is the spaceport one, since it allows you to build corvette assembly yards.
I'll probably continue this game and see how long this type of fleet can carry me. But my guess is this objective the best fleet composition until you can mass cruisers.

I just got the the AI revolution chain for the first time I have already started dissmantling anything with screws I have to remove sentient AI from ship cores dont I?
Austin Sanchez

Nolan Robinson
Is VI good now?
Jaxson Torres
You are trying to trick me, dont you
Ryder Baker
it's playable
Josiah Kelly
I'm not. Your ships don't rebel funnily enough. I suppose the AI running your ships are all bloodthirsty warmongers as apposed to the Synths you're using for slave labour who have more sophisticated personalities so your ships just don't give a fuck.
Juan Moore
The sectors will completely fuck up trying to figure out how to create more organic pops to cover the empty mining slots wont they?
Angel Torres
>The sectors will completely fuck up Generally yes.
>trying to figure out how to create more organic pops to cover the empty mining slots wont they? Organic pops just grow. I can't imagine even sectors can fuck up your pops having sex.
Angel Jackson
The planets need more food now for reaching max pops, meaning the sectors need to demolish buildings to make more farms
Anthony Martinez
Ah. Yeah you're probably fucked.

I'm not sure whether to call that smart or retarded. Spaceports are supposed to be early fleet killers, right?
Jack Reyes
Ok, I'll give it a shot.
>tfw people keep shitting on it and recommend V or older instead >fucking sick of V >the older ones have square tiles which make them literally unplayable for me
VI is the only choice.
Joshua Murphy
>margem sul moroccan/10
Samuel Wood
Protip: if your enemy has multiple planets, some of them will not have spaceports. If you crush their fleet and invade one planet of a 2 planet empire, you get 80+ warscore. If you invade 2 planets of a 4 planet empire, you get 100 warscore. You can use this to take their homeworld and permanently cripple them for the rest of the game. They never recover.
That's by far the most economical way, but if you spam hard enough you can also beat spaceports. You should be strong enough to do so after following the above strategy.
Michael Price
Well yeah, that's what I usually do except within fleet cap. With your strat you just render spaceports useless so you can just roll over them and not anchor outside their capital catching strays after you capture the first/second planet.
Connor Miller
So, I have spawned next to fanatical purifiers. Should I get ready for war and launch a pre-emptive strike? How likely are they to attack even if I forty myself?

Have you played it since the update? It's better than Civ 5.
Jackson Sanders
Perfectly possible on normal difficulty but on insanity you will barely get one after 20 years. If they are advanced they become just unbeatable during that time gap.
Nicholas Hernandez
Better than civ5 with the brave new world expansion pack?
