I haven't played Stellaris ever since pre-leviathan, is stacking a ton of tachyon lances on a battleship fleet still the best or are there alternatives?

1. Replace Syncretic Evolution with Cutthroat Politics. 2. Take your Militarism down a notch and add Spiritualist. 3. Get rid of Repugnant and Extremely Adaptive, replace with Adaptive and Natural Engineers.
Luis Clark

Luis Watson
How am I minmaxing? I would have venerable elder and wouldn't be a damn slaver if I was. Yeah, you are probably right. I was thinking when I made it fanatic militarists should really be for Sparta-tier warrior cultures. I think I will switch it with authoritarian.
This one. One on MEGA is from March, and the one on Steam got updated in April.

Also for some reason i'm now swiming in influence, waht am i supposed to do with it earlygame?
Luis Nelson
Good ideas. I think I'll use that.

>Spiritualist romans Dude if they were spiritualists then all historical civilizations were so, they had a religion but they were very low key about compared to most other historical nations. Unless you are thinking about late roman empire and the byzantine, then yes they should be spiriualist and have the divne mandate gov as the religious aspect of the Emperors became a lot more important.

historylearningsite.co.uk/ancient-rome/ancient-rome-and-religion/ >The Romans believed that gods controlled their lives and, as a result, spent a great deal of their time worshipping them. >After the reign of the Emperor Augustus (27 BC to AD 14), the emperor was also considered to be a god and he was worshipped on special occasions. >Each family home would also have a small altar and shrine. The Romans had personal household gods or spirits called ‘lares’ which were worshipped every day at home. They may have been slightly more secular than other ancient civilizations, but spirituality was still an extremely important aspect of Roman society even while they still followed Hellenic paganism.

That's a good boy. But unfortunately your IP has already been logged by the FBI.

No, but many ancient civilizations and societies, Rome included, were strongly invested in a mythological pantheon of some sort (except the Persians and Israelites, they had Zoroastrianism and Judaism respectively). By the time of the Middle Ages, this was transposed with Christianity in Europe and Islam in the Middle East. Only in the Renaissance did secularism begin to circulate as a common practice among nations.
David Brown
Should I invest fully in armor/shields or should I have a little bit of both?
Jordan Cox
What if I genuinely hate the developer and don't want to give them money?

Were the muslim medieval nations fanatic spiritualists and militarist or fanatic militarist and spiritualists?
Isaiah Campbell
I never said Stellaris was shitty, stop putting words in my mouth. If they lowered the price to something more reasonable and started aiming to fix the true problems (diplomacy, trade, war), I'd be more inclined to actually purchase it. It's called voting with your wallets. Also this , and to you can hate a developer and still admit that they made a game that's reasonably entertaining.
Daniel Smith

All white mod is still in the workshop, you giant baby.
Henry Adams
Depends on your power tech, weapon tech, and who you're fighting.
If your enemies have armor-pierce, use shields. If they use shield-pierce, use armor.
Personally I care more about power use. You always want to be as close to 0 power on a given ship as possible, so I give each ship the best systems it can have, the best weapons, and then see what I have left for shielding. I think all ships should have at least a small amount of shields, because shields recharge so it's effectively damage reduction, but if I don't have enough power for shields and a free slot left, I'll put armor on. For bigger ships, I like to keep it at 1:2 shield / hull ratio and fill the rest with armor.
Lincoln Diaz
Fanatic spiritualists and militarist
Jonathan Ward
Kind of off topic here, but I wonder why the people who made the all white mod didn't just make a race-based mod in general, so it seemed less 'offesneive'.
Like just a little option or tickbox that makes a human faction 'All white, all black, all middle eastern, all asian, etc.'
That way, everyone is happy.

Aaron Green
At this point even for shit i actually own, i just pirate it because it works just fine without 3 layers of download managers with ingame reminders to login and shit, and i can actually archive them for the time when a mandatory patch (wich it will want to dowload before doing anything else) fucks everything up 5-10 years from now, or it gets cucked from content like the old GTAs with the music license running out, or saboteur losing its DLCs because the authentication server shut down. And thats not mentioning games with gamespy sickness. On top of that thanks to general DLC and preorder fuckery and releasing GOTY/gold editions and shit its usually the only viable way to get the full experience wihtout shelling out 300 bucks
So yeah, buying a game is a formality nowdays to show support for deserving devs, as the pirated copy is a flat-out superior product most of the time.
Evan Hernandez
>I'd be more inclined to actually purchase it No you wouldn't. Paradox could make this game a 10/10 and you'd still pirate it. Don't even try to pretend otherwise.
The fact you pirated it in the first place demonstrates the game is good enough for you to spend your time on. Hence, it's good enough to spend your money on, but you're just too entitled to do so, and too delusional or insecure to admit it.
Nathaniel Baker
i don't think that's an appropriate image hmmmm

I wouldn't believe you, but if you were telling the truth I'd concede that you have a reasonable excuse and I'd wish you luck with your financial situation in the future.
