/civ4xg/ - Strategy/4X General

What happens when you colonize it anyway?

A war to humilate you?

"Land of Opportunity" edict gives a planet +100% migrant attraction.

>Strictly against defiling ones natural body with cybernetics
>Is literally a robot
>Strictly against genetical modification of a robot species
>Is literally a robot
>Strictly against building robots
>Is literally a fucking robot

They're all fucking robots.

Don't they know they're robots?

They can't be oblivious to that, can they?

Should someone tell them?

Also robots are running a Human Primacy Movement. They insist that their robot species is kept genetically pure

>made a fleet so big that fleet window refuses to show up
>cant split, cant upgrade, cant do shit
>only solution is probably to lose some of those ships for the fleet window to appear again

Bravo Paradox, fucking bravo bravissimo..

>using mods

>Bravo Paradox, fucking bravo bravissimo..
lol

yes. and they remove you from that world, if memory serve.

if you colonize a Holy World the fallen empire will ask you to leave it and if you refuse they will go to war to purge the world. They're usually called something like Prophet's Retreat

but what if I want to move specific pops?

Im building my destoyers with a large weapon and point defense is that dumb?

>Im building my destoyers with a large weapon and point defense is that dumb?
No it's the only way they are useful since they hang back a lot more than Cruiser & Corvettes do.

Late game weapon for me on a destroyer is almost always a Kinetic Battery and a Medium Flak.

Try making a decent game next time Johan, maybe i wont have to mod it to be playable.

Dont forget that there are no key shortcuts to do anything ..
In space 4x in 2017 you have to do everything by mouse ... Im amazed no one rages about it.

I still don't understand what happened. The AI in stellaris jumps between the general shit for these types of games, to mediocore, but during that last push it felt like the AI just went into absolute HAL9000 mode. Was actually fun to lose, because before that winning was super easy overall.

Time for a new game.

This is just getting creepy

What mod is that?

When can I give AI rights when I'm a fanatical materialist?

What about crusiers ive been filling them with m slots with auto cannons with shields and shield recharges

It's not.

I was just about to colonize a planet with a toy factory!

It's base game, i just had the same happen a few hours ago

Goign with it give you some pretty strong building at the end that increases energy a lot but with a happiness debuff. Pretty sure it's a reference i don't know

what is the meaning of the blue planet option?

But the text is retarded and the options sound stupid. It sounds like the kind of crap you'd see in a Flash game that doesn't take itself seriously.

TOP WRITING PARADOX

Sentient AI

It's not a mod, it's a rare DLC event.

The Worm genuinely loves you.

End of Cycle uses you.

How is it decided which planets have one? At random?

Terraforming.

They have women writers you know.
Don't be sexist by criticizing their hard work.

Oh, it's far from finished. There are more things waiting further down in the rabbit hole.

WHAT WAS SHALL BE WHAT SHALL BE WAS

It's not the end, it's broken right now. You're supposed to get one more tech, then the Worm comes and turns your home system into a black hole, every planet becomes a habitable tombworld, and you get tomb world preference. Or you can kill the Worm.

V splits fleet, m8...

This is not the end. It's the beginning.

What fucking crisis is this idiot talking about? This FE awakened like a few hundred years ago, asked me to become their vassal, I said no, they said k and they've just sat there doing nothing since then.

This dude's like a loony cat lady who's in a street corner screaming and yelling shit about an upcoming end of the world..

I know you're trolling but I stil rage.

It's a long quest. Many more weird things await you.

Well it's a shame i got my shit pushed in by the psychic dudes.

SHame too, i had the perfect result for the infinity machine, tech through the roof

YOU CAN'T STOP THE SPIDER!

Was Armageddon stance ever fixed by default or do I still need to mod it?
Is this just one of those things paracucks don't actually want to work properly?

>Scary spooder

>Armageddon stance ever fixed

nope

can you post the mod you're using if you have one, though?

It looks like they don't want purifiers to work at all.

How do I increase the chance of getting sentient AI and Synthetics?

Oh right.

Still, there are no keys for upgrade, repair etc. My point stands.

oh boy just you wait

Never believe what a Stellarian says

If he means the Unbidden by that, then those guys have been dead for hundreds of years.

I don't remember seeing any unbidden since I destroyed the portal.

put on a Maniacal or Computer specialist scientist in charge of physics and be materialist. That's basically it. Infinity engine can give it to you wholesale, which is quite nice if you find it early.

Funny you say that because the guy who wrote the horizon events works on fallen london, which focuses on being weird but not taking itself too seriously.
It's also the kind of writing you either love or hate.

Just using the fixed orbital bombardment off steam.
I'm getting the feeling they hate that and robots both on principle.

I hate it. It goes against the rest of the writing who's very straightforward and matter-of-fact.

Is it possible to start in a location like the really thin area here, or should I stop restarting?

Like I said, love or hate. I won't deny that it's a bit out of place compared to other similar events in the game though.

what the FUCK is that

>That feel when your scientist gets that perfect anomaly-research traits combo

Is it bad that despite these things, all I can see is 'physics and society research planet'?

cute on the outside, disgusting on the inside

You have to research an anomaly.

>24 base society and 6 physics research on 4 labs

Pretty decent yeah

The negatives don't mean shit compared to that sexy research output.

is that a fallen empire planet?

Rename him Jontron

The trick to winning the early war is you stack defensive army on your worlds.

The AI doesnt know how to handle a large garrison.

I'd rather spend the minerals and upkeep on actual useful stuff like ships desu

Well the idea is to give you time when you're losing, if you can straight up win then of course spamming ships is better.

>hive mind
>no faction
>no happiness
>no multi species, no migration
>can't pick half of the ascension perks
>no diplomacy because everybody hates me
It's like playing a dumb down version of the game. I'm kinda diappointed.

There also doesn't seem to be a "next planet" key so you can quickly check your planets.

> le ebin global warming meme

I keep getting reminded just how much the term "paracucks" fits the company

Yeah, yeah, and coal is a pollution-free energy.
:^)

>the view is confined to the scientific fringe

Whoa, it's like it mght be a

Joke??? Perhaps???

Really activated my anus, user

How fucked am I concidering this is early game?

> man made global warming

Never said it doesn't cause pollution.

Not. You probably lost the scientist but he wont follow.

>no key to upgrade everything on the planet
>no key to build ships
>no key to build buildings
Etc.

Their UI is absolute trash in Stellaris.

Yeah, good goy dont pay attention to that freakish weather last five years, its all a conspiracy !

> "It is unlikely that any race intelligent enough to achieve full industrialization would be stupid enough to accidentally wipe themselves out"
> like I CANT believe we LIKE are causing LIKE LITERALLY GLOBAL WARMING

Can't wait for the global warming "enthusiasts" to go the same way as anti-vaccination and anti-GMO bunch did.

>americafat digging himself deeper
Still using imperial units and belieing that global warming is a lie?

Post current maps
also, any1 tried multiplayer yet?

>tfw you will never be this autistic

>Yeah, good goy dont pay attention to that freakish weather last five years, its all a conspiracy !

The Jews are manufacturing massive changes in climate despite already having full global control, for no apparent reason.

Again, never said global warming is a lie. I said MAN MADE global warming is a lie.

>there are people even more retarded then /pol/
How do you not forget to breathe?

>I have no evidence but I'm going to cluelessly deny the consensus theory just cos

...

Hu-uh.
Ofc :^)

remember, in the 2000 we will be freezing and there will be no petrol left

-t 1970 science.

Basically, humans do contribute some 200 or so ppm of CO2 but the earth was thriving at 2k. unless you are living in a island in the middle of the ocean, it won't change shit. Desert will get a bit hotter and my canadian ass will continue to freeze

Are space amoeba the muslims of the galaxy?

>don't stone women
>don't try to tell you how to live
>don't fuck goats
>aren't huge hypocrits
Not really. They're more like asocial hippies growing their own weeds.

Any here use the Alpha Mod? Is it worth sinking some time into?

>Arilou
>Spiritualist, Pacifist, Egalitarian
If only there was a trait like fanatic xenophile except for one single other species.

Do you have a working link? The sperg who makes the mod keeps deleting the workshop pages.
