/civ4xg/ - Strategy/4X General

I thought sticking /civ4xg/ on it was a good idea so I had a closer look and while looking at the planet I noticed the background was off, then I noticed it has a low opacity spider.

Also I may or may not be using a pirated version of Stellaris.

I finally won a battle in Aurora 4x vs a non-spoiler. Here I am putting the Coup-de-Grace in the final FAC that attacked (Well followed) me.

You don't give a fuck about a 10% minmax on a single planer's resources when without sectors you wouldn't even have that planet at all.
That's the strength of sectors.

What's the point of that image without the before part?

That sure looks interesting.

Upload save, im always interested in other people campaings.
>tfw it's been ages since i had a proper game of Aurora

I have no idea, at first it seem to not mind but then i started fidling with it and bam - science ship goes in flames :(

Any mods that let you terraform after colonization?

who else hates seeing this system name pop up every single game

Dammit. I tried too hard to make a good OP. Next time, I'll post an OP without spiders, so that you look everywhere but can't find it. And then, in the OP after the next OP, I'll hide a spider again, you'll be like "can't find the spider, someone else must've made that one!" but it'll be here, looking at you. Judging you.

Showing what horrible things people can do. But yeah, should've put the before picture too, but without the context, it would still have been cryptic.
At least the OP is Stellaris-related. I originally wanted to post Seven Kingdoms 2 or Age of Empires.

>but it'll be here, looking at you. Judging you.
I'll be so sad and upset that I have a new updated thread to post in.

I'm starting to like the spider autist

Aurora 4x is fun

I might upload the save, as you well aware, the saves are huge. And I encountered a NPR in the 2nd system I jumped in.

Here is the class of my warship - designed for my early navy and to serve as the Anti-fighter/FAC escort in a 5k speed fleet.

He doesn't really do anything wrong unless you really hate unrelated OP images. I prefer him to regular shitposters.

Bump pls halp.

>rivaling both awakened empires while leading the non-aligned lack of league because fuck federations
>they're still too fucking pussy to strike first
The first one to awake even lost a fucking war against a huge alliance of literally every relevant not-me power

Oh, that reminds me.
Should I add the ship design guide to the Stellaris pastebin? The "WIP Ship Design Guide for 1.5.1 pastebin.com/2QWUPKSh" one, or should it stay its own pasta?

That sounds like a Honor Harrington fangame. Do you also have missile drones to shoot even more missiles per salva?

I'll bump my question from previous thread too.

What are some good class names for Human ships? General themes would do.

Jesus fucking christ ...
Ok fuck that, thios shit is personal now, i will come backl with fucking 2M worth of Heavy Dreadnoughts and we will see who will be fucking laughing then you starfish motherfucker !!

Aurora is not that big, 300mb tops and even less when zipped.

x3wiki.com/index.php/ATF#Science_and_Technology

Just open a History book and pick some king and queen names.
Well, not the name, but the nickname. Stuff like The Conqueror, The Red are pretty impressive.

just name them after porn categories on your favorite porn site

Check out US Navy, Royal Navy etc.

Generally :
Escorts - animals, weapons, mythical creatures, stuff like Tempest, Lightning etc.

capitals - famous people, battles
Biggest shit - hardcore shit like Leviathan, Titan, Imprevious.

What's the best ship to put flak on for covering my fleet? Destroyers or Cruisers?

Stop making the thread early you braindead weeb

INDUSTRIALIST + SLAVER GUILDS + MINING GUILDS STRONK

Cruisers

How high above the Core System cap do you go before the penalties really start hurting you?

I mean early to mid-game.

I often spend most of the early game 2-3 above the cap. It's that uncomfortable spot where you need to expand but don't have the resources to lay the blueprint down for the sector yet.

I never take the ascension for core worlds though, it's always a huge waste later on.

Whats your thoughts on the core world civic?

Where did I fuck up?

Just

You allowed an Early Space Age primitive civ to exist in your borders? Immediately invade them if it doesn't conflict with your ethos. If you haven't contacted any other civs, they won't get butthurt about it, and the stellar culture shock time is way lower than if you had invaded any other stage. You might even luck out and get species than can colonize planet types that aren't your main species'.

Shield Capacitors or Afterburners for corvettes?

birth apparently

What mod are you using to spawn inside an FE?

I'd say only bother if you have adaptive traits or have habitable worlds set excessively high.

Good job I always set my habitable worlds to be excessively high!

Corvette: Thunderbolt
Cruiser: Lightning
Battleship: Very Very Frightening

...

shield capacitors

Afterburners aren't worth it. Shield Capicators generally won't be on a corvette because they'll drive the price up and the ship probably won't last long enough once it starts taking hits for the regen to matter.

It's more important then of course. I always set it at .75.

It can happen naturally.

Homeworlds a ringworld segment though.

Afterburners. You should get rid of the shields period on them after cruisers become commonplace.
I'd even argue you should stop using them at all once you have a strong enough economy to support a destroyer fodder force. Torpedo corvettes are a meme.

What do you prefer /civ4xg/, increased habitable worlds or decreased and why

Get memed on

why no shields? not worth it costwise?

Late game shields start to add a fair bit to construction costs, depending on your viewpoint they may not be worth the cost

Are you stupid or what
these meme ship classes suck
just spam cruisers and corvettes with a few dreadnots shooting at the back

Drives up the cost and they're going to die almost immediately from anything with decent weapons regardless.
Early-game corv shields are practically game-breaking though.

>tfw radical ayylmao

Destroyers with 2 flak 2 empty weapons all shields with afterburners and best computers (sentient pref). Big hit chance, big tracking, big speed, big hp, allows cruisers to actually do their job, which is damage.

Corvettes will get one shot by anything anyway.
Might as well get them in range as fast as possible.

huh, I always try to go economic juggernaut with maximum minerals+energy, so I always trick out my ships.

But I have to wait between wars to rebuild, so maybe I should go cheap options

>/fitlit/

>cruisers and corvettes
>against faggot that one shots dreadnoughts

How do you make your bio in two paragraphs? Also, how long can your bio be?

It can only oneshot if it hits.

He is the Early Space Age primitive civ

He spawned inside a fallen empire

It's fallen empires expanded for extra homeworld types, pretty sure, but the spawn is random.

Actually if it's one shotting those you might as well mass corvettes against it. Even if it has insane tracking it can only fire so quickly.

I demand that Corvettes be replaced with Mustangs.

Are you kidding me ?
Do you have any idea how many corvettes you would need against faggot like that ?
Maybe if Paracucks unfuck their retarded spaceport system that would be possible but not when spaceport can produce single ship at once.

Replace corvettes with destroyers. Equip them with torpedoes. Make planets spawn corvettes and torpedo ships for self-defence.

>That sounds like a Honor Harrington fangame. Do you also have missile drones to shoot even more missiles per salva?
Not drones, but you can have fighters....

Such as my fighters who got blasted, so now I am using my Light cruiser with it better sensors and longbow missiles to weaken the enemy. Have two more light cruisers on the way to join up as I my designs do not have large magazines.

>ugly American muscle cars

Also, rate my science directorate.

I'm just saying give it a shot if the next fleet you throw at it gets fucked up.

Pretty good, Egalitarian conflicts with police state and the description doesn't really fit egalitarian.

You also misspelled arctic

>Not drones,
Well multistage missiles are piss easy to make in Aurora, you just have to have decent tech level.

>That sounds like a Honor Harrington fangame

Well its a game based on tabletop Starfire that had books written by David Weber, creator of Honor Harrington so you are not so much off in your assumptions.

I will rather wait for Super Star Destroyers to be available - i cringe when i imagine how much i would have to actually build to take him through corvette spam.

build like 200 corvettes and a lot of your meme ships

let the corvettes evade like mofos while your dreadnots shoot them down

Get 20+ starports pumping them out.. no that sounds really fucking annoying to do actually now that I think about it fuck corvettes

I kinda doubt evasion is going to work against it. It's a super boss, if it had such an easy counter it would be silly.

What's in the box?
It's pain, isn't it?

HA!
I knew it!

Does endless space and endless space 2 have the amount of built in narrative as EL?

1, sort of. Doesn't have the faction quests, but the design and narrative is there to some degree.

2, yes. It's all there, and more. It's really good on that front.

Well, the idea is that the UED have been gone to great lengths to put order, eradicate and suppress separatism and cultural/ethnic divisions, and bring humanity as one efficient whole.

t. oyota

Neato, I look forward to ES2 being fleshed out fully.

Yeah, im pretty sure that he will be super intimidated by the 200 corvettes after he finishes killing my heavy dreadnoughts.

I just researched Particle Lances and my main fleet is in the middle of an refit.
When they are done - its time for another round.
No cruisers, no destroyers - heavy dreadnoughts only.

>No Eva mod that adds Seeds of Life to the game.

Got vanilla Stellaris as a gift from a friend. It's alright but it feels lacking a bit. What would you guys say are some of the 'must-have' mods and junk?

Check the FAQ.

sounds authoritarian

I prefer mine tbqh

The methods, certainly are, hence police state.
