not a spider

also, first for murdering the riftborn

What did the riftborn do to deserve that?

So you guys still play Stellaris? Is it actually good?

No.

No.

Is there anything more comfy than uplifting primitives? These are the second militarist civilization I will uplift into my xenophile militarist empire.

Yes, ridding the universe of xeno filth.

No.

It may be playable in 5 years, depending on how fleshy the expansions will be

Got Civ 5 in the Summer sale, dropped it hard when I found out units can't stack and the mods to fix that need all the DLC (which at the time was about £40).

Can get the DLCs for £25 now, is it worth getting those and the mods to stack units? How stable is modded Civ 5? Had bad experiences with modding in the past.

they know what they did

I'm a big fan of 4X games like Civ and Moo1/2. How does Galactic Civ 3 compare? Worth $30? Looks like the game had some issues early on, but subsequent updates may have improved on this. Should I pick up the Crusades expansion while I'm at it?

Other 4X game recs? I'd like to pick up Civ 6, but I'm waiting on the price to drop a smidge first.

Glorified checkers, zero immersion.

That's what you get for not playing 6.

>workers tower over cities
>immersion

Anyone? Galactic Civ 3?

Why is /civ4xg/ suddenly ded?

Can't afford it. :( Can you stack units in Civ 6? Even so, I've bought 5 and want my money's worth, but I'll have to spend more money and mod it for it to stand a chance at being playable.

I can interpret unit symbols as representing something realistic though. I can't think of any reason why that worker unit wouldn't be able to move past another worker unit when there is 10-20 square miles of land available. Are there millions of workers crammed into this piece of land? Supported by a city of 50,000? I can't imagine it, and the game stops being fun for me when it acts like a game of chess instead of a God-king simulator.

I fear stellaris is skipping the golden age of paradox titles and will be proceeding directly to the bloat phase.

Interpret wars in Civ V as the poor man's Endless Legend skirmishes, instead of zooming in you fight across entire continents at once to at least get a taste of tactics instead of absolutely everything being macro.

Anyone here play Oriental Empires?
