/civ4xg/ Endless, Stellaris, Civilization, and 4X

The game is fundamentally broken. Mods can polish a turd but won't stop it being a turd.

Alright, so what mods are best for improving/polishing it?

>Civ 6 Georgia video
Is the leader a dwarf? Her proportions look all fucked up, even more so than every other disney pixar inspired leader.

I find this funny. Time to start activating edicts everywhere

They are really decent, it isn't long before you double your growth. You're better off not increasing your stockpile ever for that reason.

Oh shit. The Neborite Heralds of Death have declared a pogrom against our brothers and sisters and our homeworld. Earth has her xeno allies and my fleet isn't up to snuff against the Heralds of Death, but I don't know if she can withstand the nefarious Nebonites unless humanity stands together.

Find a website which lets you manually download Stellaris mods and look through the most popular section. It’s that easy.

Does anyone else experience a significant leap in difficulty from Immortal to Deity in Civ 5 or did I just become stupid? It didn't take me too many attempts to beat Prince through Immortal (I moved up one each time I won and went for different victories each time) but on Deity I can't get past the medieval era without something fucking up. And I hadn't been relying on it up until now or anything, but I'm finding it impossible to do a wide empire at all because the AIs just expand too fast and I'm left without any room. All my game settings are default except I disable time victory and have been using low sea level lately, though I actually don't notice much of a difference.

Miscreant

any word on when the next stellaris update/DLC is coming out?
I haven't been in this general or even played the game in like 3 months because I didn't want to burn myself out of the game by the time all the cool looking shit came around

Check the dev diaries for the new update though, it changes a lot.

wat

Is this Aurora?

Yup.

See I plan on sticking a couple (dozen) of 'em into PDC hangars & unleashing the whole swarm at once (in case shit happens in Sol)

Specialized ships are better.
Fighters can be produced by fighter factories.
You could split the ship into two FACs and save some tonnage on the bridge, merge the engines into a bigger one so it's more fuel efficient and save some space from needing less fuel.

Is Nu Moo any good? I've been eyeing it but I find it hard to believe it will stack up.

Building your fleets and teching properly are a huge part of the game. Also, well defended planets are very hard to crack without overwhelming force.

While MoO2 isn't bad, you'd have been better off playing MoO1 instead. Perhaps the nice java remake "Remnants of the Precursors"? It adds a lot of nice UI functionality; like scrollwheel to control sliders, better galaxy map, much bigger galaxies, etc.

Yeah. You can grow pops very quick so try not to upgrade your storage capacity. It's possible it could be nerfed in 2.0 though.

I lava you, lava corpse man !

What event is this? I have never had it.

What do hey mean by finding no foot wear? They lost in the Stellaris the floor is lava game ?

It's a dorf fort reference, I think it's from a mod.

Boatmurdered, son.
A famous Dwarf Fortress succession game who ended up poorly. The dwarves survived goblins, undead elephants, and finally lost to ashes and a master brawler who killed everyone. While being on fire.

5 minutes till new dev diary drops, get pumped bois

just wake up, how long till dev diary?

nvm

they said there's an announcement today, I suspect they're going to shill their DLC to go with Stellaris 2.0

> planet destroyers

>apocalypse

Death Star battering rams when

STELLARIS: APOCALYPSE

The Time To Redefine Warfare is Now!

Space Marauders, Planetary Destruction Weapons and so much more. A world ending expansion! Available to pre-order now.

Apocalypse will bring new levels of warfare and destruction to the galactic exploration and discovery game and will add many new ways to extend one’s galactic dominion – including the ability to destroy entire enemy planets.

Apocalypse will bring new military options, civic paths, and challenges to Stellaris when it arrives in early 2018.

>That’s No Moon, neither is That One, That One Might be a Moon, Wait, No: Keep the local systems in line with fear of the new “Colossus” planet-killer weapon – a technological terror that eliminates entire worlds from the universe.

>All Your Base Are Belong to You: New enormous “Titan” capital ships can lead your fleets to conquest, offering tremendous bonuses to the vessels under their command. Meanwhile, fortify key systems with massive orbital installations and secure your homeworld as an impenetrable bastion among the stars.

>Pirates of the Constellation: Watch out for Marauders – space nomads who raid settled empires and carve out their lives on the fringe of civilization. Hire them as mercenaries in your own conflicts, but take care that they don’t unify and trigger a new late-game crisis!

>Some Non-Violent Features: New Ascension Perks and Civics are added in the expansion, along with new Unity Ambitions that provide new ways to spend Unity and customize your development

t-thanks Paradox
how so? Haven't played Stellaris with mods

>World Cracker: Shatters a planet, leaving behind a broken debris field that can be mined for resources. Available to non-Pacifists.

Literally making a mod based on Dead Space a paid DLC.

Glad I was right when I told that nigger in the last thread that titans would be paid content.

just install nsc and isb with their patch and you got a free apocalypse

correction, you get a better result, and today
I wish I could just get the carriers and defence platform from nsc without the rest tho

What.
Don't tell me this is some Vaulter shit.

>OPBOT
>vaulter theme plays at the end
Nah dude it's completely unrelated to vaulters.

>one of the worst factions of EL is STILL getting sucked off
Amplitude no

New player here. Does having a massive surplus of food on one world that's maxed out population help with the growth of other newly colonised worlds? Also what happens when your worlds have maxed pops and you can't colonize anymore?

Yes. Food is Empire wide.
Nothing. It just piles up to your food cap.

Oh boy, I sure can't wait to pay for things that should have been in the base game! It isn't like mods haven't added those features fucking ages ago. If we wait another 5 years and add another $150 of DLC we might be able to get where the base game should have been!

The dev dairy looks meh. They've spent all this time to rebalance warfare only to introduce another ship type with weapons that will break any form of balance. Plus we still don't have dedicated screening ships.

>screening ships.
You mean carriers?

When I read "You can only have 1 planet destroyer at a time" I got mad. Just... WHY?! So sick of these stupid arbitrary rules.

You can have more than 1 at a time... for 20 more bucks.

>ever believing that vaulters, the protagonists of the franchise that have actually been in every single title they made, wouldn't be in ES2
you are a fool

>the protagonists of the franchise

Paradox has it's faults, but they've never been pay to win.

so retards dont spam them ?
So this Super ship dont losses its uniqueness

Cap: original Star Wars trilogy
No cap: nu wars

No, pdx is pay to play.

>pay

he doesnt know

Spam them in what, multiplayer? How would that be boring? If single player, who gives a shit?

Is there something like an automate surveying button in aurora?

Special orders/organizations in the F12 Task Group window.
There you can give ships default primary and secondary orders. I set three gravitational survey as primary, five bodies survey as secondary. When they enter a new system, I manually order my exploration ships to check out a few gas giants and planets that could be colonizable, too.

>Those Titants are HUGE!-Wiz

That's cute. pic related an actual ship in the Star Trek mod.

Thanks for the help
DO I have to design civilian ships for my commercial shipping or do my civs design them themselves?

That planet crack was BEAUTIFUL.
Holy shit balls. I want to see what the other planet destroyers are like.
