Isn't ES2 faction customization Stellaris-tier anyway, except you don't get to choose starting weapons?

Why do the other two Utopia trailer species have no preset empire? I only recognized the Commonwealth and I think the Scyldari?

So it's like turn 90 now in my current Unfallen game and I decided to play a 6 spiral because muh free content. Early on Riftborn boxed me into my arm and have expanded like wildfire. They currently have the highest score and keep osculating between friendly and sneaky. I'm trying to be peaceful scottish trees but I'm basically stuck on 6 systems until I get the influence buyout tech. I'm not sure about their true military power, but they own a lot of territory and are at war with the Cravers. So I'm guessing they're extended across the galactic center, and my strategic resource equipped ships seem stronger than their military fleets I've seen wandering around my borders. Also they own all the Dust Halo systems anywhere near me and I need to unlock the Endless Day stuff.
So should I declare war or wait for the peaceful influence buyout tech. What should it be, Heart or Fire?
Mason Gonzalez
I am talking about the current year.

>turn 90 >hasn't bullied Riftborn yet Prepare your anus
Oliver Ross
well we don't need niggers anymore, so I don't get your point
Christopher Gray
Unfallen were supposed to be comfy damn it, I thought genocide wasn't the answer. It's not supposed to end in fire.
Parker Barnes
But why do you keep them? In fact the cutting edge political issue today if US should import more or less niggers.
Luke Russell
Bullying riftborn before they fester is key to achieving a healthy galactic society.
Parker Powell
Thoughts on the new stellaris DLC (scam)?
Camden Williams
Is there any endless day stuff for Legend or is it all in space?
Nicholas Ramirez
It's shit and Stellaris will always be shit because Paradox are trying to cater to stupid fuckers like you who can't manage systems more complex than tying a shoelace t. /gsg/
Matthew Fisher
there is endless day stuff for all of their games, including dote
muh esports is slowly becoming a meme here, so we know.
Brandon Clark
Any Sim City 4 players in here?
What are the must have mods for that gam
Michael Rodriguez

Hunter Perry
They even have ownership of the constellation we share. It gives +15% industry. I guess there is no choice but Fire.

Vlad Tepes dracula? That's not it, the view was top down but like in a infinity engine rpg. Not literally 2d top down
Leo Diaz
I keet them on a single system and constantly at war so I can bully them. They're actually allied to a Lumeris on the other side of the galaxy, both are fully under my pressure so I get free Lumeris systems that I immediately vacate in exchange for temporary Truce. Already won the game, I'm just having fun.
Jayden Stewart
No bully Trees are evil
Luis Miller
I hope they're ok
Noah Cruz
Genocide dude!
Isaac Collins
lmaooooo one good thing that came from PA were planet destruction devices
Christian Fisher
>dude genocide lmao my autism prevents me from ever using planet crackers in a single player game
Levi Smith
I'm not entirely sure they're useful to be honest, they cost so much industry to make and then have a cooldown once they enter a system before they can be used. They seem like a thing you use for fun.
Adrian Wright
A race of primitive spacefarers has evolved near human space and somehow got added to human controlled space. Should I just purg the filthy xeno?
Sebastian Baker
I've seen some unfallen systems that would be easier to take out with planet crackers than waiting 15 turns to siege down
Nicholas Hill
so you pretty much always open archer in civ6?
Angel Thomas
Use more ships with siege modules.
Isaac Lewis
we deity now
Dominic Cook
Vaulters when?
Matthew James
Thursday.
Sebastian Russell
I'm still mad you can't purge or enslave individual pops anymore. I miss being able to massacre anyone who deviated ideologically, but accept all xenos who embrace the truth.
Why does paradox hate collectivists?
Camden Richardson
Why not now
Michael Brown
Paradox doesn't hate collectivists, they hate fun
Cameron Jenkins
If you're having fun with the game already, you won't be desperate to buy the next DLC, which promises to make the game actually fun.
Evan Martin
That reminds me, I need to open up 1.3 again and enjoy the sweet taste of slaves with 100% happiness
Dylan Fisher
not quite against really goddamn tough empires - like unfallen, gnashast-stacked planets, and the soon to be added vaulters - it's actually faster and easier to destroy planets than to take them
Julian Cooper
but is it moral?
Logan Taylor
lolno except for gnashast, because the only people who stack them reliably are lumeris
Easton Barnes
>play Riftborn >Take over constellation >"Grats, enjoy your +15% food production" T-thanks game
Jack Stewart
>tfw finding gnaghast as horatio
Nolan Watson
Good to hear, I've only made planet killers once on a Vodyani playthrough for the quest. I was already running away with the game by then, so it seemed steep for what you get, but I'm glad they have a niche.
Christian Watson
Yes, the Samhain hero quest.
Brody Scott
Stand in the space-dust of a trillion souls and ask the ghosts if morality matters.
Connor Ramirez

Hey guys, I just bought Stellaris and all its DLC on Steam. Due to a disability I can only use two fingers on one of my hands and I have problems remembering things that happened more than 5 minutes ago. Are there any mods I should get to help handle a game this big? Any general tips or advice?
Bentley Peterson
>Due to a disability I can only use two fingers on one of my hands and I have problems remembering things that happened more than 5 minutes ago. You bought the perfect game.
Connor Wright
That's how all Vaulter systems will look like.
Angel Jones
It's the uninstall and refund mod
Andrew Nguyen
Unfallen are all about bringing life to and healing the galaxy. Riftborn cant be considered “life” in the same way due to their nature, while they also seek to sterilize the universe. Lorewise you should have conflicting ideas and shouldnt feel bad about exterminating that plague.

I have no idea what the fuck I am doing, but this game is alright
James Ross
just kill everything with a different biology to your own and build a throne of their corpses
Haven't play stellaris in a while, is Paradox still pretending Xenophile and Egalitarian are two completly different ethics or did they try to make them different?
Matthew Williams
>ditching FREE influence from all of your population just to handle ground combat a bit easier I mean come on now.
Gabriel Williams
Manpower isn't just for ground battles.
Julian Garcia
Yeah, but I'm pretty sure the Sheredyn pops simply deal dmg in ground combat. Unless I'm misremembering it
Charles Turner
What joi model is this?
>legacy captcha no longer supported what the absolute fuck hiro
Camden Brooks

Where do you get plasma weapons and energy torpedoes?

Research lasers.

once you get an alliance with someone and that tech, you can both sign up for it and get a bunch of bonuses
Lincoln Green
google still officially support it. All the shenanigans on Veeky Forums yesterday were about removing legacy captcha
Hudson Cruz
Pillars of Eternity vs Tyranny, which one is better?
Despite it being a 4X general both are published by Paradox so i figured you guys were the best bet to ask. They look 90% the same but i'm sure there are pros/cons for each. Is one definitively better than the other?
Owen Howard
>legacy captcha
Oh God, why? The image ones always take like 5 tries for me.
Gavin Barnes
>make site unuseable >buy my pass goys >???? >PROFIT
Anthony Peterson
/gsg/ is the paradox general, bub. Either way, PoE has its share of issues, but Tyranny is just a complete shitshow that doesn't deserve anyone's time.
Julian Wright
A thing which costs 150 of you influence per turn that you can offer alliance members that is different depending on the faction, for example a co-op with riftborn gives a FIDS bonus of 0.5% across all systems, but the longer the co-op is in play the better the bonus, and with the riftborn this can scale to 5% FIDS. Off the top of my head Horatio has a 20% Food bonus and sophons have 15% science bonus. I think you can have 4 at once. The AI will offer ridiculously for this protocols during trades, I can scam 2-3 techs out of them usually.
Nolan Evans
Could you explain why? The only games I played like them were Fallout 1/2. They both went on decent sales so its a conflicted purchase decision.
Justin Russell
PoE, by far. It's also a much better game now that it was at release, and with the DLC it's even better.
Brody Martinez
definitely PoE, Tyranny was interesting but a slog at times and even though there are many very obviously different choices to make on a second playthrough I just didn't care. PoE was much more interesting all throughout.
Alexander Adams
