Nothing, they're just not as comfy as Sowers.

Sowers minors being able to fix depleted planets is pretty neat.

That sounds so broken if you're a craver and get a bunch of them in your empire. Also completely useless to anyone who isn't a craver.

Could be useful to someone who conquered a craver and is stuck with a bunch of dead planets/craver pops

>what makes Stellaris enjoyable?
Uninstalling.

>if you harass people or be toxic you will be banned for harrassment or toxicity

Yes, that is how society works outside of Veeky Forums.

Great one, user. Never stop telling jokes.

>Telling a company to hire someone competent is toxic or harassing
No, that's capitalism. Though perhaps the Swedish do find capitalism toxic.

>banning people for being mean

>politely pointing out the game would be better if the developer team had a better AI programmer is harassment or toxicity

>telling a company none of their workers are competent isn't harassing or toxic

Welcome to the real world, kiddo

I think you're being mean, and harassing us. You're banned from this general for 3 days.

t. Wiz

No, I'm not saying that none of their workers are competent. I'm saying that they should hire 1 really good AI programmer because the AI in their games in universally awful. Plenty of other employees are perfectly competent.

What is happening here?

I've already got both.

Playing civ5 domination, who should i play as and name 9 other civs.

What's the 2.0 ship meta? Is it autocannons and proton launchers?

Obviously corvettes are best, but how many of the other ships should you bring?

Yeah.

Fuck off with your strawman. I never said they needed to hire a world expert on AI programming. They just need someone who can actually do the fucking job.

We promise user, if you use steam guard, Half Life 3 will come out.

At some point they'll start demanding iris scan and fingerprints too.

Why would I want my people to be unhappy?

robots aren't people

Oh, I already use steam guard. Now they want my address, postal code and stuff like that.

ENDLESS SPACE 2 ON SALE
SHOULD I BUY IT?

Yes.

I don't want to kill them off, that's the entire point.
If I did want to kill them off I'd have invaded them straight away (and put up with the diplo penalty you'd get for it)

I'm trying to elevate late medieval humans into my empire, not elaborately steal Sol III as if there's anything special about it.

Do I have to build a citadel and battleship and use a zero point power to have a chance at mega engineering showing up in the tech cards? or just have the techs researched?

What expansions are must have?

DO IT

None, there's only one expansion out right now and it's more of a DLC, adding Vaulters, pirate diplomacy and a few ship modules, everything else comes with the game.

None are "must" have, but all the FLC and the two new cheap DLC are really good to have. I love the Vaulters expansion because I loved them in ES1 and EL, but you don't really need them or the little ship modules they bring until you do a few playthroughs of the other factions.

Just the techs.

Vaulters if you want to play with them. It is like $11. Also, the new DLCs looks nice and are like $5 total between the two.
There is also a free content that you can unlock by creating an account on www.games2gether.com and linking it to Steam.

kk, cheers

ES2 only has one major gameplay expansion and it's vaulters, which mainly adds another playable faction. I wouldn't call it 'must have' unless you like the base game and want to play as them. The content besides their addition is somewhat lacking.
2 new DLCs were released today simultaneously but both are very small. One just adds music and barely anything else. Another adds quests for each minor faction and a few new ones. Again, not 'must have', get them if you like the base game (in the case of music, if you like the songs).

>expansion
>DLC
Same fucking thing you nignog

'Expansion' implies more content than 'DLC', you nognig.

AI work is extremely difficult, so Paradox really can't improve anything without hiring an extremely capable expert.

Add to that the fact that Paradox games are played by retards whose attraction to these games is their ability to outsmart the AI and you have an intractable problem that would cost an impractical amount of money to address.

The deed is done.

Thanks for the help. I wasn't expecting that many replies.

Any code monkey can do the graphics and gameplay for a videogame, especially when the Clausewitz Engine is already in place. AI work is more complicated than just having some coder type at it for 8 hours a day.

My goal is to shill so many copies that I earn enough points to completely swing the next vote.

That track makes my dick unstable.

Can I not make any vassalization war demands in Stellaris once I've built a colossus? I just tried to demand tribute from someone but the only war demand I can do in return is total war (colossus). What.

I don't buy it. Plenty of other games have reasonable AI.

No it doesn't, nignig.

Does the amount of points you have passively add to the vote or do you have to spend them somehow?

>pajeets stating at graphs want more money
Also he meant game AI, not "AI".

How bad is the new stellaris dlc? Not sure I want to pay 20 euros given how useless the stuff in the past has been.

Very.
Also just pirate it.

The game is dumpster fire right now.

Can you still "Demand Vassalisation"? If you can, and they refuse, you'll probably still get the CB

The "game" was always dumpster fire.

Just read the dev diaries and see if you like the expansion features. In general it isn't bad but not particularly inspired either. The biggest changes are in the free patch.

literal mod content

I am just past 2300 in my Stellaris SP game, I want to trigger the Great Khan.

Every time I open console, type 'play 50' (the command to become one of the marauders, then type 'marauder.500' which should, according to the wiki, and everything I've read off Google, trigger the event, but all I get is 'unknown command'.

I own Apocalypse and have had the Khan spawn normally in other SP games.

What the fuck is going on?

That's because other games just have enemies run towards you and shoot. Strategy games are a lot harder to do AI for. Just look at chess - people have made specialized computers just for the problem of playing chess as well as a human being. There are countless research papers about this. Nobody is going to put that much work into a Paradox blobbing game.

are u ok retard

b-but my latest patches

I can, my only wargoal still is just total war. I do get a message saying I lost my subjugation CB once I started the war though. Oh well, I guess if it's genocide they want, it's genocide they'll get.

IT adds content that mods did in 1.9 , in any case DLC can be pirated even if you own the game in steam and nothing bad happens
