Looking for a Stellaris mod that only replaces humans for Commonwealth of Man. I'd like male rulers and only europeans for the Commonwealth, but let pozzed out United Nations be multicultural and female leaders or whatever.
The only mods I've seen either remove non-whites or women entirely.

What's the right way to make a Tall Empire that enslaves/ vassalizes its inferiors? When I tried last, I couldn't get out ahead of my neighbors fast enough.
Luke Lewis
Tall or wide?

What is the fastest way to win against bots in es1? Go full genocide? Wanted to be able to buy their systems, can see the option but they won't let me.

I rage quit Stellaris last night. I really don't know how they managed to fuck the game up so badly in the last update. Is ES2 fun? I have endless legend so is it anything like that? I wanna play something different until paradox fixes their game
It's fun, and very easy on the eyes and ears. You actually feel invested in the factions because there are elements that distinguish them not only visually but mechanically from each other, unlike Stellaris where the only true difference is how many times you have elections, if at all.

>Is ES2 fun? have you looked in the thread? nobody actually plays the game they just meme about it
Angel Johnson
Alright so it is pretty similar to endless legend, thx. All the best games get dedicated shitposters, so it must be good.

War exhaustion was already changed in the beta patch dude.
Jace Ross
Still felt broken when I played. Did that patch just drop yesterday or something?
Luke Gutierrez
yes

They still don't move their fucking fleets as their empires are taken over by something much fucking weaker than them

Stellaris Steamcharts player count is now below 2.0 release. Dead game.

Dead genre

>this is the creative director for endless space 2 picked up
Yeah, but this is the first time it's kicked in 124 years after the start of the game - usually it kicks in within 10-20 if you've been exploring a lot
Machine Empire if you like going wide and microing

Authoritarian ethos in stellaris has more mineral output from slaves which makes sense since autocracies can usually force their manpower to harvest resources, but in authoritarian regimes theres usually a lot less private initiative, mostly due to an elite who prevents competition from arising. Since minerals represent general resources and energy money, why doesnt the egalitarian ethos have energy production bonus?
