A good use for the Heroic Past position is using it for your scientist that touched the orb. An immortal Storyteller watching over the Imperial State with a permanent level 10 bonus can be quite good.

@qw3rty629 Месяц назад

having a guy that effectively experienced the entirety of your empire's development is a good thing, who knew

@cstains5543 Месяц назад

@@qw3rty629 The point of that exact setup is that you deliberately leave a bunch of anomalies unfinished, especially if they happen to end up in other empire's territory. Storyteller destiny trait grants a +300 XP bonus to every other scientist in your empire. So if you also combine Heroic Past with Vaults of Knowledge and leave just 20 anomalies alone until you have the Storyteller trait on that immortal scientist every scientist in your empire will get 6000 XP which will get many of them to Legendary stage which when coupled with Vaults of Knowledge building will give you an additional permanent +1% per Legendary leader developed by your empire.

@OdinXivraj 2 месяца назад

Against AI there is a few really good uses for forming the Imperium. If your behind in score you can leverage it to absolutely catch up. It destroys all federations which drops the score of anyone in a federation. And with cleaver polices and denouncements you can basically have the whole galaxy go to war against anyone who is ahead of you in the score. Also helpful for keeping the AI on track for the crisis.

Divine Conduit DOES NOT give you base resources from psionic pops increase. If you read it carefully, what it gives you is "Resources from psionic pops from telepaths" that means it increases the bonus that telepaths give to psionic pops. Dont be confused and think its just boosting all your psionic pops innately. You MUST build a Psi Corps building and have pops work the Telepath jobs that it provides in order to benefit from Divine Conduit.

@ArthainDartiran 2 месяца назад

Why wouldn't you have a Psi Corps building though? Either stick it on the planet or on the Orbital Ring. It's probably one of the single best buildings you can build for a Psionic Empire. Unity, Crime Reduction, Stability, Psionic Pop Output increase... if you don't have it you're gimped. And ya, it takes Level 3 to build it, but if you're swimming in unity you can just have a mobile set of population that you switch from planet to planet. Once a planet has been upgraded, the buildings are available even if the number of pops on the planet drops below the threshold. I always go with Instrument of Desire, so the Psi Corp building also basically takes care of ALL my amenities needs as well. You've basically got like 3-4 different buildings all piled into a single one.

@letsplaysvonaja1714 2 месяца назад

isn't that even better? because all your pop get affected by at least two telepaths?

@Luvatar 2 месяца назад

I would move both High Curator and Minister of Ascension up to B tier. Unlike bonuses that affect only jobs, these are Empire-wide. Meaning it also affects the passive unity from stuff like Monuments (Which should be the bulk of your unity), factions, and even trade policies if you got them. Very versatile bonus.

@christopherg2347 2 месяца назад

Some thoughts: 5:19 Happiness still matters for: Crime, Government Ethics Attraction and Diplomatic Weight from Pops. And those are not modified by Political Power. So while not a _direct_ Economic bonus, less Enforcers and more Diplo Power can mater. It scales on the same curve as Labor Intendant. So useful for a opressive Empire. 5:42 I feel like Build speed needs a longterm bonus as companion. Building and District Upkeep reduciton might actually be way more useful and thematic here. But do note the very high value for Virtual Ascension!

@MaxIsMax681 2 месяца назад

One of my favourite runs thanks to Lathland is parliamentary system and maxing out unity through pops. Maybe the protector of liberty position could be used to maximise the egalitarian faction's unity output. Its fun since it works best pilling on pop growth to massively increase the amount of jobs and the unity provided. In most games, I don't even have to build any unity buildings! P.S Love the vids

@benoithudson7235 2 месяца назад

The curator is guaranteed to be a researcher, so the only leader that can take the council post is also a good leader to have on council. The shroud teacher is focused on governing a sector, so they don't normally have interesting council traits. I'd put that position in F tier. The senior science director I'd bump up a tier because it's useful early-game if you want to tech-rush, mostly just to have a scientist on council but also to help with the consumer goods upkeep cost.

Sort of a shame that there's really not much to say about them. Research speed, influence, pop assembly, and reduced deviancy are all good. The last are two particularly good for gestalts. It'd be neat if there were some way for empires to have different nodes aside from the 25% boosts to specific node experience that all of the civics give.
