What is a reccomended book reading list for all of stellaris content wise (I know alot of these updates are based on certain sci-fi authors names) If you were to create a *hero* type leader (like a mastercheif or John Shepard or even Captain Marvel) that could affect the overall fate of the galaxy, how would you do it? What is something about the game that brings you awe? Like something you look at, or read that either gives you inspiration or even sadness (but the happy sad kind of thing) If you moved from a different country to work on the game, what do you miss most about home / where you came from, also what do you like the most about moving to this new country you now work in? What do you think Aliens would think about Stellaris as a game? If you could cross over with one other game what would it be (and why is it EVE :) ) If you or your team had the option to go to space (like on some space elevator or commercial type of thing) how could you incorporate that experience into the game of stellaris? How does your team deal with stress outside of anything game related? What is your favorite kind of game to play to decompress when you get home? Say your chillin with your significant other, and you want to play stellaris but they aren't with it right now. So you suggest a movie that kinda kicks that stellaris itch but it also aligns with what your S/O, what movie is that? If you could make a stellaris based fighting game, that still resembles stellaris in regards to its overall core design how would you do it? If you as you are now, could be a leader what traits would you have / want to achieve for (like immortality or becoming truly virtual) I have more, but these are off the top of the dome honestly. I love these interviews, and I love the idea of showing the *human* being the dev.
Eladrin is the best thing to happen to the game IMO, he and Alfray have seriously added so many amazing things and really understand the playerbase. Not just them, the whole team is great, but those two have been amazing about interacting with the community 10/10
@@finaldusk1821 I think that the system is currently fine. Spending minerals to send number stacks at each other is fine in a game where war is won by navies. What is not fine is the general viability of setting up fortress worlds, system ownership system, the balance of traits and effects of generals and the UI for building of armies. If instead of just the name of the species the armybuilder would physically show you the traits + slavery type (and building bonus) of each of the armies, it would immediately be smoother.
@@Spartan117xxxxxx Agreed; the system definitely needs some retooling but Stellaris has enough moving parts to keep track of that another overcomplicated element would only make it that much less accessible.
@@finaldusk1821why not have a way to automate the system then? Maybe have a Hoi4 like mini game for every planet where your armies have to take control over every major city or kill off every army to win? Maybe you could automate this according to certain invasion doctrines like human wave tactics, blitzkrieg, pincer encirclements, etc. that the AI will try to replicate. However such a system would always reward those who take command over their armies, perhaps a certain strategically minded player could take on a numerically superior defensive garrison and still win. It could work similarly for defensive armies. The AI would control them according to a set defensive strategy, but the game will always reward those who make the effort to lead the charge.
It's fine. I want devs to spend time on other things. Like more Cosmogenesis type expansions! That was amazing good. Just 🤤. Give us more of that stuff!
I just can't wait until we get the ability to reorganize the fleet order in the outliner. I know about the hotkeys and stuff, but I need my juggernaut and colossus to be at the top, battleships below, etc. Then my OCD can finally be satisfied!
couple of last DLC & updates (3.8+) is freaking awesome necroids, toxoids, rocks, plants and robots got their own features that affects gameplay significantly It would be realy great to see something specific for birds, reptiloids and humanoids.
I have a few suggestion to you: 1) give us the ability of turning off all default empires and letting us use our own empires to replaced them; 2) an scenario/galaxy editor would be most welcome: I want to craft my own galaxy, using my own empires. That include editing their Origins: for example, why my Helion Republic could not be an Inperial Fiefdom of the Holy Serassian Empire (both empires being player made ones)? and finally 3) what about a texture/skin editor, so we can customize our ships more? I would love to see the Humanoid shipset using a skin similar to the one used in the Narn starships from the Babylon 5 TV show.
@@ecogreen123 Oh, really? You care to share with everyone here how to turn off the default empires? Because as far as I know, there is no such option in the menu. And no, I don't want to change any directory in my game or use any mod. I want to turn those empires off _in the menu!_
@@rosesareredbutzerglingssti9290 neither of those are necessary, now i maybe wrong as it has been a while but i think you are able to disable spawning for the a.i. empires and able to force spawn your custom created empires in the empire selection screen but thinking about it now that might not have been what you meant, my apologies. (edit: I'm not even sure that would work how you would want it too but either way all 3 of your suggestions are good.)
If you guys are going to do a pass on the galaxy creation screen, could you pls add a way to select your precursor? Same as you did with the crisis. It wouldn't have been the first time I spend an entire evening of free time restarting until I get the one I need, which for single player is just no fun. Also, could you make the starting ruler of the new cyborg origin guaranteed to be spiritualist? It again forces you to restart until you get it if you don't want all your factions to have low influence.
Amazing job on continuously improving the game! The majority of us like generative AI, or at least don't have a weird aversion to it, and it's very thematic for Stellaris to use AI so I hope you keep using it! Machine Age is awesome
Technically they answered both "no" and "maybe". They said the old portraits are not compatible with the new system that lets them easily modify them, they could put the work into reworking them to do so but it would be a lot of work and doing them all would be unrealistic. Given how the vast majority of stellaris players just play humans (pretty sure its over 80% i forgot the exact number) Spending all that time to update old portraits would come at the cost of new art for very little return for the vast majority of players. So yeah probably not, but maybe? especially if more players used portraits other than humans all the time.
No, the Galaxy Settings needs MORE options. Please don't reduce these options. What you can do, instead, is to have two setting types: Simple and Complex. Let those who know what they're doing have more options. Newcomers can have the option of a "Simple" Settings screen.
Please add a selector to allow us to choose the precursor we get in a game. The default setting should still be random, but it would also be really helpful to be able to choose a specific precursor for certain games or exclude one or more precursors from the random draw. For some empire builds or playthroughs, I have a specific precursor I want to get, such as the Zroni precursor on a psionic playthrough. For other empire builds or playthroughs, I might not have a strong preference for what precursor I get but there are one or two precursors I absolutely don't want to get, such as the Zroni for any non-psionic game. I play on Iron Man mode, so having to start a game, play for a while to find out what precursor I got, and restarting until I get one I'm happy with, is a PIA. A precursor selector in the galaxy settings to choose at game start would probably be the easiest to implement, but I wonder if some sort of precursor preferences could be included in the empire build stage.
So disappointed. I just saw this on sale in Steam, added it to my cart, went to pay, and it was not on sale anymore. Hopefully it'll happen again, this looks really interesting, I'm sure I could play this for years with all of the DLC offered!
things that stop be dead in my playthroughs (beit ive played since beta days) 1a) simulation > events (there are tons of events now, but its all the same gameloop. 1) spam messages and pop ups, 2) same exact strategy map gameloops, turtle or dogpile wars or nothing 3) federations allies, and rivals (friendly claims would be nice) 4) wars, (dogpiling or doomstacks, maybe less spammy fleets, its mostly about ally behavior) 5) lack of meaningful trade and diplomacy ((sometimes war goals can be interesting and thats it no real trade needs because most races build up a ton of internal trade, and research +1 easily makes trade with other races meaningless. 6) lack of things todo in galactic map, personally I want less things in research and more things on the map, as an asset, like shipyards, diplomacy/research stations etc, 7) +1 menu's 8) +1 research ((again link it to assets on the map to destroy or capture etc 9) border gore... getting better especially with some events i guess but i dislike borders, i kind of want it like civ 5 p.s. i havent played the latest dlc but i will and i dont think i'll like it
