EPTIt also seems like systems are generally more valuable than before, partially because the new anomaly system makes that more likely and partially because binary/trinary/special systems tend to have more resources.

Biggest thing that i have to say is that they need to test their shit, 2.0 would have gone down a lot better if it was more functional. I'd consider most changes since 2.0 including large chunks of 2.1 to be polish that it shouldn't have launched without. It was rushed out the door without any kind of opt-in testing, just beta patch for everyone and it wasn't the first time though it was one of the more catastrophic. | ||

Yes. For a long time (before 2.0) i have been saying that maps are the key to making Stellaris great. I am glad they are moving in this direction but there is still a lot of things to do. Besides different types of Galaxies (even fantasy shapes) i would love to more ability to shape galaxy, add or substract features and i would like to see fixed maps, with set hyperlane system actually created in a way designed to foster gameplay. I would mod it myself if i had the time... | ||

Yeah, 2.0 and the subsequent patches were train wrecks. Without those game-breaking issues (and maybe without Subjugation being a million times harder than straight genocide), it probably would have been better received. | ||

I sort of like that genocide is the easy option. In a game about space races getting along or not, I enjoy that gross use of violence is the easy button. "Getting along" through cultural or more subversive means is fun if it is harder. | ||

There's really a lot they could do, tech-wise especially I feel like most weapons / defensive systems are still very bland and boring, but alas, they seem to think that having 'equal' balance between all weapon systems & tiers is more important, which is meh. I guess there are plenty of mods in the workshop that might suit your needs tbh, being imabalanced things or simply more content. The vanilla fleet builder in itself is kinda one dimensional and you always build roughly the same things every game so.. But hey, they're working on their issues one baby step at the time, can't complain too much | ||

Edit: is a Gaia World start even doable for Spiritualists? You can't really colonize with Droids without breaking your influence gain and your research will be really bad. This in turn means your energy income will be low, and it all spirals downward from there. | ||

i'm thinking of getting this game, but before i play - is there a series on youtube of someone who plays that's worth watching? I'm interested in being able to learn about the mechanics and just what the game is like to play from a strategy point of view (Rather than someone just going crazy) lmk if there are any let's plays that fit that kind of criterion  | ||

When I was learning Eu4 i just played until i hit a point where I couldnt do anything and then asked on the forums here for help(that point being battles past tech 13) | ||
