Eatings would fit his playstyle.....

The first thing i was thinking

@@kamo808 Or yeetings

Careful, there are 23 letters (in English anyway) that can still trip him up

Sounded more like he said Beatings to me

So pandora from avatar?

@@isaiahdebuck4097 that is pretty much how the tree is flavored

"A world who's plant life and hive fauna have become so intertwined as to the point where it is indistinguishable as to where one ends and the other begins, and all are connected to the tree of life"

Gives me Genesis Project vibes, if you ask me.

Ngl that would be sick

this is litteraly what appened when mussolini got elected

Hehe...Mussolini didn't get elected, he sorta just put himself in power.

This senate thing is just too complicated for my liking. I just go and stomp face, then make them my vassal. For every single nation in the galaxy.

Shattered ring is the tall option, god is it fucking disgusting awesome

Tall is useless now that you can built admin centres. No need trying to play tall, honestly. Looking forward to see how paradox will fix it

@@keomi6228 exactly, maybe to fix tall we could do a over administration bonus so you have so much spare admin cap you get bonuses instead?

Barbaric Despoilers are still trash.

@@sugoistalin7809 Yeah, so? It's fun. It gives you reasons to have conflicts and you get to leave the weakened enemy as a shield against stronger opponents past them.

@@LowbrowDeluxe Not really.

Yeah BD are shit but pretty fun indeed

Basically Russia

Yeb

Just saw on reddit there is an issue with Juggernauts where changing the template makes juggernauts disappear if you load the game back in or something. It's on the r/stellaris federations bugs/issues post

Had the same thought lol

It's a sign!

thats odd, he is not playing as a Chinese themed empire

@@truemind1018 well the Corona virus is in most countries at this point so its not unbelievable an alien caught it

Another interesting thing seems the reverse of the protectors, instead terravores void dwellers, you overdraft all the planets to make habitats. I don't know how feasible that is in the long run though.

@@dimitarlinov2393 Gestalts can't use the Voidborn origin, so unfortunately this isn't possible.

@@exsolutus1626 But.... why??? :( The Borg have complexes that are essentially huge machine world habitats. Another thing, why is it not possible to have a psionic hive mind? that in fact seems very possible or even required for it to be a hive mind in the first place. I get it a tiny bit about the machine upgrade, though... why can't a hive mind transfer its consciousness inside a gigantic computer powered by a star or a black hole. IMO the best bodies are organic/inorganic hybrids with psionic powers, basically psionic cyborgs.

@@dimitarlinov2393 They're not connected to the Shroud. Their network is an internal system only. If the Shroud is Internet, Hives are Intranet.

@@Bloodlyshiva Yes, but what's stopping them from trying to connect to the internet? The internet is made out of many interconnected intranets and the hivemind can be considered decently big, why can't it evolve into an entity in the shroud? Many minds connect together to open and enter the shroud in the normal empire, but the hivemind is already a fusion of all the minds (or at least can be, depends on the hivemind really), at least it has enough processing power to control Thrillions of people (assuming 30 pops is roughly 7 billion people, or maybe 1 pop is billion).

When is it coming out

Same 🤣

I've wanted to get it, but i don't know how well it would run And while i have watched grand strategy games like this, CK2, HOI4, etc, I don't know how well i would do with managing it all I'm decent at rts, so that helps, but idk... What do yall think? should i get it (For xbox 1 if it matters)

Did they ever announce a release window for it?

@@Birbucifer First half of this year

I believe for gestalt the choice is the equivalent or Worker versus Specialist instead of Consumer Goods versus Alloys

Carriers also completely obliterate any starbase because they stay out of their range. Point-defence platforms are actually needed now.

I'm aware of that - It does help in one way, which Is what I was testing out however! Engagement range Is also how far away from the enemy the ships will stay once engaged in combat, the carrier AI means they stay at that 150 range and let the enemy come towards them whilst being able to fire their X weapons at this range as they move and the battleships stay still, whereas the artillery mode will move them towards the enemy until they hit 80 range, this means they get in range of the enemies attacks faster too, and when stacking Battleships in order to try and destroy the enemy (Specifically the end game crisis fleets) before they even reach you this means they have more time to do this before the target gets to their range. Now It was clear that was not worth It, and the bonuses from artillery mode far outweigh this, but It did provide a bonus even with non strike craft due to the X size weapons 150 range. Again, clearly this wasn't worth it as too much of their damage came from their shorter range L weapons which did not benefit from the carrier mode much (They got some bonus range bringing them over 80 range from other sources, but not much.), but still was worth a bit of science! :)

You are aware, one of his scientists name is "Corrona"? :)

@@nickmrlongname6489 Now I am, thanks.

Truly the most beautiful and well thought out comment i have ever seen

BTW, Unity AND admin cap are the same job for Hiveminds...

@@principleshipcoleoid8095 what the hell does this reply have to do with this beautiful comment

@@Orrdinary-_-personn BTW, I like to play Stellaris

@@principleshipcoleoid8095 ok

This entire time I've been thinking of Avatar as tree of life

@@prateekkarn9277 Probably the parallel Paradox was going for, the Espheni thing I mentioned was more the forced inclusion into the Hivemind, unlike Avatar's which is totally by choice but forced on by the cultic Na'vi….probably should stop the xenophobia before people get mad at me.

It reminded me of the Trade Federation troop transport ships from Star Wars The Phantom Menace, the ones the droids deployed from.

Scion is pretty much just sandbox mode. The fallen empire gives you powerful ships. And if you happen to lose them in battle, they give you more. You really can't lose. I think a Scion playthrough would just be uninteresting.

Yeah I think you can get any of the fallen empire buildings through that, though It is somewhat rare! So far I've managed to get the food building a few times and the auto-forge alloy foundry twice. :)

For me the game would run smoothly except occasionally hang up on January 1.... late game

well they were broken af before
