Just listening to you talking about them is leaving a foul taste in my mouth. Can't get more immersive than that!

New Adversaries. Purge them.

The smell.

Terraforming planets into tomb worlds

i dont know if i can terraform toxic planet yes i will buy it, else i would not waste 20$ on just another specie pack

Link mod

@@soffren not a mod. But a warhammer 40k reference. Lol

@@ethansharp4421 I know! I was just hoping someone would link a Stellaris Mod that let's you roll play as Orks with color bonuses 😂

@@soffren I know right?!

When I saw purple I knew right there that it was a Warhammer 40k reference

I agree. Paradox are damned if they do and damned if they don't with this type of DLC. It is great to have stand alone content but on the other hand interweaving complexity that allows huge bonuses is also good to have for the player to exploit. 329 hours played and still learning so many new things everyday. With added interlocking complexities I will never know it all and that makes me happy.

If a DLC basically read "Must own _____ to enjoy" I'd hate it, but if each DLC has ONLY have content for itself and the base game, you very quickly end up with some parasitic design that just isn't engaging. Seeing how Toxoids meshes with Megacorp, or how some of the new traits interact with Tomb World inhabitants, etc is really cool. One of the coolest things about the Aquatic DLC was the Colossus that flash floods a planet to instantly terraform it. Colossi are themselves DLC content. There's a balancing act, to be sure, but I know I buy Stellaris DLC for the way things interact and the new options they open up. The BIG expansions, the ones actually labeled EXPANSIONS, like Nemesis and the like, those I buy for whatever their big, signature feature is. If one of those was super reliant on another big, expensive pack to get your money's worth out of, I'd be kinda pissed, and unlikely to buy EITHER, but if they totally ignored the various species packs I've purchased, I'd feel pretty bad about the purchase to. I think the correct balance depends on what kind of DLC we're looking at. Something like a traditional Expansion, that should be almost 90% either stuff within the DLC itself OR in the base game. Though the BIG mechanics do tend to get released, in lesser versions, for everyone as the game progresses (If yo ucan call base game only Espionage actual espionage). Story Packs (remember those) should be almost entirely self contained, nobody should be missing out on anything major for not having it, nor should there be big parts of that basically don't exist unless you own all previously released content. Species Packs, I feel like the balance is closer to 60-70% parasitic content. If the DLC ONLY matters if you're playing the exact species type unlocked by that DLC, then you're not actually getting the content in the majority of your games where those species do not appear. You want toys that are accessible even when not playing as (species type). This is why I'm so pleased that Paradox stopped locking traits and origins behind portraits. And, where appropriate, there should be some cross pollination. If the design space has a real cool, thematic interaction with [dlc feature], go for it. Don't give us LESS content just because only those who habitually buy EVERYTHING get, well, EVERYTHING.

I don't like the fact they show it in game

@@artydean9892 Yeah - I still sometimes think about that one NPC in Dragon Age who stood around in camp with a yellow ! over his head to tell you to buy the DLC. Obnoxious. The launcher is *passable* to advertise DLC but never in the game!

@@TheHopperUK yes I was dumb enough to by that dragon age dlc too 😂 but the biggest issue I have with stellaris is that some of the balance only works with some of the dlc for example no having federations and advisors kind of sucks.

Kinda the purpose of the custodian team

@@andoli1646 Yup and they only just started.

That's why Paradox should make all DLCs free except the last three (or last five), to limit the almost infinite combinations of DLCs a player might have. EU4 is already unplayable with an incomplete set of DLCs - and buying them all is incredibly expensive.

@@csabagalffy4290 Their goal is to make you buy all the DLCs so unfortunately they will never be free, they will or should do what CK2 did and make the base game free

well guess "knights of a toxic god" orgin comes near to the deathguard lol.

Skaven rule! Spread the Blight!

Let root rot and bower blight to feed the pestilence of abandoned hope

Especially with the genetic modifications that one bit seems to push. Very astartes feeling.

I mean the mechanicus isn’t in my opinion that far away at least with their forge worlds

Seems toxic 😂

Jea me to from console still can belive this Game ist on console

My first thought exactly 😂

I made a bot emprie named Twitter. Sadly only the Toxic look worked for that.

Basically

THE MIGHTY SEER

All hail the toxic god!

Exactly I think we need to move to pc especially sense the dlc says that the rest of the dlc coming late 2024 I’m not waiting that long fr

How the frig would a city on a gas giant even work??

@@antred11 floating city type thing, its been done before in other media but i still think its cool

Exactly

I haven't bought the Plantoids and Lithoids, bacause nothing I want from them. Samething here.

@@fireblade295 Good for you

@@michalijmamtogdziesiowski9334 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n76Src6l3Zevlok.html

Lithods synergize very well with the new toxoid traits thanks to their increased habitability.

Ocean terraforming is just a tech along with every basic world type. You might just be referring to the aquatics Colossus or the Gaia world seeders for Gaia world's.

Ye, two weeks ago

Sorry for a year later reply but if you haven't yet and enjoy role playing. Play the Toxig God's and it is by far one of if not the best RP game you can have. You can also have a RIDICULOUSLY overpowered gain of either research or unity.

Ye they will sooner or later

If/when they ever do, they need be careful, we got years of content out of this one, and shelled out about $100 at the least in those years, that alone it is setting a high bar.

@@zekeiyf2003 agreed

why do you need a stellaris2? it's a nearly perfect game and if the devs know waht to do, to keep it alive and fresh, then i don't need Stellaris2. there are so many ways to play this game, it's insane and i like how they improfe the game and exited for the upcoming updates and dlc's.

@@hoellenhund1234 It's lets them completely overhaul the core systems and integrate all the improvements from the DLC into the design. They're already pretty good at doing that with stellaris, but they're still restricted by previous design and technical decisions.
