It's treason then.

@@charlesmaddison212 It's treason then e.e

The Dolomite Cartel will rise! Buy our gassy farts its a deal you Can't refuse.

Hope an Espionage & Leaders one is coming afterewards. The current Leaders are bland and espionage would add a really cool element to play around with.

@@MrMatek13 I feel like espionage could be added as a feature for updates rather than as separate DLC's.

@@Ruosteinenknight What are these "free content updates" you speak of? This is Paradox, kiddo. We're going to take your money if you want the next crumb of content.

Correction: Federations: *THE SENATE*

@@romulus2473 First of all: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m7SnlrulvKy7mZc.html You haven't heard what I have to say, yet you dismiss me as someone who hasn't played the game/speaks out of his ass.While ignorance is your right, assumption makes ass out of you and me. I admit, I didn't bring my point across in the first place quite clearly (Ok. none at all actually) but anyway. Second of all: there's no denying how much different updates have changed Stellaris: point on being second hand knowledge how everything was great before LeGuin patch or how everything was great before free jumping was delegated to hyperlines (I wasn't there so I can't confirm or deny.) The point what I try to make is that if espionage is so groundbreaking they can introduce it later.

Hang on, I know you from somewhere

I love slaving the whole known world

The power you give me, i will lay down when this crisis has abated.

basically just describing the Star Wars galaxy here

@@user-zv2zz6kn6w or Combine

Honestly hope so. I'd rather internal politics than anything else thought if right now. Factions having levels and managing policies, while they vote on new laws. Maybe this would only be for player empires.

@@joeandrew8752 That would be cool. Multi-level factions? Like progressively larger issues, and higher political power?

@@davidk1308 something like that. What id like is faction levels with certain "resolutuons" locked behind certain levels and their approval for you. They could even do tge same vote in a senate that the new galactix comunity is doing. They level up based on support. So you have more reasons to pay attention to what they want. When you get an authoritarian faction or whatever that get to a high enough level that does not approve of you then you can have a rebellion or whatever. It seems doable at least. Maybe you could support other empire factions etc. Update leader agendas to be more interesting and add some events that will help or harm a faction. Even have non ethics factions like pirates / syndicate or rebel/ mercenaries if you want to get creative. With their own wants. Evil factions in your empire you have to suppress etc. The bigger you are the worse they get. So you can't just take over half the galaxy and by midgame feel bored since you don't need anymore planets.

This could help make different government types more unique and interesting. In dictatorships, they could disable this system, monarchies they could allow you to interfere with it by forcing a certain side to win or lose a vote at the cost of some faction opinion and influence, oligarchies you could spend influence to influence it, and democracies you could participate in the vote but not have more power than other factions aside from acting as the deciding vote in a tiebreaker situation (eg if votes tie your side wins). Obviously this system could maybe be done better, but just thought it was a neat idea.

I would like to have about a dozen or more minor laws with minor effects that you can't vote on but sway it with influence. Like if a faction becomes strong enough, it will propose one of these laws and if they don't like you, they will propose a harmful one. Like happy militarists would propose a law regarding fleet size, something like +5% fleet capacity (or something else minor) for like +5% usage of consumer goods to make up for it. An unhappy faction could pass something like a martial law, which creates unhappiness for example. And different factions (since in the new update factions will become far stronger and more diverse than now) could have coalitions, like materialists being in favour of maybe militarist laws and directly opposing religious laws. Maybe 4 per faction, so about 24 and maybe some generic ones. Those could be also unlocked by the Galactic Community.

Hey Vsauce, Michael here!

That's what romans thought.

TheArklyte They already announced the release date, bro. Expect it to launch sometime in late 2019.

@@N0TYALC do you also treat Coming Soon on Steam page as date announcement by any chance?

@@N0TYALC so it should be out rn then correct

N0TYALC late 2019?

N0TYALC So you are saying I gotta go back in time to get this dlc damnit

2.0 was supposed to make the game less lag. Doubt they can do anything to improve the situation the game basic design makes it laggy.

Because religions don’t tend to work well together, three empires based on three different religions, reli 1: I have the truth. Reli 2 : no I have the truth. Reli 3: you’re all wrong and that makes you heretics, Crusade!

TheNinthGeneration Or, they could be the same religion. Spiritualist Empires already get along.

J2Dragon but that’s on earth with humanity, all god’s have similar claims of humans being #1 above all others because we are like the gods. Other religions would promote their species, thus you get a contradiction

@@TheNinthGenerarion You could easily headcannon it as a sort of "Church Convention" where they get together and create a universal religion, thus creating a "federation". If a bunch of religious aliens got together and realized they had similar religions in a overall sense, dispite being seperated by light years, and also found out that they live in a galaxy of Materialist scum, its not inconceivable they could try and reconcile their faiths in the name of Pragmatism imo.

PipGang that could be possible over time

2020 is just beginning lol

While I love this game, there is a host of things i wish they would fix before adding any new stuff to the game. Don't think it's going to happen though.

@@robelmurph I'd like to know what you think should be fixed? As I agree there should be a lot more fixing, but the federations and diplomacy did need a bit of love though :)

@@teaser6089 Well, we can go with the most commonly talked about one's performance and AI. I also happen to think that factions still need some work. As they are a bit out of balance right now and can ruin some games.

@@robelmurph agreed, I'd like them to do that yes and more story would be nice, but the AI is so stupid, I'd also love that diplomacy would feel less liniar lol

Then I want a feature for assassinations of leaders.

Dio Brando That’d be cool as well

Every patch I start by trying to build a viable neo-feudal agrarian/peasant based space empire, every patch I fail. But, there will come a time when all pay homage to the king of space.

I mmean there's a federation for an empire with puppets, with the overlord being head of the federation

But that mean you would also have an idiot overly patriotic general / admiral who cannot even fight a war that he / she's starting and also led ruin to 2 other allied empires at the end lol

Just make the lastest video game hivemind exclusive. Everyone will be begging to become part of the Enclave.

Probably because mechanically it would be difficult. In an MP game, how's that work if two players are in a Fed? I guess it could be an SP-only feature like the End of the Cycle.

@@romulus2473 I dont think the end of the cycle is SP only. 2 People used it in the dev clash.

@@diobrando9685 Yeah thats what I was thinking. I dont see why the game couldn't just end for those nations who get sucked up to that one mega-empire or something similar.

That was probably modded. There are a bunch of mods that bring the End of The Cycle into MP

1) You have a whole economy that has a role in how we build and manage our fleets for war. Systems for resources, minerals and an energy, planets for more minerals and energy and then for alloys. Having a federation do basically the same thing as war all at the cost of influence removes an incentive to do war. 2) we all say the AI can't manage planets, so now imagine having to manage 20 to 30 more planets all at once. 3) the game would end for some people if this were a thing. Unless they build a system where 2 people can manage 1 empire. Just some ideas. It's a cool idea but gameplay wise it's not so great.

Have to agree on that one. There's only, what, 3 DLC to consoles? And like a dozen to PC? Which is understandable, but at the same time a bit disappointing.

Callum Kearney they’re all coming this year

@@kkhagerty6315 Awesoooome, thanks man :)

Michael Scheller they held back the release date to fix some things with the base game in a free update that comes along with the DLC

So kinda like the USA🇺🇸?

@@jackieclan815 yes if we think of it like the states were their own empires serving the government which had a mind of its own I know it would probably be a game mechanic nightmare but it's one of the things I've always wanted

@@dark_lord_talion6487 Yeah same here it would be Hella interesting

@@jackieclan815 having to adapt to what the federation says would be so weird like they could tax you or tell you to go colonize or something and you have to do it

@@dark_lord_talion6487 ikr but it would be so interesting! Idk if you ever heard of Bannerlord but that would be crazy if they implement it in that game as well

Give Paradox some time. They will do it eventually.

Someone need to uplift this poor primitive.

@@matthewmcneany uplift? I believe you mispelled exterminate.

​@@Hacker-pt3wm You've been warned before - One more event like the Kaldor incident and you're out the federation.

@@matthewmcneany *sigh*. But the primitives don't deserve to live in our galaxy. They can barely even put two rocks together. Uplifting them would be far too much work.

Got great with them relations to

You are Fuggin dead.

I have. Tried to play with Horatio, couldn't get into it.

i dont played yet, but all the factions are interesting, i would try all of them :) i even wanted to create Endless Space factions in Stellaris because why not, but there are a lot what you cant. Umbral Choir for example, you cannot play as psionic entities, dont even mension that they are an invisible empire. and you cannot create Vaulters because of Cherryh update... honestly, i prefer more the old Stellaris with the old resource and colony management mechanics without the Cherryh and Le Guine updates

I believe they're also sorting out the performance issue which is a major problem in need of a fix.

ImagenNoReligion Welcome to Paradox

Why would you be scared? You can only be scared they won't fix it if you think there's a possibility that they MIGHT fix it. Which they won't.

Soon.
