I declare Casus Belli on Alpha Centauri!

I declare Casus Belli on Alpha Centauri!

Tales of your misdeeds are told from Sol to Blorg. This is a formal declaration of WAR. Our armies shall meet on the field of battle. (CK2 still has the best war messages)

The game sorely needed these changes.

[Mephansteras]

Yeah, I like these changes.

Prepare yourselves, filthy Human. The Xor'Quol are now marching to claim our rightful soil on Aurora! Our ships shall shatter your defenses and blot out the light of Sol over Earth! This is a formal declaration of WAR!

I think what I like most about these changes is how claims/war goals/whatever affect how War Exhaustion grows. So you can have quick border skirmishes to claim a few systems or long, drawn out battles to the death. It'll be a nice change of pace from the usual 'Every war is a major climatic event' that we usually see in these kinds of games. It might make getting blitzed by another empire annoying though, as they take a few systems from you and hold out long enough to force a white peace/status quo/whatever. But if you can do the same to a large empire and enjoy a 10 year period of not getting ganked... We'll see how it works out.

[ZeroGravitas]

It's a pretty good new system overall. Seems like there might be a lot more superfluous clicking where borders were handled automatically before, as you basically move them manually in all situations now. But much better than what currently exists.

[ollobrains]

it does seem to be an improvement over what exists now, and paradox will probably keep developing this game for 3-4 years to come with more dlc so the future looks very nice

[umiman]

It's also worth pointing out that it combines well with the new borders and forced hyperlanes. Making it more strategic, though less realistic. Because you actually have lines of engagement now, and everyone operates on the same playing field.

Just a few more centuries of patches before this game becomes great. We're almost there.

Anyone else feel like someone should make a "GM Mod" for Stellaris? The debug/cheat menu could already be used to such effect regardless, but it feels like it would be an interesting tool for anyone doing a sci-fi themed game.

I want to make a race of vampires. Basically, dudes that live extraordinarily long lives and farm other sentients for "blood" (food). I don't want to purge them for food, mind, I want slave pops to serve as renewable food sources. Therefore, the gestalt consciousnesses are out. What's the best sort of traits and civics to choose for these vampires? Should I pursue the genetic engineering lines of ascension perks?

Not sure whether you're intending to play Vanilla or not, but there's a semi-recent mod that might of interest on that front: "Syncretic Plus." Starting with some delicious-trait pops, for example.

Nah, I don't care about Vanilla all that much (but I don't like cheaty mods). Syncretic Plus looks perfect! Thanks.

[Sirus]

Huh. My very first Horizon Signal event triggering, and it just so happens to be my vampire race. Fairly early in the game too; no colonies, no frontier outposts, just exploration and five jumps from the homeworld.

This will get interesting fast, I believe.

[andrea]

what was will be. what will be, was.
