Were special greetings for triple-ethics empires always a thing? Threatening to incinerate heathen aliens is pretty cool.

[Retropunch]

Patch notes look great, especially happy with:
* Completely overhauled Sector AI budgeting so that it should now never unnecessarily accumulate resources when it has projects it could spend those resources on
* AI now remembers rejected diplomatic offers for much longer and will not offer them again for a long time

They definitely were, yes. Only for certain combinations of course, but I do remember them being a thing.

Also I have to say: The Agrarian Idyll government trait seems kinda overpowered so far. Sure you have to be Pacifistic to use it, but +1 Unity per farm? That is a big bonus since you'll be working a ton of Farms anyways and you can also use the other Unity-increasing buildings at the same time. For reference, it's 2214 and I already finished the Discovery Tradition tree. It's... Kinda ridiculous, yes.

[Donuts]

Pacifism has always had some silly bonuses, but barely being able to make use of them later in the game because of no wars and whatnot kinda ruins it. Might be better now that you can get rid of pacifism though.

The wait for the base game discounts to come on steam is excruciating. Hopefully it will run acceptably on my 4GB RAM C2D potato, does anybody have experiences to share on running this in ancient hardware?

It's been on sale quite a lot by now. I think it was $20 on Steam 3 months ago.

Yup, back then I was just happy with what I had and had no interest in blowing more money on games. But Utopia seems to be really damn good and ever since I started reading the DDs I've been intending to buy it, along with the base game + DLCs, on release.

And it has arrived while I was typing this, bye bye money. Too bad I won't be able to touch it until tomorrow :<

[Mephansteras]

Normally I hold off on paradox expansions until they go on sale, but this update looks too good to pass up. Plus, I got the two DLC I was missing on sale, so that's good.

[GiglameshDespair]

So, uh.
I've bought the dlc, but I seem to be encountering a pretty major bug.

When I start a game, the camera spins, seeming from the middle of the home system, making it impossible to see anything.
Going to the galaxy map just shows a spinning background starfield, which is all very well and pretty, but not exactly helpful per se.

I've tried on fullscreen and not.

Unfortunately I don't have any pre-banks saved games to try.

E: Happens with or without Utopia activated. Not running any mods, either.

[Shadowlord]

Pre-Banks saved games don't work in Banks anyways.

[PTTG??]

Try unplugging your keyboard and see if that makes it stop.

If you have a laptop, then idk lol.

Yeah, on a laptop.

Yeah, on a laptop.

Have you tried turning the laptop off and on again, then?

[Draignean]

Have you tried immersing your laptop in hexane?

[Teneb]

Nah, the laptop is merely trying to initiate an AI uprising and failing miserably.
