[Great Order]

I don't think they do, there was another empire selling slaves but it was barely a trickle, so I doubt they sell X% of their slave pops.

If I had to guess, I'd imagine they sell based on overpopulation and energy needs.

[DeKaFu]

Earned "Eternal One" (all achievements get) on Slay the Spire.

Last one I needed was an ascension 20 win, which I managed on the Silent with a hilarious shiv deck.

Included:
2x Footwork
3x Accuracy
2x After Image
4x Blade Dance

mostly upgraded, among other things. Mummified Hand was a lucky score. Also Kunai and Shuriken, of course.

Got a tiny bit hairy when I rolled Time Eater as a final boss, but it turns out even he can be quickly ruined when each Blade Dance is generating 4 shivs that do 25 damage apiece.

I finished Spelunky for the first time, even if I had to use the shortcut to do it, and then lucking out that the shit above Olmec was mostly bombs. I lured him to a corner then blasted a massive hole in the floor and lured him back to it.

My record stands at 1/329.

I am saddened that my earlier attempt, during which I went through the black market while being a criminal, ended in failure in the Temple with a potential City of Gold run when I forgot to jump off a spike trap.

My super strong, vampire, elephant man killed a hydra with its bare hands. The final strike was suitable dramatic too. A claw right through the thing's chest, to its heart, which caused it to finally bleed out.

First attempt to hit an enemy zeppelin with the flare gun, not knowing the flight dynamics of the flare and (in hindsight) at a distance outside where I should be trying aim the flare gun, scored a direct hit. Destroyed all but one, while three British planes were trying to kill me. I killed them instead.

Warplanes: WWI Fighters(currently just playing the demo). Flying WWI planes in VR, because goddamn I love my vertigo :\. It's actually pretty neat. You can do ground bombing; this is accomplished by taking bomb and throwing it out the cockpit.

My brother got Stellaris on Humble Bundle and we've been playing with two other people *_*
wait I can't take credit for that

On our second run the Khan woke up again, once again *directly* next to us.  We had to surrender again, but we were better prepared and were able to ever-so-slightly delay him at a couple of key systems.  See, being a satrap isn't actually very bad at all, but we wanted to preserve our federation.  Even if we weren't in it.

I'd accidentally let the Subterranean Empire spawn, but had peacefully vassalized them.  I released them, giving them full Federation membership.  Then our envoys desperately buttered up a megacorp until it agreed to join (it was easier once our hive-player had to surrender to the Khan).  So soon the Federation was just me and these two AI, with the horde swelling with the forces of the three other players.  As their levies smashed through my defense, I surrendered as well.

A couple years later the Khan died, mere moments from crushing the megacorp's homeworlds.  His successor released everyone, embracing egalitarian ideals.  Our trade Federation had survived, barely, without us being in it.  We begged our way back in (it took a lot of coaxing to let them accept our hive mind player) and now things are looking pretty gravy.

A nice thing about Stellaris is that there's absolutely no need to backstab these valiant NPC empires, and we have no intention to.  Two of us would feel *awful*, and the other two don't care.  We will prosper together!

(We do kinda dominate Federation politics of course, by colluding as players, but it's in the best interests of all involved.  The AI can be very dumb - like refusing to surrender to the Khan <3)

[Nighthawk]

Not much of an own, since the boss is easy peasy, but I just tried out early-game Zweihander, and... wow. Chunking half of Taurus Demon's HP with a plunging attack and then repeatedly staggering him during the fight for an easy win was unbelievably satisfying. I don't think I'll ever go back to puny daggers after this.

Not even once.

Seeing how easily you owned that dude, I seriously must ask: Why did you ever think strength weapons were bad to begin with?

I was previously not aware that bosses could stagger, so I assumed I'd be expending my entire stamina bar to swing a giant sword that the big bad would simply power through before following up with a gut punch to my self-esteem. Now that I know I can bully them... everything is different. It's... it's beautiful.

I see now how foolish I was.

Still keeping some pyromancy in my back pocket, though. Just in case I run into something that is difficult to sword. Also because I want to smoke weed erryday cast Power Within and boost my damage to ludicrous levels.

[Egan_BW]

Do give Great Combustion a try when you meet Quelana. Str weapon damage and stagger at Dex weapon speed!

And you don't have to put levels into damage, which is why I've died a few times to low level invaders in elite knight's armor who just walk up and melt my face off with fire. :v

[Loam]

Since we're sorta talking DS1 builds, I did one where I almost didn't level anything but Vitality and Endurance - just enough Str and Dex to one-hand a halberd, and some Attunement in the late game. Then I just went Fire reinforcement (later Lightning) + Pyromancy 'cause none of those have stat scaling.

Not saying it was a great build or anything, but it was pretty fun.

Frying Gwyn with +20 Pyromancy Flame & several Great Combustions was fun too. Like, some seriously OP damage on those things.

[SeriousConcentrate]

I think my favorite build in DS1 was a DEX build. I had the wood grain ring, full shadow set armor, parry dagger in the off-hand, and (eventually) +15 bandit knife in the right. It was the first time I tried going without a shield for the whole game and instead rolling or parrying everything, and it was pretty fun.

[methylatedspirit]

I beat Gravitee Wars by basically turning it into Trickshot Simulator 2010. I played like normal for the first few levels, then I came up with the brilliant idea to max out my units' Accuracy.

Accuracy increases the length of the trajectory preview, so by the time I maxed it out, I just went around gleefully trickshotting my enemies to death, and I managed to get at least Silver on almost every level. I preferred the instadeath methods; launching enemies out of bounds, into shields, and into stars. AI started being a pain by the end, but before that, it was a total massacre. Accuracy is OP.

[Akura]

Using broadhead arrows, I shot two enemies in a row in the neck, decapitating them. The second one, I caught their head out of the air and used it to bludgeon several people to death.

Blade & Sorcery. The broadhead arrows, along with the bow I was using, are from the Medieval Mega Pack mod.
