[QUOTE=Lone Wolf807;50405911]Mexico and Sweden have 3, Spain has 1, CHC has 1. Right.. Right.. I'd also like to mention they don't even have Franco. What the fuck lol.[/QUOTE] finland, an actual combatant in the war, has 2

Time to mod in some more then!!!

[QUOTE=Mallow234;50406800]Time to mod in some more then!!![/QUOTE] AKA, time to do their work for free!!!

Could anyone briefly explain how Stellaris plays and what the strong points are? Thinking about getting it but it's hard to get a feeling by watching the game.

[QUOTE=Lone Wolf807;50407793]AKA, time to do their work for free!!![/QUOTE] You could say that about any mod/game

I'm really enjoying the HOI4 France Co-op game

[QUOTE=Tuskin;50408016]You could say that about any mod/game[/QUOTE] Hey man all I'm saying is, when the game doesn't include Francisco Franco, part of the SCW. A poster child for the battle of ideologies during WW2. And instead it has 3 commanders for a neutral nation that hasn't been in a war since the 1800's, and CHC, a major player in the era has one. Something is wrong.

So, with the Unbidden, you gotta take them out as early as possible, right? 'cause they spawned as faaaaaaaar as possible from my empire :( [t]http://i.imgur.com/aOeAcVF.png[/t] At least when they get to me I've got piles of vassals as a buffer v:v:v [editline]a[/editline] Operation wiggly-wormholes is going well: [t]http://i.imgur.com/DwCYqy5.png[/t] Had to sell myself to so many empires to get border access, and lucked out with some frontier outpost-able systems along the way to use as 'free' jumping points. Even had to join a federation full of empires that are 'pathetic' in comparison to me just to get border access for [I]one[/I] system, since I didn't share borders and couldn't trade for it. (the 'us' is me and my vassals, not the federation, i should add)

Guys, while 1.1b did improve the AI, this further adds on to it. I've been having a lot of fun with this mod, the AI is more pragmatic and ruthless in it's diplomacy, but it's not an all-out brawl. [url]http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=692253918[/url] Fixed a ton of my complaints I posted about earlier in the thread. Also, totally offtopic, but my account was hacked and banned on this forum a while a go after someone got my password and posted a bunch of weird shit about how his life was shitty. I was a gold member, [URL="https://facepunch.com/member.php?u=153204"]Lifehole[/URL], but I'm not sure where to go to get it back. It's not really a big deal to me but just wanted to mention it.

I tried to kill off the Unbidden as quickly as possible myself and that just resulted in my entire fleet getting destroyed since all of their fleets were so concentrated. I let them spread for a decent amount of years until they were about 1/8th of the galaxy and then it was a cakewalk. I only encountered 2 fleets while making my way to their wormhole compared to their shitload I encountered when they were concentrated

[I]Nearly[/I] beat them with a single 48k~ stack but had to pull it out at about 19k because more fleets came through the portal during the fighting and they were starting to win. [t]http://i.imgur.com/8DaW1JI.png[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/ATv6Srx.png[/t] Reinforced that fleet to 60k~ and then just went through and steamrolled them, while having a couple more battleship groups trailing in to pop the portal as to try get in on the glory :v: [t]http://i.imgur.com/xaBwevR.png[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/t0lCqAf.png[/t] It felt like the Unbidden could do with a buff tbh, since they don't seem much of a threat at the point in the game they tend to arrive at - this was without the 1.1 beta patch btw, so it was just me fighting them instead of the whole galaxy reacting to the threat. Also, their weaponry seems a bit lacklustre; matter disintegraters seem worse in almost every way to my tried-and-trusted arc emitter/torpedo spam :v:

I think the Collective Conciousness government is added by Playable Robots. I wonder why they made vocal versions of some of the soundtrack, I don't see where they would be used.

stellaris DD, its just funny bugs they had during development [url]https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/stellaris-dev-diary-35-qa-in-space.939356/[/url]

Oh yes, finally. [video=youtube;ecKtI8_PLQc]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecKtI8_PLQc[/video] The Star Trek Armada III team is creating a full on Star Trek mod for Stellaris.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;50408016]You could say that about any mod/game[/QUOTE] Many mods only add content that doesn't exist in-game. Generals already exist in-game but they are lacking, so any mods adding more are doing their work. I defend Paradox a lot, but how hard is it for them to look at lists of generals/leaders during the war(don't even have to be famous ones) and just shit a few out quickly for countries without many in the game. It's not like they have to write full-on biographies about them, they just have to code a couple lines for their stats, add a pic, and they are set.

Even generic, randomly generated faceless generals would be preferable to only having 2 historical ones. I usually play minors in HOI, and it always frustrates me that I can only have like 4 generals even after blobbing up all of South America as Columbia.

You need commanders to use battle plans, so there has to be.

Arumba is an idiot. [editline]2nd June 2016[/editline] [video]https://twitter.com/Steam_Spy/status/738463579112886272[/video] [editline]2nd June 2016[/editline] [video]https://twitter.com/ShamsJorjani/status/738481802856308736[/video]

Uh, if we believed everything the dev's said is the best gameplay we'd have fucking straits connecting everything in the game. The dev's aren't the best players in Arumba's view. Arumba isn't wrong, and he isn't right either. Why? Because its his opinion, why are you calling him an idiot for that?
