by the way, will there be more colours for empires in the final game? can't tell where one empire begins and another begins at the bottom of the map since it looks like at least three right next to each other seem to be red.

They need thick border separaters so you can tell. It looks awful when the reds are all together like that.

 

[Anno]

I think it's more a problem of changing distribution of empires since color is determined by the player. But yeah some sort of border line would help as well.

This battle feels like something from EVE. Gonna be epic!

 

[John Dunbar]

so i guess my pc that can only run europa universalis 4 on normal settings will not be able to run this. time to get that gaming pc.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

Saw that coming a mile away

 

[Octavianus]

So strong fallen empires are strong. Who knew?
Sadly enough, there's actually a topic on the official forum from someone asking why they're so powerful...

Rringworlds look pretty. Think we'll be able to build our own ringworlds eventually?

Going to be watching all of those previous videos from the beginning of the Blorg while at work this weekend! Game looks like it might just do me fine.

Oh, I'll be busy tomorrow then!

 

[John Dunbar]

haven't notice it yet, so does this game have euiv style ledger? it's good if there's no ledger spying or stuff like that, but lists like current wars and such?

 

[spiritfox]

Is that Eve Online? /s

Can't be, the framerate is above 2 fps.

 

[LightInfa]

I didn't know that one of the parts of Stellaris I'd be most excited for would be actually showing space battles!

I'm about to jump into the streams, but could someone point out when this happened in it?

 

[Tworak]

Can't be, the framerate is above 2 fps.

but just barely

[Raticus79]

Any word on SLI support?

 

[Rosur]

Nova edition pre-order can't wait.

 

[LurkerPrime]

I was expecting the sedate battles of EU4 or CK2, not... this.

 

[Lister]

Any word on SLI support?

I don't think GPU is the bottleneck in this game. Whatever you're SLI'ing will probably be fine single GPU wise. The devs have been quite on SLI support, so I wouldn't count on it.

I'm on 4K so the GPU power comes into play a bit more. One Titan X can probably handle it but I often wind up needing to turn some settings down for single GPU games.

Not like it's super important for this kind of game anyway, but it's nice. I've got a preorder in regardless. Will see how it goes.

I haven't watched any Blorg videos in a while, but based on the map shown here, there seems to be an option for thicker borders. Can't remember seeing it look like that in any of the footage shown before.

 

[Nokterian]

This looks craazzy!

4K definitely puts more strain on the GPU, but it's mostly down to per pixel/shader effects and memory bandwidth. I think you'd still be fine. They're recommended is a 560ti - let's bump that up a smidge to a 750ti for a better comparison, your Titan X (can you adopt me?) has 4.6 times more shader power assuming no OC

Y'know, I hope that image is in the OP. It's more badass than I could have imagined.

 

[EMT0]

I can't believe this game drops in the middle of my finals schedule. At least I'll have the greatest reward ever for finishing.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

This game drops the same day as Uncharted 4 in my region, I think.

Sorry Drake but I've got big boy games to play before I get to you.

You've made the right decision.

God I'm SO HYPED.

Less than 5 days!

Just pre ordered the nova edition on GMG, came out cheaper then the base edition.

No, this will be my first one.

You're in for a treat.

I still owe you a beer at some point too

 

[More_Badass]

No, this will be my first one.

Technically I've "played" Crusader Kings 2, but never really played played it. This'll be the 4x I really sink time and focus into. Very excited. The sci-fi style does wonders to increase my interest
