Stellaris |OT| Imperium Universalis

Got my key for GMG now to download. Thankfully it's only 1.6GB so it shouldn't take long even on my crappy internet.
 
Damn, making my first species is going to take forever. I'm really tempted to just ignore actual bonuses and just pick the traits I want for roleplay purposes. Anyone else doing that?

Of course. Makes for far more hilarious experiences.
 
Damn you GMG!!

I JUST QUIT MY JOB SO I COULD COME HOME AND PLAY.


WHYYYYYY

EDIT: JUST GOT IT FROM GMG.


QUITTING MY JOB WORKED

Wow, I'm not 100% sure if this is just a joke or real life...
 
I don't think so. They're not all that complicated. You're given a visual indicator that shows the radius of how far your wormhole stations allow you to travel, and you can freely travel within that radius. You'll just have to construct more Wormhole stations to go further.

Warp is the easiest to understand between the 3 propulsion types, but I would argue it's probably the worst of the bunch.

Thanks! Think i will give wormhole FTL a try as it seems really handy.
 
i bought this with the gmg discount even though i don't even own a machine that can run it. should have just waited for an inevitable steam sale, but couldn't resist.

100% real life.

Sent HR and my boss an email and said I resigned effective immediately.

Lets leave out the part where I have another offer already signed and I start it next week. Been working on that for a couple weeks- just got the formalities done this morning. Lets just agree it was for Stellaris ok???

My code showed up on the GMG website

Perfect timing, because my ISP has been having issues for the past few hours and I won't be able to download it!
 
game doesn't open for me, the music starts and it's in the task bar but i can't access it

if anyone has the same issue
go to the settings in the launcher and set the game to windowed fullscreen, that solves the problem

Pro as heck, man

Thanks for the tip, hopefully I won't need it :)

I hate when people have some problem and then are just like "nevermind, fixed it."

Finally finished the download...

I loved playing Ascendancy as I was younger but I could not get into Master of Orion 2.

Also those types of games (Sins of a Solar Empire, Civ 4/5 etc.) seem to overwhelm me after a while. I'm having fun for (huge) amounts of times but I always feel like I'm doing bad.
Is this game for me? D:

If Civ V overwhelms you, this is probably not your kinda game.

Not mechanically complex but.. let's say it get's confusing as you grow :D
Also I do not like combat in those types of games that much - I jsut read in the OP that pacifist is possible which I personally LOVE. :D

Might give this a go.
 
For gamers with old PCs; it runs on my X3 II Phenom with a GTX 260 without issues. I'll try on my Surface 3 (not pro) but I don't expect to run it on this device though.
 
Not sure if anyone cares about the novel, but here are a few details as it is my first ebook via Steam and not sure how readily available details are out there.

Formats: epub, mobi, pdf
Pages: 200
Author: Steven Savile
ISBN: 978-91-87687-59-4

I've only read the first few paragraphs to get an idea of the prose, as I am not familiar with the author, and it feels fairly standard as far as video game novels goes. Not much in the way of characterization, premise, or plot thrust so I can't really qualify any of that, but looks like it will be a quick read. Can give a mini-review if anyone is interested, though I admit I am far from the greatest literature critic.
 
That feeling of wasting an hour clicking things in the menu as you have no idea of what character you want to play with of any RPG game. Now also in a Paradox strategy game.

Fuck me.
 
30 mins later, I finally created my first empire.

The character creator is actually pretty cool with the various clothes, colors, etc. I am sure a ton of great portraits will be modded in.

Was trying to learn some of the keyboard shorcuts, as I want to use a tablet for this and found something I cant undo.

I presume its a map ping I hold alt ctrl right click, and it pings them wherever I click but I cant see a way to remove them, and they are rather distracting. I really wish there was shorcuts list and a way of zooming other than using the mouse wheel.
 
Is there a early game tech to increase the wormhole generator range? I think I got pretty bad starting location as there is only one other system in range.
