I thought they said that they might be an expansion feature. So IDK if that'd be in the base game at release.

I like "To the Ends of the Galaxy" particularly. Got the balance of downtempo/ambient synths with an orchestral layer. Paradox has always had pretty good music, my favourite from all their games has been from the Hearts of Iron series.
Also my favourite music from what I've heard from Stellaris is still in its reveal trailer. So good.

So, this is cool. Somebody on the Paradox forums put together an Excel sheet that lets you calculate your starting empire bonuses, with traits and ethos and so on. Obviously not going to be comprehensive or necessarily correct at launch, but still.

Magnificent. This game is going to consume me.
Wow. Sounds like something out of Deus Ex (that's a good thing).
I got Mass Effect vibes. But I can see (hear) where you are coming from with Deus Ex.

Do we know the price yet?
$40 most likely.

Andreas Waldetoft does fantastic work. I only really started listening to his work because I got a Paradox Humble Bundle with the soundtracks (some years ago), but boy am I glad I did.
What are the chances of Paradox either including or selling the soundtrack to Stellaris? I need more space music.

I imagine they've got plans for a collectors edition with it included. At least I hope so too!

Paradox Games on their main Grand strategy engine is extremely mod friendly
And since its the same engine, people are familiar with it.
~43 minute video with AngryJoe and Henrik. Just starting to watch it myself so I've no idea what's on here, but at this point I'm just jonesing for something to watch.

Heh, they added the ability to rename your leaders, like he asked about:
I really like these guys:
They did such a great job on the portraits in this game.

Hahahaha, he really made a point of stressing how cool a feature that would be. So cool that they listened. This was great footage, and the most in-depth interview I saw coming out of GDC. everyone else that did footage of stelaris, showed only a veyr brief demo complete guided by the dev, but not Joe, he was asking smart questions, getting at little nitty gritty stuff. Unfortunately he wasn't very familiar wiht the game back at GDC, so we don't get much new info.
Awesome vid though.

Was a fun stream, there was a great song playing at a certain point in the stream I haven't heard before. Will try post a timestamp when the VOD is up.

Yeah, forreal.
40 is still the most likely. It's what all their other stuff is priced.
It's not, they're just doing regional pricing shenanigans but they want your cellphone number before they'll give you a code so nah to that. Shadiest thing about it is that they won't tell you they want your cell number until AFTER you pay.

Weird that they're selling it for £19.99 in the UK store.

Might have to bite if it's cheaper than elsewhere
OH yeah I doubt they know the pricing.

The reasoning behind that is interesting:
