I believe they said in one of the videos that there's a disaster for each of the 3 various tech "decks".

I'm just wondering what such a thing would even look like, lol.

Wait, are high-level robots a type of pop? It would be so fucking cool to let them win a rebellion and have your empire become a robots-only club.
Yeah I think so. Normal robots are for sure, so I assume these are just those that suddenly decide to unify and start conquering the galaxy.
Though I am curious if you will be able to be conquered, vassalized and still remain in the game to try to work your way back into freedom if another group doesn't meet the win condition first.

They are, yes. So are regular type robots, you can see them in the gameplay footage towards the bottom of the previous page.

And it's not CKII in space, let's not go nuts now lol.
Let me dream.
Another GDC video of a couple different mid/late game loads that show off a couple new game systems.
I am now so hyped I'm worried... it can't possibly live up to this can it??? Paradox almost always (eventually) delivers, but for the most part that's because I manage to keep my expectations low.
Can't wait for the inevitable AAR where someone gets hit with several of these late game crises in one playthrough creating 40K grimdark galaxy.

Who needs mods? Just scream "BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!" every now and then while you crush the weak.
I mean EU IV in space, maybe. It's nothing at all like CK2.
They said themselves that characters have attributes and that is it as far as development goes.
I hope someone makes a Babylon 5 or a Mass Effect mod for it.

So many possible cool mods. Halo, Star Trek, Star Wars, Firefly, Homeworld, etc etc. I'm sure modders can bend the universes to suit the game and vice versa.
And yes, EU IV in space with added 4X = dream game. I hope it lives up to this ridiculous billing, but given Paradox, it might well get pretty close.

So I wonder if after destroying their home world, you can still use the robots to work? Or is it more like the Butlerian Jihad thing where now they aren't allowed for fear of additional uprisings? Maybe that's a dice roll.
That sort of thing could have very interesting effects on how your game develops.

The way it is described makes me think it taints all AI permanently, making the tech a dead end. Like, produce one and it will just join the rebellion.
Stellaris' end-game stuff sounds so rad.
This may be a little pie in the sky but it would fucking crazy if this could potentially lead to a Dune-like society where basically the society completely hampers itself in one regard out of fear of a repeat. Like IIRC, one of the main reasons the spice was so hugely valuable was due to the fact that they would not produce a machine that could guide ships through hyperspace and became solely reliant on the spice to give them the ability to make the jumps through prescience. Could I manufacture a Butlerian Jihad on purpose and become a Paul Atreides figure as a win condition?
I mean more than likely it just means you can't use robots and lost some manufacturing points but let's dream! What a time to be alive.

Some kind of resource/trading thing would make a lot of sense for an expansion, assuming it's not in currently. The Spice must flow!

The Mass Effect mod will be glorious. Protheans, Reapers and Geth already slide right into the systems in place.

Only part that doesn't fit in neatly is the Mass Effect Relay network, and that's probably not too hard.
God, the possibilities here are endless.

This sounds like what I've always wanted these games to be.
I've played Gal Civ and it feels more like a spreadsheet simulator. Your colonies didn't feel like they had people on, the numbers just go up and down due to arbitrary predictable rules. I'm interested in what the general gameplay feels like.

So, for those of you who can't watch for whatever reason, we get a quick look at the ship designer and a more in-depth look at the pop systems, diplomacy, and a WIP Federation menu.
I'm itching for new stuff at the moment so I got a bit excited for a moment Octavianus

Really like this character portrait. The Mammalian, Reptilians and Arthropoid's are definitelly my favourite.
Blorg returns 45 minutes from now in a special 2 hour streaming session: https://www.twitch.tv/paradoxinteractive

Yay!
Oh, and all streams are gonna be 2 hours from now on
Plus, one additional thing, found out yesterday that I was wrong, all species portraits are going to have at least SOME texture variation to them, even if it's just some having stripes or a palette swap. Only humans get discernible male/female differences, but hey, you can't have everything.

That trade looks like a terrible deal. Hmmm..
No but you see, one energy credit = TEN THOUSAND Bisonbucks. Fantastic offer. I'll see you later. In the commissary.

I'm gonna need someone to gif that failed high five.
It was apparently attached to a bug report, I assume about just that.
The Blorg really should form a Federation call 'The Friend Zone'

That would require them to eventually find another species who doesn't despise all alien life. 3/3 xenophobes so far!

I wonder if they will survive long enough to find a race that wants ot be friends. Being surrounded by xenophobic aliens doesn't bode well for the long term. Now they even have factions in that want to ban friends.

So it's basically like playing CKII as a Jewish ruler. Tech and war are your only pastimes. No diplomacy for you!

Haha things were looking pretty grim there for a while, what with them being surrounded by aliens that didn't want to be friends, but they really turned things around torwards the end.
They probably could have gone after that primitive/recently space age'd race a little sooner.
I'm already looking forward to next week!
It is. It's a picture wiz uploaded on twitter from a member of their qa team. Probably should have mentioned that..

Oh, and I really like the ship designer. Lots and lots of options.
