    lol fucking asteroid mining again. Listen we can agree on one thing: The minute SOMEONE drags a positive multiple of their return on investment into orbit---they don't even need to recover it on the surface---EVERYONE will want drag rocks into orbit. It's the Columbus effect. Europeans knew...

    It was sorta possible to build tall and win as a materialistic/xenophile empire and just go for the alliance victory. It's just tricky once you get a lot of allies and it takes 60-70 years before your planet count is assessed for the victory condition. More importantly, tall empires are...

    If you've played CK2 or EU or VIctoria or are familiar with the Paradox Clausewitz games then this is a must-play imo. Even if you haven't but you're willing to invest time in a complex 4x game then this is prolly the best investment outside of Distant Worlds.

    Stellaris

    There's something deeply satisfying about regime change in Stellaris though. It took a while for me to get into the groove, but once you get the hang of provoking defensive wars and forcing the aggressors to break up and vassalizing the small, sympathetic chunks of their country it's a pretty...

    Yeah it's the same engine as CK2 though it's a lot more approachable. It's well WELL worth learning to play it if 4x or grand strategy is a genre you like, but if you can't bring yourself over the hump I'd say refund it while you can. If strategy is your thing though, it's down to this and...

    Apparently hiveminds are pretty OP in muliplayer games because players would metagame their nonaggression pacts anyway. I'm actually wondering if its possible to have hivemind Fallen Empires. That might make for a pretty short game.

    I'd say give it a shot, but it's a demanding game style that doesn't have the most spoonfed UI. It's pausable realtime, that's prolly the biggest thing a civ gamer would have to adapt to. It's easily the best 4X strategy game out there though, and yes I've kickstarted Endless Space 2 and...

    Most people would go for a domination win, just control (via direct or vassalage / protectorate status) 60% of the inhabited planets in the galaxy. Alternatively as of the heinlein patch you've been able to get an Alliance win, just need to get 75% of the inhabited planets under your alliance...

    Have you ever played EU4 or Victoria? The clausewitz games have a pretty steep learning curve. Although stellaris is TECHNICALLY supposed to be the most accessible, it's still pretty daunting if you've never tried their other games. That said, Stellaris actually has their most comprehensive...

    Yeah pretty hyped about it. Won't be able to play for a couple weeks but I'll poopsocking that shit for sure. That said, they've mentioned during their dev diaries and even during their let's play streams that "building tall" isn't really viable except with the very narrowest of win conditions...

    Yeah pretty much.. after I did a quick caravan test it's prolly easier just to craft clothing and trade it for steel at other towns. The only caveat is the random encounters along the way and if you don't bring a gg caravan you're gonna get smoked. My gorillionaire's junkie whore of a wife up...

    Embedded Microchips for Work/Life

    Unfortunate labor theory says otherwise. YOU can hate it all you want, but they don't need to convince YOU, they just need convince the lower-paid shemp who wants to take your job. Eventually supply equilibrium will push more and more low-wage laborers to accept the chips and next thing you...

    You can smelt the slag once you've got machining researched. Then much later you can mine it en masse via deep mining nodes. It takes a LOT of steel to get there tho and the best mid-game way to do it is trading. I think my next game I'll seat the colony super close to a friendly settlement...

    They got six more in storage so... come to think of it, I'd prolly take the SES-10 booster and try to relaunch it a third time for the refurbishment company if they're willing to take the costs. For science.

    I thought I heard that it ended up being only 10% cheaper and not 30% since it was the first refurbished flight. They mustve gotten a coupon tho.
