Stellaris - space grand strategy in space, from Paradox (in space).

[Bentguru]

Looks good... actually it looks very familiar.... like sword of the stars.

Heh, how much you wanna bet paradox decided to build their own space 4x game after the absolute abortion that was SOTS II. The timeline fits. I hope mecron has a fucking anyeurism and strokes out when he hears the news.

Every single game of mine will revolve around tearing reality a new one and slowly ushering the era of Tzeentch, preferably while recreating Star Trek gone Event Horizon.

Finally we can fight back, finally we can take the war to the comets.

As a concept the game is everything I've ever wanted (and many here I'd assume ever wanted). Paradox has me hooked with CK2 and EUIV (though the former is my fav) and I hope this can be great at launch, and with expansions, be the game I've always wanted in a few years. I hope it lasts mostly, but Paradox has been amazing with putting life into CK2, and that game has been around for many years now.

I just wish they'd stop balancing around mp.

Its fine to do this as long as you put equal effort into the netcode. Balancing for MP and half-assing the netcode is just :CCP:

[Venec]

Yeah, why bother with their netcode?

[TheManFromDelmonte]

Balancing for mp is fine as long as most of your players play mp. They dont

Really thats just a matter of AI; there are plenty of games designed around multiplayer that play just fine in SP due to good AI.

And none of them are Paradox games.

[Straight Hustlin]

Yes because so many people play CKII, EU4, Vicky, or HOI and say to themselves, "damn this is too easy"

> implying game difficulty and AI sophistication are the same thing
