Currently, I have an obsession with board games. The biggest and baddest that require ample time and local friends adjoined in hopeless nerdom. I have neither.
I might as well play Stellaris instead of ache for Eclipse or Twilight Imperium. Except after 300+ hours, I can't bring myself to do so.

Having a blast with this game even though it was just the base game. 60 hrs in and I still haven't finished my first game with United Earth on a Medium galaxy (which is pretty large).

Having a blast with this game even though it was just the base game. 60 hrs in and I still haven't finished my first game with United Earth on a Medium galaxy (which is pretty large). Takes long because I'm watching and reading guides and learning every system in the game but it has all been very enjoyable. But should be wrapping up now soon.
Yesterday I bought ALL major expansions and DLCs for it at a discount so can't wait to start a new game with all that.

I listen to the Stellaris soundtrack often. It’s great. But I don’t play Stellaris! What are some game soundtracks you listen to for games you’ve never played?

Got the Mass Effect mods to work. Even added in some more Mass Effect races even though I had to use Stellaris aliens to represent them. Been playing for another 9 hours approximately, and am further progressed in the game than my first try, but so far I only met the Vorcha Clans (not the best neighbours by the way). …

Been playing for another 9 hours approximately, and am further progressed in the game than my first try, but so far I only met the Vorcha Clans (not the best neighbours by the way). I really don't know why that is, because I made it have one more empires than recommended for the map size. I'll just have to hope the Asari, Turians, Quarians, Salarians, Krogans, Hanar and Batarians are hiding somewhere in the galaxy and that it is not a bug. I really do love the game, but I wish I would meet the other aliens soon, because it feel a lot like just balancing things back and forth right now. Though actually building my fleet might not be such a bad idea... though I still don't really get the ship design part of the game (which was the thing I totally missed where a part of the game on my first try).

After a few (9) hours of trying this game out I have to say I really like it! I did really poorly, and I'm sure I missed some part that is really important to the game (it is a paradox game after all), but even though I was the worst independent galactic empire among all I encountered I did not …
Read moreAfter a few (9) hours of trying this game out I have to say I really like it! I did really poorly, and I'm sure I missed some part that is really important to the game (it is a paradox game after all), but even though I was the worst independent galactic empire among all I encountered I did not die or get overwhelmed. It did live up to my expectation of being a space version of Civilization. Just what I wanted! Sadly I didn't get the Mass Effect mod to work, but I'll try again next time. Any recommendations on the abundance of Mass Effect mods to Stellaris is appreciated! :D

Has anyone bought Stellaris or is anyone considering it? I'm tempted to have a go at this game. I've always been intrigued by 4X space strategy games but I'm horrible at anything strategy-related. I never got deep into Master of Orion because the turn-based aspect made the game a bit too weird and slow. Stellaris is all real time. Also …
Has anyone bought Stellaris or is anyone considering it? I'm tempted to have a go at this game. I've always been intrigued by 4X space strategy games but I'm horrible at anything strategy-related. I never got deep into Master of Orion because the turn-based aspect made the game a bit too weird and slow. Stellaris is all real time. Also all the combat is automated I think, and that's awesome. It's generally the complicated combat sections which scare me away from these types of games. I mastered Dwarf Fortress, it's probably the only strategy game I've ever played so surely I have the mental capacity to play this one.
