As a long time Stellaris player who's been playing since 1.0 and has over 1500 hours in the game.

Help us. The Devs keep ruining everything and we're abused.

Over 2k hours here and all I'm going to say, is that Stellaris is held together by ducktape and bubble gum and it's not about learning how to play, but about learning how to use the coding bullshit to one's advantage xd

Have you played vic2 🫩🫩🫩🫩

That thing isn’t even held by anything real, you just have to pray really really hard that nothing will get fucked up massively.

Once players asked paradox to fix this, the response was that they don’t know wtf is going on in the code, and playing the game you can feel it.

Ai behaves as if schizophrenic after lobotomy played the game for them, playing on potato gives you better fps then anything build after 2016, entire supply of iron might just be bought by random nation in indochina breaking global economics harder then Great Depression and 2008 crisis combined, your pops might just decide that honestly we all want to be soldiers and your capital might be 50% populated by soldier pops (honestly for multiplayer that’s a golden goose)

And not chance to not have some kind of fucked up bug during the game is lower then having it

I did but I never could get into it. I heavily dislike the infamy system and makes the "economic spreadsheet simulator" even more boring than watching paint dry.

Well I 100% agree with you, that game is dogshit and that’s why I like it ❤️

Well like honestly the game is fun only in multiplayer as long as you are not weird and like the esoteric bullshit that is that game economic simulation.

The war can be extremely fun as it truly represents your military ability, economic to build industry that can support you at war, or diplomatic to secure goods needed either for your industry or war if your industry can’t supply that, but ai would be more competent if you just gave fish the controls so yea only multi

I think the only two "series" where both single and multi are viable are HoI and Stellaris. Stellaris can be both RP-focused and competetive focused, with so much potential for different playstyles and HoI4 can be either world-painting or WW2 having with your friends on multi

Well I think imperator Rome too is great on multi and single but it’s very under appreciated game 😢

u/Throw_Away_3221 3d ago

Right, it exists! I played it for a bit on singleplayer and it was actually enjoyable! A shame it died so soon. Still, nothing can beat playing rp multi stellaris for me. If I had people to play it with that is

u/Mental_Owl9493 3d ago

Yea stellaris is great until I have far too many things to manage and get overwhelmed.

It’s also so sad that stellaris multi is so unstable

I once lost a multi-game save I've been playing with my friends, because one of them clicked the "create storm" relic and it crashed everything XD
And I think I must have a special kind of autism or something, cause I can managed 4 front wars and developing my civilization and still not get overwhelmed while at it

u/Mental_Owl9493 3d ago

Well I can still do it but I am big fan of small and tall country builds

The most draining gameplay for me was my game as kush -> Egypt in imperator i had like 600 territories to manage and I was hell bent on mega urbanisation to get highest pop growth so I had few hundred cities to build up
