ShadySands Posted October 20, 2019 Posted October 20, 2019 I'll agree that BattleTech DLC has been overpriced and underwhelming but I'm not sure I'd go that far. 2 Free games updated 3/4/21

Chilloutman Posted October 20, 2019 Posted October 20, 2019 jesus that was cringy how he expect applause after each sentence xD. I hope diplomacy will just not meed different federations but also different option how to deal with other spiecies other than feeding them cash. Also no espionage?

213374U Posted October 20, 2019 Posted October 20, 2019 My only experience with espionage in Paradox games was back in HoI2, where it went from useless chore to lolwtf in the course of a die roll. Couping the Soviet Union was hilarious, until you realized that it completely broke the game. I'm not sure what it would even do in Stellaris. Perhaps something mechanically similar to how criminal syndicate megacorps operate now? Personally, I'd much prefer they focused on fixing war -different combat computers still do nothing beyond flat % bonuses- add variety to the victory conditions, and some much-needed depth to the internal politics aspect of the game. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

213374U Posted October 20, 2019 Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) Yeah, that sounds like the kind of micromanagement that is actually fun to get busy with. Heh. It's kind of sad that Star Wars Rebellion had much better espionage/covert ops mechanics than whatever is on offer twenty years later.

You play multiple protags which probably doesn't matter to a whole lot of people but I don't like it in general and hate it in RPGs. And me just being negative because I'm already put off, I'm also guessing it's going to be pretty on the rails or alternatively nothing you do will matter to make 3 stories weave together.

I only played Space Empires 5. The way it was handled there was similar to how it worked in Darkest Hour, with budgeting and high-level objectives. Less micromanagement and a layer of abstraction above Rebellion but little impact on the game overall. And on the other side of the spectrum you have the hacking mechanics in Endless Space 2 which is a constant chore you need to deal with but adds nothing except aggravation. They do seem to be listening to what people ask for in terms of systems, so I have little doubt that espionage mechanics will be added not too far down the road. But with the AI coming apart at the seams as it is, I'm not so sure the game will be better for it... - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
