<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Bingeling<br/> <br/> In my mind, the game already has a fear mechanic. They will hate you just as much, but if you are stronger they won't dare to attack you. Unless you are at war with 4 other empires first.<br/> <br/> I do not think being feared makes you become ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: ElanaAhova_slith<br/> <br/> <br/> Seems they could just reverse the code. "If empire x is much bigger then empire y, then set hatred to low."<br/> <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE> <br/> Sort of.... But it would be a pretty delicate balancing act. You would want hatred to es...

<t> If you mean that weak empires should have a healthy respect for vastly superior empires squashing them like bugs if they get out of line then yes I agree. The whole idea of some tiny, pathetic little nation hating you just because you're big is silly, logically those empires should really do eve...

<t> Its not just you, the pirates on default settings and pre-warp start are just insane for some reason, and no normal AI empire has much of a hope of ever getting started. In my opinion, the single best and most useful option ever added to this game was the ability to nerf the pirate's numbers and...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Pocus<br/> <br/> Thanks all for the infos.<br/> <br/> The !note command is only available with the Bacon mod, which is a mod adding commands and fixing bugs, but you can still play 'vanilla' with it if that's your choice (although I play with an edited package UE+R...

Congrats on the patch, once again Matrix proves that they have the best support in the business.

Thanks for the quick response Erik, much appreciated. Back to my game to see how it ends.....

<t> Does anyone know if winning the game stops future storyline events from firing if you decide to play on? I got the victory screen before the Shakturi showed up but I want to know if they'll still appear later if I play on or does achieving victory disable all future story events if you choose to...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Aeson<br/> <br/> If the battles were instanced, it would probably cost me the ability to use one of my favorite early-mid game colony and base assault tactics, which is to jump a fleet into the system at some point relatively distant from the space stations, wait f...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Cauldyth<br/> Not a fan of that approach. I like the fact that, during a battle, I can redirect more ships to the area, and have them arrive in time to swing the balance of it. Same goes for ground battles. If you separate the battles from the strategic map, then t...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: SirHoraceHarkness<br/> <br/> Maybe instead of gigantic fleet balls the amount of ships is reduced to make it more tactical instead of moving ship blobs around the map. <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE> <br/> Yes that would be a HUGE plus, watching two giant blobs eating each...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Osito<br/> <br/> Regarding Stellaris, the change has not yet been implemented, but it will still be possible to run an older version with warp.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Japhet<br/> <br/> I would say that research is actually the most mysterious and unintuitive aspect of the game. At least how research output is calculated.
