Re: Paradox Grand Strat meets Sci-Fi 4X; Boners Explode
I've made a variety of races tbh.
My most successful Empire was one I made to be literally Space Elves (Traits: Talented + Venerable at a minimum, Ethos: Spiritualist, Militarist, Individualist). Long lived, talented leaders are extremely powerful, especially in the late-game.

... I admit one of the Human races uses a customer Alpha Centauri start. Earth is automatically a Tomb world.
..
... Their Homeworld is a savannah named Chiron.
Although my favorite is a weird sort of highly individualistic materialist humans that were kidnapped from earth long ago and became something known as "The Diasporic Colonies."

Ha, that's why you go the mechanical ascension route! Filthy meatbags played with forces beyond their understanding.
Some things that synth ascension does:
- All leaders get bonus to what they do, due to a trait.
- Oh, and they are immortal now.
- No need for food.
- Pops can still grow, but you can also build them
- Spiritualist Fallen Empire goes apeshit. In fact, all spiritualists get -60
- Xenophile Fallen Empire is sad, since you cast off your *lovely* mortal form. -20
- Guardians of the AI and Militarists, surprisingly, don't care. Probably.
So far, I am playing an empire with re-election each 10 years, and the first guy to get elected (first after the starting one) is still the leader.

Re: Paradox Grand Strat meets Sci-Fi 4X; Boners Explode
I usually create two versions of every ship class, one with shorter range guns and one with longer range missiles/cannons. Last game I created a third version for battleships, and equipped those with railguns. I also invest a lot into buildings, space port upgrades, research and (since the 1.5 patch) traditions that boost my naval capacity and its power. Personally I prefer to play religious empires that excel at the assimilation and integration of conquered empires (spiritualism has a strong ethics attraction) rather than military power, so I need to invest extra to get my military up to speed, but in return my conquests give me less trouble.
Also keep your fleets in orbit around your planets when you don't need them, they consume considerably less power if you do. As long as you can support your fleets while they're idle, you can build up a power reserve, and then burn through that when you need to undock.
Finally, keep in mind that how many research points your research needs depends on the amount of pops in your empire. If you expand rapidly, your research is going to fall behind and you'll need to build more science labs and generate more research points to catch up.

Re: Paradox Grand Strat meets Sci-Fi 4X; Boners Explode
Don't colonise everything in sight, focus on colonising the best planets. At the start of the game, I break up my fleet into three singular ships and have them scout out the area. A good planet, for me, is a size 20 and I'll flat out refuse anything below size 15. Expand early, get your manufacturing and economy up ASAP and do your best to deny nearby empires access to resources (so if you see a patch of stars with high mineral content, frontier outpost it).Armhulen wrote:question: how do you get a good millitary, literally every time all other militarys are better than me, even the peaceful traders trump me
and they're also better TECH WISE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Next, start building corvettes all the way to your naval cap (doesn't matter if you don't have corvette docks, just do it). You should always try to keep a standing fleet that's ~2/3 of your naval cap to dissuade aggressive empires.
It's fine to use the auto-upgrade ship designer for early game but if you want to have the advantage - start designing ships manually and spec them to specifically counter your neighbour's ships.
A tech advantage won't help them a lot if you can drown them in bodies and your guns hurt them more than theirs do yours.

Re: Paradox Grand Strat meets Sci-Fi 4X; Boners Explode
Just abuse robots.
Get the ethic that let's you build robots from the start and then rush synthetics.
Get the synthetic evolution ascension perk and badabang you're a meme. Also whack ass divergence made my fanatic authoratarian materialistic empire into a fucking fanatic pacifist materialistic empire. The worst bit is I have the best fleet and the best technology but I literally can't do jack shit with it other than strong aiming other empires into a federation. And by strong arming I mean all my federation consists of people who are small and next to big neighbours and they need protection.
FUCK.

on the arrival shuttle, I saw the iconic toolbox on the ground. I clubbed myself in the head with it trying to figure out the controls.
Setting the tool box, now bloodied, back on the table; I went to heal myself with a medkit. I clubbed myself in the head with that too.
I've come a long ways from asking how to switch hands.

I´ve got the DLC and so far, I've found there to be essentially no difference
Civ 5 tradition stuff is nice I suppose, but it doesn't seem to actually do shit worth 20bux
