Panzerbeard Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Hadn't heard of this before, I'll definitely be keeping an eye on it. I've never tried any of Paradox's grand strategy stuff, because it just looks terrifying (coming from Dwarf Fortress, nothing should intimidate me, but I've heard the learning curve for EU/CK is monstrous..) but the space theme might be enough to get me interested. Reminds me a lot of Endless Space, from the description, although the screenshots seem to have a bit of a Homeworld vibe.Looks good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerbonaut101 Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 but I've heard the learning curve for EU/CK is monstrous..)Borrowing an expression from EVE online: "EU and CK dont have learning curves, they have learning cliffs" Once you ascend that cliff face it's smooth sailing If your looking to get interested, EU4 is generally considered to be easier than CK2 and if your stuck there's always the wiki: http://www.eu4wiki.com/Europa_Universalis_4_WikiThere's also a few youtubers out there. You can learn quite a bit about how things work just from watching lets plays- https://www.youtube.com/user/quill18- https://www.youtube.com/user/arumba07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Rhodan Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I never thought they could make the Clausewitz engine look like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceception Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 (edited) Here's a review I found I can conquer the galaxy as a race of militaristic, greedy parrot people named the Toucan's. The Froot Loops Empire will conquer the galaxy as part of This Balanced Breakfast Alliance. The Toucan's leader, Sam, leads the way in his Frooty-class destroyer, KELLOGG'S Rice Krispy Killer. 10/10 Edited December 21, 2017 by Spaceception Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arugela Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 The game needs a lot of work. I guess it's a good start but they need to take it a lot farther! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSEP Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I have watched some video's about it and it is not my cup of tea. It is too Sci-Fi for me. It also looks like game you play for 12 hours, while you thought you played for 1 hour. It is really boring to watch because of it is slowness, just like most strategy games (in my opinion).

Naturally, I went to see if this person made a video, so I search 'Fruit loops Stellaris' and found this So I guess that is a yes. Again, sorry mods for the necroposting.

electricpants Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I actually play Stellaris kind of frequently, and do enjoy the game quite a bit (With a couple of mods of course!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
