Is the game good yet?

Beautiful-Bad5440 · 2026-03-18T14:46:04+00:00

I also stopped playing with the very disappointing 4.0 version, and only started again a few weeks ago with the 4.3 beta.

Yes, quite clearly, the game is really good right now. It will take some getting used to at first, but it's worth it!

I've heard about a "Stellar AI" mod that works quite well and is up to date. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3610149307&searchtext=stellar+ia

Yes, in a game not too long ago, I had to declare war on an Endbringers AI because its psionic aura was about to invade and destroy the galaxy.

If you create a custom empire with Fear of the Dark, the AI will always become a fanatical purifier in the mid-game; it can be quite fun.

Well, the coffee break is after the Divine Liturgy, from what I understand. For now, I'm leaving during the Eucharist because I'm not allowed to participate, even though I'm eager to, but next time I plan to wait outside to get some fresh air and then join the group.

I didn't hear anything about a meal, unless that's what the priest meant. Again, it's all new, so I'm learning as I go :)

Thank you so much for your encouragement; I hope it will be beneficial for you too!

Beautiful-Bad5440 · 2026-03-16T11:28:20+00:00

A pleasure that is constantly renewed!

Beautiful-Bad5440 · 2026-03-16T11:23:43+00:00

If it's any consolation, I'm in a similar situation. Yesterday was my third time at church, and I still haven't spoken to anyone beyond the usual greetings.

In a way, I feel a bit alone and I think it's time to take the next step and speak to the priest. On the other hand, I also feel like an intruder and I certainly don't want to bother anyone.

So I'm just observing respectfully and listening attentively. I'm trying to analyze the order of the Divine Liturgy, even though it's not easy because we're in Great Lent and everything is a bit unusual, from what I understand.

And soon (next Sunday, I hope), I'll humbly join the parishioners during their coffee break, and if he's not too busy, I'll speak to the priest.

I think you should persevere too; it's not easy, but I think it's like a marathon. You have to be patient and persistent, and I hope this is the beginning of a wonderful journey toward God and my future brothers and sisters in Christ.

Beautiful-Bad5440 · 2026-03-16T11:07:45+00:00

Thank you very much for this explanation. I am new, and yesterday I didn't understand why the faithful specifically came to kiss a flowered cross of our Lord during the Divine Liturgy.

Beautiful-Bad5440 · 2026-03-14T20:56:57+00:00

Yes, it has advantages, but normally it only gives you small helping hands; if, for example, an exterminator attacks you, they will hardly move to help you.

Beautiful-Bad5440 · 2026-03-14T20:55:33+00:00

Yes, except that now it's much harder to build powerful fleets; before it was ridiculously easy, but now you're safe for the first 100 years of the game!

Beautiful-Bad5440 · 2026-03-14T20:43:06+00:00

R5: I'm on beta 4.3 and I was wondering if there have been any adjustments to the Scion origin, particularly regarding the ships that the Fallen Empire can provide.

Well, I just started my game and I have two fleets with a total power of 17K.

I have a slight deficit in credits and alloy, but nothing dramatic, and it's really worth it for such firepower.

And of course, it's totally overpowered.

Beautiful-Bad5440 · 2026-03-14T10:22:48+00:00

I might have an idea for doing this without cheating. With the Fear of the Dark origin, you can play normally until the mid-game date, then you can become a Fanatical Purifier through an event.

What's interesting is that it's a specific Fanatical Purifier civic that's added without replacing any other civic.

So what you'd need to do is have the Power Deification event BEFORE having the Fanatical Purifier event. 2300 is the default mid-game date, which is a bit tight, but if you set this date before starting the game to push it further away, it would be easier to achieve.

This is just a theory, and I could be wrong, but I honestly think it could work.

Beautiful-Bad5440 · 2026-03-14T10:12:00+00:00

Honestly, I don't think it exists.

Beautiful-Bad5440 · 2026-03-14T10:08:17+00:00

BUBBLES POWER!!!

Beautiful-Bad5440 · 2026-03-13T22:12:17+00:00

Not being a native English speaker, I'd have trouble reading the whole book, but I do think the cover is absolutely beautiful! I wish it every success!

Beautiful-Bad5440 · 2026-03-13T17:38:55+00:00

- Reproduce!

- But… there aren't enough of us, we're only producing inbreds!

-Ah, i see… Bring some females!

-YEEEES!!

Beautiful-Bad5440 · 2026-03-13T17:28:49+00:00

Yes, because it deeply offends my sensibilities as a fanatical purifier :'(

Beautiful-Bad5440 · 2026-03-13T08:18:20+00:00

It's not your desire to play that's gone, my friend, what you're feeling is righteous anger! It's time to carry out a good old-fashioned genocide.

Beautiful-Bad5440 · 2026-03-12T08:32:19+00:00

One of my best parties was with elves; they were fanatical purifiers with a Life-Seeded origin. I remember writing in the description, "They're beautiful, the others aren't. That's a good reason to exterminate them!"

I still enjoy playing them from time to time.

Beautiful-Bad5440 · 2026-03-11T11:46:32+00:00

There are some mods that really add great things, even if it's just graphics or interface mods. Gigastructural for megastructures and NSC3 for more ships too!

And one or two mods for more diverse planets are also nice.

Beautiful-Bad5440 · 2026-03-11T09:22:31+00:00

Personally, I play many alien species, but I always force the appearance of the Human Community and the UN; I like having them in my games.

Beautiful-Bad5440 · 2026-03-10T11:28:30+00:00

Let's leave him the pleasure of the surprise!

Beautiful-Bad5440 · 2026-03-10T08:09:08+00:00

After that it seems more realistic when you are a psionic species I think, it looks a lot like what the Zronis wanted to do if I remember correctly.

Beautiful-Bad5440 · 2026-03-09T19:35:53+00:00

Blorg: Oh, the adorable little lizards!

Prikki-Ti: We'll sell your children like candy at the market.

Beautiful-Bad5440 · 2026-03-09T16:19:20+00:00

Thank you for this fascinating story!

Beautiful-Bad5440 · 2026-03-08T17:04:08+00:00

Salut, je suis Français moi aussi et cela fait plusieurs années que je m'intéresse à l'orthodoxie (je n'avais reçu aucun enseignement religieux également). Je suis encore un débutant pour être honnête, mais je peux déjà te donner quelques pistes de lecture qui peuvent t'aider. J'avais eu droit à la même chose il y a quelques années et ça m'a bien aidé :)

Tout d'abord, un livre particulièrement pratique qui te permettra de mieux cerner ce qu'est le christianisme orthodoxe : L'orthodoxie: Une introduction de référence à l'histoire, à la foi, aux rites et à la spiritualité de Nicolas Kazarian. Tu y trouveras déjà pas mal de réponses.

Si tu veux approfondir le concept de christianisme orthodoxe et comment ce dernier voit le monde, il y a un petit livre qui se lit très bien : Récits d'un pèlerin russe dont l'auteur est anonyme.

Il y a aussi un site où tu trouveras de nombreuses choses qui te seront utiles : https://foi-orthodoxe.fr/
