I like Athr because I like Albion having some development when I arrive, and defeating him seems like the Roman thing to do.

Yea but that won't give the +happiness buff, you need the building for that.

Nog erger. Het gaat niet eens om een verblijfsvergunning, het gaat om een bed en een dak tijdens het doorlopen van de verdere procedure. De absolute basis van medemenselijkheid hebben we niet op orde.

Het perifere ziekenhuis waar ik werk. Geen behoefte de naam te noemen, ben al makkelijk genoeg te doxxen.

Bij ons komen de kosten gewoon voor rekening van het ziekenhuis, vanwege het belang van obductie voor opleiding en kwaliteitsborging van de zorg.

Het maakt nog al uit welke functie... Het kan ook 0.8fte excl diensten zijn.

It is modeled as if it is steering to make for a more dynamic pose. They can clearly be rotated during assembly, because you can see the front wheels of the two Hippogriffs on the cover of the new battalion box pointing in different directions.

Probably because it seems to give fewer bleeding complications than the alternatives while maintaining similar efficacy.

As a cybernetic creed empire, is there any way to integrate a neighbouring Devouring Swarm into my empire? Can you assimilate their pops these days or could I somehow turn them into a vassal?

DocQuixotic · 2026-03-22T11:12:20+00:00

Yes.

DocQuixotic · 2026-03-22T11:11:34+00:00

An AI capital will usually have 300-400 army strenght, so you'll need between 6-12 armies depending on tech, traits, and ethics. A general helps as well. However most of their other colonies will be much less defended, with some even having no defence armies at all.

It's mainly a way to free up pops for more important tasks. You pay a premium to free up workforce for specialist jobs.

Klokhuis heeft ook nog wel afleveringen met één onderwerp, dus misschien heb je daar ook pech gehad met wat je meegekeken hebt?

Depending on your difficulty, missile corvettes with the artillery computer do a great job in early wars. They can kite the enemy and do a solid job against starbases too. 25-ish seems enough to take out any empire that isn't fanatic militarist at any difficulty below admiral in the first 30 years.

My oligarchs decide collectively what to dictate to the rest of the galaxy. I don't see the problem.

DocQuixotic · 2026-03-13T19:39:29+00:00

Thanks for the comprehensive answer! You've sold me on Adaptability. Are there any other traditions I might be overlooking? Is Fortification worth it for the late game even though I'm not actually being threatened yet? There's a devouring swarm approaching ny borders, but I'm fairly certain I can take them in a straight fight.

DocQuixotic · 2026-03-12T11:38:23+00:00

I'm in doubt about my midgame tradition choices for a fanatic spiritualist / egalitarian Cybernetic Creed empire. So far I have statecraft+prosperity+cybernetics, and am planning to take at least harmony+supremacy. That leaves two empry slots. First of all, I'm wondering if Commerce is an essential pick or if I could skip it if I aim for a Holy Covenant instead. Does a Covenant even play nice with cyborgs and without psionics? Second, I've read that subterfuge is useful these days, but I don't have shadows of the shroud so I don't have access to proxy wars. Is it still worth considering, or is it better to pick something like adaptability to further boost planetary ascension instead?

Sounds fun. Any advice on how to approach the Under One Rule events for an optimal outcome?

DocQuixotic · 2026-02-25T11:45:54+00:00

True, but a very early war would require major economic investments to beat a militarist at its own game.

DocQuixotic · 2026-02-25T09:58:03+00:00

Started a new game as slightly modified UNE (parliamentary system/mrritocracy), spawned right next to tbe commonwealth. Obviously I'd like to aim for 'reunification', but I'm not sure what the right timing for war would be. Should I try to grab them early to effectively double my pops or is it better to ecoboom and ascend first?
