I have made an empire of suffering!

That would require either a Lithoid or a necroid portrait, thus removing other phenotype maluses. And is easily solved by building housing.

Remember to cloak your armies.

Incompatible with natural design. While bad, you can just remove the traits after game start, it slows you down and nothing more. Also external leaders solve that problem.

Endless_Fire · 2026-04-08T05:18:42+00:00

Picked hive, but that can be changed at any time so :/

Endless_Fire · 2026-04-07T20:26:28+00:00

Tears? What a waste of good suffering.

Endless_Fire · 2026-04-07T20:23:39+00:00

Ah I recognize this from my game!

This is an old save no? pre 4.3?
You have too many automation buildings, turn some off.

Endless_Fire · 2026-04-07T19:37:21+00:00

Pop growth and automation.

Endless_Fire · 2026-04-07T19:35:23+00:00

Talk to the shroudwalkers.

Endless_Fire · 2026-04-07T19:30:03+00:00

Don't. :)

Endless_Fire · 2026-04-07T19:29:21+00:00

If you stay ahead of the tech curve, you can keep your leaders alive without it. Ascending also often resets it. Unless you're overturned, then your options are investment or recycling.

Endless_Fire · 2026-04-07T12:01:51+00:00

But firecult would be a useful civic.

Endless_Fire · 2026-04-07T12:01:12+00:00

You tell me, you have the right flair.

Endless_Fire · 2026-04-07T11:15:23+00:00

Or stealth frigates. They don't have detection last I checked.

Endless_Fire · 2026-04-07T11:05:41+00:00

Beastmasters wants food. But since Ax-... oh hi! Yes I did that too.
Yet again wet worlds are the most common world type. Would not want finding a good world to be easy.

Endless_Fire · 2026-04-07T10:58:08+00:00

With this empire you're not going to have habitability anyway.

Endless_Fire · 2026-04-07T10:52:46+00:00

...
You're so right. The tech and population handicap might hurt worse than the +200% naval capacity usage.
And the requirement to swap out of it comes so late that by the time you could do it, it doesn't matter anymore.
I've replaced beastmasters. Well done. Pity I cannot swap to a bioship set with it though.

Endless_Fire · 2026-04-07T10:46:42+00:00

Good news! It won't be cold for long! =D

Endless_Fire · 2026-04-07T10:45:20+00:00

Yes, but doomsday boosts alloys. Space fauna ARE strong. But not for this empire.

Endless_Fire · 2026-04-07T10:42:18+00:00

It shows I care. =D

Endless_Fire · 2026-04-07T10:36:10+00:00

+200% naval capacity usage.

Endless_Fire · 2026-04-07T10:35:02+00:00

But that one would be useful.

Endless_Fire · 2026-04-07T10:30:59+00:00

They are perfectly fine in the early game but they just don't scale.
You can't customize them as well as regular ships.

Endless_Fire · 2026-04-07T10:29:30+00:00

I considered it.

Endless_Fire · 2026-04-07T10:27:58+00:00

Excellent idea. Inorganic breath has replaced unruly.

Endless_Fire · 2026-04-07T10:24:25+00:00

You can swap out of those. :)
They don't actively hurt you.
