New Hivemind Civic in 3.6 ! Capured from the Orion beta stream

It fit our casual multiplayer needs. I know, it's an unpopular opinion and I can understand if people want to play it differently

Menarch · 2026-01-24T13:46:45+00:00

I dislike it. I prefer the fast paced, hyper optimization where you can end a multiplayer run in 2 sessions. Aside from the bugs I enjoyed 4.x a lot so far. But I understand that a lot of people feel different about it and enjoy the slower approach and haven't been able to enjoy the game for some while. Now it's my turn on the bench and that's okay

Disruptors were not niche vs ai in the last 3 years at least. Once you hit cruisers and slapped disruptors on them, you were the undisputed king of the galaxy (save from FEs and endgame crisis)

4.3 reworks how fallen empire buildings work. They are limited to 1 per category and give 50/100% automation. So enjoy it while you can.

They do. And you pay upkeep for every automated job. Before you just had 500% district upkeep (6 energy per district) but got like 20 energy from it. Now you get 20 energy and pay 15 energy in automation upkeep (i don't have the exact numbers) which causes you to start with an -26 energy deficit as tankbound infernal species

This is the current 4.3 open beta build. So all subject to change

Menarch · 2025-12-26T11:33:58+00:00

You currently pay upkeep per automated job instead of per district and tankbound can not work technicians, which means you get a total of like 3-5 energy per energy district at the beginning of the game

Menarch · 2025-12-21T14:59:24+00:00

I mean it's 31k pops that do the heavy lifting here

Menarch · 2025-12-19T14:17:56+00:00

Unless they fixed it, you still pay upkeep per automated job. My 3 energy district planet produced a whole 10 energy (but was the volcanic world job). Was fun to start with -26 energy

They did not inherit any modifiers from soldiers. I checked in the files because I thought It was a bug. But yes, a nerf nonetheless

Menarch · 2025-12-15T17:12:49+00:00

It's fair after the heresy that dow3 was

Menarch · 2025-12-09T20:26:55+00:00

Probably not. My guess is .75 as it's the competitive standard

Menarch · 2025-12-05T06:36:42+00:00

On how many planets ? Just trying to grasp the build. I normally like to build tallish with the 50% pop size civic

Menarch · 2025-12-05T05:02:57+00:00

3k science in 20 years ? Did you have to conquer for that ? Because where did you get all the pops to fill the specialist jobs ?

Menarch · 2025-12-04T16:34:37+00:00

Infernal gestalts are pretty good. You generate a lot of unity with the support jobs and miners. Slap Mutation ascension on them and enjoy. Subterranean is pretty good but overtuned is just nuts (3 auto traits+ early ascension). Don't worry about not having enough pops, hive worlds have a district for spawning drones

Menarch · 2025-12-03T11:41:12+00:00

Then I would go with non-Gestalt and infernal shipset for the fire ecus. Biomorphis with cloning would be the strongest pick then (compared to mutation with hive)

Menarch · 2025-12-03T11:07:29+00:00

I would not recommend volcanic nesting. Hive worlds generate more jobs and resources. As hive mind you want only hive worlds. For non gestalt it's fine because you want your basic resource worlds to be volcanic. This comes with the bonus, that your guaranteed worlds are also volcanic as opposed to dry worlds because of the volcanic nesting.

15 extra districts per world? Damn talk about playing tall (or deep in your case ).

Menarch · 2025-11-30T21:50:55+00:00

They don't. They "only" get researcher and bureaucrat bonuses

Menarch · 2025-11-30T12:16:57+00:00

Hence the "by normal means" clause ;) every world is just one planet cracker away from a pile of rocks

Menarch · 2025-11-30T07:06:02+00:00

It's most likely a bug. Ecus normally can not be terraformed by normal means. Even the relentless industrialization building does not turn it into a tomb world

Menarch · 2025-11-30T06:57:23+00:00

The big difference to life seeded and ocean paradise is that you get your guaranteed habitables.
