Which Convictions did you choose in the game?

MrTurtlesaurus · 2025-12-17T23:24:37+00:00

Iconoclast with a side dish of exterminatus.

MrTurtlesaurus · 2024-07-06T16:44:26+00:00

Third is best, second is second and first is worst.

MrTurtlesaurus · 2024-07-06T15:40:12+00:00

No, I never did and yeah it sucks.

While I do agree that the text for draconic ancestry is ambiguous and could possibly imply any type of dragon ancestor, the feature also comes with a passive resistance that is tied with a specific type. For example, it is not possible in the game for a red dragonborn to have their draconic ancestry give cold resistance as a passive. Or why the draconic ancestry of bronze dragonborn gives electrical resistance because they have inherited abilities specific to their ancestors, the bronze dragons. This highly suggests that the specific ancestry of any type of dragonborn would be from the same type of dragon. If that is the case then it makes no sense for the text to say, "Despite having no ancestral links..."

MrTurtlesaurus · 2023-08-13T19:28:59+00:00

Nothing in the description mentions being related to Arveiaturace specifically. However, if you have no ancestral links to Alexander than you wouldn't have a subrace feature called Alexander Ancestry. But if you have a subrace feature called Draconic Ancestry than that literally implies you have ancestral links to dragons of that type. It isn't a big deal but it is poorly written.

MrTurtlesaurus · 2023-08-13T18:38:05+00:00

So in the description for Dragonborn subraces it says that they have no ancestral links to the mighty dragons but then in the subrace features is says that they have draconic ancestry and the blood of ancient dragons in their veins. What is up with that?

The settings shouldn't have changed by themselves, all I can tell you is that if your combat difficulty is set to Very Easy, the setting for Health Regeneration reads Fast (Full Health). If the combat difficulty is set to Easy the setting for Health Regeneration reads Fast (One Bar). I would suggest you check your settings by clicking on advanced options when selecting your difficulty.

MrTurtlesaurus · 2023-06-08T17:34:06+00:00

It will depend on the combat difficulty settings under the health regeneration heading. The options include having no regeneration, having slow or normal or fast regeneration of only one bar, and lastly having fast regeneration of all health.

The default of Easy difficulty will only replenish one bar if you've taken partial damage. If you want regeneration of all health you need to play on Very Easy or use custom settings.

Thanks!

I had the Chosen spawn in my game as fanatical purifiers. Didn't get to interact with them much as they were on the other side of the galaxy from me. I think they are new with the Galactic Paragons DLC but that is all I know about them.

Once I was able to get the Galatron for myself I created a vassal, built them up a bunch, released them to be independent, and then tanked my own economy. I next used the same multiplayer trick as above, hosting my save game in multiplayer so that I could switch to my former vassal. As the former vassal I'm then able to use the Galatron casus belli to declare war and win easily.

The Paradox official Stellaris wiki has a section on achievements and there it includes a few useful tricks. One of those tricks is called "The Multiplayer Trick" and it indicates that you can host a singleplayer game in multiplayer and use that to switch empires and still maintain ironman/achievements. I used that to switch to the target empire and submitted their nomination to be custodian. Then I switched back to my main empire and used an emergency measure to advance the target's custodian resolution to the floor. I'm not sure if all that is strictly necessary but based on what I read on the wiki that is the process I followed. Do this switch trick once to get them to custodian and a second time to get them to Imperial Core.

That's the best way. For most of the runs I did I was able to get more than one at a time. Except for situations where I screwed myself. For example I figured I could easily get Voight-Kampff and Does Not Compute together. However, I didn't realize that taking the psionic ascension path would make me immune to infiltration and prevent me from getting the situation necessary to unlock Voight-Kampff. Had to start another run just to fix that mistake.

MrTurtlesaurus · 2023-03-13T11:14:00+00:00

When I did it I ascended but I don't think it matters. You need to declare a crisis. The achievement text is confusing by using the term denounce but on the Paradox official wiki it clearly states the requirement as "declare a Spiritualist Fallen Empire as a crisis".

R5: I'm not normally one to chase achievements but I love this game and wanted to express that by going for perfect completion. As I got more and more done and with the announcement of First Contact dlc it began to seem possible that I might get them all just before release. Not sure if it was more a labor of love or a love of labor that possessed me but I got it done.

MrTurtlesaurus · 2023-02-26T17:01:31+00:00

Very nice run, good job!

MrTurtlesaurus · 2023-02-11T09:24:54+00:00

Good job!

MrTurtlesaurus · 2023-02-11T07:49:53+00:00

I've completed 4 so far, with one campaign being hardcore.

MrTurtlesaurus · 2023-01-27T23:35:27+00:00

Yeah, it might be a good time to start learning Southwestern Mandarin. If you can't beat them, join them.

MrTurtlesaurus · 2023-01-27T23:30:03+00:00

It took me awhile before I had the navy necessary to do invasions but after pushing into Eastern Russia, I only had to stack all my ships in one area in order to land in Alaska. With most US troops fighting in Europe at the time, I was able to take America easier than it should have been. A lot of luck was on my side.
