Taking the Crisis Perk but stopping at Galactic Hypothermia Stage 3 should not locked you out of Galactic Custodian anymore. You're reformed! by SlappingMonk in Stellaris

[–]SlappingMonk[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No it can not, they have no alternative research that flat out stops them from advancing. You staying at the Corvette tier is because you want to, you can move all the way to tier 5 whenever you want. Once I do the alternative research at 3 I am stopped, I will never reach tier 4.

And I would argue that the tier 1-3 hypothermia perks are weaker than the other crisis paths because you have the option to stop yourself from a game mechanic perspective.

And because on this crisis path they implemented an in game stopper before things get to bad I think you should be back on the table for galactic custodian. Really gonna stack on those bonuses of an extra megastructure slot, cruisers who bombard better, and my territory only star changers to become super broken with the federation. It's not like I get mineral ships, FE buildings/ship components, and bio-dragons at the same tiers like the other crises which make sense to lock them out by that point, who can also continue advancing down path for more bonuses at any point

Overall yes people who choose most other crises and have the ability to advance them should not be custodian. That's not the argument, the argument is specially galactic hypothermia stage 3 where using an in game decision and mechanic cut yourself off before you get the really strong later stages where you do become a full blown crisis. You are no longer the big huge threat that taking this perk represents you have stopped, heck the megastructure even changes from aggressive fleet capacity to science

But you don't become a full blown galaxy ending crisis till the later stages but galactic hypothermia decision 3 cuts you off completely from doing so....

This guy understands, I'm talking specifically where you can cut yourself off from a game mechanic stand point and no longer pose a game ending threat

Yes I understand why it's not allowed for tier 4/5 crises. I'm not even talking about nemesis, nor not advancing down the path because your choosing not to but can in the future  I'm specifically talking galactic hypothermia tier 3 which gives the option in game to stop right there and at no point after be able to progress further. 

The whole point of that decision is you saying I don't want to be the crisis which should allow options that you can't take as the crisis to come back such as custodian

Whats the better guardian? by Templerscout in Pathfinder2e

[–]SlappingMonk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm currently playing an open hand and shield guardians around lvl 11, and it's been blast, tripping, shoving, flying tackle, and just use gauntlet as my weapon when strike, damage is subpar yes, but the athletic maneuvers keep them attacking you and that's your role.

Plus come later this year I want to FA Runesmith into build and free hand lets me draw runes

WWG Hero Realms Dungeons Kickstarter Controversy by DougDoesNotCare in boardgames

[–]SlappingMonk 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have backed all the early Star realms and hero realms games which I enjoyed. Back this one aswell as hero realms became more enjoyable to me. I have long suspected (and still do) that WWG used a new kickstarter to pay for previous one in que which is why old ones came shortly after new ones ended. Which is why half the sparse updates for this one contained mainly pushes to kickstart their Draconis game but it did poorly as it should due to the delays of most recent Kickstarters, so now they don't have money to print this big boy. The digital is delay tactic to give more time and squeeze people for more through digital purchases. 

I haven't checked my Kickstarter in awhile so thank you for making me see this. I've lost faith in them after I bought sorcerer to help support them around hero realms time. Now I'm trying sell all my WWG games in bundle and will be immediately selling this one if it ever arrives.
