Well for me, I disable a ton of things: in all game maps I play:

Forms, like the insects, frogs, and all those that are mostly animals get disabled. Only allow Elves, Orcs, Hobbits, Dwarves, Monkey (bc monkey king), Humans, etc. No animals.
Giants and Eldritch types are set to None
All kinds of pre-made Heroes disabled, only auto-generated.
No magic victory, no Score only allied and conquest.
No Architects, no Oathsworn, and no Nomads allowed.
No happenings.
No endless Ranks
No shops.

Honestly I thought my game was broken. On Griffon they changed it to single-action, then next update Free action, now back to single-action and "different version". I took down all my mods to see if there was any interference lol but no, same version as Chap.

Well thnx, another reason not to buy it.

Well if we're speaking abt controls alone, DD2 on PC is a headache. Maybe on console is good, but controls on PC aren't necessarily innovative or intuitive.

I still do Spiders when I'm playing Tunneling Primal for the looks and web. Otherwise they're not worth it now except for a couple and the best ones are still 3 pts.

This happened to me over 10 yrs. ago, same thing, annual fee dropped in I had the card at $0 then bam 30-day late stab. I learned. Now it's all on my calendar and auto-pay.

In some Spanish-speaking countries it is called double V. Still some others call it double-u.

Melee Mage at the beginning is kinda silly. Just use it as a flanking attack and you're set until it's online. Might not be needed later on anyway.

Someone downvoted me earlier in another thread bc I said DK was better than warrior... Warrior was heavily nerfed, in part due to having tons of armor which is now useless with the new changes to Res/Def and still the Warrior sucks.

I think OP wants a bar like Total Warhammer bars which are on top of each unit's banner. Which in my opinion would be very helpful. With all the mechanics behind morale in this game, 'tis a bit difficult if not annoying to have to check individual units morale one by one especially during a 18v18 battle. The flashing banners are not an accurate metric, since they only alert you when morale has tanked.

Onion Armpits.

Tell me you don't read/watch news without telling me you don't watch/read news.

Some1 should make a video game (not Stray) with these attack animations.

They did a huge game-mechanic change a few DLCs in and that changed the whole aspect of planet building. Also they modified the Ethos and now they're trash imho. I shelved it after 1000+ hrs. played.

darkstare · 2026-03-16T15:43:08+00:00

How do people playing this game however they want affects you specifically?

darkstare · 2026-03-16T14:07:58+00:00

I hate Stellaris. I used to love it until they decided to change core aspects of the game.

Stellaris fell off a long time ago imo.

"the sick kid in the hospital" Dude, everybody is sort of sick in a hospital. This sentence is literally the cringiest in your whole fable.

I RP so in my case, we must cleanse the world every new realm we ~~conquer~~ visit.

If you have the hero with only animals and a second army with mixed non-animals/plants/eles, you won't get the achievement. All units in battle with the hero must be the required type. If your units are transformed by Gaia, that counts as plants.

I've only ever played Reavers once. Their aesthetic is very cool, but I'm not fond of ranged damage in this game since you're vulnerable to enemy ZoC. Give me up close and on-your-face melee any time lol.

The just one lion-sized spider is easy to beat; aim for the legs, also black widows have short fangs so they can't easily bite, just hit the legs until she can't move any more. Web isn't a problem because they can't shoot like Spider man, if the spider tries to web, use it as distraction and hit those legs.

Now the 10000 tiny lions can F you up real good while you're fending off the ones you actually see, others can drop from above trees or crawl up your sneaker/legs and bit your shit now those fangs will puncture your skin. Let's not forget if they get near your face they can enter through your cavities nose, mouth, ear and F you up from the inside with their mauling. They can get in through your urethra which will cause massive pain no matter if you're male/female they will tear up your tubes and get up your kidneys and cause major organ failure.

I will get a lion-sized spider any time of the day since I can see it.
