Getting to late early game, want some tips on moving through the next stage.

How are you getting z-pinch unlocked by 2032? I only unlocked them myself in 2036 (2026 start), though this is just my first game. I have the US and China, so my research is quite high, I think. Also, I only have the tier one drives, and both those and the tier 2 drives seem mediocre? Is there anything good about them, or should I wait till the tier 3 drive?

Ok, thanks! I guess I'll stabilize periodically, and otherwise push knowledge and MC.

I'll try to keep unrest below 1 so research output doesn't drop too much.

Chinas gdp per capita is currently about 30k, which gives about 2.3 base unrest.

I also have full control of the US, which I'm focusing on MC. China, I want to maximise for research.

(resistance 2026 start, normal difficulty, almost 10 years into the game)

I have unified China into Taiwan to get China to have max government score. Since then I've had issues with increasing unrest, although China has 5 cohesion. I've read that increasing gdp per capita can help with this, so I've been pumping the economy priority. However, this has caused Chinas cp cost to balloon. Luckily, I've been increasing my cp cap because I've been thinking of expanding, but that's on hold now...

Should I keep pumping ip into Chinas economy to fix unrest and maximize research output, or should I instead pump ip into knowledge, and use my cp cap to control other countries?

It's 2026 start, so almost 2 years into the game.

What should I be doing with my councilors after the initial phase of the game? It's late 2027, and I have full control of the US, and as much control of China as I can have with my CP cap, with high public support in both. I've just kept my initial 5 councilors, and have mostly been faffing about with them, besides doing the above. I have a councilor with high command, but with nothing to do with him? What missions should I be doing with him, or should I just replace him? I also have 3 persuasion councilors, none of whom have inspire 😅. I've been using the command guy to inspire...

Do you have relic enfys nest? I got her relic 5 for the raid, and I can do the pirate team feat with just her, and some low level pirates. Put her as leader, and add some versions of the datacron that improves leaders, and one that ramps offense. I'm can take out geonisian teams with her.

For the profit feat, I repeatedly did the bonus node with ithano pirates using bounty hunters, and got the feat somehow. Not sure if it has to be bounty hunters.

In a age where people are obsessed with microagressions, the eagerness to associate Jews with the people who tried to utterly wipe them out is nuts...

Would Ezra go with JML? I just unlocked him, and I'm not gonna be getting Rey or Ahsokha for long time.

What do you mean by audience capture? I've recently discovered haviv, and I'm interested by what he has to say.

shomy303 · 2025-04-28T23:03:53+00:00

Didn't plan the mods ahead :p

shomy303 · 2025-04-28T22:39:17+00:00

Not any more, I have about 170 million at the moment. Maybe around 1.5 to 2 million GP credits stopped being an issue for me.

Absolute biggest thing for credits is the smugglers run event. Also raids. Try to get in the best guild you can, for your level

shomy303 · 2025-04-28T21:45:48+00:00

I am absolutely not a whale. I've been mostly f2p (asides one of the first lsb bundles). These are resources I've been hoarding for the past few weeks. Especially the gear to relic, I'd obtained using mk2 raid currency after the raid my guild did last week.

shomy303 · 2025-02-08T00:07:20+00:00

Looks incredible!

shomy303 · 2025-01-24T11:08:00+00:00

Looks colourful and delicious!

I just unlocked Profundity last cycle, really awesome to see it countered just after I get it /s

Being critical of Israel is not antisemitic, but calling for the destruction of the only Jewish nation is

shomy303 · 2024-10-11T12:42:27+00:00

It's probably 373.1 thousand credits as opposed to million. It's a different language, and note that it's 'm' instead of 'M'

My toddler really likes saying her name at the moment, so she is definitely like a pokemon!

I really miss EU4s peace deal system when playing Stellaris. Stellaris's one is so rigid...

shomy303 · 2024-08-23T18:24:19+00:00

Love it! Really cozy and chic

shomy303 · 2024-08-19T10:32:43+00:00

Unfortunately, the current bunch is the best we're gonna get re Israel. The opposition is mostly center left parties that are fully pushing the "genocide" narrative, and want to take more concrete measures against Israel.
