I used to play it, it was okay. It's a shame it got boring quickly; there wasn't enough content or events. Maybe they've added more now, of course.

Overall, the cartoon is more entertaining. But there isn't much non-military content, and in this regard, the game falls far short of King's Bounty 2.

Of the Ascension branches, the strongest one is the best.

Choose the Ascension branch based on what is "strong" against a weak AI, not based on role-playing or personal preferences.

and I also see a lot of micromanagement, which isn't exactly a good thing.

When there are more than 5 planets, they'll force you to introduce sectors, and the sectors will be self-governing. True, their self-governance isn't perfect; sometimes you have to temporarily remove individual planets from the sector and do something in them (improve the administration building, for example), but overall, the AI handles it.

I hope this game doesn’t have rebellions.

It used to be five, but now it's more like 7-9. It depends on whether you play as a pacifist. It could even be 11 if you take the corresponding perk.

True, their self-governance isn't perfect; sometimes you have to temporarily remove individual planets from the sector and do something in them (improve the administration building, for example), but overall, the AI handles it.

The sector AI has improved after the patch, but it still sometimes does strange things. For example, it builds a regular power plant on a beta-rock.

I hope this game doesn't have rebellions.

It has rebellions. Sometimes, a planet can quietly break away from your control and join another empire if they have similar political views.

True, their self-governance isn't perfect.

As far as I remember, before the patches, the "Brukvoed" considered growing "brukva" (a type of turnip) as the most important goal, even though food wasn't yet distributed throughout the entire empire.

I hope this game doesn't have rebellions.

They are much better here than in StarCraft 2. Rebellions here depend on the population's worldview, not on pure randomness. So, if you know that someone doesn't share your ethics, just genocide them.

So, if you know that someone doesn't share your ethical views, just commit genocide against them.

In version 1.5, you can't do that. Now, you can't commit genocide against individual pops; you can only commit genocide against an entire species. Moreover, genocide is now only available to xenophobes and the Hivemind, although you can still purge populations even as an authoritarian empire. However, even without genocide, there aren't many problems with discontent, as it's easy to maintain at least a medium level of faction morale.

So, this is what I ended up doing. I wanted to draw today, but no, I launched Stellaris again. What a habit.

It won't work like that in 1.5. Now you can't commit genocide against individual species; you can only commit genocide against an entire species.

I gave myself away by admitting that I didn't actually commit genocide against anyone, I just act tough online. But overall, in my opinion, this is a step backward.

Moreover, genocide is now only available to xenophobes and the Hive Mind, although you can still displace species even as an authoritarian empire.

A debatable restriction (like all the others regarding ethics), but not without merit (like all the others).

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I felt like creating a thread: "Whose ass would you genocide?"

I don't disagree.

A controversial limitation (like all the others regarding ethics).

That's true. Although it still doesn't quite reach the level of egalitarians who are unable to grant equal rights to AI (because it is now unique to materialists).

Although it still falls short of egalitarianism, which is incapable of granting equal rights to AI (because this is now unique to materialists).

That's exactly what I was thinking when I wrote that. But it can be explained: if materialism is not the overarching ethics, then the government is tolerant of religions and other beliefs. Thus, the government is essentially saying, "yes, we don't deny that religions can be right." And since religious people believe that the damned synthetics have no soul, it follows that they cannot be granted equal rights. I may have explained it a bit clumsily, but I hope the idea is clear.
