Now everybody is getting up in my business for exterminating a species of fucking mollusks. Fucking hell.

Now that's probably close to the truth. Roberts said we're not getting slaves.

No, I am talking about a real game you can buy and download from Steam to play right now.

We should setup a Stellaris night where we play a game at fast pace for like two to three hours at a time. We should be able to get to the end game in a few months like that. Stallaris is still not so expensive with all the expansions that people can't just buy them all upfront. No way we can really do this for CKII now unless people have been buying all those expansions over the past five years.

I’d totally do this with EU4.

I could be talked into Stellaris, if several of us do it. But we should totally use the New Horizons mod. :)

I don't play EU4 or the WW2 one. Most people play either CKII or Stellaris.

The advantage of Stellaris is that it's not so expensive for people to get a few of the DLCs and catch up.

CKII would be awesome now with the huge map, but it really only works for people who have played for years. There is WAY too much in that game now to quickly catch up. Those days of playing in Spain or Ireland to get it all down are long gone.

Also, Stellaris is a 4X game, which most people seem to enjoy.

Made it to mid-game with my machine civilization.

I have my left flank defended by only two star systems and am slowly sweeping the galaxy in the spinward direction.


My empire is the black one with the black sun logo.
