This is a great summary of Stellaris, but I have one tiny nit. If you get the Apocalypse DLC you can build a Colossus which gives you a total war war goal that lets you immediately annex conquered systems without spending influence or having to wait for the war to end to gain control of the systems.
- yyyk 7y agoI didn't know that. I knew that Cololsi gave wargoals but didn't connect the dots that they are total war goals. Never bothered buying Apocalypse, because it didn't seem to offer that much I cared about. Perhaps that was a mistake on my part. I should have also mentioned that Stellaris has some DLCs which are de facto mandatory, which is just the way Paradox does things. Utopia is all but officially required. Apoc I guess I should have bought. Leviathans is IMHO very useful too. Not sure if anything else can be called mandatory?
- CDSlice 7y agoI actually think that Apocalypse is the weakest of the main DLCs. Other than the Cololsi there aren't really any big features in it. Synthetic Dawn is mandatory if you want to play as a machine empire (which are THE meta right now.) TBH other than Utopia all the "big" Stellaris DLCs have felt rather lackluster to me. I'd much rather have Distant Stars or Ancient Relics or even the Lithoids species pack than Apocalypse or Megacorp. Of course I've bought them all except for the Humaniods pack anyway on sale because I absolutely love Stellaris and have put a massive amount of time into it. Even with all of its flaws and quirks it and KSP are still my favorite PC games.
