[Bralia]

Who is the next op, was that agreed on at some point, i cant remember, but i wish to mock them.

"Agreed on". I am the next thread leader. I am the future. It is inevitable.

[Impaled Nazarene]

I just want someone new...

Indentured servitude is now an option if, for some crazy reason, you want to be a little nicer to your slaves in Stellaris. Although the more important bit, that's not quite communicable in Dev Diary form is that they're diligently working on the AI and performance right now. And that's literally all they have to say right now, you don't have to go visit the DD unless you think I'm lying to you. And to that accusation I ask, how fucking DARE you!?

Slaves can have a little political power. As a treat.

I've never played a slaver empire in Stellaris, because I usually see a huge wave of uprisings in neighbouring slaver empires at around the midgame stage. I prefer some internal stability as usually I have enough external threats to worry about, without throwing huge slave rebellions in my empire into the mix too.

[Bralia]

My heart aches, I could have made this picture the DD link if I had just read a bit more of the thread:

[Bralia]

If anyone was ever wondering how absolutely insufferable Arumba is, I literally just popped into his Twitch stream for 5 seconds to find that he's still being an absolute bitch about not being invited to the big Polish LAN party thing from two months ago.

If school wasn't eating into my game time, I'd do it.

When you just need to tie your employees to their desks.

Anyone else having trouble loading up Steam games today?

Anyone else having trouble loading up Steam games today?

I've only used Team Fortress 2 on Steam today, haven't tried anything else.

In version 1, there was a point at which you could stack traits and civics to a point where slavery gave a net 10% bonus to happines, meaning enslavement was actually a way to counter unhappiness. I'm still mad they patched that out.

Decided to play Poland in Hoi4 for no reason. This is what happened after a few hours

[Purpelia]

How the hell did you do that without cheating?

[Dylar]

Help from the Allies mostly, but I still managed to get most of the war score.

[Purpelia]

You are a better player than I. All I ever managed to do was survive until Germany decided to steamroll me.

I mean the war with Germany was just luck. Once the Czechs decided to refuse handing over the Sudetenland and join the Allies I saw my chance to grab Konigsberg. I doubt I could ever do the same if the Czechs gave them the Sudetenland

Random question. I just managed to found a holy order, only they have pitifully few troops. Like 87. What gives? How do I make them grow?

[Renoa]

The fact that I've had at least one epidemic in my demesne for about 24 years of the 27 years I've been playing this particular save is totally cool and definitely doesn't want to make me throw my computer monitor through the window. Totally cool.

It could be worse I guess. I could be playing in England.

Holy Orders in particular get more powerful when they have more holdings, when their religion's moral authority is high.
