So, if I haven't played Stellaris, EU4, or CK2, am I still on the council, but am not granted the rank of Master?

7 months until Titans.
With >400 fleet capacity I should be able to field three.
And as soon as I get Titans, I'm taking the Colossus ascension perk.

Had about enough of these motherfucking xenos in my motherfucking galaxy.

I concur with this assessment, tho my fleet cap is considerably smaller.

My way of playing is something like this.
1. download game and hope settings are good
2. play a nation that i'm familiar with (usually Prussia/Germany) on the easiest difficulty
3. begin playing and try to bumble my way through a few years
4. fail miserably
5. get a tad bit better from experience or guides
6. play a few easiest campaigns as varying nations
7. download mods that improve the game in small ways (which disables achievements)
8. Play improved vanilla game
9. download major mods like RT56 and Kaiserreich
10. play however i want but since even the smallest mods are enabled achievements are disabled.

It happens, Vanilla Ironman is all well and good, but disabling them entirely is not terrible.

Playing ironman is... frustrating.. but no where near as bad as XCOM ironman. Whats that, wanting to move your guy to the low wall on the roof? Nah he jumps off and runs into the open in front of a full unit of aliens with no cover because the ui freaked out and shifted the mouse cursor cuz fuck you commander.

Exactly! Thats why ironman mode in xcom is evil.

Stellaris its not too bad, and i like going into it every now and then for achievements, but im going to just play some regular ones now with a few mods.
