Fun relaxing game to play. Great alternative to FPS games when you want to mix it up. Good mechanics and story line.

A good real time strategy game. Capture Mines/Oil to earn resources to build cool steam punk mechs.

All Empires Fall STELLARIS… and this newest update should spark the uprising!

The sadistic imperialistic impulses of Paradox Interactive; the publisher, to meddle in the core function of their games is as inevitable as the biological need to defecate itself. They have now broke the very balance and natural order that made this game fun.

Why add governor leader slots for all planets; it use to be sectors had a governor you'd appoint who ruled over multiple planets and still is, but now you are penalized for employing leaders for those planets which leads to larger numbers of open leader slots? So, if you employ too many leaders they will not earn experience and the upkeep is a lot more expensive. Scientists also count as leaders, so if you deploy many science vessels to assist in planetary research to bolster tech research or explore the galaxy, you again now face a pretty steep penalty.

Not cool.... Not fun.

I have a game going that is in the late stages. My empire is wealthy and yet I can only employ 8 leaders. This number 8 is for all governors, scientists, admirals, and generals. So a late stage civilization that has over 40 planets and over 10 sectors and with huge armies and fleets can not afford to hire a leader for every position. And on top of that they added a leader position for each individual planet. Again I have in the late game over 40 planets and I am limited to 8 leaders. What a crappy thing to do to your game.

It takes time to develop the skills to survive and then thrive in this game. That being said the engine is solid and simple to control.

Tedious Resource Collection and incomplete code makes this game not something I would recommend. Tech trees that are used to more accurately control the lander really annoyed me. What a disappointment.
