Today is a very good day, first Mad Max and now Stellaris DLC [Steam] and a big patch. As usual they have a bunch of new stuff for free in the patch to go alongside a few new bits in a DLC.
The patch is rather large, so you may want to visit the official update post. It has a mix of everything, it really is a huge change to the game for the better.
The DLC adds in massive space creatures, new music, a new "War in Heaven" event that will engulf the galaxy in war and more.
I'm really looking forward to playing it again, I am hoping I will get a copy of the DLC soon to write up some thoughts on it, otherwise it will be a few weeks until I can purchase it personally.
I think it's easily the best space strategy game available on Linux right now. It's really fantastic to have Paradox support us so well now.

Man, I don't know how to take this comment. Is Linux so poor that it doesn't have any good strategy? This could be true, I don't know...
Or do you mean that Stellaries is actually good? Which... isn't the case at all.

The game is incredibly easy to learn too, which helps me get into it.

Quoting: ColomboI don't know if you're "missing" anything, I think it's just not the game for you. Like the other Paradox grand strategy games, the goal is not to "win" but to tell your own emergent story of your empire shaped by the choices you make.Quoting: liamdaweDifference of opinion, I love Stellaris, as do many people.

I am fan of paradox games. Please, read my post where I say what is wrong with Stellaris. There is a gem hidden in it, but it is plagued by many problems to the extent, that playing it is not fun any more.
The question is, Liam, how many hours have you played Stellaris?

Quoting: ColomboI am fan of paradox games.Really? I would have never guessed, because the list of complaints you have about Stellaris could apply to pretty much any of their games.

Haha, not at all. If you look at every possible feature in EU, from EU1 to EU4, Paradox was slowly, very slowly, reworking everything so it is more about management and less about hard work.
Look at merchants in EU series. First, you had to fill centre of trades with your merchants and outcompete enemy. Then, they realized that this isn't fun, so they made autosend button and logic behind it. In EU4, they added trade lanes, which change it drastically.
The same with buildings, the same with rebels, the same with most features.
If you look at Stellaris, you could see that hint of those features are there as well. You can build star fortress, you can assign planets to autonomous regions. But if you look at execution, its just sub par. In Post Mortem, devs wrote that they are still not sure if Stellaris should be classical 4X or grand strategy, and it can be seen on that game. While in 4X, you play total wars and so, in grand strategy, interaction with other entities plays more important role and conquering galaxy is less of a issue. And if you look at features of Stellaris, you can see that they have both, but none is working properly.
