It doesn't makes any sense. Now that they are finally delivering the Sova they retreat from linux? What do they thing is powering the Link. Windows ME?

Thoughts on 'Stellaris' with the 'Leviathans Story Pack' and latest patch, a better game that still needs work

The perspective of the game is the one of the ruler, not the general. That's why combat is "abstracted away". As a ruler you give order to your officials and they carry them on.
I for one I'm fine in sending fleets around and let them autonomously engage the enemy.

Than the game already has a good deal of micromanagement between the science chooser and ship builder. You can make design to counter specific threats but this is not really obvious for the new player, although I appreciate the idea that (random) different choices in tech and weapons can determine success or failure in war depending on the (random) choices made by your enemy.

Not entirely my kind of game. But it's a good chance to give Feral some cash after they ported so many pre-SteamOs games that I bought when I still had a windows partition.

No way I'll fund a game with no native support. I'll pass.

It's not that I just feel no compassion for Windows slaves. The thing is I'm amused every time they post their win10 update stories.

OMG. It's been like 5 minutes that I'm looking for info to make some sense out of this DLC teaser. Then I finally land on Paradox forums and I realize that it's called "plantoids" and not "planetoids". XD

I'm starting to think that Valve has a size problem. It's projects are to ambitious for the limited manpower they have.

My last game was pretty heavy.

I spawned in a galaxy arm with birdmen on the right and a lot of expansion space on the left.

I thought I was in the perfect spot and I started expanding.

Sadly, unbeknown to me on the upper arm there was an militant isolationist empire who gently offered to cross the empty space, exterminate all my colonies and humiliate me.

And here I thought the Vogons were assholes XD

Civilization VI announced, will support Linux & SteamOS

Quoting: Mountain ManAt any rate, if Firaxis' last few Civ games (Civ 4, Civ 5, and Beyond Earth) are any indication, Civ 6 won't be worth buying until at least the first expansion.

Sad but true. I might even wait 2 expansions. And we're not alone, all civ fanatics knows this to well.

Ironic how the DLC business model created to rip customers of their money ultimately ends with them making less earnings.
