it's very much borrowed from one of the reddit subs i frequent(ed) often, but the idea is to share what we're playing weekly and hopefully create discussions around those games (or simply have a sort of "check-in").

I don't play stalleris regularly, but every other year or so I buy all the DLCs I missed and start a game. All the crisis' have come and gone and I'm just mopping up a war.

Is the newest DLC with leaders worth getting? I've heard very mixed things about it

[–] runekn@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I think it is a good addition. The council gives a better roleplay representation of your government than I recall before. The paragons that occasionally shows up can be interesting and powerful leaders.

But again, I haven't played for long time so not a lot to draw comparison to.

I really wanted to play the new Co-op mode with my friend where we both share the same empire, since he's pretty new to the game and this is a great way to teach the mechanics.

Unfortunately it's so buggy that we can't even get out of the early game (2240s). There are just so many Desyncs that it's pretty much impossible to have a session longer than 15 minutes.

Yea for some reason everyone making games like that always sucks at multiplayer. The Civilization series are also terrible at it.

Oh nice, I actually hadn't noticed that they added coop. I could certainly use an extra hand right now as I'm just stuck on playing whack-a-mole with the remnants of the war-in-heaven losers. So much border gore, closed borders, and million tiny fleets everywhere unexpected and recapping their territory. This was the part I didn't miss, and why I've never finished a game :)
