Also, having a bit of foresight helps here.

As such, you should upgrade incrementally, so you don't realize you're -400 in minerals after building 10 civilian industries. One thing to know about Le Guin (2.2) is that economy swings around a lot more, and it takes a lot more to swing it back. Also, as I've mentioned, I've mostly played megacorp empires so far, but I assume some of these strategies will work for you as well. This guide is aimed more towards the returning Stellaris player that is 'wtf ?' at the new features, but can still apply to anyone. They are like RPG characters in a sense, you go through their evolution, the good and the bad, and feel proud when your kitten turns into a monster that has more fleet than all the other empires. You grow attached to your empire after seeing it grow for 6+ hours, and you remember the times you first stepped out of the limits of your first planet to expand fondly. I have played games geared towards making performance empire that just work (not Todd Howard's 'Just works'), others towards making a RP empire and making a story out of my game. I am a long time Stellaris fan (approaching 1000 hours now) and a long time space civ game fan (sins of a solar empire is probably my favorite game, and I have been looking for a more recent alternative before Stellaris came out).

This is more aimed towards allowing you to explore and experience the game at your pace, while never feeling pressure from neighbouring empires and such. It's certainly not made to min-max your performance in a competitive environment. This guide is aimed at helping you make your empire work, and hand out a few tips I've picked out through the years. As such, this is a work in progress and it may evolve if it's successful.ĭisclaimer 2: This is a guide mostly based on 'feels' than hard math and min-maxing optimization. I will expand the guide once I've played through with other empires. Disclaimer: So far I have mostly played Megacorp empires, so my strategies will be directed towards these.
