This ducktails perfectly into one of the game’s biggest (literally) new defensive options, the Ion Cannon.
You can still research warp travel later in the game, but it’s no longer available (thankfully!) right away. Now, you can set up defensive bottlenecks, complete with some of the game’s new defensive options. All they had to do was merely skip across the map willy-nilly. Before 2.0, people could choose warp travel, which completely nullified any defenses you had set up to guard your empire. Not only is the new UI fresh and tidy looking, but everybody is now relegated to traveling the stars via hyperlanes. I used this as a great tactic against really strong opponents in order to soften them up, before swinging in with my uber-fleet and administering the killing blow.Īpocalypse comes alongside Stellaris’ new 2.0 upgrade, which I personally love. However, if you do enough to curry their favor you’ll be able to enlist them as mercenaries and have them attack your enemies. What that means is that they’ll become unified under a great Khan and begin rampaging across the galaxy. Marauders are an interesting inclusion because just like any Fallen Empire that happens to be in the game, they have the potential to “awaken” at some point during a game. These are full-fledged galactic Mongols who will announce their displeasure (via diplomacy screen) with you as soon as you encounter them. No, these aren’t the cute little pirates who trickle out from their little asteroid bases every once in a while to act as occasional annoyances.
There is a new pirate faction to contend with (or work with) called Marauders. Destroy entire worlds with terrifying new planet-killer weapons, fight against (or alongside) ruthless space pirates, and maybe discover a few non-violent game features as well.”Īptly named Apocalypse, this latest DLC seems to be aimed at delivering mostly mid-to-late game content.

Paradox’s newest DLC further broadens Stellaris’ already expansive reach, giving gamers “a full expansion which redefines stellar warfare for all players with a host of new offensive and defensive options. That was when I knew that Stellaris was rising to the occasion and shaping up to be the phenomenal space strategy game that everyone knew it had the potential to be. That is until Stellaris’ Utopia DLC dropped (along with its Megastructures, Habitats, Ascension Perks, etc.) back in April 2017. Both Stellaris and Endless Space 2 gradually emerged as the two front runners. I’ve tried all of them, but in the back of my mind I knew that 4X games in general are such a time sink, that I had to narrow all of the available titles down to just one. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you look at things), there has been a steady stream of space strategy games that have inundated the gaming market like a meteor shower in recent years.
Master of Orion 2 stands out to most people as the absolute pinnacle of the genre, even today.
