    Me in my mind when I come across sharpbeak’s race: “Oh no their hot!” May my hours in mass effect get me a tall military space bird GF. …ahem… Now on a more serious note, I would totally be down to being the head researcher that practically live on there ship with them to study them and record their race’s history. I hope when you brought up cloning sharpbeak’s race, you actually start growing pops of them in the player’s empire, I’d be quite sad seeing this race go extinct.

    It seems that Azaryn learned from Isshin Ashina because she knows that hesitation is defeat. Maybe that's why she was disappointed when you said that you wouldn't take another life to save your own. She wanted you to say yes because you would do well to kill without hesitation. Or maybe she's just a pacifist, but that seems boring compared to my idea.

    Man I didnt add this to my collection yet because Paradox decided the latest DLC for Crusader Kings 3 should be $29.99. I bought it. But this does not set a good precedent for the future. $30 for a DLC? Paradox is losing sight of the path for the greed. I also heard this DLC divided the community. Some say the bonuses and new system is cool. But most say the 7 leader cap and the fact you need to waste about 4 of them for your council and use the remaining for governors, scientists, and admirals. Oh! And sector governors no longer apply! Now you need a governor for each planet. I hope the cap goes much higher than 7.

  • @TheRedKing

    @TheRedKing

    Жыл бұрын

    My personal point of view regarding the cap is that it's fine; I think people forget you don't NEED a gov. on each planet and it does create an interesting balance when it comes to including Admirals. You now have to decide between Gov. boosting eco leaders, or military admirals. I quite like the choice personally. You can increase the cap to 11? I think with civics/traditions etc. and you can go over the cap similar to a starbase cap if you can afford it. Regarding the pricing of DLCs ultimately people vote with their wallets, if the price is to high or the quality not good enough then make the choice not to buy it. I tend to view it a bit like a subscription cost, (I played WoW for years) so i don't mind paying $20 every 4 months or so if that's the price of them continuing to develop the game. I appreicate that it's not for everyone though.
