Can we get an update on Traits, Ethea etc before release?

[IIWW]

With balancing the game still in progress (or is it done already? ) and information-hungry community, would it be possible from PDS to release the updated traits, ethea and government typed (especially their bonuses) once they are no longer subject to change? If such changes were/will be made, then it would be nice if we knew about them, to polish up/plan/change our first specie. I know that the HR near the release may be scarce, but non-programming staff could propably find a while to post it here (it doesn't seem to be a lot of work, and the wiki could be updated by someone from community, as it is done normally).

My guess is, that the release version was finished on Friday and with the MP-Stream and the youtubers and Streamers being allowed to show the game on the 5th, we will likely see every ethics, traits and governments before release in one video or another.

you can read what each one of those things do in game you know

Well, they ought to update us when the game comes out, but you can use this to check the balances. I believe it's accurate.

I've created a thread with a similar scope about Spiritualist Governments. Feel free to read it: LINK

And how exactly does it help me with planing the playthrough before release?

It's accurate for information we have, but PDS stated multiple times that the game is still being balanced, and a lot of this info comes from earlier builds. I love it, but I would like to know id smth has changed.

Good point.

Although it falls under government types instead of ethos or traits.

Look at Theocratic Republic and Theocratic Oligarchy, Ethics Divergence: -10% and Ethics Divergence: -10%.

According to the wiki, according to older videos and streams - http://www.stellariswiki.com/Government

I've suspected one or both will change before release. We all know they aren't going to release two different government types that are entirely the same thing.

*Ethoses unless you want @blakh feeling bad because of you. Otherwise I couldn't agree more.

To be fair, ethea was a perfectly regular plural of ethos when the Iliad was written.

Thank You Sorry, I "know greek" only from some ancient sententias (so similary to how most people know latin), and I remember seing it written like that somewhere.

Well, usually if you borrow from Greek, you borrow Attic Greek from Plato's time, which IIRC was about 300 years later and had contractions (ea --> e) nearly obligatorily. But ethea goes easier on the ears, and -ea sounds like an actual plural morpheme in English, so who cares?

Ha! And I already thought I can make the illusion that I'm literate.

I'd dig that, yeah. Something to do to pass a few of the long, long minutes between me and Stellaris.

They will probably release the manual prior to release, maybe this Thursday. Have not seen anything about it yet, but every Paradox release was preceded by release of manual.

Don't take my word, but based on history... EU4 manual was released on August 2nd 2013, Europa Universalis IV was released on August 13th 2013.

It's too late now, you've said we're gonna get it, so if we don't the riots will start!
