Do hive minds need sectors?

[HandicapdHippo]

Isnt that the point of a different playstyle though to offer a completely alternate way to play that some may prefer and others may not. Personally I play alot of 4x games (space empires specificlaly comes to mind, you manage 100's of planets in that game aswell without sectors (though you can enable an AI minister to do that stuff for you too) , some people like that.)

Sure but if paradox actually did what you suggest then I guarantee the forum would be filled with such hate that it would make the CK2 coalition and shattered retreat rage look like nothing in comparison. It would be a paid features whose main mechanics is pissing off players.

This is kind of my point for opening this up for discussion. I like playing diplomatic empires that will deal with internal politics (so I'm super excited for 1.5) and I feel that as time goes on sectors will get more live and become a really interesting mechanic.

But I also like to dabble with the other play styles too. Sometimes being the head of an elite oligarchy can be fun. I wondered if hive minds would be too radically different if you took away sectors from them, or whether it would be more fun to have complete control Aka: you are the hive mind.

To say that those who hate sectors would only use hive minds and vice-versa to me shows lack of imagination and openness of the player rather than bad design.

I disagree, I think that without sectors hive minds would be incredibly annoying for many people. The gameplay reasons for sectors do not cease to exist just because you're playing as a Hive Mind, rather I think that it would be better if there are sectors and those who don't want them can just use mods.

I'm just going to imagine that sectors are the subconscious parts of the hive mind.

Sure, that would make the most sense.

Cool, think we may have answered that one then!

Glad you agree.
