Stellaris: Leviathans announced!

[BjornB]

Space is lovely, dark and deep, but it has secrets it wants to keep. Rich systems defended by fierce creatures, hostile pockets of resistance to your civilization, and the sleeping giants of the universe – the Fallen Empires who may yet be stirred from their centuries long indolence.

In Stellaris: Leviathans, the galaxy will be filled anew with adventure and challenge as your new and naïve space-faring empire comes face-to-face and ship-to-ship with a host of dangers and rewards.

• Guardians: Powerful space entities with mysterious origins and motives. Fight or investigate them to unlock technologies and gain access to great treasures.
  
• Enclaves: Independent outposts of traders and artists who are willing to make a deal. Exchange resources, purchase information about the galaxy, or commission a great work of art for your empire.
  
• War In Heaven: Where will your fledgling empire lie if two ancient Fallen Empires decide to renew old grievances in a War in Heaven? Will you err on the side of caution and take a side with the stronger power, or will you strike at both whilst they are occupied with their own titanic struggle?

Leviathans is the first Story Pack for Stellaris, Paradox Development Studio’s best-selling science fiction strategy game. With new events, new species portraits, new encounters and new options, Leviathans adds a lot of new material, including new music and sounds, to one of 2016’s biggest strategy hits.

Stellaris: Leviathans will be available this Autumn.

This looks so amazing!

 

[Aries666]

If the rework of resources goes well then enclaves could really work well too. Looking forward to robbing some guardians too

 

[Pshek]

Great!

I hope that pack's name implies some new giant ships...


And... necrons in vedeo are cool too

Guardians and Enclaves sound a bit like the city-states in recent Civ games to be honest. It'll be interesting to see how they pan out. Perhaps they can pad out federations as minor associate members.

As you can probably tell, I'm still harbouring little fantasies about having federations that are actually fun to play with

Stellaris trade system is stillborn, additional stillborn babies floatin gin the vacuum won't help much.

 

[adriankowaty]

I'm glad to read that, however I assume, that WiH crisis will be able to ignore by staying neutral-pacifists to both sides?

 

[Polarisan]

Honestly? Not sure if gusta.

 

[Dominiek]

Good decision. Stories, background, quests, events, intricate chains of either, is exactly what Stellaris needs to make it exceptional and unique, more than anything else.
All hail Wiz

 

[King Leto]

Well, that trailer looked pretty ominous. The galaxy is dark and full of terrors.

 

[Velorian]

This looks good, I look forward to it, as well as the accompanying patch.

does this mean that heinlein is probably not going to be released in october? that is pretty sad

 

[Soranya]

Can anybody identify the Ship type of the Explorers that wake the Guardian?
I want to know who to blame for waking ancient monsters

 

[Hunnia00]

When will you add a "lobby" distinction to the multiplayer? The starting/running status are useless.

 

[overthewall]

So there'll be traders, without a trade system in place? Great

 

[agentmsn]

I am looking forward to seeing what new trouble I can get into.

 

[Super-Soviet]

I assume the underwater Lovecraft tomb is a slight nob to having the Sunless Sea writer on board?

Also

Just what the hell IS that, Mr Spock?

 

[Kliwarrior]

Not really.
I would prefer to wait a week or two more , but have a more polished and balanced product.

Meanwhile I'll have fun with new EU4 dlc.. so it's not wasted time

this IS heinlein, or rather, the paid content

 

[Swiss Halberdier]

Good news about a story and the description of the features sounds great!
