Transition 2 of the Calling – Spaced Cowboy's 1st Turn Part 1



His first tasks involve some clean-up and streamlining of the empire. Nharr-Nharr Binks ascends to the position of the office of High Inquisitor.



“Mesa called Nharr-Nharr Binks. Mesa your new humble leader.”



Nharr-Nharr Binks notices that there is an unused constructor sitting in orbit around Zinix with no available work anywhere nearby, so he orders it to be scrapped to save 0.75 energy each month. “Mesa lika energy.”



Moreover we are short on food and over our fleet cap (costing us 7%). Sol III in the Sol system, Roich in Ziris system, and Groro in the Aphecca system do not have star bases. So that will be a priority. This will fix our fleet cap problem.





Nharr-Nharr Binks looks over the state ofThe Calling. He notices that the recently integrated humans are being treated poorly. And sets their living standard to the same as they have in The Calling.







Next he notices that research is progressing nicely, but some of our best scientists are out in the field and should be recalled in order to optimize the research effort.







He also noticed a young research genius, who he immediately hired as some of our scientist are getting a little long in the tooth, so we need some fresh blood.





On the diplomacy front, we have strong neighbors to our south guaranteeing our independence, friends to the west (Ess’Jaggon Hegemony), and the Syldeaen Regime to the North. Except for the Southern expansion sector near Sol, we are boxed in.



I saw an opportunity to establish a research agreement with our Southern neighbors for an active sensor link, star charts (big deal), and a small amount of (one time) energy.





It looks like there will be no harm in declaring a rivalry with the Syldeaen Regime as they have already rivaled us and we get 0.6 influence per turn for it.







Additionally their fleet was visible on the map so I was able to get a scouting report.







They have a two star admiral who is in process of clearing some random aliens and our admiral is a 1 star rookie, so we will need to do the same. We see no fleet strength advantage over them at the moment, so we will move the fleet to the Southern sector to help clear aliens and give our admiral some experience.



Meanwhile in the Southern sector we are building a frontier outpost in the Siet system. I’m concerned that the outpost envelope will not encompass enough systems and Siet is empty otherwise. …Time will tell…

What is this Psionic Theory and what does it do? I have not encountered it before in my own runs. And I'm very curious what our Nharr-Nharr Binks is going to do in the future ;).

If I recall correctly Psionic Theory is now a vanilla-only tech - if one has the correct DLC (Utopia?) then it is replaced by Ascendancy Perk.

Interesting, didn't know they did it that way. Do you know the effect of it in-game and is it the same in vanilla as with the DLC?

I can't remember the details if I am honest - without Utopia the game retains the vanilla Psi mechanics. No Shroud, for example.

Spaced's next update:

Time did tell, the placement was optimal (Does the game show the area affected now? Or was that just in a development diary?)





Nharr-Nharr Binks officially takes office.





Nharr-Nharr wrestled over this decision for quite some time. So many good choices, but his desired to directly control more planets made him think that finishing the Expansion tradition was the best choice.





Starting engineering research for Advanced Spaceports





Special project completed, 200 experience gain and three fodder ships added.





Nharr-Nharr’s 5 start science leader died, must have been the drugs. He put the old leader in his post and started assisted research, which will be needed to give his scientists experience as the galaxy (nearThe Calling) is almost fully revealed. Additionally (not shown) Star bases have been started at every planet. Nharr-Nharr will start solar panels at all of them for the energy boost.





Another anomaly explored.





“Wha…wha…Energies production, mesa likey.”





“Mesa really likey.”





“OMG whas is it?”





“Okay, lesa check it out.”





“Okay, oh, the Sweet”





“Letsa improve the research.”





“Moar.”





Tough choice here. “Letsa go for bigger guns.”





“Letsa do it.”





“Oh noes!!!”





“Yousa declare on me…”





“Isa declare on you.”





“Oh noes, there goes that idea.” War ideas need to change. Can't take on both of them.





Only one option left now.
frown.gif.0e4ace2f517e239df7224a2211506cb4.gif
” But 10 years wait.
frown.gif.0e4ace2f517e239df7224a2211506cb4.gif






Another research agreement acquired.





One more while we are at it, mineral production is good.

I seem to trigger it every time I play a Spiritualist empire. It causes certain issues for Spiritualists if you follow it to conclusion (won't spoil it if you've never seen it...though you may see it in the AAR assuming Spaced and any subsequent players follow it to conclusion). I usually roleplay around those issues though as it's a really fun event chain.

I seem to trigger it every time I play a Spiritualist empire.
Are some event chains linked to traits of Empires? That might explain why I always see the same events during my 6 attempts when starting with Stellaris :rolleyes:. But it's indeed a very intriguing event chain.

I seem to trigger it every time I play a Spiritualist empire. It causes certain issues for Spiritualists if you follow it to conclusion (won't spoil it if you've never seen it...though you may see it in the AAR assuming Spaced and any subsequent players follow it to conclusion). I usually roleplay around those issues though as it's a really fun event chain.
I've seen some of it indeed in other AARs I have read. Given my reading habits I usually experience PDS games in written form before I get around to play that particular nation/even chain.

Transition 2 of the Calling – Spaced Cowboy's 1st Turn Part 3

Nharr-Nharr Binks wanted more direct control of his planet's development. He did not like the way the "sector" governors were ruling, as well the choice do have specialized research labs is not energy efficient. Energy is a problem for us. Lastly we wanted to do the fastest research possible as we really need more tile blockers cleared.



The Horizon signal is burning for another sacrifice, okay!



Research choices have been bleak for Nharr-Nharr, not what Nharr-Nharr wants, so he'll get another pick in the mix.



Nharr-Nharr gets something back from the hole..."but whas it is?"



Nharr-Nharr drones on about this next choice, but you get the picture.



Meanwhile we found some kind of "loop temple."



One of our scientist studies a ceramic object and we got a nice research boost out of it.



What a bunch o' crap, Nharr-Nharr really wanted cruisers to pop back up. Maybe if we can find some of this stuff, we can trade it?



Finally!



"Wesa need fancier dodads for our navy."



Well that will help Nharr-Nharr to drag them into a war with them.



"But mesa really liked you. Sad." Looks like they were running low on influence, they still like us, but won't even budge on a defensive pact either.



At this point, border range will pull in more systems with resources.



"oh, sure buddy." "Mesa like you."



Cruisers, FTW! [Just noticed that my research percentages are very high on the lower two, wow.]



Way on the far side of the galaxy Nharr-Nharr was trying to slip his trapped science vessel around the edge and ran into this FE. Ended up scrapping it, bring the scientist back, and build a new ship.



Need more capacity, pondered habitability.



Still cleaning up research projects that were visible on the map.



"Mesa thinks everybody happy now."

This is making me itch to start up Stellaris.

Of course what I am about to do is walk into work :)
