Tom's Hardware Steam Giveaway - Stellaris

Invest and advance technology. A good way to forge alliances and fight foes.

 

[almagestum11]

Well, being an emperor isn't such a good job at all. I suppose, at some point I would go crazy, start calling everyone an idiot, shooting in every direction, suspecting, yelling and what not.

 

[kireato]

It would ultimately depend on my mood.

At times, I would be a plague upon the galaxy, devouring all my opponents and consuming their puny empires. My people would be mere pawns, their lives sacrifices for the sake of my glory as I conquer my foes.

At other times, I would disregard my military, leaving my empire undefended and vulnerable as I focused the talents of my people towards progress.

I'm an all or nothing kind of guy.

edit: by the way, the 10th of February is a Friday, Monday is the 13th.

 

[giogi]

i will rule like a benevolent god so that i enjoy more it.... u see, when u are surrounded by happy people u become also happy

 

[vitius]

i will subjugate and destroy everything and create again everything so that it will be more efficient and environmentally friendly

 

[duckandchicken]

Destroy all, those dont knee

 

[Jeff Kaos]

In "Civ" style games I tend to build up my economy and infrastructure first and avoid as many diplomatic situations with other civilizations as possible. Once I have a secure "core" area I begin to expand. Since I almost always have a solid economic base and decent tech I can build a huge military if needed. But I prefer to peacefully coexist and let the other civilizations destroy each other. Then I swoop in and take em all out.

Unless a rival civ has a resource I need. Then I wipe them out mercilessly.

 

[Mike Neely]

I will give all of them an offer they can not refuse

 

[JakeWearingKhakis]

I tend to build up quickly, efficiently, and quietly. Only when other civilizations approach me, do I deal with them. If they want something from me and are unreasonable I give them a swift smack on the mouth yelling "NO!" Then, I take their land and continue with my silent progress. I explore the world with spies, and then decide how I'm going to make it all mine.

 

[MRBANG1]

I will run this like a tangerine colored 6 year old with temper tantrums. Tremendous.

 

[problematiq]

Every strategy I have ever played it always ends up with me playing the "Steamroller" strategy. Build up my economy and build overwhelming forces and spread across the lands/space like a wildfire/super nova.

 

[spdragoo]

Playing the game: spend my time & resources building up static defenses & a few troops for defense, while pushing my tech research as much as possible. Better/more tech = more resources/better military units = stronger military for defense & attack.

If I was in the game itself: try to rule benevolently, but I wouldn't be afraid to bring the hammer down on enemies.

 

[FuriousReload]

I like to take RTS games slow, build a massive base, build a massive army, push my CPU as far as I can, then unleash it all on an enemy base, one base at a time.

 

[MillyKnives]

I would be kind and finish them as fast as possible so they would not suffer. Benevolent god of death.

 

[Captain Rage]

By exploration and expansion, without stepping on anyone's toes. Unless they step on mine. That is my usual 4x conduct.

 

[feelinfroggy777]

Well, I always go into these games with the mindset of "speak softly and carry an armored tank division" (or a spaceship in this scenario). It is important to understand consequences of actions, but decisive in carrying out said actions. And if there is any doubt, shoot first, ask questions later.

 

[why_wolf]

To quote Colony Wars, I will "see everything, know everything, punish everything."

 

[Cordt_]

I just hope this game is something like Space Rust.

 

[senkasaw]

I try to sort of role play it. I will generally decide on a faction "personality" and try to stay true to that. Usually pick a different style each time I play, I get bored using the same methods. I lean toward diplomatic and tech focused play styles.

 

[Andragoras99]

Turtle defense until I can roll over everyone around me.

 

[SpazCat]

I generally try to mine the technology tree, maintaining cordial relations with rival empires. I'll do my best to maintain a peaceful stance, but when they get belligerent --which they always do-- I will work to swamp them with massed, ultra-tech units.

 

[tates11]

I have no idea how to run my empire as of now... I have to see how will my mood turns out when I actually play the game hahaha

 

[RomeoReject]

Super benevolent to my allies, super vindictive and destructive to anyone who looks at me the wrong way.

 

[timf79]

Usually try to live in peace and harmony, then get ticked off and end up destroying everybody else...

 

[tweak13]

+1 to turtle defense until mass assault
