This is assuming the invincible eldritch ball gets addressed, right now the combat environment pretty much favors all eldritches all the time. You can stop a fleet of 1 million Eldritch with 30,000 Gorgos. The casualties will be horrendous on both sides but the Gorgos will win. The Eldritch death b...

I don't like it. It slows down your early development if you want to rush to Eldritch, which you should if you know how because it makes early game expansion so much easier. I have had a systemic TL collapse when my main cluster foundation rebelled after I neglected the Republic of Reason for about ...

Thanks for all the stats and analysis Watch TV. It's been great to see all the discussion, even if Pokemon Go has taken all of the free time I need to post excessively long rants about Muh Spess Emprr up until today. Your guides make me want to make a dedicated Advanced Economic guide and break down...

I actually think dynamic nebular clouds would be a pretty nice effect. I do recall seeing in beta I a few patches of purple nebula and nebular worlds that can be designated as starship factories but the ships produced there can't move. I use chrome and can't scroll around the galaxy smoothly. Its a...

The Autocracy warned you fools about the insidious dangers of living in gas clouds and you called us mad. Now the corruption is spreading! Pretend scifi nebula racism aside, this is a weird bug and it's not just in your corner of the galaxy. Luckily I've been taking screenshots almost every day, eve...

Glad you enjoyed it. It's been fun so far to play an authoritarian empire that's racist to people who don't use trade clusters. And which holds perfectly justified views about nebular dwelling yokels. Did you know that people who live in nebulae have never even seen a Gorgos? Poor backwards savages....

Hey WatchTV! I should have known it was you, that lone cluster was too slick and I already knew where the Human Imperium was. You came way closer to winning than you know in a couple of ways. When I logged in to check on my empire after work I at first freaked out a little bit - I'd left almost all ...

Ah Watch TV, as always you provide useful colour coded advice. Just one observation so far: everything I have ever said about Gorgos Starfrigates is true. In the new galaxy Sanzu just sent 340,000~ Eldritch against my cap defended by a mere 5,000 Gorgos. They only killed 30,000~ Eldritch but they to...

George delivers! This is great, it's been far too long.

If we had a restart, I think most of us will play again. Hopefully this time the galaxy will remain thriving and prosperous for millennia and not disintegrate into a dark, cold and lifeless void. :D If we can just get a fix for the cap bug retention rates and pop would likely go way up. How many pl...

I asked George about restarting Anacreon last stream (Thursday ~4pm PST). I also pm'ed him and hopefully he'll look into it. Thank you for doing this. I know he has previously said a fresh map would be pretty quick and easy for him to do, so hopefully we'll get that at a minimum. It's been too long...

It'd throw in for an fresh server. The current galaxy is a bug filled grave full of phantom caps and ghost empires.
