I learnt a lot in this run through. The Contingency were kicking my butt. But then I realised that you can press the ‘Take Point’ button to call upon allies.

After that, it was quite easy! I did have to heavily invest in winning this war though; using an Acendency Perk to get the damage bonus.

I didn’t go full Angry Mode this time. I decided to do some diplomacy and it was much easier to take control of most of the galaxy that way.

I’m excited to start my next run with a few more DLC. I bought some more in the Steam Summer sale.

Tonight was the third session (which included two cidres, so bear with me) of Stellaris, playing with some friends in the same game.

The first two sessions I was madly clicking around. The game happens so fast, and there’s so much going on. I was randomly clicking research and just throwing buildings onto planets.

This session, I thought I was about to lose, so decided to take it slower and try to claw something back.

It’s getting better for me!

Since I was randomly selection research, there were loads of very low point research projects for me to do. I think I’ve caught up a bit because of that. I’ve paid more attention to the perks of each leader. Fine tuned things. Doing well, I hope.

(Note the embarassing loss of Sirius here.)

There really is a feeling of genuine politcs.

Anyway, bed time.
