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.
