They sounded like the borg and I'm okay with that. I was practically giddy with excitement every time I heard my race speak. The new robotic voices are awesome too, for various events like finding an Anomaly. This will make them quite the menacing threat to play against, since they have the ability to expand quicker. That's another interesting element to my race, I seem to be able to colonize all types of planets, since we don't need to breath or have climate preferences. I am currently colonizing every planet I can find and mass producing additional XT-489 population units. There's so many things to this expansion that change the way you play the game it's quite amazing. You also manually build population units, instead of requiring food for growth, you don't deal with food at all.


The feature is just entirely greyed out, my leader is also immortal. This civic of mine was unfortunate for the Tyrathian Horde, who had evolved on a planet just outside my borders. They claimed they would unplug me once and for all - to war!Īnother interesting feature, is that since I'm not an organic race, I don't have to deal with factions. I could persue my quest to purge the galaxy of those pathetic organics as my race continues on towards perfection. This made it quite a bit more difficult, but also more fun since combat was more often. They have the shiny new "Determined Exterminator" civic, which meant I couldn't engage in diplomacy with organics. My choice was interesting, because they suited my play style rather nicely. They're actually re-using Avian ships, but eh who cares? Looks awesome! Just look at their ships, they're basically space whales! I decided to go with the XT-489 and I'm glad I did. Not only the writing, but the new designs for the extra races are fantastic too. It was extremely fun to play as a robotic civilization and read about their uprising. The writing in Stellaris is really quite incredible. I haven't had long with it, but their PR people were kind enough to send along a code as usual. Truthfully, this might be one of the most exciting expansions to Stellaris yet. YouTube videos require cookies, you must accept their cookies to view.
