There's 1 viable strategy which is to ignore Earth and rush space ships. Want to run a ground game and defend Earth with armies and space defenses? Sorry, that's the wrong choice. The aliens will just spam missions to respawn the alien nation every turn. The protectorate will steal a control point from you every turn for free because people are scared they can bomb you from space. Even though you have SPACE DEFENSES WHICH MAKE YOU UNBOMBABLE in every region.Want to make super nations and improve things for humanity? Sorry, wrong choice again. You should be building only mission control and boost. Everything else is a trap because space ships are the only thing that matters. Investments into anything other than mission control and boost take too long for a return on investment too. If you haven't won by 2040 then you played wrong. The devs say that with their balance not me.Want to make alliances with like minded factions? Sorry, wrong choice again. It's not 6 factions vs the aliens with some infighting it's 6 factions vs you. Everyone is on the same team and will focus on you because YoU'Re ToO sTrOnG. You will never be able to change their mind.Want to experiment with different techs and weapon loadouts on those ships? Sorry, wrong choice again. The correct choice was going fusion power and missiles/torpedoes. Everything else is inferior.Then you get to the actual fighting with those space ships and it's dogshit. Dogshit that you're going to have to do hundreds of times in a game to win even if you're min maxing.

I really love it but i have a serious case of pause/unpause autism. Its basically all the busywork on a regular STG game without the 'send marines to kill ayyys in a XCOM type of scenario' and just the research stuff and buy shit to get buff for your agents till you get to the Stellaris space battle phase. Oh and the whole 'It doesn't respects your time' meme is 100% real and in your face with this game, it hates your time.

I think the game biggest issue is that theres not a REAL ground battle concept for either wait for the ayyys or if you get defeated in spess and have to turtle up and fight them on earth until you get the opportunity again to counterstrike. Maybe that could be implemented in a future DLC?

How fucked am I that the alien administration took India and annexed China? I have north & america and the good half of Europe. Also, i spend about the last 100 turns using my councillors almost entirely at campaign in my huge nations to counteract other factions boosting and enabling getting a foothold in Europe, and assaulting alien life forms around the world. What should I do with them instead?

It's a kind of blue ball game. The whole concept is extremely tantilizing, but then you start playing and after some hours you realize that the devs managed to suck all enjoyment out of what would have been potentially a great game, and replaced it with tedium. Then you leave dissatisfied and all that's left is to fantasize about how great it would be to play a game that is like this, except good. However it will never come. Paradox are also masters of this blue ball genre.

Why are they so bad at UI and QoL? Fucking up the balance is one thing. Adding 3000 duplicate techs with 80% being traps yeah sure sounds fun. Didn't send out probes fast enough, yeah you're fucked. And so much more shit. But how do they play their own game hehehe and not notice the dogshit interface? I niggerrigged myself my own UI stuff so I can actually see where my resources go. Or where my resources come from. Or what a base is expected to produce resource and energy wise when all construction is done. Or where your control points go. Or what stations still need life support added. Or some quick buttons to go to the most important planets, hidden unless the sun-icon is clicked. Oh and how about we make tech and project names into hotlinks you can hover over for a quick tooltip with related techs and projects, colored by if already researched, which you can also click to directly go to that tech in the tech tree OR the archive depending on if you hold ctrl while clicking Plus a mouse-back function to go back to the tech before.How is stuff like this not in the base game? It took me like 4 hours to vomit all this out with just retarded vibecoding, surely one of the devs can spare some time and actually do good for once.

The same mostly with weapons. Low tier lasers and cannons useless, need to use rockets. Top tier lasers better than rockets. Coils good only in big front slots. We can delete early lasers and cannons, delete late rockets, delete small coils and it will change literally nothing. This game just bloated with noobtraps and useless things, you can't deny it with sane arguments. Lot of people tried, no1succeeded.

So, I'm liberating russia from the alien admin, and pushing my faction to 60-70% popularity in russia. Despite that, the servant keep flipping russian control points, even tho I fortify them. Is it the alien doing enthrall? And if so, why don't the 5 or 6 tech I've researched supposed to give them penalties to enthrall don't do shit?

I don't understand the complaints about diplomacy desu, maybe it's a late game problem In my games I just kept good relations with the closest ideology factions and made sure they were relevant in space by gifting them my old shitty mines and shipyards It's a good feel when the first HF ships left their shipyard and headed straight to the servant and protectorate stations to blast them out of orbit, or when your friends take out the survey ships and small ayy fleet so you don't get the hate penalty

I normally play with only two factions, mine and servants and 9/10 times I'm resistance or HF because I want to kill ayys in space not play politics on earth.

There's one positive side effect to the clusterfuck of engines and impossibility to refit, it's that each bunch of obsolete ships I have ends up on guarding duty on one of my research hab around earth, and their type cluster my ship design list, giving me a good larp as a real navy with a mess of an inventory.

The protectorate managed to bomb one of my pan-asian-combine control point into submission before I could destroy their station. How can I recover it without doing a revolution or without waiting a year for a one-shot chance before they re-protect it?
