Stellaris: The Fun Strikes Back

      

EVENT SUMMARY: 

Empire submission opens up August 10th

This is meant to be a fun, relaxed, RP event among friends, not a competitive match. If you are incapable of playing Stellaris in this fashion, you will be ejected from the game. Builds deemed to be "meta-gamey" will be ejected from the game. If your presence actively harms the overall fun of the event for other people, you will be ejected from the game. There is a zero tolerance for violation of the rules of the event, if you are found to violate them, you will be ejected from the game.

This will be a heavily themed event based taking place in the highly acclaimed Real Time Strategy game Stellaris, in which players will seek to guide their own nations on the path Galactic Exploration, Discovery, Commerce, Diplomacy and Conquest. However, to prevent some of the typical issues with Stellaris multiplayer games, there will be some guidelines for behavior in the event to assist with the flow of events.

Different from previous series is that co-operative play of an empire is allowed. You are allowed to have one person play co-operatively with you in your empire, subject to approval by the event host. 

Empire submissions will open up 2 weeks before the event start

(FINAL SAY IS AT EVENT HOSTS DISCRETION)

READ THIS CAREFULLY:

Nations are being broken up according to government type to ensure a balance of government types and playstyles within the game session. There will not be the same amount of each type available. Only a certain number of each type of government may be made and details will be filled in once each player has created their nation and filled in their details. The amounts available are as follows:

x2 of either machine intelligence or hive mind

x3 mega-corps

x9 of any of the types democratic, oligarchic, dictatorial, or imperial

This gives a total count of 14 available slots.

7. One change to players Nation may be made before the Event Day following which Players will be required to play their Nation as listed on the Event.
8. Players if deemed necessary due to game balance must accept modification to their Empire prior to the game and during to ensure a fair experience to all players (Changes may be but are not limited to, Caps on Naval Size, Science Output), Vassal Limit). This event is not intended to be a dedicated competitive match.

   2. Basically, try not to form space-NATO unless you have an RP reason to.
4. Only two player may make use of the Become The Crisis Ascension perk Whether the old crisis path or the new one. The event host however must first be messaged of a players intent to make use of this gameplay path and may be told by the host if they can or cannot depending on if another player is already doing so.
