Stellaris Dev Diary #42 - Heinlein patch (part 3)

[Wizzington]

I do have a question for Wiz if he see's this, something I have been wondering and that is will we be getting the ultimate weapon or weapons of destruction or Dooms Day weapons as they are called that could destroy an entire star and everything around it in the system making that system completely uninhabitable or if you don't want to go that far just destroy a planet and everything on it. I just see that every government except maybe a pacifist government would have a dooms day weapon that they can call upon on

I'm almost certain we'll do this sooner or later.

This is why I (and a couple other forum'ers here) suggested to rename it to "Dry, Wet, Frozen". This way you keep the same classification but remove the temperature/humidity mix.

Sure, can do.

The diplomacy system really needs an overhaul, but I am afraid that the changes listed here are simply not enough.

It is practically impossible to maintain alliances if you are not a pacifist, which is strange given that strong alliances are a major part of good military strategy.
From my recent play-throughs, it seems like you can't maintain any sort of stable alliance without being a pacifist. Apparently, waging wars on religious fanatic sloths and fascist birds and liberating them into less insane empires makes my relatively reasonable allies hate me enough to try and kick me out, and then leave when that fails, despite them having 150+ opinion of me. And this was all in the span of less than 10 years.

Uh, what exactly was the opinion modifier that made them hate you here?

Did you change your war policy, perhaps?
