Yus!
Having trouble to not just scream fom excitement

 

[Me_]

This is awesome! I would rate this as as interesting as Ascention or Megastructures. I can only ask for more in the future. Will there be more?

 

[frolix42]

Borg? Sounds Swedish.

 

[Magnificent Genius]

Aweshum! Do mine eyes deceive me, or do hive minds have unique civics choices?

"All other regular empires will also have a massive relations malus with you, the one and only exception being Fanatic Purifiers from the same species."

So we can still contact with the same species empire after all.

 

[rebus16]

Great! I'm looking forward to the new government forms.

"All other regular empires will also have a massive relations malus with you, the one and only exception being Fanatic Purifiers from the same species."

So we can still contact with the same species empire after all.

Two Fanatic Purifiers from the same species will actually have a huge relations boost with each other, though that will only ever really happen if the player makes it happen.

What will the Hive mind AI personality do? Obviously the player's values can completely replace the need for ethics and as you can't have non-hiveminded pops they won't have opinions about policies, etc, but how will AI hiveminds act diplomatically? What do they approve/disapprove of? Do they care about genocide? I assume they don't care about migration/voting rights but what about bombardment?

 

[AtarashiiSekai]

Wow, awesome!

One question, though: Will there be any consequences for changing your Authority (say, from Democratic to Imperial, etc.)?

 

[alteration]

Question: Do fnatic purifiers still need to declare wars?

 

[Makesin]

Does that mean that instead of unlocking advanced government forms which doubled the government boni, we now simply get a third civic, but no boni to the ones we already picked?

 

[Bayes]

oh my blorg this is only getting better and better, I smell a release date coming not that far away.

 

[Emraldis]

Sweet! Love the new government system!

 

[Alblaka]

... somehow this ended up being a rather dull dev diary, probably because everything said was already known by teasers in one form or another.
Except maybe the 3rd slot part.

 

[MolotoV3535]

Nice!

 

[AaronArx]

Well...there goes my Xenophilic Cybernetic Hive.

But man...the new government construction system looks simply great! a great addition

 

[bronze Void poison]

good and we get the other ascension next week, good good.

 

[Wizzington]

Question: Do fnatic purifiers still need to declare wars?

Yes, and have to abide by truces. Doing it otherwise would break the game in half right now, but we plan to look into the war system in the future in general.

 

[TimeMask]

Ooh cool :O Can't wait for utopia

BTW I'm really curious with how new hive mind works and how fanatic purifier works if AI personalities have been changed to accomendiate civics and ethics/goverment changes? Like do fanatic purifiers anymore exist without fanatic purified civic? Are there new AI personalities? Are all hive minded species the same AI personality hive mind? Do all previous AI personalities still exist, including fanatical befrienders and metalheads?

What about spread of ethics? If AI can have hive minds, is there some kind of limit how many hive mind empires can spawn or could you get unlucky and half of the galaxy has same hive mind AI personality? What about fanatic purifiers, will they be rarer now?

Oh, and have old preset empires been changed to include civics? Have you added another new preset empire for hive minds or was one of previous ones changed to be hive mind?

Wow thats quite lot of questions ._. But yeah excited now for utopia
