If they're religious, then they're Evangelizing Zealots.

Fanatic Purifiers are a very specific thing in Stellaris.

Actually I've played an Evangelizing Zealot race and they weren't fanatical purifiers. They were actually spiritual militaristic xenophiles.

Although they should have been called crusading missionaries. And they sought to purify the universe of all forms of evil and corruption while uniting everyone in peace and love and equality...and accept their religion at the same time.

I just hope that the good old "Monarchy" isent lost in the process completely as it is not a chooseable authority for itself ; (.
A kingdom in the end still holds a bit of different feeling as an empire.
And I also hope for many "best of both worlds" possibilitys.




In the end there are mods at least and I hope such things arent to hard to mod.
Even if I would find it sad that I cant play with Borgs or Geths for achievments.

The only difference between a kingdom and an empire is the number of cultures and ethnicities within it, i.e. the United Kingdom of Britain and Ireland was the capital of the British Empire.

Heck, if you go by Crusader Kings rules the UK is an Empire on its own.

point given.

Though I would have liked to see a heir system besides appointing someone. Instead leaders could have children wich share some of their leader traits.

Well it might have been too much work for a minor function. My power of imagination that the appointed next leader is the son or daughter of my current leader will have to do it for now.
 
I've already put 500 hours into this game and this update is looking like it's going to completely rejuvenate it for me . Has there been any word on how much utopia is going to cost? I'm very interested.

Ummm... Seriously? They have a "queen" and live in "colonies" like eusocial insects. They're the most basic example of a "hive mind" in scifi cinema.

Bees live in hives. They don't have a hive mind. Hive minds are an invention of fiction. Xenomorphs don't really have a "hive mind" so much as they're just euoscial parasitoid animals.
 
Looks great!

I was wondering how the new Authority settings will interact with the "old" ethics system, especially the egalitarian/authoritarian axis. Will ethics limit the available authority settings too ? (a bit like it is right now, with individualists being forbidden the autocracies and collectivists the democracies)
 
Sounds amazing, cannot wait for it to come out. Hoping that the release date will be announced soon!

But yeah, also chiming in to give my support for the option for a synthetic hive mind a la Conjoiners from Revelation Space. They might not even need a special civic, just the option to pursue synthetic ascension with a hive mind flavor should be enough.
 
I kinda wish that you could adopt a policy as a hive mind on how to deal with non-hive minds, like you can choose to purge them, to deport them, or to keep them as slaves (of varying types). Maybe even some form of limited citizenship that allows them to form factions but otherwise play no part in the government. That way there's at least some choice involved.

Similarly, a normal empire can also adopt policies for hive mind species about whether they let them form a citizen or slave sub hive (they're members of the empire as a single hive mind faction), deport them, or purge them. Again, this gives the empire flexibility as purging isn't the only option.
 
Also, "Xenomorph" is used in Stellaris as a generic term for alien monsters, not specifically meaning the aliens from Alien. Much like how the term is used in Aliens, in fact.

Um, what? Xeno is used (which just means other in some old language, I forget which) with various suffixes, but I've never seen Xenomorph used.

If animals that live in a hive don't have a hive mind to you, I think you have a pretty useless definition of hive mind. Obviously in real life they're not psionic, but their instincts drve them to serve the queen at the expense of everything else, and most if not all bees follow this instinctive drive. There's no reason to necessarily imagine the hive minds in stellaris are psionic, that's just fluff.
