Stellaris Battle Royale is a daily event taking place after 8 PM BST. Where dozens of players fight to the death in a small galaxy.. A knife fight in a phone booth. :D

There is only one goal: Survive and be the last person standing. If you are a highly competitive player you will probably be enjoying this.

Average match length is ~2-3 hours.


Update(21/06/16): Settings have been changed to 300 stars, balanced starts (no clusters) and zero AI (Including FEs).

Settings:
  • Map Size: 300 Stars
  • Map Type: Elliptical
  • Mods: None, Vanilla (Map mod is run server side, downloading mods is not required)
  • Spawn: Balanced (Equal distribution. Clusters are disabled)
  • AI: 0
  • Fallen Empires: 0
  • Difficulty: Normal
  • FTL Restriction: None

Rules:
  • No using the self-vassalization/planet trading exploit to avoid losing planets. People using this exploit will be kicked and are disqualified from participating in future games.
  • Razing your own planets and infrastructure is okay however (Scorched Earth)
  • No Hot Joining unless it involves a player that lost connection. Or Max 1 player before the end of the match start pauze.
  • Hosts will not enforce in-game or out-of-game agreements. Betrayal and other actions that do not count as exploiting will not be punished.
  • The game will be pauzed for 1 minute at start, and then set to fast.

When:
  • The server will be launched at 7:30 PM BST and is intended to start at 8PM.
  • There are no slot reservations. So if you want to be guaranteed a seat make sure you show up thirty minutes before the event starts.

Victory:
The victor is either:
  1. The last person alive
  2. Declared unanimously by the survivors.
Taking out the AI is not required.​


The event will also be advertised on http://stellaris.online/.

It is hosted by members of the Min-Max group or willing volunteers*. If no one is available I will still be hosting the event AFK.
If the event does not end before midnight it will be left running for the night. (Assuming the host has to leave)

*This does come with some responsibility. (If you have to leave you are expected to leave the server running AFK)

Victors of each event will be posted in this thread. If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to ask! :D

Match 3

Third Battle Royale just ended. I sadly forgot to take a screenshot of the map. Below is a short summary.

Victor (20/06/16): Ingen (The Parasite, Species: Swarm)
Player Count:
35

Summary:

Ingen declared winner. He was actually one of the least powerful players, and lost most of his worlds early on. He was declared a winner unanimously in the end. (Remaining players wanted to quit after one player sabotaged a war by giving his planets away to a xenophile FE, and most of our federation fleet was destroyed due to a bug)
The most powerful Federation was the Southern Union, but we lost most of our fleets in a war against an FE and a bug involving an AI fleet that rendered it invulnerable. The Southern Union (Initially Pact) formed after 6 other players spend the early game wrecking the southern half of the galaxy in a free-for-all war. Eventually we recognized the stalemate and the four of us decided to team up. (After having lost roughly 10k minerals in corvettes and orbital infrastructure). After over a decade and a half of reconstruction we were ready to take on the other powerful players around us. Our federation grew by two additional players, when we took on the most powerful player north of us.
When he lost he declared war on an FE, pretty much donated most of his worlds and then destroyed the infrastructure on his planets. The first is clearly not allowed and pretty much ruined the match. (Federation fleets got stuck in enclaves surrounded by FE territory)

Match 4

Victor: Lichslayer (Exalted Warriors of Khorne, Species: Cultist)
Player Count: 26
End Date: 2242 (~2 hours)


Summary:
Lichslayer had a slower rush start as his initial adversaries proved resilient and refused to peace out when it became clear he had lost. I was the original contender for victory (starting at the east side of the map), but was forced to go AFK after defeating 2 alliances and another rusher (7 players in total). After the frame rate bug forced me to purge all my worlds it was mostly a mop up for Lichslayer, who also defeated another alliance in the North before defeating the last player, who self-purged in the end.


(Map was set to spiral as a test)

Update: Tonight's match will use new settings.

Changes:

  • Balanced starts: Clusters have been disabled and distance between players is roughly the same for everyone.
  • No AI: All starting AIs have been removed. Including Fallen Empires.
  • Map Size: The galaxy now contains 300 stars instead of 400, though the radius has remained the same. This makes hyperlanes slightly more powerful (Long lanes are more common now).
 
Match 5

Victor: Dr. Jesus (Zerg, Species: Zerg)
Player Count: 16 (Due to technical issues the server was up roughly ~20 minutes before match start)
End Date: ~2228 (~2 hours)


Summary:
Dr. Jesus snowballed quickly, including capturing another rusher early on. After that there was little competition left as the North had spend their time fighting each other instead of allying against the Southern threat.


(Will upload screenshot soon)
