Competitive Gaming Trial

Stellaris is a game where you can spend many hours a day expanding your ever growing borders and conquering other foreign empires from all different backgrounds and all with their own individual traits and needs.

Have you ever wondered, how much of a pro am I really at this game?

Well now is your time to find out, we are devising a competitive scene within Stellaris and would like YOU to be a part of its trial run!

The end goal with this trial is to allow our team to establish what kinks there may be within our current rule set and what issues we may have to deal with for any full scale competitions we may run. It will also give us a greater amount of credibility in our future in the face of Paradox.

In the future we would like to start offering monetary prizes to the winner of each of the competitions, starting small at first while hopefully growing bigger and bigger with each 'league' as such.

The game will be streamed on Twitch on the day so you will be able to watch how the galaxy changes of the course of 4 hours.

Rules
  • No NAPs
  • No Defensive Alliances
  • No Federations
  • No inviting other empires into wars
  • Max of 2 Frontier outposts each
  • All games will be played on a Small map mode (400 stars)
  • Max 10 players per game
  • 4 Hour time limit
  • Game will be played on the 'Fast' mode
  • All games must be hosted by an official host
More to come!

We do not intend to host this trial game until after the 1.4 'Banks' update in April, this means that there will be a significant waiting time before we finally get underway, there may also be some rule changes depending on how the new features will affect gameplay. The provisional date will be set as April 15th 2017 at 1pm (BST).
We look forward to seeing people sign up, I hope this answers any questions you may have, if you have any more please do feel free to drop me a PM and I will always get back to you within 24 hours.

Please apply with the following format

Name(In game):
Steam Link:
Empire name(If you have already made one):
Will you stay for the full duration of the game unless you are taken out before the 4 hours time limit?:

Remember there will be limited spots (10)
Apply now!

 
Hi Slynx

Yes my mistake, 1.5 is correct

NAP-Non Agression Pact

And yes, you may declare war on someone in a war already, if this proves to be a bit of a bad play on the rules then we will take that out for future games :)
 
ok. everything else is clear. i don't really know if i like 1.5 or not before i try it....but i guess i'm interested to join.
Name(In game): SlynxJewel
Steam Link: http://steamcommunity.com/id/koxacbka (but if you want to use this info to add me...you'd better notice me about it. i usually never accept friend requests)
Empire name(If you have already made one): (i thought in 1.5 empire names will be defined by the game) o_O
Will you stay for the full duration of the game unless you are taken out before the 4 hours time limit?: yes
 
HOLY COW, I'M ACTUALLY OFF ON A SATURDAY?!

I am 100% in. Steam name nurgles_herald.
Steam link: http://steamcommunity.com/id/nurgles_herald
Will stay?: Yes, forever my love

EDIT: Also, 400 stars but what shape? Personally I vote ring, or it will end in ridiculous dogpiles every time. Also, how do the rules apply to player interaction with AI? Are we banning wars of liberation?

if there will be a vote - i'll vote spiral

there will be ai? o_O
If you win a war of liberation, yes.

EDIT: And, of course, the stray primitive that manages to make it into space. We need to be aware that although every starting species might be human controlled, AI *will* sneak in.

It is almost always inferior, but if you are playing as a pacifist for unity stacking it is your only option. There will almost certainly be at least one player willing to try this, so our rules need to reflect the reality of the game.
 
I'm interested indeed.

Name(In game): NQ-Luckystrike
Unique Steam Name: NQ-Luckystrike
Empire name(If you have already made one): Strati Union or Strati Empire
Will you stay for the full duration of the game unless you are taken out before the 4 hours time limit?: I never quit unless I lose my Capital. I'd love longer games then 4 hours if possible.
