God I hope not. AoW4 which is the one they'd use as the base with CK3 is extremely Paradoxic and lame. Boring stupid balanced modifiers instead of wild and wooly unbalanced magical of the kind that very early fantasy 4X games and Dominions 3 have.
that's what they've been doing for pretty much all stellaris' dlcs.
*all their games and their dlcs
that's because all the exploration/archeology stuff is exhausted, so no more events, and because by late game you'll have lots of planets to micromanage (which is a massive chore). Since Stellaris warfare is shit and uninteresting, and there's little to do other than war, the game loses most of it's appeal. I guess there's the galactic community stuff and megastructures in end game, but they're minor distractions at best.
If those stories were at least good or plentiful enough but most of the time they are barely a bastardised Star Trek(and not even the good kind) and there so few of them that even with event mods installed by the time I started the second game I saw about 70% of what the game has to offer.
EU4 will always be the best idle clicker. At least it accepts that that is what it is unlike the games that fight it.
Grid was bad. The system then didn't even support very large planetary popullations.
Yeah that one is before my time, I started playing with 2.0.
Planets doesn't support large planetary populations. It kills natural resources, and there are only so many long term renewable sources.
It depends on race. Some are like humans, some live in swarms and some cannot breed.
Paradox peace treaty mechanics have always been insanely simplistic and dumb. Maybe once someone makes an actually good system they'll rip it off.
HoI IV is garbage. Play DH if you want a good wargame
EU4 has the best diplomacy for sure, although the bar for strategy game diplomacy is in the basement, but still a real achievement.
