Stellaris: Utopia Announced
Paradox Interactive has announced the first major expansion to space grand strategy Stellaris and it's called Utopia. This add-on focuses on striving for perfection.
What's the point in conquering the known galaxy if you don't have the galactic bling to go with it? By space bling I mean fancy megastructures like ring worlds or a humongous Dyson Sphere encasing a star - because science.
Stellaris: Utopia introduces some rather smaller yet still ambitious construction projects for empires to undertake too such as space habitats housing populations rivalling a small planet, but also focuses on defining the traditions, rights and privileges of said empires.
"As the title suggests, Utopia gives you new tools to develop your galactic empire and keep your people (or birdfolk or talking mushrooms) happy. Push your species further out into the galaxy with new bonuses for rapid exploration or stay closer to home before striking out against all who would challenge you."
Feature highlights:
• Megastructures: Build wondrous structures in your systems including Dyson Spheres and ring worlds, bringing both prestige and major advantages to your race.
• Habitat Stations: Build “tall” and establish space stations that will house more population, serving the role of planets in a small and confined empire.
• Traditions: Collect Unity points and adopt ideas and bonuses that will ease your species’ expansion across the stars, unlocking special perks for completing a set.
• Rights and Privileges: Set specific policies for which of the many species under your thumb will have the rights and privileges of full citizenship.
Stellaris: Utopia releases on PC later this year.
