I buff up F/AEs quite a bit to compensate for lowered tech costs, which makes higher tech costs *interesting* once endgame arrives.Ĥ. No habitats (modded) are a must to make this actually have an impact.Ģ. I've got a few different settings, but my most common ones (recently) are:ġ. Then I turn off carevaneers and xeno-compatibility because I hate all of that. I basically play 'big enough' to get a potential war in heaven) Galaxy size: Small (400) or medium (600) (I really don't care for game lag, especially if I usually don't even interact with the other half of the map like in bigger galaxies.

Victory year: 2400 (I like shorter games, and with a manageable victory year like this I can have a definitive end-point to call it at)

Primitives: 1.75x (I find them an interesting thing to interact with, plus it makes no sense that almost all sapient races in the galaxy became spacefaring at the exact same time)Īdvanced empires: 1 or 2 (they usually act as my mid or late-game rivals so I don't stomp everything at that stage, plus same as before, my headcannon of when species became spaceworthy becomes more of a bell-curve) Hyperlane density: 1.75x (I don't like feeling stuck, I like lots of room to navigate, but 2x often means there aren't valuable choke points so enemy fleets bleed into my empire when I'm not watching) Heyo, I'll join the 0.25x habitable worlds crew! I also usually have 0 or 1 guaranteed planets. for hyperlane density i usually on max since it makes the game feel like i am not limited by hyperlanes just by distance in space which i find more pleasant For me 0.25x habitables is a must, sometimes i even get mods to make it go lower, other than that usually go 0 primitives, 0 jumpgates, and a fairly crowded galaxy mid/late game 2250/2300, tech cost 5x if i want to experience earlygame, 1x if i am in the modd for going straight from start into lategame (for the 5x tech games i usually put the years on 2275/2350) also sometimes i just play out an economic challenge in an empty galaxy but thats usually heavly modded since banilla economy is too easy to challenge anyone except AIĮdit: forgot to write in: ofcourse caravaneers and xenocomp disabled, guaranteed habitables always 0 (kinda necessary for a true low habitability galaxy, otherwise every empire start is a clump of habitables for no reason), advanced empires in 1x tech all of the AI to pose any challenge at all, in 5x none of them just due to how 5x tech games tend to turn out.
