Under One Rule Ruined

[Doctor Proteus]

Dictatorship only. They had one job. One darn job! Why can't I just be the Head of the Council or something?

For those who will see the Dictatorial requirement and are baffled why they can’t be imperial with this Origin - as every story goes its own path, there are possibilities in game to pursue different goals than staying true to the Founding Myth (yes, this means that there are events which allows to change the Authority Type, and I’m not afraid to spoil them as they happen fairly quickly).

The forced 1 cost trait also makes it much harder to use the venerable trait.

My imperial cult space elves will be sticking with teachers of the shroud, it seems.

They should have thought this through. They should have known that people would want to create their own Leader to start with, but they've restricted it to one and only one government type and play-style.

I'm convinced the developers don't actually play the game.

To this day we and the game are still haunted by the folly of the pops update.

I don't know if you can change to any of the normal authorities later but it's clearly possible to get at least ONE OTHER authority type.

And you can design your Ruler without using Under One Rule as an origin :)

My question is why can't it also be imperial?

As they have mentioned, you can change government type early in the origin depending on choices in its story line. So fairly sure you can swap it to imperial early.

I would but my game won't start since the last update. So I'm playing Distant Worlds 2 again, as usual.

So i've played through this origin for 100 years and have found it to be wholly insufficient for imperial cult purposes. You do get a free switch to the imperial government type but you still need to reform to the actual civic.

It's much more focused on being an autocratic dictator, which I suppose is what it says on the can, but definitely disappointing relative to the hype around it.

I had that issue once after an update. Try starting it with a third-party launcher instead of the normal one; i used Irony Mod Manager and it has worked just fine.

Broken.

Disable your mods, and update your video card drivers. This resolves about 95% of crashing on launch issues.

Did that already. Game starts but I'm getting pretty constant crashing in the middle of the game now.

But do they have the special trait and storyline that way?
