How To Play Stellaris In 10 Minutes

[Codarek]

I love this game, this is probably the best strategy game that is out there. After beating Grand Admiral i have decided to give back to the community, lets get to it.

1. How To Play Stellaris In 10 minutes

I will try to be as short as possible, because no reason. You can use this blueprint in every game and you will have fun. I will say that Admiral difficulty is the most fun in my opinion because you can roleplay and not play tryhard so much. Grand Admiral requires a lot of gaming. If Admiral is not fun enough play on Commodore. Technology Cost and Tradition Cost settings at 0.5 (from 1). Scaling Difficulty setting to Mid Game. 0 Advanced AI Starts settings. Mid Game starts 2250 and End Game starts 2325. Try to roleplay because it gives 50% of the fun.

2. Early Game

You only have 2 goals to achieve:

1st goal is that you must have your capital planet full of research buildings and 1 entertainment building (for positive amenities). Thats it. This is your first most important goal. The faster the better. Find minerals. Minerals turn into consumer goods. Consumer goods turn into science. Science is key.

2nd goal is to research disruptors for corvettes and try to build corvettes depending on the strength of other empires near you. You dont have to have a lot of corvettes, just enough that other empires dont attack you.

Bonus: Be friendly to everyone at the start of the game, you can roleplay in mid game. Try to have 3-5 planets before the Mid Game.

3. Mid Game

Usually this is the part where fun begins. Early game you kind of have to play the same way. This is the part where you can start roleplaying (in diplomacy and in general). You again have mainly 2 goals, but this is the part where you can start having fun and do what you like. Your early game is setup to mid game and if you play good at early game you can do anything in mid game.

1st goal is that you have to upgrade your capital planet research stations to the max level. That means mining exotic gases and having a large population. So again main capital planet to max research stations (from level 1).

2nd goal is to get cruisers or battleships. If other empires are aggressive, focus on cruisers. If not rush for battleships and put whirlwind missiles on them (also cruisers). Use missiles for your ships. Artillery computers for battleships and cruisers (if you use missiles).

Bonus: You can already roleplay, but if you get cruisers or battleships you can roleplay even harder. The idea is to get your defenses up as fast as possible and get as much science as possible. Try to have 5-7 planets. After you have done these, START HAVING EVEN MORE FUN!

4. End Game

You only have 1 goal.

1st goal is to HAVE FUN! Do what you like. Roleplay how you like. Continue the roleplay from Mid Game here. Just have fun, research technologies, explore the galaxy, play your role in the universe! Thank you for this awesome game Stellaris!
