Oggi la Paradox ha rilasciato sia la patch 1.4 per Stellaris (denominata "Kennedy") sia un DLC gratuito, ovvero "Horizon Signal". Di seguito la descrizione del contenuto di entrambi. Patch 1.4 "Kennedy" Descrizione completa a questo link. In particolare nel changelog ci sono: alcuni fix/miglioramenti per il DLC Leviathans; aggiunti 33 achievements; possibilità di trovari nuove anomalie dei precursori anche dopo aver esplorato tutti i pianeti della galassia (in modo da poter sempre concludere questo tipo di catene); cambiato il funzionamento degli Unbidden: mentre prima il portale faceva uscire flotte a volontà e bastava attaccare quello per eliminare la possibilità di rinforzi, ora oltre al portale gli Unbidden col tempo creano delle Ancore Dimensionali; queste Ancora aumentano il numero di rinforzi ottenuti (ora ogni tot tempo) dal portale e rendono il portale invulnerabile finché esiste almeno un'Ancora; questo dovrebbe cambiare drasticamente il conflitto con gli Unbidden, renderlo più lungo e permettere la vittoria tramite una guerra di attrito (prima molto difficile causa i maggiori rinforzi disponibili); evasione max 90%; ridutto il numero di tomb worlds, aumentati gli alien pet; ridotto il warscore necessario per pianeti e vassallizzazione; migliore AI dei settori nel gestire budget e risorse; altri vari bugfix, miglioramenti e aumento di prestazioni. I savegame della 1.3.2 potrebbero essere compatibili con la 1.4 (in quasi tutti i casi, ma non sempre). Changelog completo: Anticipazione (Spoiler): changelog ############################################################## ####################### VERSION 1.4.0 ######################## ############################################################## ################### # Leviathans Story Pack ################### * Added new introduction event for the Artisan Troupe * Added encounter event for the Enigmatic Fortress ################### # Features ################### * Added 33 new achievements * No longer possible to build robots on planets belonging to sectors * Added victory event after defeating the Prethoryn Scourge * Added new events for discovering additional Precursor anomalies, so that the quest chains can always be completed * Changed the way the Extradimensionals work: Instead of spawning reinforcements as soon as a fleet is lost, the Extradimensional portal will create new fleets at a fixed rate depending on the number of dimensional anchors the Extradimensionals have placed in the galaxy. Dimensional anchors are a type of station that the Extradimensionals construct, and their main portal is invincible while any dimensional anchors exist in the galaxy. This should make the war against the Extradimensionals more of a long-term fight and less of a surgical strike against the portal. ################### # Balance ################### #General * Evasion is now capped at 90% * Ship mineral maintenance reduced from 0.5% to 0.4% of ship cost * Ship energy maintenance reduced from 0.5% to 0.4% of ship cost * Afterburners now use the auxiliary slot * Regular empires now start with 8 pops * Primitive farms and factories can now be upgraded directly to hydroponics farms/mining networks * Pirate ships have been reworked slightly and buffed in most cases * Primitives are now consistent in how many pops, farms and factories they get on each age of development, and get new pops, armies and buildings when advancing through the ages * Stone age primitives now generate fewer tile blockers * Space Torpedoes technology now requires Fusion Missiles instead of Nuclear Missiles * Venerable trait cost reduced from 5 to 4 * Mineral Silos are now restricted to 1 per planet * Increased max minerals from Mineral Silos from +1000/+1500/+2000 to +2000/+3000/+4000 * Level 3 mineral silo now only provides +1 mineral per adjacent tile * Increased protectorate tech discount to 95% * Protectorates can no longer conduct independent diplomacy * Repeatable technologies have their base cost increased from 1500 to 3000 and their increasing cost increased from 480 to 1000 * Slave Processing Plant now gives +10% slave food/mineral production instead of +5% * Reduced spawn odds of tomb worlds * Increased frequency of alien pet deposits * Reduced warscore costs for planetary and vassalisation wargoals * Doubled Pre-Sentient Anomaly spawn chances * Fixed CTD when generating a certain tooltip while the player has no planets * Pops are no longer upset if an occupier purges Pops on one of your planets #

Il DLC è stato scritto da Alexis Kennedy (da cui il nome alla patch), noto soprattutto per i giochi Fallen London e Sunless Sea. Dovrebbe consistere in una rara storyline (non presente quindi in tutte le partite) che potrebbe scatenarsi in qualunque momento nel corso di una partita (e anche se la partita era iniziata senza il DLC, ma anche solo se viene attivato a partita in corso). C'è un messaggio per te. Dall'orizzonte. Qualcosa ci ama. Qualcosa ci ha sempre amato. Trovalo. Capiscilo. Distruggilo.Diventalo.
Stellaris sembra che stia diventando il gioco Paradox con la più grande componente narrativa: trame secondarie, misteri, indagini archeologiche, civiltà scomparse e altro ancora. Dopotutto la cosa non mi stupisce, visto che, trattandosi di un titolo fantascientifico, non possono attingere a piene mani da eventi storici. C'è da dire, però, che questa strada l'avevano intrapresa, in parte ed anche un po' in sordina, con Crusader Kings II, il primo titolo Paradox a presentare delle vere e proprie mini-quest.
Sicuramente il fatto che Stellaris non sia un gioco storico come gli altri permette alla Paradox maggiore libertà. Quindi non solo le meccaniche di gioco ma anche i contenuti possono essere totalmente nuovi. Come dici tu, già CK2 per le sue carattistiche aveva introdotto questo aspetto. Personalmente devo dire che in generale le mini-quest, sia in CK2 che in Stellaris, mi piacciono molto.
Segnalo solo che è uscita la hotfix 1.4.1: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...checksum-1759-not-for-problem-reports.987525/ Non contiene molto, solo qualche fix (che comunque è sempre il benvenuto). Anticipazione (Spoiler): Changelog ############################################################## ######################## HOTFIX 1.4.1 ######################## ############################################################## ################### # AI ################### #War - Fixed a bug where the AI would not embark their assault armies while at war - Fixed a case where AI vs. AI wars would never end #Misc - Xenophobe Fallen Empires will now cleanse planets ################### # Bugfixes ################### - Fixed issue with the Blorg not using all of their trait points - Minor fixes to localization - Fixed a potential breakage point in the Horizon Signal chain - Observation stations built in a sector shouldn't belong to sector - Turning off Auto-Unpause doesn't break Auto-Pause anymore - Fixed not being able to orbitally bombard occupied planets. - Fixed ethics divergence from distance to capital/sector managed planets - Fixed CTD when in station build mode while in the galaxy view - Fixed the "Then Virgil, Now Beatrice" achievement not being achievable - Fixed some issues with garrisons on occupied worlds - Fixed various CTDs
