Stellaris Competitive Multiplayer - 8 Tips To Survive

Wow, i just started playijg this game on my xbox and oh my god there is so much to learn. I just needed beginner tips i dont even know how to get more than 2k fleet power without just spamming destroyers after 100 years im finally getting that 2k power how tf am i supposed to get 10k in 30 years

My tip: don't play multiplayer, the Ai is dumb but so is you

Me who has no dlcs: Ok...

are these tips still viable these days? are these builds still viable?... where can i find a complete practice settings.. it doesnt show on the video... i am sorry.. i just started playing this game..

Huh, I didn't think competitive players would cut the tech cost down to .5
I've just been playing at 1x :P
No wonder it's so hard to match you guys!

Multiplayer competitive Stellaris just means play boring meta ignore role playing and turn the game into a pHD maths quiz

really good tips for playing, last so important for can be competitive with full optimitation build and start

Why no one uses corvettes with space torpedoes?

Where can I find community’s for multiplayer?

After listening to the first tip: “But I like my Relic Homeworld”

evasion corvette spam isnt good ? with missiles/torpedoes?

Gonna use these tips and see how they work for me!

Tip 1. Don't play multiplayer

GROND




oh wait, wrong platform

We need to just make a multiplayer game that isnt meta

Free traders with void dweller takes the cake

How to properly play stellaris mp. Have friend be full militarist to protect you while you tech rush. Then steamroll everyone else. Totally has a 0.0000042% chance of working guys I swear.

build a fleet of planet crackers only for the sheer intimidation value

With Unyielding and the station ascend perk you can have very beefy stations, dont know how that translates to the tri-meta environment that is stellaris MP.

2.2 let’s go

Those deepfakes of yours are uncanny good.

GROND! GROND! GROND!

we got the likes WOOOOOT

the void dweller merchant max trade meta is absolutely hilarious, especially if you can work on catalytic reprocessing

does anybody know if multiplayer games are allowing shattered ringworld starts now that it's been nerfed a fair bit???

honestly, I'd probably not enjoy competitive multiplayer stellaris
considering I spend over half my time in the game paused and planning what to do next, along with constant save scumming/occasional console usage (yes I know) to get the absolute best result possible
oh and something about how pacifist/egalitarian are my favourite ethics to run with lmao

Thanks for the Tips, I'm a Stellaris veteran but I haven't done much in the way of multiplayer since I haven't gotten a decent PC until now and am considering joining some Multiplayer groups

I find its best in my friend only multiplayer matches to learn the game from scratch (with a few hints from me once in awhile) because from what I've seen, each person can have their own strategies and idea's of how to play their empire, of coarse in our current one some of my friends have gotten to know some meta builds, but I've found one that, though it takes a bit of more time, can be more powerful then the ones they've found online. They also ask me constantly how I do it and I would tell them if I myself actually knew what I do that makes my playstyle so special.

I need only one tip for it...
.
Don't play it. I just don't do multiplayer anything anymore. As soon as other humans are involved in anything, I'm out. The only exception, is sex...which is the exact opposite, and I don't do it UNLESS there's another human involved. That's pretty much it, universally.

I play casual MP Stellaris, this will be useful.

My personal strategy is defense by starbases. I upgrade starbases in choke points with a few destroyers sprinkled around the system to ensure that any fleet gets dragged into confrontation with the base

Possibly a dumb question, but for the hyper-specialized words early, how do you get enough minerals to rebuild all those homeworld buildings and build the necessary districts without a dedicated mineral world?

Hyxos best at surviving!

Id say ring world machines still better then void dwellers as the cost early for habitats can be steep and slow your expansion

Can ruining a neighbors economy with drug labs and casinos be an option

I feel like the intro segment could use a little bit of extra disclaimer/specific introduction to the style and concept of "competitive Stellaris" you're referring to here. Things like running games with no AI, are so far outside the normal scope and average players understanding of the game, that it kind of needs to be highlighted that this is by no means conventional Stellaris, and thus not advice that should be taken as gospel outside of that context.

Anyone that's newer to the game or hasn't played it, perhaps mistaking this as offering generally applicable tips, could be quite off put or misinformed by statements like "you get three empire options" or "Always go Supremacy". Bits like that make perfect sense within their context, but go directly against the heart of what Stellaris as a whole is about.

I dont play MP so this may be a stupid question, but what about the Ringworld-machine empire start? That's preety OP as well.

a friend would just go tall corporate and I go wide shared burdens

Do you always open with discovery > supremacy? What about expansion? Because it seems it would be useless if not taken first (although discovery is pretty much on a similar spot)

Nice

Can't wait to see your next playthrough video. I'm struggling to produce a 2k fleet by 2230, and 10k seems right out. Granted, I've grown weary of the three meta-builds and tried this with a peaceful/religious/authoritarian RP build, but man, 15-20k by 2030?? No way.

we met the like goal! Woo!

why capital a tech planet? no possible specialization on capitol, no boost...

Where the hell do you get consumer good's from when you spam tech and alloy only

i dont even live past 2230 against AI so ... meh whatever...

I like your channel because I learnt alot about the game,and I play this with friends over the course of multiple days,but seriously there's actually people that play multiplayer with random strangers online?completely serious?Doesn't that take hours if not days,unless they speedrun the game with maximun speed? lol

Next Video: How to survive competetive multiplayer as Spiritualist. ;)

Didn't they say that the consumer goods through trade option is getting locked behind a tradition in the last dev diary?

Truly a shame how the devs refuse to balance the game properly. I've been playing with Stefan's balance mod and it makes the game 1000x more enjoyable. Because you can decide to play something thats not meta and do well with it. More importantly, the galactic community has a real impact with its laws, which can add pop growth for biological empires and nerf pop assembly for Machine or Synth empires. There are also a lot of buffs to Spiritualists, which are a joke otherwise. Thanks to this balance mod there is a real conflict between Organics, Machines, Materialists and Spiritualists just like it should be. Not just in terms of warfare, but also in terms of diplomatic power in the galactic community.

Honestly the devs should add most of Stefans balance mod right into the game.
