Sounds a lot like all the other Stellaris music to my ear... Maybe I'm spoiled by what Civ did with music this last time.

As for the note at the bottom, it's nice to hear that governors are getting looked at. If they're doing things the way I hope, this will include revolts a bit like the already-mentioned machine revolts, but lead by sector governors. But what I suspect is that it'll be relatively minor changes.

Basically you will have a single governor for the 'core sector' aka all planets not in a sector. So you don't have to have individual governors on every planet you control directly

Ded Diary 82

I'm mostly reposting this one because of what they're saying the next one is about.

Spoiler: MACHINA VULT (click to show/hide)

Hello everyone and welcome to another Stellaris development diary! This time I'm going to give the word to our very own composer, Andreas Waldetoft, who will be talking about new music in the Synthetic Dawn Story Pack.


I have once again been given some time to work on Stellaris, which always has been something very inspiring for me. There is so much freedom in writing the music for this that I never run out of ideas. For me, it is not the harmony or melody that is the hard part for Stellaris, it is finding the right sound and synth for the job.

For Synthetic Dawn I wanted to have the focus on simple synthetic sounds that would sit in the front seat throughout the songs. Some would call it a retro feeling with that 80-90’s game soundtrack kind of feeling, with my own style blended in. Musical lines that keeps changing more in tempo, dynamics and shapes rather than in musical harmony.

I did not however want to change the focus and soul of what has become the essence of Stellaris music so that it would sit wrong with all the other tunes that is in the game now. There is still similar musical language and ethereal sounds that we have heard before.

In total there are 3 new tracks, totaling ~18 minutes of music. Here is one of them, called 'Synthetic God' for your listening pleasure:

That's all for today! Next week we'll be going over a number of smaller changes coming in the 1.8 'Čapek' update, including the rework of Core Sector Governors and changes to democratic elections.

wouldn't it be "machinae vult" tho

In the next update you'll be able to release species in your empire as a vassel. Makes it easier to become some kind of space HRE

Still a pointless thing to do, though.

Eh, I've wanted to do stuff like that plenty of times for RP reasons. Doesn't have to be a good move from a min/max point of view to be a good feature.

Not entirely. Some of the traditions give you big boosts for having vassals.

THANK GOD

And you'll apparently be able to directly build on sector worlds.

Aside from the afore-mentioned traditions, it is also great for hive minds (and robots with the dlc) since otherwise those species would be purged.

[Karnewarrior]

So I'll finally be able to play a benevolent hivemind? Sweet.

Your vassals can provide you with fleets you dont have to pay for maintainance for, and their territory counts towards victory conditions with the penalties to unity and research or filling up sectors.

So it's not necessarily pointless.

I feel like Stellaris needs some more intense music that only plays during wars... If I play for too long the music usually puts me to sleep, especially the Leviathans pack music.
