If you read my stuff a lot, you might notice that I like a good chuckle. Last week we were looking at the (then) recent Stellaris dev diary that was talking about features and mechanics in the upcoming Nemesis expansion for the space opera grand strategy game.
The headline feature is that you can become the endgame crisis yourself, but last week the team were looking at how you can also take charge of the galaxy’s defences as the ‘custodian’. I made a Revenge of the Sith-style “I am the senate” joke, we all had a laugh, and life moved on… except I seem to have severely underestimated how committed Paradox is to this bit.
In this week’s dev diary - titled ‘Galactic Imperium’ - the developers talk about how the custodian, once they’ve heroically defeated the crisis using all of these convenient emergency powers they lobbied for, actually can just declare a galaxy-spanning empire. You might say you’ll be able to reorganise it into the first galactic empire. Well played.
