These are additional perks and quirks you add to your created race to make them feel a little more specialised.

The DLC features can be divided broadly into three categories: greater depth to species customisation and roles (which in part overlaps with the free stuff), expanded mid-to-end game species evolution options, and the building of Megastructures (both separate and unique to Utopia).Įverybody, for example, will get access to ‘Civics’. I’ll do my best to keep it clear which things are exclusive to the expansion, and what parts will be in all versions of Stellaris after 6 April. Several of the paid Utopia features are extensions of a free Banks feature, and even those which aren’t can be difficult to talk about in complete isolation. The addition of proper political factions and ‘Traditions’ (more on those later) provide that familiar Paradox feeling of having to wrestle with your own internal problems as much as external threats something the game had definitely been missing. Two of the features which I think will do most to revitalise Stellaris are actually free ones coming with the 1.5 ‘Banks’ update. Ship colours now correspond to those of your empire, which is handy (and that’s a freebie). Where Utopia is concerned, the studio has tried to strike a balance between including unique, enjoyable features in the DLC, without withholding other key mechanics from the main game.

That’s partly because the ahistorical sci-fi subject matter lends itself better to abstract themes of power than specific regional histories, and partly because Paradox are still bolstering some of the weaknesses lingering from the game’s May 2016 launch.Įvery piece of DLC for Paradox’s main developed titles is released alongside a free (usually substantial) update which adds features to the base game too. Utopia, the first major expansion for Stellaris, follows the thematic route (‘idealised’ forms of space empire whether from the perspective of enlightened psychics, or purge-happy space fascists), but in a looser manner than its predecessors. Europa Universalis IV players who wanted more depth to trading could pick up Wealth of Nations.

If you wanted to set up in India in Crusader Kings 2, you’d buy Rajas of India. DLC for Paradox-developed titles has traditionally been based around a particular region or theme.
