Like I bought the last DLC without learning too much about it only to discover apparently Isyander is now like an overpowered pirate faction who can't be turned off. Really I don't know why some people were so upset about asking for the option to turn off features or certain 'features' of different DLCs, when reality is the main reason anybody buys faction DLCs is for the factions, not the rule changes or creating a new gimmick. I'd also suggest to just turn pirates off. I've no idea why that oversight happened to give zero morale penalties to using one whereas it took ages just to move and deploy a planetkiller weapon that then caused an uproar. I would also strongly recommend this, but as per Sseth's review oh man, do any of you remember the amount of butthurt those things created for Hissho DLC? I for one was so dismayed at Behemoths just nuking a system I flat out turned the DLC off because I didn't want to deal with that especially because using a literal star destroyer apparently caused approval problems than systemically pillaging and looting a planet or blowing one up. I have to do that to be able to see it, because Sega (or Amplitude) decided to join the Russia blockade.

I think the rest of DLC is ok (new music and minor factions stuff), I just can't be bothered to go into browser and use vpn to see the store page. Supremacy is not too messy, but I would also leave it out for the first time.Īs for DM I haven't tried it yet, maybe when I start using mods that fix it. But enabling Awakening and Penumbra is a very bad idea for a newcomer. You can enable Vaulters as it just adds a new faction, plus diplomacy with pirates.
