Alright now this is scheduled I can finally go and play Stellaris Federations!
I’m super hyped for this expansion, since it finally adds the mechanics I most love in strategy games!
Alliances!

There is just something satisfying about becoming a political heavyweight in games. Knowing you can achieve your goal without having to go out of your way.
In Stellaris before I used to do this with roundabout techniques, like creating a hub that links wormholes, gateways and l-gates to make travel around the galaxy really fast. But by doing so I could cut off access to my systems and thus force some empires to travel the long way while the ones I wanted to win had my shortcuts.

Also Origins! Finally background flare for my empires!
