Stellaris Overlord is out, and it's time to see if the features are worth your while. Should you buy this on launch? Wait for a sale? Or just leave it all together? Let's find out.
The review copy for this expansion was supplied by Paradox Interactive
ASpec's videos are based around the popular Grand Strategy Game; Stellaris as well as other fun science fiction properties. Delve into a galaxy that is both dark and full of secrets. This channel has tons of guide, overviews, musing and other content for you to enjoy in the semi-classic game review format. So stick around, grab a drink. Some of this content was heavily inspired by the likes of TheSpiffingBrit, RimmyDownUnder and GrayPlays. Other content is similar to that what you would find on let's play channels like The Yogscast.

They went all out on Utopia for their first major expansion, and the result afterwards was them going "Well fuck...probably would've been a good idea to have cut a bit of the content out to sell for later expansions instead of adding all our ideas in at once" Like it's honestly insane how much Utopia added and how borderline essential it was (and still is really)

I always get the DLC but definitely agree on the UI needing some sort of overhaul and reorganisation, one of my biggest peeves is just the sheer amount of tabs you have to cycle between for a lot of the in-game systems. The prompts for missing traditions etc are great, but when navigating around the menus there's a lot of screen clutter. Things could probably be sized down or compartmentalised a little better.

Something I badly want in Stellaris is more victory conditions that I could work towards that isn't combat oriented. Personally I am not a fan of domination victory and I feel mixed on score victory. When i originally played the game I found that I loved playing with a mildly small empire. I love playing tall and even when playing tall is not meta I find it to be so much fun. I just wish there were other victory conditions to win the game.

There was a mod like this. I considered it a must have to play the game. Sadly it’s broken now, I think it was called Sow Unrest. You were able to sow rebellions on planets close to your borders with special buildings and starbase modules. Then you could back the rebels in a proxy war. I used this to wreck havoc, and also, had it used against me by a very shrewd AI that almost killed me with it..

Definitely going to get the expansion. The standard UI has been bad for a while but their are several mods to fix that. Hopefully they make orbital rings a separate bar so you can minimize or keep open at your convenience but at least it would be separate from the star bases. The origins look fun at least and I can’t wait to try them all out. I’m looking forward to what mods come out with all the new toys the developers gave us with this update. Watch Gigastrustures make a superior even more accurate/exp megastructure to pinpoint jump around the galaxy.

When you pay full price for a game you expect the full and completed product with some minor and far between bugs, DLC is DLC when it simply ADDS to a completed product and not completes it. This is not a DLC, this is them completing the game Stellaris over the course of 4 years and milking you for money everytime they get off their ass and start fixing the game. Stellaris at launch was like a early access title and it was waaay overhyped, just Like Hoi4 had barely any content at launch compared to what they hyped up before they released it (Play Launch Hoi4 and compare it to launch HOI3 roflmao) . I suggest you open your eyes and stop kissing up to Paradox as if they were a small indie studio in some random village in Sweden. They are a Studio who has made millions off gullible people like you who just think "Oh they will patch it after launch" "Oh they will add that in a DLC" "Oh it just released dont be too harsh on the game" you are the people they are marketing these crappy point and click games to, open your eyes and realize that and stop giving them your money and maybe they will start putting actual effort into games again. All of this makes them one of the most greedy and anti consumer companies ive ever seen just because of their policy of released Half Baked products for FULL PRICE and then charging you a further 4 times as they release "DLC" after "DLC" just so you can get half of the product you paid for. And in the end people still sing their praises and jerk them off so much that people like you leave comments like this misleading people into thinking Stellaris is a halfway decent game on its own without DLC or mods (Because it isnt even after a billion patches) Take better care of your money bro.

@@kingofkemet5736 I agree with you 50% you are right about paradox not being a consumer friendly company. They hire a community management team that is pompous and narcissistic. And Devs who get mortified at criticism. So the treat their customers poorly (just look at how they handled EU4 Leviathan) They do have a point that they need more revenue. Most games are more expensive to make, and the cost has stayed the same sense the 2000’s. So they offer the bases game incomplete with DLC to help cover for the development cost. But this constant stream of DLC has gotten to their heads. And the sheer quantity of “needed DLC” they sell borders on micro transactions. This stifles them making new games that run smoothly, and doesn’t feel like a 10 year old game. It’s a shame there isn’t another game developer who makes Grand Strategy. Paradox needs healthy competition.

Does the chaos of the Holy Roman Empire sound fun? Give it a try. Adds a few super structures, vassals are fleshed out, more enclaves, extended options for psionic races and hives, plenty of general stuff or just expanding the galaxy. I don't know if it's required but like Megacorps the new origins are interesting to consider. I hope the general UI can be polished over time with Custodians but as just content I think it's fair for a discount or anyone who wants more out of Stellaris+

It’s 2250 and it’s feel like it will take a long time to grind these vassals down before they do what I want. Maybe once I get some of the railroads and later tech it will start to feel different but atm I am not seeing the changes. Maybe I am getting massive penalties because I am a machine empire and using the vassal mechanics?

One thing that absolutly does not make sense to me is the fact that vassals can say no. Im their overlord, if I say you give me more of your levies then you give me more levies. I was expecting more of a currency system where you gain vassal loyalty from deals that favor them and lose it if you make bad deals. It doesnt make sense that if my vassal refuses my order I cant go and kick their teeth in. Why would a vassal listen to me at all if they can just say no and I slink away with my tail between my legs? Doesnt make any sense.

Thanks ASpec! As a total newb I'm fast getting hooked on this gem. What expansion + DLCs would you say are a must-have for beginners, so we get more of a flavour of the current game, but without over-saturating it with 6 years worth of features? I'll prob end up getting everything in the mega-pack at some point, but just wanted some recommendations for my first 'real' serious play-through. Can we even de-select an expansion/DLC if we want (without uninstalling it)...? Cheers!

I would say Utopia & Distant Stars. Utopia adds some really important fundamentals such as enclaves, megastructures and deeper population management. Distant Stars adds more Stellaris. It's an event pack that adds nearly a hundred new things to encounter in space; events, unique solar systems, ect. It really adds to the story without bogging the player down with new mechanics.

Has anyone had a glitch where your subjects status keeps changing so you can’t renegotiate your Overlord Status. It’s happened four times on the same Empire for me. Keeps flipping between a Vassal and Protectorate. Also, first Impression, I don’t think the Overlord Mechanic makes you feel like you own them. Like they can refuse an agreement you try to propose to them. I’d though idea was you could make demands but loyalty would suffer. But you can only get agreements by consent; just like Federation or Galactic Community. I actually feel I have less control over my vassals right now.

Yesterday when I tried to create a specialized vassal the only option I could make was a protectorate. Am I missing something? I collapsed the protectorate but there were no indications on how I could change it and as i mentioned before they were non existent. Any help would be appreciated :)

You have to give them tons of research subsidies. If I want my protectorate to be another vassal type I give them a 75% research subsidy. They’ll eventually turn into a vassal automatically after hitting a certain point in research and then you can change to other vassal types. In my current game by giving research, alloy, and mineral/energy/food subsidies I’ve made one of my protectorates the second most powerful empire in the game over the centuries.

Overlord is one of the few must haves I think. It adds and fleshes out do much! Should it be gotten right now? Naw. Feel free to wait for a sale. Unlike Utopiathat both adds more, fleshes out and refiles the game, Overlord only adds new and fleshes out. Propably the second best expansion to grab sp far though.

The DLC does look rather promising, though figure I'll give it a day or three to see if there's any major issues. On the issue of UI, I gotta admit it's begun grating on me to the point where at times the game's becoming noticeably less fun for me, just because there's all these really obvious top-level user-experience things just sitting there, being minor aggravations that persist year after year. I'd straight up prefer to skip some new features if it meant getting fixes for the hot mess that is the fleet manager, the fact that many system icons on the galactic map (for megastructures, etc) are invisible and/or have incorrect on-click behaviours, oddly located buttons, etc.
