My most recent game was a Hive Mind. I think I assimilated some 75% of the galaxy, getting right to the endgame crisis before the most recent update dropped. I've kind of lost interest in the save, partially because I played with Gigastructural Engineering and that updated with Machine Age as I was playing, so the save file is a little borked. Looking forward to playing with the Cosmic Storms and the upcoming Grand Archive, though.

I think I crushed two Fanatic Purifiers and assimilated the Great Khan, so you're welcome, the rest of the galaxy.

i love Stellaris but god i wish i could run large galaxies with lots of empires into the late game without the sluggishness.

also i've never tried a Hive Mind. i need to RP hard to keep my interest and it seems difficult since your empire is basically just you

i really want to try Machine Age because i love the idea of non-Gesalt sapient machine empires. i'll probably scoop up the new DLCs on sale eventually and give it another run when i get the craving
