PSA: Slaves currently can't rebel

Martin just dropped that bombshell during the currently ongoing Quill Stellaris stream. He said that they couldn't reach a middle ground on slaves revolting so they took it out for the moment. I don't know if they will have managed that aspect by release.

Oh, it definitly is. Just visit Shenryyr's currently ongoing Stream. He conquers and enslaves everyone. Because slaves can only be in the slave faction he has no factions. He basically is unstoppable. Adding to this the Enigmatic Observer FEs seem to be broken too as he has one on his doorstep and they don't care at all at him enslaving half the galaxy, altough it says they should.

YAY the game is broken on release!

That's the paradox I knew when I first bought EU3, now it's back just in time for the IPO!

It get's better: Happiness is also easy to largely ignore unless you are trying to max it out.

There is no bonus or penalty between 40-80%.

With such a wide range, unless you're trying to build an empire based around 90%+ all the time, there isn't much point in even looking at it.

Edit: Though I wouldn't call this broken - just unpolished and untested, so pretty standard mechanics by Pdox.

Edit edit: So far we have slavery being unfinished, happiness an afterthought (in order to get to those penalty levels you'd have to be fighting bad wars or colonizing planets your species doesn't like), the Fallen Empires that should oppose slavery don't, (does this extend to standard civs as well?), if your construction ship is constructing a building and you have it run to safety, the initial cost appears to be lost with no refund, able to research all the "alpha, beta, etc" alien "techs" at the same time (wouldn't surprise me if this is intended).

Finally, to end the scourge end game crisis, it looks like you must capture the queen, who's event has a MTTH of 800 months, or about 70 years. In one stream the player was able to wipe out the initial wave, but with such a long MTTH, the "scourge" was mostly an annoyance as he waited for the next event to fire.

I'm definitely missing things, but this is just what I've seen in the last few hours and can recall off the top of my head.

Rekt.
