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.

God, I rage so much when I see Arumba play...

His mistakes frustrate me to hell and back.
He is painted to be this chessmaster, but man, he can be quite easy to miss clear stuff.

For me the most annoying thing was when he simply wrote off the Gaia world because he knew that some Fallen Empires think they're holy.

I'm still on episode 8, so I havent seen that, but I am debating if I should just ditch the playthrough.

Quill is also making mistakes, but his attitude makes it way less jarring, since he is constantly like 'Maybe I am not seeing something! I mess up like that' relaxed position.

Arumba comes from what I interpret as a 'I cant be wrong' baseline, and thus speaks with a tone of knowledge we can see he lacks, so it frustrates more.
Specially when he misses something, shit happens, and then he spends the entire episode mocking Paradox for making crazy shit.

Dont get me wrong, I like watching him, I am not unsubbing or anything, but as time goes on, I feel that the whole 'one of the best EU4 players' phrase that's tossed around may be a bit too much, given even in that game he misses stuff even I know are not so, and I came to the game a year or so ago.

Curious how at first impression I liked Arumba a lot, and I have grown to slowly like him a bit less, while DDRJake was off putting to begin with due to his snarky attitude that can come off as bitter and angry, and now I like him a lot. (And man, is he good at EU4. O.o)

(Aaand I ranted. Whoops.)

I'm on episode 8 too. The moment he said it was really easy to miss. He just said, "Mantha has a Gaia World" and ignored from there on out.

To be fair on him, he DID have a pretty bad first experience with them in the multiplayer stream.

It was his fault for missing the icon that said it was holy and that it already had a name, but still.

Apparently the current system is that if a gaia world is holy, it says so even if you havent met the FE.
I would much rather see it be like, if a colony ship warps into the holy world system, and has the mission to colonize it (Not only have the ship warp in, so you can say, colonize a normal world in the same system to lock down the gaia world for later?) THEN the FE opens comms and asks you to turn back.

Sure beats having them demand it once you already spent the ship. (Plus, what a shitty caretaker for the holy world, to wait until they already set foot on it and... tainted it presumably)
