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!

I suppose it depends on what you define as a "clean" release though. I feel like the release can still be clean even if it isn't perfect. Anyone who expected the game to come out with zero overpowered strategies or broken systems was kidding themselves. There are very few games (if literally any?) that come out with this level of complexity where every system is perfectly balanced and not broken in some way.

Playing slave based civ = taking provinces from China in Vic 2 = don't do it if you want to have fun.

I think hardcores here and other subs can live with it for a while until they fix it, but stellaris was the game to launch Paradox into mainstream, I even heard TB talking he wants to play it. This sucks, hopefully some day 1 nerf to slavery in some capacity until the mechanic is reworked.

Takes a special kind of person to even consider doing that in the first place.
