In a reality where the age of free movement seems to be dissolving like a loaf in a pond, it feels good to remind ourselves that hugely different peoples can live within a single, prosperous society without succumbing to in-fighting or scapegoating.īut now we’re the refugees. A democratic haven for migrants, undesirables and refugees, where former fungoid slaves can mix with short-tempered reptiles and horny insects, yet where all pull toward the same goal. Taking inspiration from the recently released Utopia DLC and its update sidekick, my goal is to create a peaceful sector of space where all are welcome. That’s a problem for me because – this time - I am not playing a militaristic people. They come, seemingly out of nowhere, and lay waste to everything. If you’ve played Crusader Kings II they are a threat akin to the Mongol hordes. It’s just that they don’t want to come over without eating all my citizens like salted popcorn. It’s not that I wouldn’t welcome the Unbidden, a race of ultra-destructive galaxy-hoppers that have appeared to the north, into my established multicultural kingdom of 10+ species. I’m playing galactic strategy game Stellaris ( again) and I have a bit of an invasion problem. Wait, who are you? Oh, an aggressive inter-dimensional collective of carnivorous energy? GET OUT. Are you a titanic ocean beast of uncertain origin? Join our defensive military academy, you’ll fit right in. Maybe you’re a consumerist mollusc seeking some retail therapy? Then visit our pleasure districts. Are you a slithering conformist lizard looking for employment? Come and work in our power plants. "It will all take care of itself" – infamous Tortal saying
