First Human Stellar Empire Redux - New Playthrough
« on: February 28, 2022, 09:05:32 PM »
My last little AAR series ended early due to my potato of a computer not handling NPRs all too well. I will however say for those that read through the few posts I made: the Canmore's lasted another two generations, we captured two Precursor Worlds, and the last emperor to reign before my potato quit - Hector II - nuked a NPR homeworld personally from orbit. Good times, good times. Now onto this redux of a similar theme.

With the release of Crusader Kings III's expansion - Royal Court, I naturally lost several hours of sleep playing and experimenting. I had a playthrough with a custom house that motivated me to convert my save file into Europa Universalis IV and continue on. The von Farenholm dynasty survived from 1066 through to 1820. But why stop there? I'm not too terrible at modding Victoria II, and converters never quite satisfy, so I basically did some light editing to bring the von Farenholm dynasty through the Victorian era.... and then Hearts of Iron 4 happened. Up to this point, the main "nation" of the dynasty was still quite monarchial. WW2 started in 1938 and ended in 1942, with WW3 starting in 1944 and ending in 1950. In both massive wars with massive death tolls, the main combatants were all of the *ahem* von Farenholm dynasty. Essentially, imagine real life WW1 except all the royals still carried the same family names and ties. Needless to say, the millions of dead would lead the world to perhaps not want a pure monarchy anymore.

What does this have to do with Aurora? Well, I'm continuing this story into the space age. I love Stellaris, but porting files from HoI4 never really works out that well and I think Aurora is a much better story teller anyway.

So on to the actual game this forum is for!



Starting Parameters:

# of Systems - 1000
Local Chance - 50
Local Spread - 10 (I like slightly tighter clusters)
Difficulty - 100
Research - 20
Terraforming - 10
Survey - 20
NPR Chance - 0
NPR Chance by NPR - 10
Ruin Chance - 25 (Cool RP moments, but I don't want to go overboard)

NOT Known Star Systems (I really like Aurora's random generation)
No Invaders
NPRs can spawn everything except Invaders
Add Commander Political Bonuses

Year - 2100
Starting NPRs - 0 (I have a pretty well worked out randomization system that I spawn them in with after exploring a little bit. I just like taking my time in the early game and RPing a lot, so it's annoying - but not game ruining - when NPRs either spawn in ridiculously overpowered or the starting one basically eats everything before I can get anywhere)
Minimum Sol Jumps - 4 (A lot of people have recommended more, but I think 4 is a really good balance)
Add Planet X (Gotta give Minerva some love)


Race Settings:

Human Stellar Empire
Human
Earth

Normally I would go with a conventional start, but I'm continuing the story of the von Farenholm's and beginning in 2100. So -

Det. 64
Dip. 58
Exp. 46
Mil. 56
Trd. 70
Tra. 5
Xen. 32
( I don't know how much any of the traits actually effect the game but I still like to RP with them. I am pretty sure militancy does something to protection requirements).

Population - 2b
Shipyards - 10 (Although I may SM some changes to them and/or add/remove some)
Research Facilities - 40
Con. Factories - 800
Ord. Factories - 100
Fighter Factories - 50
Mines - 800
Auto Mines - 100
Refineries - 100
Financials - 400
Maintenance - 200
Ground Force Complexes - 5
DSTS - 5
Academies - 5
Fuel-Build points unchanged


House Rules:

1. Part of my starting build points will be used to build "conventional" armies. Obviously these will quickly become outdated, but not as fast or as bad as an actual conventional starting force. They'll be used to represent various nations from previous games and eventually be colonial garrisons.

2. Fully Fleshed out and maintained OOBs for space and ground.

3. Researchers can always use up to 5 labs for a project, but only may go up by 1 per every 5 levels of skill. Example - Science Boy A can use 5/5, but he can only go to 6 once the cap is at 10.
5/5 good
6/12 good
7/18 good
6/9 bad
7/14 bad.
I've seen a lot of discussion on rp/flavor/mechanics regarding research and I think this layout works well for me. Research is still massively cut back, but this allows for focused and rushing of key techs when needed. All the while this system forces me to spread out my researches and use more scientists. More so with later techs when the number of labs far outstrips the abilities of my scientists.

4. Part of my initial research points will go towards a CIWS. Every ship (not fighters or FACs) will be required to have a CIWS, or PD Turrets for true military, as well as emergency cryo-transports. Theoretically, every ship in real life has some form of armed security and lifeboat collection capacity befitting the size of the ship. Obviously a little fishing boat probably doesn't have a bunch of armed guards or transport bunks, but a vessel with 100 crew transporting cargo across the pacific probably has both.

5. Planets that are being colonized can only use auto mines until they have been terraformed enough to drop below 1.75 CC. Local populations are permitted to work in terraformers and financial centers no matter what. Places like Luna and Mars will be quick, but Mercury will take awhile. This will force me to be more picky about colony development, outside of a few mass drivers and auto mines flinging rocks across the cosmos.




First Human Stellar Empire

c. 2100CE - ?

I remember liking the previous entry in this series so I will try to follow this new version as well.

Det. 64
Dip. 58
Exp. 46
Mil. 56
Trd. 70
Tra. 5
Xen. 32
( I don't know how much any of the traits actually effect the game but I still like to RP with them. I am pretty sure militancy does something to protection requirements).

DET/MIL/XEN have several in-game effects for various mechanics, often but not always based on the mean value of the three. Things like police requirement, surrender threshold, ELINT effectiveness, and other things. Usually these are fairly secondary or minor mechanics and you won't notice the effects, especially if the values are within +/- 25% of the middle.

DIP obviously affects diplomatic relations, and TRA affects how quickly you can learn an alien language, both of these can turn out to be quite significant and noticeable particularly for more extreme values. As far as I know, TRD and EXP are purely flavor although they may influence the NPR behavior.

Shipyards - 10 (Although I may SM some changes to them and/or add/remove some)

I always do this in a roleplay campaign, to ensure I can build and repair all of my starting ship classes.

Ranking Theme:

Army:

O-1 OLT Oberstleutnant
O-2 O Oberst
O-3 RT Reiter
O-4 SG Scholares Generale
O-5 PG Palatinus Generale
O-6 DX Dux
O-7 UNK Unterkaiserling
O-8 OBK Oberstkaiserling
O-9 CON Consul

Army OOB lowest to highest:

3x Line Regiments + 1x Artillery Support -> Brigade
3x Brigade + 1-2x Supply Convoy + 1x Engineer Company + 1x Field Artillery Battery -> Legion
3x Legion + 1-2x Supply Convoy + 1x Field Artillery Battery -> Corps
2x Corps + 1-2x Supply Convoy + 1x Engineer Company -> Field Army
1-5x Field Army -> Planetary Command
1-5x Planetary Command -> System Command
1-5x System Command -> Sector Command
1-3x Sector Command -> Imperial Marshal

The starting forces are set in a way that not every Field Army is at full strength and nothing above Field Armies exists yet. Can't really have system/sector commands when it's just little old Earth. Furthermore, this is limited by research. Pioneers (engineers) haven't been researched yet, same with Field Artillery (LB). The line regiments are based on a system of Infantry/Cavalry (Motorized/Mechanized)/Armour. Each regiment varies a little in overall size, with infantry being sub-9k tons and armour being just shy of 10k. The idea was that each regiment would contain anywhere from 2-4 battalions or simply exist on their own. Usually I go down to that level, but I decided to try something a little different this time. Essentially, imagine each regiment as containing anywhere from 2k-3k personnel and then translate that into vehicles/special weapon teams. A rifleman is literally just a rifleman, but a mortar team is one boom boom tube with a couple rifleman wrapped into one, a main battle tank could be anywhere from 2-5 people, where a towed artillery piece could be anything from 4-10.

Navy:

O-1 CLT Capitäleutnant
O-2 CRV Corvettencapitän
O-3 UCAP Untercapitän zur See
O-4 CAP Capitaine de vaisseau
O-5 CAM Contre-Amiral
O-6 UVAM Untervice-Amiral
O-7 VAM Vice-Amiral
O-8 AM Amiral
O-9 SKM Stellar-Kaisermach

I tried to blend German and French ranking themes as in the previous games the von-Farenholm dynasty was mostly German, but adopted a great deal of Frankish and later French culture. Add in a few dashes of Slavic and Norse and that basically represents what the empire eventually became. I added in a decent portions of large populations for the naming theme (like China and India). The US was never formed but I include that naming system as A.) I live there and it's recognizable/easier for me, B.) It holds a decent smattering of several other naming themes on top of the base Anglo set.

Imperial Census Report

01 January 2110

Twelfth year in the reign of Großkaiser Markus Felix XII von Farenholm

"Steadfast Honor, Hell or High Water"
Vom Volkssenat angenommen


By order of Grand Emperor Markus Felix XII, and the People's Senate, this survey of Imperial extent and might is hereby adopted.

Economic Sector:

Total Adult Citizen Population: ~2,335,000,000

- Steady and controlled growth over the last decade. Cities and industrial centers continue to grow, strengthening the Empire.

Current State of the Coffer: ~13,700 Königliche-Franken.

- Public funds dropped by 50% over the last decade. Civilian wealth remains stable, but if Imperial coffers continue to deplete this situation may quickly spiral out of control. Recommend expansion of current industrial capacity alongside financial center development and centralization.

Research and Development: 40 Research Academies and Facilities.

- No major breakthroughs in the last decade. Our science officers continue to work diligently to achieve glory for the Empire. Andreea Grigoriev is pursing what she refers to as "Jump Point Theory" and believes it holds the key to humanity's next step.

Royal Universities: 5, totaling ~2,575 graduates per annum with 25 qualifying for high posting.

- Unchanged per last census report.

Trans-Newtonian Mineral Richness: 5.33:47,970 tons per annum.

- Nearly a 33% decrease in output from last census. Minerals continue to flow from the Earth, but issues are starting to be felt. Neutronium, Corbomite, and Tritanium continue to increase in rarity. Field experts believe we will face a crisis soon if we cannot find additional sourced.

-- Scans of the inner and outer solar system prove to be less than exciting. Minerva, the far outer system, and the inner Oort Cloud remain unscanned.

--- Mars: 1.1 Accessibility -> Mercassium: 0.5/340k. Duranium 0.2/171k. Other minerals only present in extremely low abundance or accessibility. 

--- Venus: 1.0 Accessibility -> Vendarite: 0.8/23.5m. Other minerals only present in extremely low abundance or accessibility.

--- Triton: 1.2 Accessibility -> Tritanium: 0.4/846k. Uridium: 0.8/80k. No other minerals present.

--- Pluto: 2.9 Accessibility -> Neutronium: 0.7/83k. Corbomite: 1.0/212k. Tritanium: 0.5/345k. Corundium: 0.7/809k. No other minerals present.

---- Barring a few various comets and asteroids, Sol seems devoid of mineral wealth. Recommend immediate colonization of Mars and Pluto.

"Steadfast Honor, Hell or High Water"
Vom Volkssenat angenommen


By order of Grand Emperor Markus Felix XII, and the People's Senate, this survey of Imperial extent and might is hereby adopted.

Economic Sector:

Total Adult Citizen Population: ~3,160,000,000

-Colonies:
Mars: ~338,000,000
Pluto: ~1,010,000

-- Population of Mars has exploded. 50 terraforming installations are present on the surface. Request for funding to double this amount. Furthermore, the addition of financial centers and districts on Mars would allow for more taxes to be brought in for the Empire.

Current State of the Coffer: ~156,500 Königliche-Franken.

- The economic boom of the 2120s has tapered off. Public wealth is still at an all time high, allowing for expanded infrastructure and military spending.

Research and Development: 80 Research Academies and Facilities.

- R&D have successfully built gravitational stabilization engines allowing individual ships to "jump" or even "warp" to new stars. Locations of gravitational anomalies are being studied across the solar system. This effort is spearheaded by the Genesis II Survey Craft.

Imperial Census Report

01 January 2140

Fifth year in the reign of Großkaiser Albrecht Achilles VII von Farenholm

"Steadfast Honor, Hell or High Water"
Vom Volkssenat angenommen


By order of Grand Emperor Albrecht Achilles VII, and the People's Senate, this survey of Imperial extent and might is hereby adopted.




On 15 March 2135, at 1800 hours, Grand Emperor Markus Felix XII drew his final breath. Taking the throne at the age of Thirty-Eight, his reign lasted Thirty-Seven Years. His son, Albrecht Achilles VII, ascends at the age of Forty-Eight. Long may he reign!




Economic Sector:

Total Adult Citizen Population: ~3,659,000,000

-Colonies:
Mars: ~453,500,000
Pluto: ~1,110,000

-- Population of Mars has stabilized with terraforming efforts well underway. CO2 has been fully removed and O2 has reached target atmospheric pressure. Safe greenhouse gases are being released into the proto-atmosphere. Current estimations show a breathable atmosphere within the generation.

Current State of the Coffer: ~123,000 Königliche-Franken.

- The economy is stable. Grand Emperor Albrecht Achilles VII has given the order, with Senatorial approval, to expand mining and shipyard capacities in preparation for extra-solar colonization.

Research and Development: 100 Research Academies and Facilities.

- Prototypes for the "Stellarator Fusion Reactor" were completed in 2137. With this new reactor tech, Carolin Landsberg believes we are on the cusp of a new era of thrust.

-- Orbital habitation has been mastered and implemented alongside terraforming capacities. Mars terraforming is being supplemented with orbital platforms and processors.

--- Christine-Marie Høegh patented a new composite armor based on laminating several layers of Duranium into one piece. Much like the Lamellar armor of our ancestors.

Royal Universities: 10, totaling ~29,000 graduates per annum with 50 qualifying for high posting.

- No change from previous census report.

Trans-Newtonian Minerals have been all but depleted on Earth. Early scans of neighboring systems give economists hope for the future. Recommended colonization of Alpha Hydri-A IV Moon 8, Moon 17, and Moon 24; Proxima Centauri-A V; and Proxima-Centauri-A VII Moon 4.



Army Sector:

Following the 2130 Census Report, 5 additional Corps ordered to be raised in 2132. Accompanying Brigades, Legions, and Regiments being recruited.

Fifteenth year in the reign of Großkaiser Albrecht Achilles VII von Farenholm

"Steadfast Honor, Hell or High Water"
Vom Volkssenat angenommen


By order of Grand Emperor Albrecht Achilles VII, and the People's Senate, this survey of Imperial extent and might is hereby adopted.




Economic Sector:

Total Adult Citizen Population: ~4,205,000,000

-- Alpha Hydri:
Alpha Hydri-A IV: ~3,400,000

-- Arcturus:
Arcturus-A IV: ~880,000

--- On 13 March 2141, Humanity officially began its next step. Imperial shuttles entered the limited atmosphere of Proxima Centauri-A V, carrying with them the first extrasolar colonists. Humanity now stretches, breathes, and lives across multiple stars. Colonial growth in Proxima Centauri has prompted private industrial growth as well, with the Suszek Company founding a mining installation on an un-named mineral rich comet within the system.

Current State of the Coffer: ~40,000 Königliche-Franken.

- Public funding has been massively invested into colonial growth, as well as extensive military expansion. With new planets and stars comes the new demand for increased protection and military presence.

Research and Development: 120 Research Academies and Facilities.

- Carolin Landsberg continues work on a new tier of thruster, one she has dubbed "Magneto-Plasma."

-- Mars atmosphere now fully breathable with an atmospheric pressure of 80% Earth atmo.

Royal Universities: 15, totaling ~97,600 graduates per annum with 75 qualifying for high posting.

- Expanded education facilities in order to support bureaucratic growth.

Mineral wealth continues to be a major concern. With the development of extrasolar colonies, the pressure on Earth is beginning to be relieved.

Things are going well, if slowly, for the Empire. Hopefully we begin to encounter some alien races soon and we can play some fun games like "interspecies diplomacy" and "interstellar war".

I would like to know more detail about the ground forces doctrine and composition. We have Field Army -- Corps -- Legion and now Brigade Combat Teams, but don't know how these are composed and what the doctrine is to govern how these forces are deployed to battle, or maybe how these things maybe have evolved in the ~60 years of Imperial expansion so far?

I'm hoping to find some aliens soon too. As far as spoilers go, this is the farthest I think I've ever explored without bumping into precursors or rakhas. I still have never met the star swarm invaders are turned off to keep my computer from burning to death.

Next time I'm on the game I'll grab some screen shots of the OOB for my ground units. Overall then only "changes" that have happened, outside of expansion, was a reorganization of supply convoys and the introduction of engineers and long-range artillery.

Thanks for following along!
