Honestly the games are different and both are great I think DW U as a galaxy simulation and not strategy game Going on topic DW with certain few mods like DW expanded universe is great also makes the UI allot better and races don t look retarded any more (best for vanilla experience + bonus stuff that just improve the game)īeyond extended universe and unleashed extended II are also great mods that improve the gameĭW U is great game with mods that i don t see stellaris replacing it for me for a tleast 5 expansions Stardrive 2 is a mess even more then stardrive 1 at least we have blackbox mod for stardrive 1 which makes that game pretty great actually especially with something like star trek mod + blackbox exe + tims mod and etc Oh and most advanced weapons suck compared to your starting weapons except few like cruise missiles and disruptors (uber op) Yeah i am sure stardrive 2 is a better game with its AI where it has premade ship designs that are not only really crappy but because AI picks random technologies also could never even potentially get to advanced weapons If I had never played either game and got both of them a week ago, I'd probably be infatuated with DW right now, until and if Stellaris can gain the depth that DW can offer. Personally though, I find Stellaris more enjoyable because I've put a lot of hours in DW and it doesn't really attract me anymore. I also suggest you get a mod called "Extensive Universe and Improved AI" right away. I think he's probably one of the few people who can understand the intricacies behind the mechanics of DW. Right now, you might be better off with DW, but be warned that you'll probably need to watch a tutorial series on Youtube before you can actually play and enjoy it. Both DW and Stellaris are enjoyable games in their own right, and I suggest you try both. It really seems to me like Stellaris drew inspiration from Sword of the Stars and DW, but as is right now it goes wide without going deep. It even has a pretty amazing late-game crisis if you choose to play the story-line. Like ship graveyards with powerful technologies, ruins that can hide amazing treasure or great perils, strange life-forms, rare resources that you need to race with your neigbours to control. It might not have events, but the galaxy is equally immense, with many things to discover. updating ship designs usually has to be done manually, since the automation will only update whatever modules are already on the design but will never add new types of modules you just researched).īut aside from these negatives, DW can be a lot more fun once you get the hang of it than Stellaris. Automation mechanics are not that great, since they are always very sub-optimal and still require you to do manual work from time to time (e.g. Also DW is very unoptimized and has a hell of a lot of micro involved. Unless you are prepared to do the math and perform trial and error experiments you'll probably never learn to play the game on your own. Many things are not apparent how they work on first glance. DW suffers from a lack of tooltips and meaningful help beyond the basics. Stellaris might get better in the future, but right now it's ahead in two things that many people consider a huge obstacle in DW: The interface/graphics and how easy it is to learn it. DW is a better game than Stellaris in my opinion.
