You’d often find yourself micromanaging your spooky peeps to go back and forth various planets. Regarding the former, it does become a little tedious due to all the pops that are transformed into Necroids. My only gripes are related to the micromanagement and advisor voice. Perhaps you’ll have some luck roleplaying as a traveler of the stars offering a chance at immortality? Given that, you’re free to check out various combinations like being a Pacifist, Egalitarian, or Spiritualist empire, democracy, or even a corporation.

I mentioned using certain combinations of species, traits, civics, and whatnot, but Stellaris: Necroids Species Pack truly offers more room for experimentation. I personally wasn’t too giddy about this since Stellaris is predominantly about spacefaring exploration and ship combat boosting armies was never truly a focus during your campaigns.Įxciting experimentation with the Necroids Species Pack This allows you to recruit undead armies.

Lastly, the Reanimated Armies civic replaces your military building and turns it into a Dread Encampment. Death Chroniclers even help with your unity and research.

Think of this as Aztec sacrificial offerings… in space. Both help increase research, but your Mortal Initiates can also be sacrificed in return for empire-wide bonuses. The Death Cult civic (available if you have the Spiritualist or Fanatic Spiritualist ethic) lets you have Death Priests and Mortal Initiates. The three civics introduced in Stellaris: Necroids Species Pack are Death Cult, Memorialists, and Reanimated Armies.
