Wash that down with new civics, precursor narratives, anomalies, archaeology sites, techs, edicts, a new Ascension perk, and new galactic community resolutions.

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, I thought: no bother, like. Everyone has different skills.

Enter spacestrategy story-spewer Stellaris, specifically, it’s spost specent spee-LC The Machine Age. It adds many options for your space civs, most of which I’m too rusty with the ever-yawpening sandbox’s myriad nuances to appreciate. But what's this? A new origin that lets you play as techno-religious corpo-cult obsessed with transcending the limits of their meat prisons through cybernetic augmentations? I recognise that from toys! Let’s do some clicking.
Nexus 5X aims to take the 4X grand strategy experience found in Stellaris and condense it into a smaller, faster experience, all for a low price. It mostly succeeds in its mission, making it a great game for anyone who wants to build massive empires without the massive time commitment.

Choosing the right tradition in Stellaris is extremely important. And while it's typically dependent on your build, there is a good rule of thumb of which traditions you should even consider going with. We've put together a Stellaris Traditions Tier List for the most recent Machine Age expansion and 3.12 major content update.

Stellaris: The Machine Age 3.12 Traditions Tier List
The recent Stellaris: The Machine Age expansion changed up some Traditions, as well as performed some balance changes across the board. While most builds remain relatively intact, some traditions are a lot more useful than others compared to previous versions. Here's our updated Traditions Tier List as of the Stellaris 3.12 update:
S Tier
Statecraft
Supremacy
A Tier
Discovery
Harmony
Unyielding
B Tier
Domination
Enmity
Prosperity
C Tier
Adaptability
Aptitude
Espionage
Expansion
Mercantile
Politics
For the most part, you're going to want to stick with the traditions in the S Tier and A Tier, as they are viable enough for most builds. This means you should always consider going with Discovery, Harmony, Statecraft, Supremacy, or Unyielding.
Domination is a solid early tradition for Lithoid Slavers, but not useful for others. Enmity works against certain opponents but is also useless in others depending on the build of your rivals. If you have three rivals each focusing specifically on Economy, Research, and Military, Enmity allows you to gain the benefits of all three. Of course, this isn't a common scenario.
Prosperity has typically been one of the best Traditions in Stellaris. However, as of the Machine Age 3.12 update, Prosperity has been extremely nerfed making it nowhere near as viable as the traditions in the S and A tiers.
All of the traditions in the C Tier are extremely lacking at the moment, making them poor options when considered against the alternative options.
If you were to buy every Stellaris expansion and content pack separately at full price, it would run you £227.62. To make that perhaps a little less daunting, Paradox have launched an optional monthly subscription service that gives you access to all the expansions. They've done this for several of their other grand strategy games before. It starts at £8.50 for one month then offers discounts for longer terms. While I can see niche uses for the option, I certainly wouldn't want to pay for this
