Stellaris: Aquatics Species Pack

Perhaps the granddaddy of grand strategy games, Paradox Interactive (a publisher and developer with a powerful current full of fantastic grand strategy titles), recently released the Aquatics Species Pack for Stellaris, available on Steam, GOG, and the Microsoft Store.

Many strategy gamers (myself included of course) have been looking forward to the implementation of a sea-going species, since there are many types of water-based planets in the game. No better way to populate your ocean worlds with aliens that can finally dwell beneath the waters, right?

Additionally, the free 3.2 ‘Herbert’ update from the Stellaris Custodian Team launched recently, expanding the base game and improving several previously released expansions.

The Aquatics Species Pack will provide fans with a full fishbowls of new fishy cosmetics, origins, civics and cosmetics. This expansion is available to fans at a 20% discount for this week, so jump in – the water is fine!

In all, the Aquatics Species Pack includes:

New Origins:

Here be Dragons!: This ancient mythical beast stalks your home world, its deep sage-blue scales orbiting your humble kingdom. Your relationship with this proud creature will determine the lengths she will be willing to go to either defend or destroy you… you’d be wise to avoid displeasing it.

Ocean Paradise: These peaceful civilizations lead a peaceful life in a bountiful environment. With no natural enemies as well as food deposits and bonuses, enjoy unhindered growth and opulence.

New Trait – Aquatic: When species evolve to thrive on ocean worlds, they’re also the stereotypical ‘fish out of water’ on others.

New Ascension Perk – Hydrocentric: When you spend most of your time underwater, you figure out cheaper and faster methods of modifying your environment. Terraform planets into oceanic worlds, or make them bigger by harvesting water from other planets. Build the sandcastles of space!

New ship set with a sleek look, designed to help you yacht your way through space.

New Aquatics Dragon: A new, majestic space dragon will now grace the stars.

New Advisor: Sail the stars alongside the Seafarer advisor voice, inspired by high-seas adventure fiction.
