Stellaris- Megacorp - Expansion Feature Breakdown
MegaCorp is the third major expansion for Stellaris. It was announced on 2018-10-24[1]. The expansion was accompanied by the free 2.2 patch (aka Le Guin).
Expansion features[]
- Corporate Culture: CEOs of a MegaCorp can conduct business on a galaxy-wide scale with a host of new civics. By building Branch Offices on planets within empires they have trade agreements with, the MegaCorp can add a portion of the planet's Trade Value to their own network. Using the new Corporate Authority, construct an economic powerhouse and dominate galactic trade.
- City World: With Ecumenopolis, players can increase the population density of core worlds to truly epic proportions, eventually creating a planet-spanning megacity.
- Caravaneer Fleets: Keep an eye out for the Caravaneers, nomadic interstellar wheelers-and-dealers who stay aloof from galactic politics, and always have a bargain up their sleeve. Expect surprises when these master traders wander through your space or when you visit their home systems.
- More Megastructures: Build a glorious Matter Decompressor, Mega-Art Installation or Strategic Coordination Center to acquire new scaling capabilities for your megalopolis.
- Galactic Slave Market: Buy and sell pops on an industrial scale, set them free or keep them as livestock.
- New Ascension perks: Keep an economy competitive in a cutthroat galaxy with additional Ascension perks!
