Why be tall or wide when you can be tall AND wide

[Sy-jzeq]

When you are playing tall, remember to leave unoccupied systems for megastructures. Spamming habitats may force you to steal systems for megastructures, and it probably wont be at a ideal location.

Subterranean Mega-Corp is my favourite way to play tall. You have access to unlimited minerals, which in turn gives you access to unlimited Alloys, then add to that the market, and voila, you're snowballing before you know it. Branch Offices do the rest.

Before the habitat rework I would have argued that spamming habitats is not playing wide because you would still have dozens of "planets" within your little corner of the map
But now that we're limited to one per system that's no longer an issue

Aquatic is very good for playing tall. Your pops inherently produce more base resources, you can get to 100% habitability faster, and most importantly, the Hydrocentric perk lets you expand all your ocean planets (which is usually ALL your planets) 3 sizes very cheaply.

I’ve had no idea about leveling up planets omg thank you

[Maadhawk]

Fun fact: put that tier 10 ring world to "Ringworld" designation and get a MASSIVE 71% bonus to pop growth, and a 40+% bonus to all job production. While you can't specialize a ring world for alloys to the degree you can with an Ecumenopolis, you can sometimes match the sheer productivity, or even exceed, that productivity with that generic "Ringworld" designation and level 10 ascension. That is because the Ecumenopolis bonus is tied to the planet's class and not its designation. So ascending an city world doesn't build on the 20% productivity bonus of the planet's class.

note: branch office increase a little bit the empire size, but definitly worth it

Number 1 priority for me when playing tall is building matter deconpressor and dyson sphere. After that every empire is the same economy wise.

I tried playing tall several times, but it always end the same. A system that's just outside the zone I had in mind that's too good to pass or an archaeologist site shows up so I expand. Repeat until my borders are large

Challenge: Play tall like this but without vassals.

[Matoro]

Tall + Wide = "It's not just big... It's large."

[Sepaedius]

One of the other viable strategies for playing tall is to actually be a Bulwark vassal of a more powerful empire. You get a very large resource stipend for your sugar daddy overlord which scales as your bulwark tier increases, and your military can scale up with the bonuses you get.

The free tech options are pretty nice too.

[fipse]

Definitely giving this a try next time I play. I got quite tired of Stellaris because during the endgame I have so many worlds to manage.

[alexthomas]

Now tell me how to be tall in real life 🙏

[MRDRK]

Thanks for the updated 'how-to'! I've actually been playing a style I call 'The One Sector Project'. No development or colonization more than 4 jumps from your home system. While this might still seem like a largish territory, it really comes down to RNG and luck if the systems in your range can be useful. Especially in large and huge galaxies with more AI empires, having just one sector to manage as your territory is a simple restricting guideline to help minimize your empire size/sprawl. It also means you don't have to worry about having many science ships, because once you've researched every anomaly and archeology site in your territory, you can either decommission them, or keep one or two to assist research if you have tech worlds.

jokes on you i already always take mastery of nature cus i like maximizing planets

[dieselmech]

I always play so tall and wide that you could call me a whale.
