10 Video Games Where You Can Join ALL Sides At The Same Time
8. I Am The Senate! - Stellaris
Stellaris is one of Paradox’s grand strategy games, but with a unique science fiction spin. In the game, you play as your very own spacefaring empire that fights for dominance over the galaxy with other alien species.
Making alliances is a big part of the game, but being friends with every alien power can be tricky as the AI-controlled empires are bound to start wars with each other eventually, forcing you to pick sides.
That is, unless you have the Federations DLC, in which case you can simply pressure everyone into becoming your friends!
The DLC comes with several unique mechanics that let you force other alien factions into being your allies. You can either create a federation and incorporate other empires into it by diplomacy or force, or take a lesson from Palpatine’s school of democracy and become so influential within the DLC's Galactic Community that you first force everyone into joining it and then turn all of the Community’s members into your subjects.
Either way, you get all of the galaxy’s factions on your side and make sure no one will fight each other ever again.
Ah, it’s good to be the Senate!
