Most 4X games introduce a Spying mechanic through one of their earliest DLCs, but Stellaris decided to come late to the party. Let’s break down all Stellaris expansions from the newest one to the oldest one, and identify the core additions each one makes to the game. Truth is, all Paradox games are too “niche”, therefore those who enjoy them the most will probably need to get hold of every single expansion in order to get the most complete experience the game can offer. With each main expansion, they are adding new features, mechanics & systems to Stellaris, offering more variation & depth to your campaign in meaningful ways. Paradox Interactive is following a similar DLC strategy with all of their grand strategy titles, Stellaris being no exception.
