Faction Highlight: The Chinorr Combine
While the Chinorr might not be the galaxy's most attractive faction, the Combine boasts some of the largest and most successful corporations, all dedicated to securing quality, quantity and above all, profit.
This brings us to Stellaris Nexus's universal resource; Credits.
In-game, your two main resources are Support and Material, but when those run out, they can be substituted for Credits. Now, there are a few ways you can earn Credits that are universal across all factions; the Trade Edict, which supplies both sides with Credits based on your Trade Value. Or, if someone is trying to sweeten a Diplomacy deal, they can offer you some Credits to help sway your decision.
What's different with the Chinorr is their unique resource Corporations, as for each Corporation you have, you earn that many Credits per turn. This means that you can effectively pay your way for each action you want to take. Is your support running low? Credits. Not enough Materials for that Mega Structure? Credits. Want to get those ships on to Nexus this turn? Credits!
Having a steady income can open the game up and help you to grow your empire fast. But that's not all, as each faction leader gets their own unique Edicts. Such as the Mercenary, who has the Edict Mercenaries, which trades 1 Corporation for a 5-ship strong Privateer Fleet, perfect for that quick assault or betrayal. Or the Exploiter who gets Recruitment, which allows you to add 1 building slot to a planet you own for just 15 Credits. Allowing you to grow your economy without having to expand your empire.
It's not all smooth sailing for the Chinorr though, as their less-than-pleasant looks mean that in Succession Mode when you establish a Diplomatic pact, you earn fewer Succession points than the other factions. But that just means you'll need to make more pacts with more factions, which means more opportunities for Trade deals, and even more Credits. Just remember that you can't take it with you, so spend it while it's there.
The Chinorr are one of the most flexible factions in Stellaris Nexus and are great for players who enjoy a faster-paced play style, that is focused on making friends and exploiting people.
