King of Tokyo Godzilla got released at the perfect time--I've never played a KoT game before and my kids recently turned 7 and 6 and love Godzilla, so I think they're in a good spot for KoT Godzilla. I already ordered the game, and I first came across the King Kong/King of New York expansion for the base KoT game, and then came across King of Monsters. I'm definitely interested in adding King Kong to our monsters list, and I really like cooperative games, so a King of Monsters variant using the Godzilla Universe monsters would be really nice.

I guess one option would be to buy KoT Monster Island, and I guess the Godzilla monsters are already compatible with it, but if iello already plans a KoT Godzilla Monster Island, maybe with monsters like Destoroyah or maybe Space Godzilla or maybe Gigan, that might be preferable, and I'm patient to wait given that we haven't even started playing KoT Godzilla yet!

I enjoy Stellaris, and I've played it a lot, but I always turn away from it because I really prefer grand strategy over 4x. I don't like the way that 4x simplifies having a massive geographic reach of control and the ability to send armies/fleets for years across incredible distances to paint the map without consequence. As such, I way prefer Crusader Kings 3 over Stellaris. But I love sci-fi strategy, I love tech trees, I love resource management, so I do keep periodically circling back to Stellaris, and I'm feeling that itch again.

So I already own quite a library of the major, older DLCs, the most recent being Galactic Paragons. I have Overlord, Utopia, Nemesis, Federations, Apocalypse, and a few more of the older DLCs. I browsing through DLCs for anything released after Galactic Paragons that might add more grand strategy depth but nothing jumps out at me.

Some things I'd really like to see:

• A planetary governance system, like Crusader Kings, where I just can't assert immediate control over a planet that's dozens of systems away.
• Supply lines for fleets, with a need to return to stations to restock.
• A warfare/expansion dynamic, also similar to CK, where taking a new system is a really huge deal--you can't just land armies on the planets, spend a month or so fighting on the ground, and then move on to the next system to steamroll. You occupy the new system, and then you work into a peace treaty that it transfers ownership to you, with all the hardship of now managing the planet.
