Montu plays will spare your planet because you promoted him in your video

I almost feel sorry for the Blorg as they jump into a Human system. Blorg: "Friends!" Human: "Ah hell nah! Man the guns! Blorg: "...Friends!?

The casual throwing in of Montu had me cackling like a small child. Or evil wizard... take your pick.

just remembered how i saw a primitive human race in a game, completely forgot about them for 100 years (federation wars, you know how it is) and then my adhd decided "wonder how the humans are faring?" went to their planet to check aaaand. tomb world. best part? 3 pre sapient pops left on the planet called "cockroaches" traits: survivor, resilient, and a few more. i actually had to pause the game to laugh I uplifted those roaches and boy did we have some fun times

imagine playing with the actual base empires and not spending 3 hours into handcrafting your own rp empire

The Blorgs is hilarious but cute at the same time, from declaring forced friendship war to proceeding to harass the human by promoting a ad similar to the ad in a suspicious website.

Had a game where the Sathyrelian Bliss spawned. I eventually Vassalized them and made them my Bulwark. They went from Fanatic Pacifist to Fanatic Materialist, eventually going on to declare war another independent empire in early game. I thought nothing of it, but between Mid and Late game I got bored, so I released them. They _immediately_ went Crisis lol. The strange thing was, I think they took the Crisis perk early on, but it never said "Aspiring Crisis" while they were my Bulwark. Soon as I released them, they probably had enough Menace to suddenly build the Engine and had enough firepower to actually stand up to me at times, because that's exactly what happened. Almost immediately the galaxy declared them a Crisis, even though _I was the emperor and didn't propose it._ Sometimes the game is just like "aight let's cut to the quick"

We need a machine empire that isn't out to mess with biologicals

The AI art here is of very high quality and similiar to the original portraits. I suppose you used the game portraits as reference. Well done!

For videos like these you should put time stamps. That way people can share them for quick reference. Just a suggestion to get those engagement numbers up.

I hope the Avians from First Contact are canonized as the Payback origin one and get a canon empire in the empire list when you start a new game

The Tzynn Empire was the UNE's sworn enemy in my most recent playthrough. So much so that they allied with the Commonwealth of Man, whom eventually became xenophile and joined the UNE's federation, a galactic union known as the Alliance of Free Star Systems (UNE, COM, Blorg, Scyldari, Glebsig and Jehetma). It turns out the Tzynn had formed a federation of it's own; A martial alliance of their vassals composed of the Maweer Caretakers and Voor Technocracy, . The two non-vassals in the martial alliance was the Kingdom of Yondarim and it's own vassals, the Kel-Azaan Republic, the Sathyrelian Bliss and Xanid Suzerainty. The Rototavuul High Suzerainty was the only member without vassals. This federation was known as the Tzynn-Yondar-Rototavull Compact. The long tensions between both federations boiled over when a Commonwealth patrol strayed in to Tzynn space. There was a skirmish between both parties, with indeterminate losses. Alliance envoys confronted the Compact in the Senate, ordering for their vassals to be freed and the martial alliance to be disbanded. Soon after, the UNE's crown jewel Alpha Centuari was besieged by a massive Yondar fleet carrying Tzynn ground forces. After months of bombardment, the Tzynn attempted a ground assault only to be shocked by stubborn human resistence consisting of a small UNE garrison with a regiment of Commonealth marines. Europa, it's COM counterpart was subjected to a scorched earth policy with every resource being either moved or outright destroyed once a joint fleet of Yondar-Rototavull fleet. However, instead of besieging it, the fleet landed troops straight away, suffering severe casualties in the face of COM defences. The colony was eventually evacuated, with it's civilians and military remnants fleeing to Earth. As the "Federation War" (aka the Alliance-Compact war) dragged on, the deadly XT-489 Eliminator that were observing, finally made their move from the far rim in to the middle of the fray with one purpose: Purge every single living being.

Possible followup: What is the history behind the Tzynn's unique hatred of farmers, and their worship of a strange state-of-being known only as "Esss Teer"? ;)

The Zynn were the first empire I ever beat in Stella's. I fought a 5v1 against them and their allies. I lost entire quadrants just to regain them a couple years later just to lose them again. When the first war ended with their defeat their home planet had created a separate empire and continued their horrid policies. I declared war on them again to finish the job and had another 4v1 war. I landed thousands of attack troops on their planet and to this day it is the largest ground battle I've ever fought. I annexed every empire in that war. Afterwards another empire in the other direction wanted some smoke so I annexed half their land. My ps4 couldn't handle it anymore though and I couldn't continue the game without crashes.

Blorg just need a hug 😢

ah yes the blorg will declare a war... of friendship

there is another race. Called the ASPECS (similar pronunciation to Aztecs) Some say they look like black holes.

I rarely play with vanilla empires. Mostly it's just me and empires that I played previously. Nice to know more about them, though.

You got me at the Hanar reference. I’ve ALWAYS thought that particular portrait looked like a Hanar 🤣🤣🤣

I've had this game for a while, but now I actually want to play it.

I make a totally custom galaxy and have built quite a lot of AI races so none of these appear. I made an empire called the Skin and Bones Emporium, for Necroids. They're more of a dual organism than a parasitical or undead creation. The Bone organism lays dormant for most of it's hosts lifespan, though can occasionally get restless leading to some uncomfortable rest periods, but are otherwise harmless to their host, in fact they form the entirety of the Skin organism's structural support. The Skin have an average lifespan of 75-100 years, and when they die, the Bone organism will be triggered to undergo a mild metamorphosis, absorbing the Skin's remains, before finally awakening from it's long nap. The Empire itself is Materialistic, Authoritarian, and Militaristic, but I've seen them rapidly flip into xenophile, after acquiring a few pops. I look at this path as the Bones deciding that they enjoy any skin, vs the Xenophobes deciding their original Skins are the only true Skins.

Fantastic work , keep it up! "I know learning about this xeno filth can cause mental and even physical revoltion, but to properly purge it, we have to understand their weakness. One day, you, as our glorious and pure young may march in victory against this scum that grows in the dark reaches of our galaxy. Never forget my students , it is us and us alone that are the only rightful rulers of the vast eternity between the stars."

I do really like the idea of all the pre-created Empires existing in the same galaxy. It makes for a really interesting setting!

Montu's mysterious legs are secretly more Montu torso!

I really like your style! The in - universe storytelling and descriptions are cozy and very interesting to watch, even without playing the gane myself

Ohhh, I never realised that the picture for the chemical bliss technology was a Blorg bodypillow, those poor little mushrooms hahaha

Love the video as always. Loved that you brought montu into the lore😂😂😂. Did you create all the stories or are there actually lore about the base empires?

The Voor were always my favorite!

Paradox should change the name of the Tzynn scripted empires ruler to montu 😂

The Blorg at 15:47 is awesome

nice to know that montu plays chanell is lore friendly XD

Alright take my sub sir, this has helped immerse me more into Stellaris instead of normally disregarding the non-custom empires tbh, thank you.

It was ABOUT DAMN TIME!

The Blorg: i know i am ugly but please love me.

The Blorg: Oh my goodness, hello! It's so nice to meet you! We're going to be best friends! Humans: yeah, uhh, no. Maybe tone it back a little we don't even kno... The Blorg: (rising sound of plasma casters charging) Perhaps you misunderstood.

Montu call-out had me laughing out loud

Another great video

I find it weird how lokken combine technocracy, meritocracy and democracy considering in the real world those are mutually exclusive democracy means rule of the people, meaning that rulers are selected by who has the most popular support which is at odds with technocracy which selects leaders based on who is the most academically achieved a person with great academic career may be deeply unpopular and vise versa

Hazbozel: crime intensifies GALPOL: I'm about to end this mans whole career.

empire: is spiritualist TRK: Perhaps they have rocks for brains

Omg the mass effect and montu references are awesome

great video

That Montu Reference just kills me

I am become Montu, the destroyer of worlds.

My first playthrough was with blorg, and I conqufriended most of the galaxy (in easier difficulty of course) until final crisis showed up

I just like being called a lord when watching these shows

yup yup still bangers

0:39 ok that made me laugh

My man really goes in hard on the spiritualists

These lore videos are cinema 👑

Good stuff, this is fun to listen to while painting mini's. Thanks for sharing. Have fun.

XT-489 is just ultrakill lol

Nice video

All hail Montu, Emperor of Tzynn, Lords of the cosmos!

Lore time babbeey!

nah you just roasted the blorg for a couple minutes wth

First time in my life I want to play as precreated empire

Lol mass effect reference commander Shepard and citadel

Nobody: The Blorgs: YOU GONNA BEFRIEND US AND YOU'RE GONNA FUCKING LIKE IT

There spiecies and empires in the the trailers with unexplored lore

ALRIGHT FINE. I’ll play Stellaris again.

This might be a dumb question but is it possible to make a machine empire that’s not a gestalt consciousness? Something like cybertronians from transformers?

The hive will remain in isolation

I can't believe Montu plays would do this... 😔

the XT 489 are pretty much just the geth from mass effect

The Custodianship need a proper lore to be remembered

Loving that reference to mass effect! I thought the same

18:41 That is because the Glibsig are BIG STUPID JELLYFISH.

why are you invading us? to be friend 11:00

I had to rewind to make sure you actualy said "hazboozled their people"

I feel like we should use the dome super wepoun to lock there planet into a invisibility sheild so they won't have to ever be scared to be attack

NO ROGUE SERVITORS?! *GASP*

My opinion is:Prey....

I have somehow never gotten a single one of these guys in one of my games… how do I get them in without playing as one?

"Who are they?" A threat to human kind

I love the blorg haha

They should make an anime adaptation would be cool

I always play United Earth 😆

What even is a Montu This is why I’m going to eat aliens though

Only 1 category: xenos Only 1 solution: Exterminatus Simple As

i know its pretty common on the stellaris community, but i feel uneasy with all these AI art

Is it me or the UNE and CoM were not included? :(

Kel-Azan republic for the win!

So rude to say of the Blorg. Didnt help their self asteem. All life is beutiful even the Prethoryn Scourge.

Hahaha Montu

You forgot the Kingdom of Yondarim

Fanatic xenophile militarist.... The Blorg sound kind of Woke.

Commie birds

i would love for you to do a video like this for the "Elves of Stellaris" mod as that acts like an unofficial species pack

Meanwhile me creating my own civilisation as militarist , xenophobic authotiarian state called the 1st galactic reich 💀

Your pronunciation of “Maweer” is frankly horrifying

Desgusting how many ads you put in your video

I strongly dislike the fact that you put 15 ads in your video. Do better

GLORY TO THE COMMONWEALTH!
