Technocracy of Sol: "Amateurs!"

@@user-xw5xo3bv1n I just made a technocratic dictatorship with only 3 starting colonies and I had synthetic evolution by 2280, full ascendancy perks by 2300, and had conquered half the galaxy through retaliatory subjugation wars by 2400, my first ruler was the ruler for the whole game and is currently over 250 years old

I'm a complete noob to the game but its interesting as hell

@@xdanielxdt me to and I played the full tutorial and I have a good grasp on the game now

Because playable empires are designed to be role playable, you make the lore. The precursors and fallen empires, however, do have lore since they’re tied to events that can happen in the game.

@@DoesRocksFloat Yeah youre right. I dunno, i like rping more with my created empires and like trying to sorta recreate say the commonwealths lore in any way i actually can :p

I played my first game as the United Nations of Earth, then switched to Authoritarian Militarists, then pure Xenophobe.

I have never played as a non-custom empire either, don’t worry. Plus its more fun to play as a custom empire and it lets you be more creative.

When playing as megaCorp; I propose to play certain aspects of the game differently: 1. Go full on xenophilia; everyone is workforce, and the more varied the workforce, the more optimal setups and planets you can gain. 2. Clerks arent the worst job anymore. You want your trade value to spike; and you should really prepare and save enough influence to have your planet be the trade hub. 3. Neglect food and just buy it (seems the AI keeps overproducing it) and focus on credits and alloys

Maintain positive relations with everyone you can (Outside of other megacorps they are competition) Open commercial pacts with every empire t you find and put branch offices on their worlds to give you and them bonuses (your bonuses will always be better than theirs) Start a federation based around trade and make it so the empire with the most money is the president (so always you) Trade value = energy credits

You could also try playing as a criminal megacorp if you like screwing over your neighbors

Trade offices are stupid overpowered.

Already have one :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/orqUo7eEr9mpfI0.html

I have a video on some socialist empires that are mostly pretty peaceful and want to focus on trade and relationship building kzfaq.info/get/bejne/psVkdpRy05jdf2g.html

Pacifist empires gain massive defensives bonuses, you rush science ships and expansion so that you can gather as much land as possible (usually you want to make sure they are as 'chokepointed' as possible of course though, this usually allows you to get plenty of land and planets to remain competitive and you focus on building tall via megastructures, habitats, orbital rings, ringworlds, etc. I highly recommend learning to craft your own empires for these kinds of purposes though, it can be daunting when you first click the button but I promise it isn't even a fraction as complicated as it looks.

I miss those guys 😢

Why not? There is also an militarist version of it. I know it is hard to believe but most of humanity isn't that bad. Just because you see bad things on the internet doesn't it mean most people are bad. Because of the internet, you just can see much more things that happen in the world. And spoiler alert: bad news have more viewers than good news.

@@sagittariusa9012 Nah we are animals and will take advantage of our own people if the opportunity presents itself let alone aliens lol.

@@kane-111 And yet we move forwards closer to equality and have massive pushes from the richest and most powerful nations on earth to increase equality, opportunity, and living standards... curious.

One of my favorite ones Dhyss Ascendancy: Oligarchy Militarist, Xenophobe, Spiritualist. Remnants Origin. "The Dhyss Empire was once a galactic spanning empire that ruled benevolently, maintaining a galactic constitution that gave all life rights along with fair treatment. Many factions formed in the Dhyss Empire, some opposed to the empire ruling their worlds. After a galactic calamity, the empire collapsed from internal strife, with these various worlds leaving the empire in rebellion. The empire was xenophilic but was opposed to secession, and so a galactic war broke out. The Dhyss lost, and all were wiped out except those on the homeworld. The Dhyss were rendered Neolithic. After centuries of strife, the Dhyss had a second industrial revolution, old plans were found, technology improved, and the Dhyss finally found their right to rule. A text that detailed the Dhyss' fall from galactic rule. With this new found purpose a man rose among them and united the warring states, into a council to oversee the mandate fulfilled. This council rules from the Dhyss homeworld, until the Dhyss Empire can be reborn, but unlike their ancestors, this time they will not be weak, instead of appeasing, they will conquer, because it is their right to rule."

You mean like hitler and Mussolini? Also known as facism. They don’t talk about that.

@@gwynbleiddroach2589 they also probably don't know what fascism even is.

@@gwynbleiddroach2589 Mussolini is fascism. Hitler is national socialism. They're different things.

National Socialism is not Socialism.

@@mirromarnicco3162 Go on...

Capitalism kills

I mean, politics is simply how you think the world should work, and so good luck getting rid of politics from your life.

Also, this is a game about space politics. Ethics are your empire’s political views.

I’m with you, I just want to escape the political bullshit for a while. Apparently you can still hear politician’s lies, even in space.

you can't escape politics. because in the Grim darkness of the far future there is only *politics*

Good.

Indeed. A bit offputting TBH.

Yea like saying billionaires contribute nothing when the machine he used to make this content and play this game and formulate these opinions was made by a billionaire 🤦

He's not wrong is he

@@SteelUSA He's not wrong tho
