I didn't even THINK of that! Very good point.

Khaaaaaan?

@@Lathland I have a challenge for you Lathrix that will take you back to the gigastructural engeneering mod. You take the origin that starts you in an extra galactic cluster with a damaged ehof in a neighboring system. You are not allowed to leave the cluster or activate the primordial pillar until either an npc empire opens the primordial pillar OR one of the crisis has taken over the galaxy. No blorkats because they destroy everything but all the other crisis are allowed would even recommend multiple crisis so they can fight amongst each other till one is at the top. The only way you are allowed to contact the rest of the galaxy is after you build a sentry array megastructure.

Although I think they can be "too easy" with tech from another crisis. Scourge tech is really strong against the Unbidden.

@@bigbenhgy still sounds like a fun clusterfudg

@@oatmealpopcat2804 more stellaris is always fun. Sadly after the crisis there isn't anything happening in the galaxy usually.

Simultaneously? You're crazy. I like you.

Wh40k moment

Lath when it's 50 years in and he has half the galaxy: "weak start" Me cheering because I hit 1k tech in 2400: "let's goooo"

Na just play the game you get the hang off it with time and it's always fun to go into games mostly blind

Three hour tutorial? Not even close. Just set the game to easy mode and play as if it's an RPG. You don't have to be good at Stellaris to play it.

@@Poo_Brain_Horse My first game was the UN and I played like a federation builder, just basic Star Trek stuff, making friends, all that. Just to get an idea on how to play the game. On my second playthrough, I just said fck it and why not play like Tyranids. Most fun I've ever had lmao. Really embodied the "Genocide simulator" side of Stellaris

I only play stellaris occasionally, so after each 3-6 month gap, it can take up to three hours just to adapt to the new dlc, meta usw. if i want to beat x25 crisis but it is always fun

Just throw yourself in and react

Oh, what did they change?

@@HandsomeGamerGuy 2 years ago or so you started with a shattered ring with the OP districts. Your pops still had their normal planet preference, meaning you started with one of the best megastructures, could expand freely and only had to worry about rare ressources for district upkeep. The then nerfed the origin by adding a ringworld preference trait, meaning your pops could no longer really settle on other planets. Together with the rare ressource upkeep this made the origin essentially into a one planet challenge that was neither fun nor viable. Afterall you can't really maintain an endgame structure with early-game ressources. The current iteratation (atleast of the time the video was released) made the starting ringworld into its own special planet type, seperate from normal ringsworlds. Essentially they are normal planet districts but generally stronger. You can also colonise the 2 adjecent ringworld segments, though they need repairs unlocked through tech to gain habitabilty. Also you get the option to turn your ringworlds into normal ringworlds with megastructure engineering. Overall the origin is now way more fun, does no longer require rare ressources you dont have early game and gives you pretty much 2 planets in your starting system to settle from the get-go, perfect for a one-system challenge or generally a tall playthrough.

@@okto_0 Ah that makes sense, 2 Years ago i just played as Machines on it, and still had that sweet +200% Hab prefrence on anything and could just massively outskale anything.

@@HandsomeGamerGuy as machines you still get the +200% habitability because that’s inherent to machine empires. The difference is that ring world preference gives 0% base habitability on other planet types.

@@okto_0 so whats the recent advantage for ringworlds?

You forgot the end of the cycle its the best one...

​@Deadkridnapper if you ignore the time limit of 50 years

@@HandsomeGamerGuy got a good point

@@deadkridnapper1135 Then again you do survive that with the Exile Planet which will be destroyed last on top of that. So i guess you could powerspike that way.

haha Lathland make a liar out of you

@@germainsimada7591 ?

I put down as many as I could, honestly! The increase in influence cost the Further the planet is from your borders and since my borders were a single system they got VERY expensive! Almost 200 influence each by the end. Glad you enjoyed the video :D

@@Lathland Oh okay, I didn't realize it could be so expensive with distance since I've never done a single system challenge. Maybe it could be an idea for a future playthrough? A criminal empire that has only a handful of system but spread out in the galaxy with the ultimate goal of having the entire economy run on the criminal branches. (not just energy, but food, research, unity etc ...) Anyways, I'll wait patiently for your next run :)

Do you recall what was his 3rd civic pick? I am not sure it is visible in this long video :(. BTW this explains why I was constantly getting rivaled by one of the fallen empires when I was literally doing nothing bad and the game didn't bother explaining me why I was a rival for them...
