"It is insane how fast our population is growing" Lathrix says while having 6 empires' worth of pop growth, per year.

Ah, finally, get to watch the newest video of Lathrix being the space "good" guys "You're LOYAL!?!" It's like the story of the dragon, where the civilization built up expecting people to go get fed to the dragon and built their civilization around it.

“You know, I know it’s horrible that we have to sacrifice a person every time a new baby is born, but I mean, think of it this way. We’ve had to deal with this for the past 5 years, it’s not like we can magically stop it from happening anymore. It’s an inevitable fact of life that we have to sacrifice a person to the infection every time someone is born. It’s a utopian pipe dream to not have to do that, so you know, don’t worry about it.” - loyal empires/subjects

Imagine waiting thousands of years to invade the material realm just for someone to close the portal all because they went around their 500m fleet.

"We're the good guys, trust us!" Ah yes, spoken like a true politician.

Mind Flayers are a Dungeons and Dragons creature. Basically aliens that eat brains, implant their larvae into other creatures to make more of themselves, and are powerful psionicists. Very Lovecraftian.

i get the feeling future lathrix hates past lathrix. Can't really blame him, I hate the past version of me. He's a complete idiot

Just wanted to say that the diplomatic weight stats are better for seeing fleet power than the pathetic-overwhelming scale. You can get an exact number for how strong they are, and how strong you are in comparison

Lathy: "I went a little insane during this one" Us: No, see, that was just you becoming more and more infested by your own creation.

"If you have enough dumb, you can be successful even in the face of brilliance."

57:37 I just love how exited he gets over wiping out the entire biosphere of a planet. Quite endearing

As a hive mind ourselves we really enjoyed this playthrough!

How would a hive mind worshipping slaanesh even work? I mean I can see Khorne, Nurgle or even Tzeentch but the Goddess of excess and decadence? For a hive mind? Maybe someone has an explanation for me? Also this empire is just the definition of Lathrixian 'Good Guys'. Making the galaxy a more beautiful and better place. Somewhat. Somehow.

Uploaded permanently this time. Much love big guy.

I can’t believe I’ve put 220 hours into this game without knowing this mod exists. Amazing vid lol ty

When I can’t finish the video, I let it run in the background to help out our homie

"Remember, Galactic Citizen - if you thrive, the swam thrives!"

*Reads Title* Me: *Repeatedly Smashes Exterminatus button with religious intent*

8:06 Regular pacifist can make claims on both Hiveminds and Machine Intelligence empires since the _"Impose Ideology"_ war goal doesn't work at with normal empires. Against Devouring Swarms, Determined Exterminators and other total war empires they still have the _"End Threat"_ Casus Belli.

These videos seem perfect for anyone in lockdown right now. They’re really long, Lathrix does excellent commentary, the editing basically skips through the video for you, they’re perfect! It’s like a podcast you can actually see.

Havent even watched and i know this will be a banger. Thanks for your content lath.

I'm very very happy. I'm watching more of the video, and I'm only getting happier. Today is setting up to be a good day. Or at least one I don't care about being bad

Your full Stellaris playthroughs are, without fail, a delight to watch. It's really a shame that the algorithm doesn't like them... I doubt it'll happen, but I really do hope that it'll be changed eventually so you can keep producing brilliant content without suffering for it!

i like the fact that latrix has (sort of) embraced Slaanesh, and at the same time i have a video suggestion for the slaaneshmas special.

Hi. I really love the mod. I was playing around with the new features and maybe a find an original way to use the Overmind Origin, instead of some kind of parasitic infections, the Overmind can be something similar to the Combine, so we have telepathic leader who exploit local resources and population for their goals, whatever they are.

Lathrix keep these long videos coming!!! I love the good old days of KZfaq where peeps uploaded 30min+ vids, you got to actually sit down amd watch some stuff vs the current 10-15min tops and nownu need to find a new vid... so please keep these long videos coming!!!! Please

Well i'm impressed, my computer usually starts to give up around 2k population, yours looks to have held out until 6k. That mod looks crazy, i might have to download it. I agree that the hive minds need better ascension options. They are powerful, but very similar to one another. Stellaris is definitely a series i want to see continued! :)

The enemy AI is serving itself up to the infection. Especially those nicely aged empires. On a more serious note, hope you are doing well.

I love the longer videos, I also love your mispronunciations, though if I recorded I'm sure I'd do worse. Hope you keep doing these, I like watching in one sitting, or just listen while I'm playing stellaris.

@Lathland This may be your best Stellaris play through yet. The joy with which you ravished the galaxy like some horrific Lovecraftian elder god just shines right through. It's like you didn't fight the endgame crisis, you were the endgame crisis all along. Stellaris should make The Infection another endgame crisis.

I just wanna say I love watching the full playthrough I watch a lot of youtube in the background while I play videogames and your videos I feel I can understand with out watching the screen as much and so these longer videos mean more laughing in at your schemes

Absolutely love these full-playthroughs. My favourite way to watch Stellaris.

For some reason, I want to scream "Worm Sign!" So weird, I know.

Love the video lathrix, thank you for making these. I never would have discovered This game if it wasn’t for your big full play throughs

These play through videos are fantastic, i have them on usually on a second screen in the background whilst working!! you're awesome!

Yaaaaay! I love full play-throughs of this game!

Russian Badger: *_LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE TYRANNIDS!!!!_*

Love this format. And love all of your videos man. Keep up the awesome work

Love your vids. Id always wanted a game like this but never knew it existed till i seen your vids a while back. Thanks for opening my eyes and keep up making these amazing videos

This looks really cool, The organic structures civic is one I really want to play with myself. I have some suggestions for mods for the future too: this is another Hive Mind mod! It adds less than forgotten Queens, but there are some cool concepts, and it changes a few minor mechanics of vanilla Hive minds. I imagine this could combine well with FQ steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2109180014 This one gives you mutually exclusive traditions, which I like, since it adds some RP steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2100928744 And this one adds espionage mechanics, which add to diplomacy. There's some updates planned at some point too steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2097903490

this is a comment it gives lathrix the ability to feed his toads

I love these full gameplay vids! Keep up the amazing work man :)

Amazing Vid. Just watched it completely - love it full playthroughs. Thank u rly much

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees I love this empire so much! Whenever I discovered this game I always wanted to play a Zerg like empire where I just eat everything and have organic buildings and ships.

Here to deliver my like as promised. Blood for the blood god.

Keep making full plays, they're my favourite part of the channel :)

im so adding this mod to my game! im glad you like making these playthrough vids, cause i realy enjoy watching them. ;)

Hey lath. Love the video, and just wanted to share something I noticed. I’m pretty sure subjects don’t get ai bonuses. Believe the game counts them as the player and they get no bonuses

A man calls out to the algorithm, "I exist" and the algorith did not care.

I waited this run so long! Thank you Lath, in was interesting to watch:)

I find it lovely that you continue to enjoy this awesome mod. It has been nice watching you.

Lathrix going insane in the first ten minutes. Must be a Tuesday.

This is a comment, it helps the the KZfaq algorithm.

Lathrix my man i totaling love these long videos. I watch these things live watching a full length movie and it stelaris, which happens to be my favorite game. PLEASE don't stop making these.

Keep making these extra++ long videos and I'll gladly watch every last minute of them.

Lathrix: "Hey there, future Lathrix here. I just wanted to tell you that this kind of vid---" Me: "shhhhhhh. You already have my like and command."

Also, technically a hollowed world with a planetary shield should be immune to orbital bombardment. -50% + -50%. I haven't tested this yet though. Like so lathrix sees, poor scourge. what are they supposed to do against that?

Thanks for making this! I love your channel!

Yah right after I finished my Japanese class you posted a video I always enjoy. Thanks for your videos they are very enjoyable and makes my day better when you post them.

The videos gets a like ,the KZfaq flagging algorithm a dislike

Love the full play through videos! Thank you for them!

thank you very much for making these. They somehow really help me in this weird time. :)

YES! I knew you’d do this full play through and i’m STOKED!!😁😁

Great that you are still doing these video's. Absolutely love them, hope you can keep it up eventhough they might not be whats financially best for your channel! Great stuff!

Love your long plays, keep them up!

thank you for always doing these!! love this series

Love these playthroughs Lath. Looking forward to the Giga one. :)

YAY! You fixed it! I wondred why it wasnt working, and I dont know but im happy that I can watch, thanks for making such great videos!

We love you Lathrix! Hope you keep doing these vids!

Love seeing Stellaris content on KZfaq :) I appreciate the effort behind this!

I love having long videos that I can just lie back and drift through for extended periods of time, even multiple days if I have a particularly busy schedule! So I have been suffering somewhat by the standards of the KZfaq algorithm. But therefore I also love your videos even beyond just their outstanding quality and comedy! So of course I will gladly like and comment whenever possible to show what support I can :)

Thanks for ypur great work with these cool long videos. I enjoy Stellaris and watching your vids give me the chance to se so many versins of it.

Awesome. So worth waiting for. Keep on posting these stellaris videos please.

Thanks for all the work you do on these videos.

Loving your Stellaris content as always, keep it coming!

I’ve seen Aspec covering this mod, i really need to try it when i get my pc fixed this week (need a new cpu which I’m getting tomorrow, also new ssd). Might I suggest you look up another mod on steam, which i think will compliment this mod perfectly: the Animated Xenomorphs species pack, literally Xenomorph portraits (that are animated), they have their own civics, city set, ship set (looks really cool), animated xenomorph portraits, and several origins, each of which starting you off on a different homeworld type.

Love this

Hey Lathrix! I’ve only known about your channel for a couple days but I love all your stellaris content! Its nice to be able to enjoy super long videos like this and it sucks that the YT algorithm doesn’t like how long they are.

just leaving a comment for the metrics, keep it up lathrix, i love longer formats!

Thank you for putting the time and effort, it shows.

Thanks for the video, always great fun to watch

This video made me subscribe. Wish I seen your content sooner bro! Good stuff. Keep it up!

I actually only watch Stellaris on your channel. So many thanks for keeping me entertained with this game!

I always watch these from beginning to end. Otherwise what’s the point right? Appreciate the effort you put into these types of vids. Keeps them entertaining and informative. And gives me ides for future playthrus Keep up the great work 👍

I watch all your videos, obviously do what’s best for u man but u the reason I play this game and I use it as therapy. Spent all day just watching your play throughs. Keep up the good work, there’s a lot of people that don’t comment but feel the same way.

Please keep making these vids chief! They're awesome

I love how dark you make your videos, it's extremely unfortunate that KZfaq can't run ads on the darkest bits.

Disgusting and amazing all in one, absolutely entertaining. I don't play any Stellaris, but these runs where you cut around and explain things are so good. Very enjoyable. Normally I don't like following the bad guys, but when it's so obscenely over the top, it becomes truly hilarious. And a 'benevolent' ending, too!

Yay Watching your stellaris videos is like watching sci-fi space films except the horrifying alien species always win And the videos always turn out to be nearly as long as full length films anyway Thank you

Thank you for making this video Lath, you are the light of my day. Imma watch it while eating my sandwich, I"m 100% it won't be gross at all

guud job lathy thanks for bein a great creator

Great video! Keep it going Lathland!

Leaving a comment for the stats, much love, keep them coming!

Most definitely checking out this mod, thanks Lathrix

After the first video showcasing this mod went public I began a playthrough using this mod Oh mama it is super fun! Thanks Lath and great video as always

Love these videos so much and this mod is extremely epic!

I love your videos and I'll always watch all the way too the end

Lovely Play through. Thanks for the showcase.

I love these videos, please keep doing them!
