17:00 "These poor, poor primitive just don't know how to run themselves! And we're here to help. God we're so kind..." *Britsh Empire vibes increasing*

Me: *About to go to bed on a school night* Lathrix, builder of the Skull Throne: "Oh, you fool!"

Because the dead sometimes want to conquer the galaxy too! Or something. Also, as I've been saying in the last few videos - Probably the last time I will paste this into the comments as things slowly get back on track haha!: Sorry for the video delays lately, lots of stuff going on in real life - Mother just had surgery which likely won't be the last this year, we may have to move apartments soon due to unforeseen circumstances and a load of other boring and depressing stuff! Should be back into the swing of recording by the end of this week! Thank you all for your patience! Fan Run Discord - discord.com/invite/cUWSMdW

The species that get macrophaged are doing so on their own accord, that's why people dont hate you, or are willing to do a migration treaty with you, the entire conversion (although heavily favored) is not a slave thing, it's a thing you choose to do.

I love the design of the necrophages ships

When he was talking about the new origin, and how it gives you primitive species, I was reminded of the Egyptian God Osiris, and wondered if he was inspired by a long dead empire of which we were a tributary. Just a thought.

Lathrix: *releases yet another fun and entertaining video* Me: *pauses disney movie and watches Lathrix* TFW lathrix turns off the entertainer jobs and then is surprised when the pops cant work them

8:55 "Maybe we lived in the Ocean to makes us even scarier" ... *lives on a desert Planet*

Thank you for the videos, I appreciate your dedication. I really hope your Mother is okay. I know how stressful that can be. My mother was in a bad car accident at the beginning of the year and that was incredibly horrid. I hope everything gets better soon lad.

Necrophage: can’t be a hive mine I know it might be difficult from a coding standpoint but i swear gestalt consciences have seen very little love origins wise

"Once every 10 years Nechrophytes are transformed into success" why does this seem like a multi level marketing thing...

Lath: I love this ship design! Me, an intellectual who who watched your From the deaths series : Of course you do, THEY'RE POINTY!

My guess is that the "success" infiltrated through parasitism. They then made a nutrient fluid thing, simulating the innards of a host(the fishtank)

YES i wanted to see more from you before I actually played with it and this popped up as I head into work. gonna watch this in my last hour then go home and play!

"Corporate Death Cults" is a weird way to say the American economy.

Boom boom, looking forward to a continuation of your panic run and a full playthrough of both of the necrotic styles

I’m happy you got out a video of this so fast! I’m also happy things are getting more back on track for you.

Necrophages: who are you? 40k necrons: I am you but stronger

Loved the video... Kinda bummed when I remembered that this wasn't a full playthrough! :P You're easily my favorite Stellaris YTer.

I love what you do, no matter the time it takes

Man, add a splash of illuminated red to those ships and you've got the Shivans from Freespace and Freespace 2.

Really looking forward to a full playthrough with these new lads

Nice to see that you're still uploading videos 😁. I'm here since the good old robocraft times

Honestly, these Stellaris videos always make my day, keep up the great work, and I'll keep feeding the algorithm as much as I can!

This seems really similar to Meat by Poppy. “Intergalactic savages landed here in 2033, having destroyed three planets before, the star force came to feed.”

game: has giant red arrow showing job has number of pops that can work it limited. lathrix: i can not possibly imagine why these guys cant become entertainers

Awwwww yeaaaah! Looking forward to Lathrix Necrophages.

I really like the advisor voice.

Lathrix: and as u know, we're the good guys. And so as with the death cult... xD i laughed so much wen u said this xD

Been waiting for this bad boi

finally the new DLC has arrived and my fav stellaris KZfaqr is straight on it. GO LATH!!

Wow I really like the new ship designs and the Advisor voice!

I’m getting this DLC. I love the portraits.

It just came out today Lathrix! xD

coming back to watch this after about 150hrs of the DLC... and that advisor... I thought it was just that she was new.... but she is still my new fav for the game. especialy using the Star trek mod playing as the Borg

You finally covered it!

Hey lathirx, i know that the next few videos will probably be about the DLC, but a suggestion for when u get back to stellaris mods are "plentiful traditions" but most importantly "gwen's additional playstyles" this last one is way too much fun. As the name suggest it adds completely new playstyles, like being able to breed space dragon to serve as your fleet, or beeing tiyanki herders it adds mainly civics and origins but i think you're going to love it.

Good work. Another entertaining video, a comment to you my good sir and my thanks

A new foe approaches!

Entertainer is actually the only specialist job that indentured servitude pops can't be.

at 14:00 indenture servitude can be any specialist except entertainer, but domestic servant can be, if you don't want purge them, after invading them make them servant for the 10 years of the stellar shock, then once that is over change it to what is your plan with them (resettling 2 necro for your colonists-->administrator

It seems like me and lath have similar taste when it comes to the word “adorable”, never thought I’d see the day lol

I would name the normal beings "Daniel" and the necrophages "Cooler Daniel"

that colony ship looks so dope

In this video, Lathrix teaches us how to turn Failures into Success.

Have you ever done a run where you aim for your main species to live in extreme luxury (like Chemical Bliss or just being of high work rank with a stratified economy) while you enslave every other pop you find? I've bene trying it out on a Gaia planet 1-planet run and it appears to be working so far.

glory to the undead lathrix!

I've always tried to make an empire similar to the Necromongers, from the movie: Chronicles of Riddick. Now I can! 32:07 - The strike craft sort of look like Dramiel frigates from EVE Online. wiki.eveuniversity.org/Dramiel

I have to agree with shipset. I started yesterday Corporate Death Cult with Gospel of Masses (fanatic spiritualist-egalitirian) and it's so far amazing.

Great video

We're gonna need to see that lithoid-necroid run!

i once read a ficcion tale: were we sleep because we have a parasito that evolucionp with us D: i loved the idea xd. And that we died while others species lived hundred of years

I dont know if anyone has mentioned it yet but necrophage fanatic purifiers instead of getting the unique building to convert pops every 10 years they get a unique purging option to directly turn other pops into the main species

Necrophage will make great Goa’uld, excited for new mechanics.

"Only in death does Duty end"

I may not have money but I'm gonna buy this because you are very right, this is very metal.

"A faliure is better then a sucses." Lathrix 12,020.

*OBVIOUSLY* the first full playthrough *needs* to be as Necrony as possible. :P

I think you should do a necrophage run with the Barbaric Despoilers civic. I don't know if it's good. But it seems on theme.

Love the necrophages

Awesome fun for Halloween

How I MIGHT have done undead armies to make them better in their own right... is probably that as long as you win your engagement, you get back ALL your undead soldiers. Something along those lines... Something to make them worth that civic. Heck there are tons of ideas you can go with (for example maybe they are immune to the effect of bombardment, maybe they are free defensive armies you get for just having necro pops making your own planets difficult to defeat, Maybe the building you make them at gives far more amazing bonuses and can upgrade, maybe the civic ALSO unlocks a undead slave type race you can "clone"). . The issue is that there are just so many ways to get soldiers AS good (if not better) than the undead army that don't require you to use up a civic point... and it isn't like having an amazing army was something difficult to pull off (Honestly, you can do the entire game using just base soldiers). The only plus is that they laugh at psionic warriors, but then again I believe machine armies do too.

Try out the Expanded Stellaris Traits (I think that's what it's called) its got a trait called "Last Children" which gives a minus 200% growth rate mod. It gives the most trait points back out of any of the traits in the mod, costing -8 trait points.

that colony ship looks like the Wraith colony ship from stargate atlantis.. who were a necrophage of sorts..

Hello! Excellent gameplays. Can you make a beginner's guide on this v2021 game?

These ships remind me of Vasari ships in Sins of a Solar Empire.

3:06 Bruh I had to listen to that again. I thought Lath said "Ah fuck no let's go with Jeff"

you should try neco lithoids ;) live bonus is crazy :D its like having immortal leaders that can live everywhere :D and with an rapid breading subspezies its amazing

Necrophages are so much fun to play.

I seriously love those ships. They remind me a bit of the Hive from Destiny (which fits incredibly well)

helps out the channel

Once mysterious disappearances have happened for over 50 years you'd think the others would catch on.

25:00 yes. Yes, Authoritarian Necrophages are fantastic for aggressive warfare and production. And blowing through the tradition tree, even when not spiritualist is easy. I'm playing Fanatic Authoritarian/Militarist. My galaxy was *much* nastier than Lath's. (2 Purifiers and a Determined Exterminator, for starters). But it's still been fun. The only things to watch out for are Empire Sprawl and managing Consumer Good output as a Memorialist. Because both necrophytes and Chroniclers gorge on CGs. 38:00 Yes. Yes you can use undead swarms to conquer planets. They accompany my xenomorphs.

I dont know whether you saw or know it, but the undead armies use energy instead of minerals to create. I don't think it's a big deal, but it is an additional difference. It might be interesting for merchant guild civic focusing on trade value.

The colony ship looks like a deadly seed , I love it

Lithoid+Necrophage+Purifier is so much fun, and very powerful at the same time imo. Any chance making a play through with that？

I'm all for a lithoid necrophage playthrough!

So slowbreeder is good as it doesn’t apply but fleeting and slow learners are even better for your prepatent species.

Honsetly now I'm curious to how the xenomorphs and the necrophage could work... the xeno's was such a fun empire.

Thanks for the video:) And Lath, why do you stop using tiny outliner mod?

Necrophage: keeping planets clean of rotting waste!

I realy like the necroids mechanics.

Undead Living Stone! ...god that'll be fun.

Lithoid necrophage is amazing!

Such a cool origin. And the way you played it is way better than what I did (barbaric despoilers and try to kidnap all the primitives. It takes way too damn long, I'm talking years of bombardment. Invading is much better.)

the necro portraits are separate? darn

Is it just me or did lath just invade earth in 2220 in December, dammit lath we cant take anymore this year

I'm on Xbox thinking about getting the dlc, which one do you think is the best?

Thinking about it, the robot ascension perks are very much a way to beat a necrophage empire - unless they can turn robot pops into themselves as well.

The ships give me a real "Chronicals of Riddik" vibe

Lath, the dread encampments _do_ allow you to recruit undead armies. or it does in my game. Unsure why its acting up for you though.

You also have a memoriaslist version for hiveminds

The Wargammer references make me smile

wow this is a cool dlc :O

Have you ever thought of playing the New Horizons mod? It's so jam packed full of awesome, it really is.

In space no one can smell you rot

All shall die, that no one need die ever again.

Undead Armies may suck but the Dread Encampments are pretty good. Research + Naval Capacity is nice.

wait I thought there was also a new machine portrait?

Yeah that’s what I am talking about
