Giggles the third awoke, stretching his tiny wiggly limbs making a cute sound of happiness from the long nap. He made his way of his comically oversized but cute bed, landing on the corpse of his last night's bedmate. It was QUITE a night and today he had a busy day ahead of him! He wobbled across the floor humming to himself happily as he managed to climb up to his terminal and turn it on. "Let's get to work! yay!" giggles did an enthusiastic air pump with a wiggly limb and began to order his troops to destroy and quell any rebellion in the Happy town on the homeworld. Dissidents are not happy! Giggles gave a few giggles as he finished up the paperwork on how to fix the demands from the people of him stepping down. The nuclear mushroom cloud in the distance showing the result of their demand. Giggle's was so busy!

So a squishy demonic plague of adorable little sadistic creatures that stab and eat each other for fun and their leader is named giggles the third..... seems legit

"Whilst they giggle and gurgle they stab each other in back." That, and rapid breeders... This is sounding a lot more like Slaanesh than Khorne.

*BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!!!*

It is the return... Of the CUDDLE MUFFINS

RAGE, HONOR, WAR, COURAGE, AND MOST TERRIFYING...... CUDDLES!

Also "Its a doughnut of death" is one of the best saying out there

So what you’re saying with these adorable slaughterers, is that Nurgle created something kind(ish) and loving to spread joy and potential diseases until Khorne introduced to them a sharp piece of metal?

are you telling me that our space ships CANT DO MEELE??????

"Pwu-yoo!" (trans. "MAIM! KILL! BURN!!!") 23:00 -- Those aren't colony ships. They're assault rams!

I'm gonna need a meltagun for that heretic

Pacifist module failing... _Your breathing is _*_so_*_ loud_

Please build a fortress world on a chock point and call it cadia Remember the planet will break before the guard does!

Plot twist: “Giggles” means “Lord of Death and Destruction” in Bloodbound language

Most insane start location ever? Talk about having a choke point, one going almost half the galaxy :D

Look at their mouths, with that I made them a devouring swarm and called them “UwU we eat U :)”

Let’s just see how cute we can get them to be! *Barbaric despoilers, The Bloodhounds, Post-apocalypse, Khorne’s Throne*

21:05 Huh, that's one long *Hyperline* Seriously though, that is one heck of a protected starting area. Nice roll. :D

LATH REASSEMBLELY HAS A DLC GO PLAY IT AND SPREAD CHAOS.

I love how whenever someone plays as an evil empire they always chose the cutest portraits

0:47 the way it waves its hands is adorable.

Every time I play as the cute little starfish aliens, I always seem to make them a Devouring Swarm.

What a good start and...... (Xenophile voice)ohhh no file corrupted OoOoOoF Hehehe

Him. Slightly amorphous, xenophobic, post-apocalyptic creatures who may go down the cyborg route. I think you're creating Daleks here.

“Lasers, fuel, and minerals. everything you need for a balanced diet” -Lathland

Rapid Breeders, Fleeting and Quarrelsome So basically Life on Pandora?

The universe liked your galaxy center so it put a ring around it

MILK FOR THE KHORNE FLAKES like if u remember

Oh. It's a squishy toy. *Squishes Giggles III.* Oh my god, it squished on my galaxy map! And it's spreading!

That portrait is so adorable I just had to use it for my Brain Slug necrophage empire, where I'm both secretly researching the nemesis tree while also beloved in the Senate and hoping to become the Galactic Emperor before reaching stage 5 and begin eating stars.

It's the didgeri-donut-of-the-damned! Also Lathranx if you want a galaxy type that has alotnof choke-points you should do a playthrough in a spiral 4-armed galaxy. Trust me, it's actually kinda good

11:42 "Hazardous weather, natural beauty". So it's Florida.

Once I was playing devouring swarm, and one xenophilic pacifist empire had this portrait, even calling my swarm "friends" in the first contact. When I declared war, they answered "But w-why?". And I devoured then. All of them. The women. The children. Even the men were friendly. I haven't been able to forgive myself ever since.

Mastery of nature did used to extend the size of your planet... It gave you between one and three more tiles, now it gives you the same amount of district, but since districts are more powerful than old buildings, it did boost the ascension perk...

Best Thumbnail ever What do ya know, im playing stellaris when this came out

Thank you, Lathrix, for another amazing video, you made my evening much better:)

So, I just checked the Wiki... Apparently no matter your level of tech it still is worth building a science nexus as it gives a permanent +15% research speed. So even if your tech barrels out of control like last vid it'll still be an interesting option. Just wanted you to know. Keep on making awesome vids, love your channel!

See, even the game likes the Bloodbound because they are just so cute. It couldn't possibly give them a bad start. They must be protected.

After watching the Lobotomizers series, I'm hooked, and this new one is absolutely brilliant. I swear, Lathland has inspired like half my custom civs.

3:21 Giggles lll is like "Come if you dare" :p

10:34 Oof, pollen poisoning.... Considering allergies, that's an agonizing death, holy shez

Adorable(anime) + No Retreat/Death or Glory(Bushido Code) = You know what

The planet in Diadem is in the perfect location for a Cadia style fortress world!! :) Oh and I really hope that you find Bubbles! The cutest amoeba ever!

Stellaris 101: If it looks adorable, they see you as deplorable.

Is that a pular chokepoint I see? Those are absolutely, terrifiyingly powerful if used correctly.

KHORNE MASSACRES *THIS LIST IS INCOMPLETE* *_YOU CAN HELP BY EXPANDING IT_*

I can only see cuddle muffins darn it aspec

What scary evil aliens? I don't see any. Just some adorable looking stars waving sharp tools and weapons, that's all

The Bunkerbot gives you a L-gate insight if you let it finish while knowing about the L-gates.

You should buy the Humanoids DLC. It adds a more Advisor Voices, and a nice-looking Ship Set.

*inhales *H E R E S Y Y Y Y YY Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y* ps: nice video

The second you said you were trying to make an adorable empire, i knew something was up. Needless to say I'm not surprised.

i need more of this already

Sorry my friend, but primitives don't spawn new pops until you uplift them.

You mention alto about not finding other empires, but you set it to 600 stars and 9 other empires.. not surprised you find no one for ages.

Fuck yeah bro im always waiting for a stellaris video man. thank you.

MORE STELLARIS! THANKS LATHRIX!

Imagine encountering this civilzation and going "Oh they're so cute with their babbling and gurgling noises" and then they nuke your planet

This is reminding me of my most recent game. Got a full quarter of the galaxy locked off just by cutting off chock points.

18:18 is why I love Stellaris. Terpenes are the scents and smells that come from the Cannabis plant. THC and CBDs are in the Cannabis flower. Essentially, they are talking about a planet that produces space weed and keeps everybody high all day. Well... at least I think. I haven't played that event chain yet.

*FILL THE GALAXY WITH DEATH AND CUTENESS!!!!* *BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD THRONE!! CUTE SKULLS FOR THE CUTE SKULL THRONE!!!*

This lets play brought me into the lathgang

The color choice is funny

Is it just me or does the galaxy look like an eye? Full of terror. LATHRIX WHAT ABOUT CALLING THE GALAXY THE EYE OF TERROR?!?

Damn @Lathland and I thought the old Cash Cacti were evil! These guys make them look like monks!

*To avoid a potential apocalypse on khornes throne.* is already a tomb world

"Y HALO THAR, WE R TEH BLOODBOUND! WE WISH TO ENGAGE IN AGE OLD BLOODBOUND GAME, DAT LIL BAVI PULAY IN DA PLAYGROUND WIF U! WE HOPE U LIEK TO PULAY!" - Prerecorded message sent to some ancient alien empire by some entity known as "Teh Bloodbound" before the entire empire mysteriously ended.

Lathland: "Because sometimes you gotta be adorable to be evil." Me: "Cozy Glow. In a nutshell.

*"Evil has never been so cute..."* (sounds like something from a B movie I've heard of. . . ?) XD

Literally 12 blocks away fires are roaring, it’s hell on earth and I’d rather watch lathrix than run

No retreat indeed! Khorne doesn't care from whence the blood flows, only that it flows! Also, untill yesterday i thought this is indeed a best start ever, untill i rolled a starting location such that with mere 2 chokepoints i secured myself a good 1/6 of the galaxy, with all the rare resources and huge planets i could ever want or need. Oh, and did i mention that i also had L-gate in my safe space, and one of the chokepoint systems also happens to contain of a stable wormhole leading right into the juicy fallen empire territory so endgame tech is at my fingertips as well?

i like your videos, you sound like such a geniously happy guy

When latherix said coincidence I sad I think not

you legit started in a cradle

Mastery of Nature always gave more areas on planets, up to the max, but now its rather more useful, if less powerful.

Mad jelly of that beautiful line of systems. Bastion fucking central XD

The game isn't protecting you, Lath. It's protecting the rest of the galaxy from you XD

so i see that you forgot about the wormhole other then that they would only have one way in well keep it up looking forward to more

Im choosing what series i want to watch I see this I click it

i saw this seven min after it came out and now that the video is over all comments are 45 minutes old i love it

the bunker bot thing (i think) third option gives free l-gate insights a few years down the road. just FYI

I didn't even know you could rename your factions... Thank you ❤

You just made intergalactic genocidal sour patch kids

0:53 IT WAVES

Hey Lathland, You say you play the hardest difficulty, yet what's up with keeping AI aggressiveness on normal? That aside, love your commentary, thanks for all the hard work and keep it coming.

“Who’s a little fertile thing” this made me laugh so hard I cried lol

You know what i would have one of the Bavi as like a plushy or something

I had head phones on full volume during the intro.

“Let’s see how adorable they can be.” *Alien turns black and red and the background turns dark gray AND they are called “The Bloodhound”*

*Stellaris gods* let's give him a fantastic spawn. *Lathland* the end game crisis won't reach me! *Stell gods once again* for your ignorance WAR IN HEAVEN

If you leave the Bunker-Bot alone all it will do is give you an L-Gate Insight in ~100 years, so it's better to just consume the thing

lath turns into a dictator

Someone told me letting the bunker bot eventually gave you L-gate knowledge. But since I don't have that expansion, I don't know for sure.

Oh boy. An entire species of adorable psychopaths. Sign me up

when life gives you lemons-BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!

Thank you for shopping at Megacorp.

YOU WERE TOLD NOT TO FEED THEM AFTER MIDNIGHT!!!!!
