We are the divines themselves, our takeover is for the betterment of the majority and the galaxy at large. Do not resist. What do you mean the last video was 1 of 2? Clearly you are mistaken, It's always been 1 of 3.

2 days ago "1/2" today "There is another"

Lathrix: This time I'm gonna divide this into just two parts! Still Lathrix: Ok this is going to be divided into three parts!

Likes for the like god! Comments for the comment algorithm!

>Empire sprawl 17 over cap "Our empire sprawl is pretty terrible right now" >looks at own game where it's at average 400 over cap I came out to have a good time and I'm honestly feeling so attacked right now

would be fun to see lathland used the Gigga builder mod just to see how crazy he would build

0:10 Lathrix: I swear, I'll make it in two parts. Lathrix by the second episode every single time: On second thought... Don't worry though, the more content from you, the better!

Hey lath, if you are ever doubting if splitting up the runs loses our interest don't. This is THE BEST stellaris content out there. Haven't even started watching and already I am having a better day

Still waiting for the playthrough where Lathrix opens with: "This is the fifth video in the trilogy of four."

Lath at this point, maybe you should just do part 1 of ? when a new playthrough is in progress xD

In regards to your question about trade routes, the best way I found to handle it in the late game is to build a gateway in my capital as well as gateways in as many of my systems with planets as possible because the trade then get collect through the gateway as the capital becomes within one jump of every system with a gateway. If you do this with a couple of stations fully kitted out with hangar bays need a gateway then you can essentially eliminate piracy within your empire since their protection also passes through gateways.

I love these playthroughs, every time he plays it's his favourite empire and he just has so much fun.

I have always loved the way lath really gets into the psyche and lore behind his empires, but man that *they tell us to* whisper sent shivers down my spine like nothing else on this chanel has.

Likes and comments for the algorithm gods! May the KZfaq overlords bless this video with success. I have been loving this series. All of the Stellaris series are fantastic. I hope they do well and you continue making them! Also, I had a great run with the Nu-Baul precursors and my favorite thing to do was colonize really good worlds that had low habitability and then transform it into a Gaia world. It allowed for really fast expansion early on.

"it's really enjoyable, it's highly decadent and it's just really really fun" I see you're staying true to Tzeentch, good good

_When you see the original video title change from 2 to 3, you know that your going to have a good week._

Lathrix, you're my hero. I've been trying to discover how to make a viable Megachurch build and you have shown me a great light. Burdened by glorious purpose, I have begun to convince the xenos that commerce is king.

Goodness this is like the trade Federation or banking clans from Starwars.

I love Stellaris videos on here. It’s why I actually bought Stellaris myself and it is so much fun, especially with some of the mods like giga-engineering.

Also in every new empire lath plays is most of the time the favorite empire he has ever played So my question is wich is your favoritest ?

45:00 - It's only a golden age because of Lath's colours isn't it? 55:00 - Yay for selecting your crisis!

Lovely! Just finished watching the last one. Thanks!

"You know, we don't need to destroy everyone.... it's a radical thought, I know." - Lathrix, 2020

Your roleplaying makes these videos so much fun to watch!

I'm loving these super long videos!

You should do a Restorers run. Basically your species starts out on a Relic world (tnks to the origin) and are intent on reclaiming their former glory, which means turning their entire empire into city-worlds and ringworlds. Ring worlds provide the food, city worlds provide the advanced materials. The challenge is to turn literally every planet in your empire into a city-world asap while also building enough ring worlds to keep your population well fed (i.e. you must have Nutritional Plentitude active at all times) and ensuring that the empire becomes the most powerful diplomatically and militarily, despite the Crisis appearing in 2300 or earlier.

Super great video, always love these!

if you gonna add a mod for your next playthrough i would also recommend, the more events mod, dynamic events mod and origins extended. the don't change the game in any drastic way they just give you more options and a bit more content to play around with. love the stellaris videos and recently gotten back into it myself as your videos are always an inspiration, just when you think you've seen it all, Lathrix comes along and does something so fun and mind blowing it makes me want to pick up and play the game

Your Stellaris videos are so fun to watch and is by far the most chilling videos I know of. Please don't stop these kinds of videos as they are perfect chill-content for saturday nights :3

I love your videos, keep going man, I am addicted to your playthroughs, keep it up, only lots of love watching you conquering the galaxy time and time again :)

Love these as background while working.

these videos are just incredible. Thanks for you work

Love you lathrix, I enjoy your content.

Oh god I love how these videos have the habit of turning from part 1 of 2 into part 2 of 3. it's glorious

So much for trying to keep it to 2 parts ;) Not that I mind, I am loving the longer, more detailed videos on the playthroughs

You don't create vassals... You take a controlling interest!

I just got Stellaris thanks to it being on sale and with your series on it. Actually playing the game gives me a huge appreciation for how much time and effort you put into these, it's absolutely bonkers, Lathrix

Honestly it's been a while since I have commented, but these vids are so much more fun to watch than most stellaris content I have watched.

Thank you for all this content!

I love your videos it makes me sleep so thats good And your content is a rare sight

Me: Man I love Lathland Rulers: Man, I love Lathland Specialist: Lathland is Ok Worker: Man, I hate lathland! Perfect Happiness.

Love these series. Keep it coming! :)

You are such a chaotic entity. I LOVE IT.

Contingency all the way! Because you yourself admitted to it being the hardest several times. And if you're so inclined the mods for endgame crisis then triple spawn is also an option there;)

Your Stellaris videos in general are great but these long form videos are great while I'm working.

im just sad that such a good youtuber only has an avg of a tenth of subscribers watching at a time. Honestly deserving more for all the effort and passion lathrix puts into everything i know no one gonna see this but its something i found necessary to say.

always love those videos !

Hi, I too am a habitat addict. Its starts in the morning. That encrouthing itch. The ever growing void... Which I need to fill with more habitats !

Turt Lads: Sees planet Prophet "And we shall make your city a planet, and your planet a city"

OK. This is the funniest playthrough... I can see that You really like this empire.

literally just finished watching the entire first part, perfect timing

If you have a gateway in a system with a starbase full of strikecrafts, the piracy suppression applies through all the other gateways (and ditto for trade stations), so you really only need one. All hail the magical teleportation thingies!!

10:59 that was weird, lathrix asmr

Really liking this playthrough

Support in comment form!

So, three parts after all. Great!

I prefer these videos way more than tousand of 20 min videos. GJ keep doing it.

These are my favourite Stellaris videos on YT.

Woah, quick follow-up! Clearly proof of the prophet of profits!

Wow you really went nuts with the habitats.

I'm not gonna lie, I miss the Casj cactus Combine

These are my favorite Stellaris vids because you cut most of the boring early game. 15 x 30 min vids is what alot of channels do and it sucks. I love what you do, and will go back and like all my watched vids of your Stellaris series!

Devouring swarm Lathrix waiting in the L-gate as the next crisis!

Once you have Gateways you do not need to have multiple Trade Stations, you can have just 1 for the whole Empire. Trade Value is transmitted through Gateways, but it is also Collected through Gateways (and Wormholes and L-Gate). So if you have a Trade Station with a Gateway it will collect upto 5 hyperlane jumps from ANY Gateway (or 6 if you have the Hyperlane Register). And Yes Trade Protection extends through Gateways as well.

Thanks for the videos!

The Scourge is to Lathrix, what the Unbidden is to me... XD

Episodes starts, he cuts to intro and the madman fucking said it. Profits of prophets gotta love it. Comment for the algorithm lads

OMG, two Stellaris videos in a week!

I love these so much ❤️

Keep making these videos i love them

Gave me some new tricks to try out in this game, thanks!

Yess the parts are multiplying I think 3 episodes are perfect!

Next episode : Megachurch | Part 3 of 4 | FULL PLAYTHROUGH! Planet Cracking to make ring worlds in habitable planet systems in every system!

Just got to the 7:40 mark of the video, but I may just write here because I may forget later: I do love your Stellaris videos, sometimes I do rewatch some full playthrough, probably because they're more action and event packed. It doesn't matter how many parts it is going to be, if it's enjoyable it's ok. Miscalculations happens to everyone, but in this case it's OK because it means extra interesting content about this run ;) EDIT: and now, back to the video.

what the turt lads say they are: the divine species of god. what the turt lads actually are: money hungry turtles

Well i guess i can still stay awake 1 more hour

Hey love your content !!!!

0:07 Oh no what a tragedy

Lath, remember last time when I said the AI usually ethics counters me? Current: 800 galaxy, 24 ai+4FE+2 marauder, gospel fanatic xenophile reg spiritualist corp, 19/24 is some form of materialist or xenophobe or both. That's around the usual average of what I get countered by by the ai.

Sounds like the global pacifier was used in the geckos. Sounds like a fun idea to play as. Lath should easily figure out a good empire for that. Imagine making it so everyone must come to your world's or forever stay isolated. Never to enter their empire again.

these video's are amazing

I'd love to see a contingency fight. the balanced nature of their ships with the distributed nature of the machine worlds makes for one tough endgame crisis. The unbidden would also be interesting. the scourge has been almost anti-climactic the last couple games. pickets and strikecraft just tear them apart.

More please these are awesome

I really do love this empire

Love it! How are ya lathie-boi

Love ur videos

Ha, have you ever played with the Global Pacifier option for the colossus? Since you love habitats, you should know you CAN build habitats over the society-research generating shielded world. It's VERY satisfying for a Rogue Servitor run, where rather than invading/destroying those that threaten your biotrophies or who refuse your protection, just protecting them from themselves and everyone else...and then building a place where you luxury laden biotrophies and drones can point and laugh at them from orbit.

Honestly lath, between the two crisises, I think the contingency will be more fun to watch along side a machine empire or heavy synth based one

Need to do "Part (insert number here) of 2 to 6. lol. Love these vids.

Lathrix has once again blessed us with his apparent inability to count to 3 until the last minute!

"Lathrix was too greedy to let go of that fotage." Which is good. Glory to our video creator!!!!

Cruisers are highly effective mid-game stacking disengagement chance. They have good health to fleet power and disengagement. They're the best choice economically for fighting superior foes that *will* take out part of your fleet. By the time your repeatables are so high that nothing can one-shot your battleships and nothing survives to get a second shot the battleships win.

Definitely interested in seeing more than just Scourge, but don't care which. Just want to see more Stellaris!

Made a 1 hour remix greetings video Xd Love ur stellaris videos

I think you get the scourge so much it because you don't have the time to build up the modifiers for the other crisis because the game roles the dice so early the chance that the scourge spawns is so much higher than the others

Who here wishes they could meet lath in real life, I think the best thing to say would just say good job, I mean they have done soo much for youtube over and over, alright I'll be honest it was a comment for the algorithm but I do really appreciate how much lath has done for us :)

lathrix, if you want it to be better for the channel, if you split them into 20-30 min segments, i would not complain!!!! I love these and want whatever helps you keep doing them

Lathrix, Lathrix Lathrix. Obviously you need the Crisis Tri-Attack mod, so you can fight ALL THREE crises on 25x difficulty, you silly willy.

Arcology can be constructed in the early game, you just need to do those city district housing upgrades as Anti-grav engineering is a requirement. To construct or repair a ring world you need Mega Engineering, the RW tech or a ruined one. They replace habitats and food worlds rather than forge/industrial worlds. Then wait decades, so building them is possible only in the late game after fully building another Megastructure and taking the perk. These happen too late in the game, you can simply use many mining/research worlds and habitats. I use arcologies often on my homeworld, but it's part of Megacorp DLC, without that you need Fen Habenis or capture the materialist capital. The growth bonus, huge capacity and slot efficiency, makes it very beneficial. If you are sneeky you do Mastery of Nature decision to a smallish forge world adding districts and capacity during the construction or after without having to ever build the districts.

Take my like, you give me endless Stellaris content and ideas. More Stellaris please! Would love to see a heavy War based economy run. constant invasion total greenskin kinda run or convert them to become you next invasion force.
