“I don’t even know who you are”

Aeternum: "Do you know how little that narrows it down?"

second catch's gna be the blokkats

@KCP KA2 I am losing the ability to see them as a threat

I was playing two days ago and the unbidden spawned about a year before my nemesis bomb was done I didn't even get to kill them because my bomb went off :(

Own a hyperweapon for galaxy defense, since that's what the devs intended. Four crisis break into my galaxy. "What the shroud?" As I grab my reality perforator and QSO. Blow a star cluster sized hole through the prethroyn, they're dead on the spot. Draw my nicoll-dyson on the compound, miss them entirely because their system is untargetable and nail the neighbors capital. I have to resort to the systemcraft in orbit of my capital loaded with existential erasure beams, "Tally ho lads" the beams shreds the compound and the unbidden in the blast, the subspace shock set off alarms in every station. Charge jump drive and jump the Blokkats. They bleed out waiting on the reinforcements to arrive since erasure beams are impossible to stitch up. Just as the devs intended. from the gigastructural engineering discord :)

I see this as a mix of Jaws & the scene of the guy 'fishing' in the lake in the A-Team movie. Big fish comes up to the boat looking for a snack & the fiaherman tosses a grenade down its throat. Which is also kind of like how Ernest Hemingway helped hunt U-Boats in the Atlantic ocean, now that I think about it.

@@dystopia72 "F*ck you fart cloud" *Gives you atoms only to take them away*

Thats some good roleplaying

Good old fashioned spite.

my civs would've gone full bulwark, collapsing into one or two systems. The rest? Planet and mooncraft. Let the universe fall, let them try to destroy us. A thousand mooncraft for a systemcraft loses resources for them.

@@cewla3348 A thousand mooncraft leaves no room for more mooncraft (unless you are playing on a sizeable galaxy (which means you are insane))

Ah yes, the Germany lesson. Push a whole civilization to the brink, and they start getting _creative_

There's also the blockkats

throw in the blokkats there too and it's a free for all by the end xD

the basegame really needs more endgame crisis

Bro made a battleroyale in stellaris 💀💀💀

have a player empire that runs crisis, vs all the other crises... whoever wins, everyone else loses...

Microwaves will always be in my thoughts.

Alderann just blocks the death star laser with tutaminis

Yeah same. I love the idea of devouring swarm, but i end up dying so quickly due to me not understanding how to play it, same thing with void dwellers

Both

Lol I will literally play multiplayer with you if you wanna learn other empires

@@Ecco_The_Dolphin alloy/tech rush with void dwellers is broken as hell. You basically speedrun getting alloy nano-plants for the broken extra alloy production and focus on getting a secondary species you can use to colonize worlds while you're ramping up alloys

@@Ecco_The_Dolphin To be fair Void Dwellers is probably one of the harder ones as a beginner. Not a lot of districts and buildings, and to get more Habitats earlygame, you need quite a lot of alloys (with the industrial district being worse than other jobs because it only has 2 instead of 3 jobs).

Either I missed something or there was an actual glitch, but I'm pretty sure the very first warning I got for the Aeternum waking was the "they'll wake in like 5 years, good luck bub" message. No 20 year warning. I had all of 1 planetcraft ALMOST finished. I ended up falling back, using what fleet I had and fortress systems to slow their advance while I kept my EHOF running constantly. Managed to move all of my primary population (our "resident" subjects were...less of a priority) to the cohesive systems and began packing it full of megastructures while the entire rest of the Galaxy got eaten until I came storming out with something like 15 planetcraft and an equally absurd number of moons and retook the galaxy. Most recent time, they woke up to the 3 systems leading to the rest of the galaxy having 2 fully upgraded Maginot worlds (well...one system had one full Maginot and 6 Asteroid defenses) with 2 Planetcraft in each supporting them, and another 6 planetcraft as a quick reaction force ready to gateway to any one of those systems.

​@@chrisc1140 I left a lot of detail out from my initial comment, but one of the leading factors in my recovery from their attack was my cohesive cluster and the EHOF. I had a hyperstructural assembly yard in the cohesive cluster with a gateway heading to the same system as my EHOF. I used it to spam arc lightning/arc emitter battleships (optimised for cost reduction), which I then fired straight into lone Aeternite fleets. I kept that up until their larger ships had fewer escorts, at which point I ran over them with better versions of my spam ships, serving as my Imperial Armada. I did the same to 2 of their planetcraft, and as I had none of my own, used those to basically sponge the damage from Aiondia's defence systems while the rest of my navy's arc emitters slowly chipped away at them until they crumbled. Meanwhile, my juggernauts (I use a mod to increase their limit) pumped out construction ships to sponge even more damage. The land war was very uneventful. I landed over 100k worth of troops, which ended exactly how you'd expect.

Old comment I know but yeah, similar thing happened to me. Didn’t know what to expect, other than I knew they had a shit ton of fleet power compared to me. Missed the delays and slowdown toggles as well, but I figured having 4 asteroid defense platforms and a star base with a combined 1.3 million power, and then 4 fleets with 3 attack moons worth another 1.5 million would be enough to stall until I got 2 Behemoths running. I figured they’d only send out 1 fleet in each direction in the initial wave to clear out the 3 systems connecting to theirs. Not only did they not just send 1, they sent 4 barreling at me and killed my defensive setup in about 15 seconds. By the time I recovered, they had eaten a third of the galaxy, including almost half of my empire. I had even stupidly placed a lot of my megastructures near the center and they were lost. I’ve pushed that game to the side for now until I decide I want to return to it.

@@clark2501 That's a rough turn of events. I think your best chances would come from either cutting them off using a Nicoll-Dyson Beam, using a Penrose bomb to take out their fleets (requires a black hole chokepoint), or hold out as best as you can until another crisis rears it's head (I'd reckon the 2 other end-game crises could put a serious dent in Aeternum, but then you'd have them to deal with. I don't suppose you'd have enough of a military or economy left to skirmish them in shieldless systems like Pulsars, but that's where I'd try to strike. That, or wall myself in by shooting my own chokepoints with a Nicoll-Dyson and only using an EHOF to move about. Best of luck to you either way.

@@zetarhythm3503 oh yeah, that was the plan. Then I just realized the Blokkats were on their way so now it’s gone from maybe trying it to likely never getting through it. That galaxy is likely done lmao.

What do they do? I’ve never seen them become an active participant in the galaxy. They are always just there taking up the space.

@@rhyssmith4218 they are sitting in the center od Galaxy,when they aweaken they going to rampage and try to conquer all galaxy

@@rhyssmith4218 they wait until enough time has passed then they expand like crazy and try to take over everything. If you take them down you can colonize and explore the birch world. "Exploring it take forever and a stupid number of resources but it has a unique system of exploring and a number of random events you can make choices on and get things like resources or entire species of populations to join your empire depending on your choices and the way you set up your expeditions.

Agreed.

Actual plot armor in Stellaris, truly amazing

But it cannot save it from DEV MODE.

I was wondering if there was a way to kill it but I guess you can't 😭

@@mirceazaharia2094 The actual dev himself will hack your game at that point. If that fails they just break into your house and hit you with a solid steel Blokkat

@@killer-ll4pn the worm loves us, and always has

Tell me more

I think it's the mods called more birchworld origins, but with the exception of the hull/sheild for you ships I don't think you can get any of their tech with it (I never could)

Gigastructures now have a birch world origin

@@kerbodynamicx472 had for a long time, like several years

without that debuff you will not keep up with them

then look at lux aeternum, who can't be debuffed, have tech better than blokkats (though lower buffs and the ships themselves aren't as good), can make unlimited pyskofabricators and start with 3 ships that are roughly systemcraft level for each tech tier (the ships are from a mod that adds many other tech tiers above vanilla, lux aeternum requires said mod and uses the second highest tier [the highest is just obscene and like 10x the second in terms of strength]) (like double durability, but less damaging as no erasure beams) with said better than blokkat tech (said ships also have instant jump drive recharge) they awaken instantly, and more.

Wait how did you build outside of your territory?

@@nicholasthompson6152 The Aeternum only controls Aidonia and the systems directly adjacent. The black hole and other 2 systems can be surveyed and claimed

I too wish to see more stellaris in the future.

Most tend to fight only when victory is certain run when it's not.

@@nicholasthompson6152 I was not saying lathland was unwise in his tactics. I was saying, as someone who is not very good at the game, and can't spend massy amounts of my econ on the systems the mods add to weaning the crises, they are about 100x more powerfull then what lathland experiences here. The aeternum he faced here for example, were nowear near the strength they should have been, and he missed out on some of the more interesting macanics as an result. That and the desperate scramble to protect the galaxy, wish can be quite fun.
