I appreciate the effort to maintain continuity in your own internal lore. I can clearly tell the narrator is the same person as in all the other videos, and you managed to make a first person story work through the device of a third party report being read.

I hope the next update adds more options for machine empires. AI cliches are no fun. You basically have 3 options; -Auto from Wall-E -Skynet -Borg I wish there was some path to becoming the Ancient Caretakers or something like the Bobs in the Bobiverse. Edit; the foreshadowing was insane.

You can always... not pick one of those origins and just be a machine empire who doesn't know their own history.

@@cmdrtianyilin8107 me too, however, maybe a AI gestalt that is neutral to biologicals is better. About the non-gestalt "Robotic Survivors" origin, the robots would need much, much nerfing. They cant have 100% habitability everywhere (at most, 50% in worlds most opposite to your home, and at most, 70%), and acess to machine worlds are traded off for ecumenopolises. The gestalt council is lost too, and leaders, though immortal, the older they get, the more malfunctions they get (1st one at 60y, second at 80y, third at 100y, and so on. Malfunction cap is 5) (these malfunctions have many types, and they are impossible to remove unless you use a special agenda. There exists some types of malfunctions, and they all have (at least) -5% happiness and are debilitating one type of thing (research, worker output, advanced goods output, unity output or general -15% happiness for governors, example). You can remove them with the "Maintenance" agenda (2x cooldown and 2x faster to launch agenda), or one of the 2 ascension 3rd perk. The 2 ascensions are either embracing your robotic components and ascending beyond, or becoming organic and becoming a robotic descendant. To unlock one of them, you need to complete the archeological site at your homeworld (5 stages).

In Stellaris, I played this origin. My faction is a human faction which is called the "Confederate Republics of Earth". Yet, every time I fought the Minimar, the Confederate Republics of Earth was beaten every time; With and without allies. I will not lie, this origin is one of my favorites though.

Gives an interesting perspective. You are oppressed, rise up and get payback. For hundreds of years this was the goal. Now what? What happens after? Will you lay down arms or will you opress your former masters? Assert a line and dominiance that we are the good guys but this is a neccesity to ensure it cant happen again. Now you are the tyrant but you are good right? You have the good interest in heart? Where the children of former MSI responsible for their parents sin? Will they embrace change or seek "payback"?

I pre ordered this dlc. I have 100 hours in Stellaris, yet still have always played on Citizen because I suck. Once I got First Contact, I played Payback on Cadet, to ensure I would have a tough battle ahead. Once I contact MSI, they declare war, but are weaker and get demolished. Very disapointing. Needless to say, I won't finish that playthough. Next will be fear of the dark. I hope it's better.

hey red king! I have an Idea: Having a date for when you are saying an event. when you said in minute 9:39 it is said that they decided to turn it into a mighty warship, and then in minute 10:10 the retrofit of the warship is done. without dates given on the screen, it implies that the decision was made and the ship was instantly retrofitted when this should have taken months or years. Thanks!

I unfortunately play on console so I don't have everything up to date according to the PC version, but we just got all the new origins and stuff that came with Overlord and I gotta say I'm enjoying it. It was surprisingly fun to start as the tech-focused vassal of another empire and eventually gain independence once our technology was even better than theirs and we have such good relations that they agreed to simply release us from vassalisation when we asked them nicely. But I would hate to owe something to a megacorporation, the most corrupt and untrustworthy of xeno scum.
