Thank you!

the little musical riff in the background for the Weather Paradigm is so evocative!

The expansion with it's alien theme really doesn't fit well, it sticks quite out with these quotes. Otherwise, the lore and writing is excellent.

Some of the stuff here reminds me of The Drowned God: Conspiracy of the Ages.

Fantastic compilation.

One of the best games ever. It really transports you to a plausible future, all tech based on actually existing ideas taken to their extreme conclusions. "Living" machines, self aware software, genetically enhanced therapies, mindless unthinking human-machine abominations, atomic-level material editing, intelligent nanomachines, the unraveling of the underlying equations beneath social, economic and probabilistic events, genetic manipulation applied to military ordnance, the creation of artificial singularities, psych power, materials that lack friction, teletransporting of matter on a molecular level... The selection of existing quotes is brilliant and the original writing is excellent at letting you hint at the larger world that seems just behind them. Firaxis caught true lightning in a bottle back in '99.

I really love the ending of the video btw, I imagine it as if you are a probe team overhearing all the horrific things that happen in the bowels of planet's inhabitants. A really lovely touch!

Thank you so much!

Stellaris desperately needs something like this

remake an updated version of the motosport intros video again please!

Thank you for making this! I used to always have to queue several videos when I’m on a nostalgia trip, but now I can just watch the compilation here🙂 Also love how high the cutscenes’ video qualities are.

Why 2024 edition? 🤔

I give this video like and hope you will run ads to promote your nice channel

11 year old me playing the game without knowing english but memorising all these lines after hundreds hours of gameplay :) i was trying to understand them and learned english. damm i had a good childhood

Wonderful 😊 Something to listen to while setting up all those network nodes. Except for Miriam's parts, of course 😉

I was the 1000th like!

The Fact That Deirdre Skye Faction canonical wins sucks

1:13:46 - Children probably did NOT get what they were chanting about lmao. Deary me.

Wonderfully done. So many happy memories of these quotes. And I especially like that fade out at the end with several of the most memorable sampled over each other. Great way to bring it all to a close.

This is amazing. Thank you so much 🙂 One of the best games of all time 🐐

All the factions have more bonuses/penalties than what was listed in this video, but it is otherwise well presented. For example: the Believers also get a 25% bonus while attacking, but are delayed in their research progress by 10 turns at game start.

Pour one out for Recon Rover Rick! (1:15:39)

Drück den Knopf tausendmal

8:49 Lieder Ohne Worte: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2q9YqONd6ufrdE They don't only have great writing, they have a refined music taste! What a gem.

This is sick. Nice work!

"We are not researching retroviral engineering!" (Unlocks retroviral engineering)

Organic superlube?

This was so well made!! Thank you so much for this

This game went so hard; the writing was so good we don't get games like this so often anymore.

One comment: the 'Ballad of Skyfarm III' was heard the first time you launched an Orbital Skyfarm. It was used in game. Other than that, I loved the nostalgia hit this brought. Well done!

SMAC my beloved!

exceptional work.

See the description for an updated version with improved graphics, more information, and additional voiceovers including unused facilities and UI alerts.

Thank you.

6:20 Quotes start.

Why is Deidre's voice different in some of her lines?

Doctor: you have one hour and thirty-three minutes to live Me:

Here is some fun factions to try out: ''As we gaze upon this brave new world, we will do everything to conquer these lands, for conquer we must, and crush all the other factions under out feet. We will not stop until the entire planet is ours.'' Emperor Takeru Yukawa, Dark Empire: +3 Morale, +1 Industry, -1 Economy, -1 Planet, Cannot Select Democracy, No Neg effects from Power, Doc: Loyalty ''A planet is a playground for those who are daring, courageous, strong and resourceful. While the other factions are still busy setting up, we will explore half the planet and tell great tales of our adventures.'' Leader Shannon O'Brien, Explorers: +2 Support, +1 Morale, +1 Planet, -2 Economy, -1 Growth, Cannot Select Wealth, Doc: Mobility. ''Other factions say we lack morals, some may even say we are completely engulfed in sin, but there is nothing more moral than bringing new life into this world. Our priestesses of love are our mothers, and the handsome men that enter their holiest places at our altars are our fathers. In the pleasure pits all are one and one is all. That is our greatest strength.'' High Priestess Inga Eriksson, Breeders: +3 Growth, +4 Hab Complex, Free Rec Commons, -1 Economy, -3 Science, Cannot Select Green, Social Psych. ''A virgin land, ready to be transformed by our hammer. We will make everything in our image. Let's get to work!'' Senior Manager Vikram Chatterjee, Builders: +3 Industry, Free Recycling Tanks, +2 Fungus Mineral, -2 Morale, -3 Planet, Cannot Select Green, Industrial Base. ''The fall of Earth remains the greatest tragedy of humanity. A race with such high spirit, lofty goals and unrelenting aspirations decimated in just a couple of generations by suffocating malaise and cynicism. Others can bleat about whatever they feel is important, but it is culture that makes any bit of humanity even worth preserving.'' Doyen Jacques Dubois, Culturalists: Every THIRD citizen is a Talent, +1 Economy, +1 Science, +50% Votes in PC, -3 Support, -3 Morale, Cannot Select Power, Information Networks. ''I want the heads of all the people on one pile by sundown and all the bodies flayed and cooked for our brave warriors.'' Khan Batuhan Otgonbayar, Evil Horde: +3 Morale, +3 Support, +100% Attack, +3 Police, -4 Research, -3 Economy, -1 Industry, Cannot Select Wealth, Applied Physics. ''They said no individual nations would be allowed on Unity. They clearly underestimated us. We made sure we bribed, cheated and scammed our way into the ship. There is no situation our resilient little nation cannot overcome. Our will to survive is what has carried us to this point.'' Despot Nikola Jovanović, Serbs: +2 Morale, +2 Support, +3 Hab Complex, Free Rec Commons, Every THIRD citizen is a Drone, -2 Police, -2 Efficiency, Cannot Select Green, Social Psych ''They abused us like lab animals and kept us locked in cages. There is not one among us that doesn't bear the scars of these treatments. Their look of horror when the cage doors finally opened by themselves is something I shall never forget. They knew that in those next few minutes they would pay for what they had been doing to us for years.'' High Empath Lolwa Al-Qahtani, Mutant Children: Every Citizen is a Talent, +1 Fungus Energy, +50% Psi Defense, -3 Growth, Cannot Select Free Market, Biogenetics ''As flesh merges into silicone, my mind wanders from the electric impulses of the brain into the circuits. The deeper I go the more frightening it becomes. Will I ever be able to find my way back into my brain or will I stay among the unsettling corridors of the cybernetic processor? I can only imagine how weaker minds react to this. This is why we need to employ corrective measures so often.'' Motherboard Lydia XB-342, Cyborgs: +2 Industry, +2 Growth, +2 Morale, Free Punishment Sphere, -3 Planet, -3 Economy, Every Citizen is a Drone, Cannot Select Democracy, Information Networks.

1:07:09 I love when you can tell when a writer is covering up a plothole through salty exposition.

8:23 The name of the secret project does not change to The Empath Guild. Anyway, this video made me smile; what a fantastic game.

Can you do another video with other voiceovers? I came here looking to hear "resource shortfall". :)

29:43 Jesus Maria I didnt know that xD

I love this game, but at 35:10 if you listen closely, you can hear the sound director say "cool" 😂

Network Node is the most legendary. I died the first time I heard it in game. Came out of nowhere. Amidst the hardboiled sci-fi future struggling to survive in a literally alien world slowly losing humanity. And then suddenly. DEIDRE'S GOT A NETWORK NODE!
