Every Empire in Stellaris Explained

13:40 that's not a contradiction, that's the entire point, they can't call you a warmongering imperialist if you say you wanna make "friends" with everybody

@@ГригорийГ-ч4н I just made a technocratic dictatorship with only 3 starting colonies and I had synthetic evolution by 2280, full ascendancy perks by 2300, and had conquered half the galaxy through retaliatory subjugation wars by 2400, my first ruler was the ruler for the whole game and is currently over 250 years old

Im a huge lore nerd and im kinda sad there isnt more of a story behind these buckos

[@DoesRocksFloat]

Because playable empires are designed to be role playable, you make the lore. The precursors and fallen empires, however, do have lore since they’re tied to events that can happen in the game.

[@malekartorian3054]

@@DoesRocksFloat Yeah youre right. I dunno, i like rping more with my created empires and like trying to sorta recreate say the commonwealths lore in any way i actually can :p

[@ElMarcoh]

my first playthroughs where with the commonwealth and I always gained more war exhaustion than the enemy :(

I have never played as a non-custom empire either, don’t worry. Plus its more fun to play as a custom empire and it lets you be more creative.

Socialists and communists have a lot to say, but nothing worth while to show for their ideology

[@drakebaker2769]

I've always wanted to play a megacorp, but i never really... got it? I always felt like i was way weaker than with any other faction and my branch offices gave next to nothing. I won't ask for a whole video about them, but any pointers on making branch office worthwhile?

[@EinFelsbrocken]

When playing as megaCorp; I propose to play certain aspects of the game differently: 1. Go full on xenophilia; everyone is workforce, and the more varied the workforce, the more optimal setups and planets you can gain. 2. Clerks arent the worst job anymore. You want your trade value to spike; and you should really prepare and save enough influence to have your planet be the trade hub. 3. Neglect food and just buy it (seems the AI keeps overproducing it) and focus on credits and alloys

[@penguinsrockrgr8yt216]

Maintain positive relations with everyone you can (Outside of other megacorps they are competition) Open commercial pacts with every empire t you find and put branch offices on their worlds to give you and them bonuses (your bonuses will always be better than theirs) Start a federation based around trade and make it so the empire with the most money is the president (so always you) Trade value = energy credits

[@firewars7636]

You could also try playing as a criminal megacorp if you like screwing over your neighbors

[@AlteFore]

Trade offices are stupid overpowered.

[@camy252camy3]

Any recommendations for a new player who wants a long game, less militarily aggressive, good at resource building and trade and doesn't want to go the boring old human races?

[@ColonelDamneders]

I have a video on some socialist empires that are mostly pretty peaceful and want to focus on trade and relationship building kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppCXdGR3o5eshZY

[@Outwardpd]

Pacifist empires gain massive defensives bonuses, you rush science ships and expansion so that you can gather as much land as possible (usually you want to make sure they are as 'chokepointed' as possible of course though, this usually allows you to get plenty of land and planets to remain competitive and you focus on building tall via megastructures, habitats, orbital rings, ringworlds, etc. I highly recommend learning to craft your own empires for these kinds of purposes though, it can be daunting when you first click the button but I promise it isn't even a fraction as complicated as it looks.

[@ASLUHLUHC3]

Jehetma it is. Also, poor Blorgs

[@linkieloos]

The only pre-made empires I've played are the UN, COM and the Blorg. Made a ton of customs though E'ekoni Heirarchy: Oligarchy with xenophobe, pacifist and spitualist foxes. Galactic doorstep origin Omega Syndicate: Human criminal heritage mega corp with fanatic materialist and egalatarian. Mechanist origin Felidae Hegemony (aka badass pussy cats): Imperial with fanatic militarist and authoritarian. Hegemon origin Human Colonial Initiative (colonies that seceded from both the UN and COM): Democracy with fanatic xenophile and materialist. Common ground origin The Warband (aquatic humanoid dolphins): Dictatorial, Fanatic Authoritatian and militarist. Ocean paradise origin Zetan Confederacy: Democracy with fanatic materialist and xenophile. Syncretic evolution origin Galactic Information Bureau : Megacorp with fanatic xenophile and egelatarian. Void dwellers origin Order of the Dragon: Oligarchy with fanatic spiritualist with xenophile. Here be Dragons origin Also, I find it absolutely hilarious how people are taking Colonel's reaction to the Kilik Cooperative so seriously. Because as we all know: Socialist baaaaaaad. Right, kids?

[@davimelo9181]

I find it very funny that humans are the xenophile faction of humanoids

[@sagittariusa9012]

Why not? There is also an militarist version of it. I know it is hard to believe but most of humanity isn't that bad. Just because you see bad things on the internet doesn't it mean most people are bad. Because of the internet, you just can see much more things that happen in the world. And spoiler alert: bad news have more viewers than good news.
