I Attempted The Stellaris ONE SYSTEM Challenge As A Criminal Organization | Full Playthrough

One System controlled by one dumb dumb begins It's journey to face off against the x25 crisis a full 75 years earlier than the standard! How can one little system complete such a feat? Through friends, forced friends, and more forced friends.
Today Lathrix completes his first ever true challenge run!

It would have been worth defeating the great khan to get access to the throne which gives you the satrapy vassal type which gives you resources and naval capacity from vassals

I didn't even THINK of that! Very good point.

@@Lathland I have a challenge for you Lathrix that will take you back to the gigastructural engeneering mod. You take the origin that starts you in an extra galactic cluster with a damaged ehof in a neighboring system. You are not allowed to leave the cluster or activate the primordial pillar until either an npc empire opens the primordial pillar OR one of the crisis has taken over the galaxy. No blorkats because they destroy everything but all the other crisis are allowed would even recommend multiple crisis so they can fight amongst each other till one is at the top. The only way you are allowed to contact the rest of the galaxy is after you build a sentry array megastructure.

42:25 yes you do get different modifiers depending on which Covenant you have: Composer +10% Habitability empire wide +5% Resources from Jobs empire wide +3 Telepath Jobs Eater +10% Weapons Range −10% Ship Upkeep +3 Telepath Jobs Instrument +5% Happiness empire wide +10% Trade value empire wide +3 Telepath Jobs Whisperers You got this one 😉 edit: There's also unique Chosen One traits (e.g. Chosen of the Composer, Chosen of the Eater) for each Covenant as well!

[@openlyracist8055]

Had a game where I was a strong expansionist empire. Got knocked off my pedistal by a coalition that raised up to down me. Got vassalized and my overload was invaded. Broke free and again a new coalition invaded me. Vassalozed again and traded around as my overlords kept getting invaded. I kept being used for resources because I produced large fleets in short times. Without my resources my empire crumbled and I had to fight a 6 sided war vs pirates, rebels, the worlds I conquered, my overloard, and two other empires. Eventually gave up.

[@Saber_born]

best stellaris content out there. Thanks for the videos!

[@tomisabum]

Crime def needs a rework, but you're not wrong about Criminal Heritage being overlooked; honestly, the full cult combo is just more interesting, as well, from an RP perspective. Lot of big things coming to this game soon, looking forward to it.

[@destrinbriar1019]

For a solo system, rather than spamming habitats, make like 4 science ships to spam going into black holes to expand your system. My first 25x 3 crisis run was this single system Sol full of orbital rings. I dont ever go full crisis, the damage and ship build speed is super worth it against the x3 crisises.

Love the video Lath, I love playing Stellaris on console myself, mostly because gaming PCs are expensive as hell, but while this isn’t the place to say it necessarily, I kinda feel cheated having every single new feature or race behind a paywall, and while I’m completely guilty of buying them it feels ridiculous, also, how do you play this the way you do, it always feels like the most resource I can ever pull is +85 a month (not counting unity or research), am I managing production wrong? I can never seem to get to that 1000 a month (let alone reach 100/month) regardless of whether it’s minerals or energy

[@dajosh42069]

Wait... what happened at 52:27??? The Chosen One went from being the Empire Leader to a Scientist?? Was that their original position before being elected leader or something...?

[@Lathland]

Oh sorry If I explained that poorly in the video!! The leader was NOT the chosen one, they were the host of the Whispers In The Void (Our covenant). The scientist is the 'Chosen One' which is just an event anyone can get no matter which covenant after breaching the shroud. It is why I was trying to clarify that the 'Chosen one' is still a thing after I got the host event earlier and thought that may have been a replacement. :)

Shattered Ring since it's last update is really powerful and fun! I definitly recommend it for a tall megacorp game! Hopefully we get more challenge runs!

[@HandsomeGamerGuy]

Oh, what did they change?

[@okto_0]

@@HandsomeGamerGuy 2 years ago or so you started with a shattered ring with the OP districts. Your pops still had their normal planet preference, meaning you started with one of the best megastructures, could expand freely and only had to worry about rare ressources for district upkeep. The then nerfed the origin by adding a ringworld preference trait, meaning your pops could no longer really settle on other planets. Together with the rare ressource upkeep this made the origin essentially into a one planet challenge that was neither fun nor viable. Afterall you can't really maintain an endgame structure with early-game ressources. The current iteratation (atleast of the time the video was released) made the starting ringworld into its own special planet type, seperate from normal ringsworlds. Essentially they are normal planet districts but generally stronger. You can also colonise the 2 adjecent ringworld segments, though they need repairs unlocked through tech to gain habitabilty. Also you get the option to turn your ringworlds into normal ringworlds with megastructure engineering. Overall the origin is now way more fun, does no longer require rare ressources you dont have early game and gives you pretty much 2 planets in your starting system to settle from the get-go, perfect for a one-system challenge or generally a tall playthrough.

[@HandsomeGamerGuy]

@@okto_0 Ah that makes sense, 2 Years ago i just played as Machines on it, and still had that sweet +200% Hab prefrence on anything and could just massively outskale anything.

I can never get a theme game like this to work, my luck is the absolute worst.

And of course the first normal empire i find... is a damn fanatical Purifiers, so i can't even get crap from them. I had another match where i wanted to be super friendly federation builder, and i'm stuck between a fallen empire, Khans, and a an empire that is too hostile to try and befriend. And this is how it always is when I try and play anything other than devouring swarms or Gestalt Machines.
