I still wonder if it's possible to combine Progenitor Hive and Tree of Life. Maybe if one vassals the other?

[@polarnxt4059]

how da hell would that even work? it’s a decision it goes away when conquered because hive minds die out after being taken over so it would 100% not work and it can’t spread to other empires because they can’t migrate

[@TheArklyte]

@@polarnxt4059 1)you can vassalize hive minds; 2)if Tree of Life is an Overlord, they can have Sapling holdings; 3)there were much wilder/weirder exploits in history of Stellaris and PDX games.

@@TheArklyte the progenitor hive can also build offspring hive nests as a holding building, so as long as one of them is the overlord and the other is the vassal, it can work either way that the vassal could get holding buildings of the other's type

Eating worlds, abandoning your children and -genocide- on a galactic scale. What a great video!

[@chaptermastermarneuscalgar6926]

Lathrix if you're interested you can do you are doomed playthrough Step 1: Go down the psionic route Step 2: Become the Crisis Step 3: Get to Crisis level 5 Step 4: End The Cycle Step 5: Wait for The Reckoning The reason why this is a doomed playthrough is because you'll be reset back to the start of the playthrough with no chance of being bailed out by a federation (which is what happened last time you triggered the Reckoning) due to the entire galaxy being at war with you. This also takes advantage of the fact that the spawn chance for the End The Cycle is increased to 10% once you reach Crisis level 5.

[@_mwk]

The reason End of the Cycle is increased is because there's no realistic way you'd spend 100 years as the crisis. You'd already have won or lost by then. So the whole thing is nothing but bonuses with no consequences

Love these videos Lathrix, Though I did have an idea for a challenge run of sorts with the following rules: 1. Late to the party: For the first 10 years of the game you cannot leave your home system with any ships. 2. Random empire: The empire you play is chosen randomly 3. Slow Burn: May only claim one system per year. 4. Always in order: Your total fleet can never exceed your fleet capacity, If it does you must destroy the ships that take you over the limit.

[@ez_theta_z9317]

1:27:20 the outposts are likely coming back due to the changes to how regen on ships work in 3.4, they now regen in combat as well as outside of it, which likely means they kept regening hull above the threshold to fight, fire off a shot or 2, and then get slapped back down. This has kinda buffed devouring swarms, which may have contributed to how good you did.

[@TrueChaoSclx]

that change has also made Leviathans kinda terrifying lol. Took on Shard with a fleet of about 25k~ that was designed to hard counter, and she just slowly and methodically tore apart my whole fleet because once it was half dead they just couldn't pierce that regen.
