Thanks for the support as always guys - there will be more coming up very soon - I also apologise for any vocal inconsistency, my voice is still not 100% healed and recording is sometimes just tough.

It is good that he prefaced that part of environmental conditions with the need to suspend disbelief. But it is hard to suspend disbelief, believe me. When one has mastered controlled nuclear fusion power and one had antimatter power, one can have an Earth sized planet with a trillion people with a lower carbon footprint than presently exists on Earth. Nuclear fusion power is 12 million times more efficient than natural gas and antimatter is 200 times more efficient than nuclear fusion power. Nuclear fusion power comes from hydrogen which can be obtained via electrolysis of water. Hydrogen is the most abundant element in existence. Nuclear fusion and antimatter power means no greenhouse gas and very few pollutant emissions from such power stations, and it also means no secondary emissions from land vehicles because electric vehicles and hydrogen vehicles will be powered from non fossil fuel sources. With regards to wastes being produced by factories, all wastes can be sequestered, dissociated, recombined, and reused, instead of just spewed into the atmophere or spilled into the environment. Ashen wastes can be utilized to produce graphene, Bucky balls, and carbon nanotubes. What cannot be reused or if it not wanted to be reused can be launched into space and then dumped into the nearest star. The Imperium is not lacking in technologies for space launch and spaceflight and has lots and lots and lots and lots of spacecraft. The explanation that the rulers and power elites of the worlds do not care a hoot about their planets and environments does not cut it either. Given that they possess the technology to make environment much much more pleasant than what prevails in the narrative, even if they mistreat the people that they govern, they would actually like to be able to readily visit pleasant places and surroundings regularly and cheaply. On Hive Worlds those would be placed not occupied by Hive Cities, and even Hive Worlds mostly have far more space not occupied by Hive Cities or any settlements at all than they do. With the technologies at their disposal, they'd be able to ensure that such spaces are ecologically well kept, being mostly verdant and having streams, lakes, and other bodies of water with little pollution. The toxic ecological wasteland narrative of Hive Worlds is ridiculous given the very advanced technological capability of the Imperium and also the logical desire of rulers and elites to be able to easily access and have much in pleasant surroundings on their worlds, even if they do not care much for those that they govern ...

The average citizen would see their work as a place of magic.

I figure a lot of Hive cities were built/designed in the Golden age, but they were built with idea of resources the Imperium no longer has. Stuff like robotic slave labor which could work in such horrible conditions 24/7 without fatigue, illness or death. They wouldn't need to be fed, housed or anything. I wouldn't be surprised if before the fall hive worlds would only hold a fraction of the population they do now as they would need far less man power as they relied more heavily on machines to do the work for them. More the populations would be in the upper hive levels in what now is taken up by the nobility would likely be the scientist and explorers of ages past. With a smaller population it would have less demands and possibly be able to meet it's own requirements. After all if you think of a Hive that now supports Billions or Trillions of people might of only housed a few million in the past you can imagine the difference that makes.

@Lord Admiral Spire I haven't played it in years but there was a series called Rifts made by a group called Palladium. Mass cross over series compatible with every game type that company made. It was a table top RPG much like Dnd but it had high tech robots and power armor, lasers, rail guns etc on one side. Then fantasy elements like magic, dragon, Vampires etc on the other. Whole concept of the game is a massive diasaster broke out and killed off like half the population of the world. All that psychic energy flooded the planets lay lines and caused magic to go out of control and open "Rifts" to other dimensions. From those rifts crawled out super natural horrors which killed more people, flooded more magic into the system and became a self sustaining issue. If 40k could ever cross over perfectly with any RPG I always thought it would be that game.

When it comes to sleeper ships you've also got "leap frog theory" in play. Basically it's perfectly possible for a sub-light colony ship to arrive somewhere that's already been colonised by the same species because they developed FTL travel during the voyage. So it's perfectly possible (and given the setting likely) that there are multiple, complete, STC equiped colony ships drifting around the Imperium but nobody notices because they're in the interstellar void where no warp drive equiped ship would go. I don't think you'd ever see it in a mainline 40k story though but it'd make an interesting "What does the Imperium look like to golden age humans?" thing as they studied WTF had happened to their target world, their species and so on.

A week ago I had vaguely heard of Warhammer 40K. I made a conscious decision to figure out what this thing was, and after dumping more than a few hours into watching videos over the last week, I find it quite fascinating. I am sort of dumbfounded how I didn't learn of it earlier. But...most of those hours went to this channel. And as I said it was more than a few. So, after getting a solid sample of your work, all I can say is "well done Luetin09, well done".

I'd say even predictions in the trillions are still pretty low considering hive cities can be continent sizes with a population density that makes Manhattan Island look like the Australian outback. 5-6 such cities surrounded by tower farms that compress thousands of acres of arable land into just a few meters of ground. Those and other similar implied technologies in the imperium make mind breakingly huge populations not only viable but inevitable.

At least on Necromunda, the hive city isn't as huge as a continent. They have a lot of surface because they pile on high, not because they spread out. Between the hives of Necromunda is the dust wastes where millennia of industrial pollution has choked out almost everything. Only trains between the hives and a villages surviving on scraps and salvage are out there.

I want a tale about a small business owner in a hive-city, attending to tired workers day after day, hearing about local people that have just been deployed to the frontlines just to know that they won’t never be seen again... One day an invasion comes to his planet, but he manages to survive and the Empire retake control. We then could have the first hand look of the aftermath of a victory - How is the rebuilding, how do people deal with the countless dead, etc. It would be an interesting point of view to this universe outside of a space marine on frontlines or an inquisitor unveiling demonic conspiracies... People like that Imperial Guards precisely because there’s a charm to a regular person charging against the larger than life cosmic horrors. What would be more relatable than a civilian outlook at it? Someone who cannot act, just react to it. I think there’s potential for a short story about it.

Man, this REALLY reminds me of the belters from the expanse. I can really imagine how the lower levels of the hive and the underhive fit perfectly in a place like ceres. Thinking about the culture, and some lone dude scheming a way to make do within his surroundings is such a cool concept

I didn't know anything about Warhammer except the name. Then a couple of weeks ago I watched Astartes and I have watching these videos ever since after work. They have become my bedtime stories.

saw a "reaction" video to Astartes where they wondered if anyone had ever written any books on Warhammer. Oh boy have they some catching up to do 😃

The revelation of the Dickens quote gave me chills. What a fantastic video.

Just another truly sensational upload. Whenever I see a notification from you I make sure I can watch it uninterrupted so I can enjoy it properly and I'm never disappointed. I'm looking forward to your next offering especially. Going into the gangs and those dark, dirty bits of the 40K lore that's not really explored is what drew me to the hobby in the first place. In a universe of trillions the improbable exists in all its horror.

It would be such a great story if the imperium came across a lost human colony that’s still in “the golden age” and be space fairing and everything. One golden age fleet could probably take on the entirety of the imperium

I love how I have alerts for ALL videos but KZbin decides what I mean is have it in the recommended videos on a forgotten weapons vid a day later.

Bro I found this channel originally for the ARMA 3 Zeus gameplays cause they’d lull me to sleep. Didn’t know I’d be learning the entire WH encyclopedia but here we are

When you hit me with the Charles Dicken I died. That was hilarious.

When you talked about the golden age men going back to a prehigh tech lifestyle, a nice comparison to eldari extrodites
