The GTU is the master of terraforming planets to suit their needs, there isn't a single planet with atmosphere that hasn't been colonized across the entire Union. Even as we speak, human and Wessari citizens are colonising the Tropical worlds taken from the Vol Hive in the previous war. With so many planets and systems. With so much history in Stellaris Invicta, I would love to see you cover more about it. Though, with so much of it, I don't know if you'll be able to keep up. But hey, I've been wrong before ;)

[@TheIfifi]

"Novia moskva" I can only wonder which one of out favorite Templin-Institute operative named that... I wonder if we have any such operatives with a notorious fascination for the soviet union...

[@marcbartuschka6372]

Well at first Moskva/Moscow is of course not just the capital of the USSR as you surely know - it was russian capital, too before Peter the Great build St. Petersburg, and remained important even after that. There is a reason why the capital stayed there also after the fall of the USSR. And I think a futuristic human society would be not wrong to pay as done in this case respect to many different cultures/nations - among them of course on a prominent place the nation who at first put an unmanned and later a manned artifical object into Earth Orbit etc.

[@marduk1734]

well, lets start. Rodina. Emphasis on 1st vowel, means Home World aka Motherland Volga. River, used by vikings and slavs in trade with Byzantium. Volgagrad=Stalingrad Novaya Moskva (Novaya, emphasis on O; Moskva, emphasis on A)=New Moscow (maybe reference to Moscow City) Prokophyev. See 1st, 5th and 7th symphonies, if you want to be more educated in classic music of 20th century (very powerful, easy to understand, a bit repetitive).

[@lukesalter9600]

[@undead9999]

we are all here talking like this is some very distant future, while we don't realize our grandchildren (my generation's grandchildren, at least, I'm 28) might very well experience the first extrasolar colony, same as the ww1 veterans' grandchildren went to the moon. If you think about it it is not a stretch by any means. I surely hope to be still alive to see the beginnings of space exploration.

[@gaspardduclos5203]

Sorry but this is unrealistic. Interstellar travel requires a large space infrastructure and large quantities of energy. It also needs a large ship with thousands of people and robots. Any attempt at extrasolar colonization is a strain of ressources and technology. The space infrastructure required certainly won't exist until the beginning of the 22th century, and even then it would take decades for the ship to travel to the nearest stars and decades to build the colony. So at best the first extrasolar colony will exist in the 23th century.

[@nayandusoruth2468]

Whilst I can understand your general optimism, I doubt extra solar colonisation will occur within the next few centuries at least (assuming FTL isn't found to be possible). I say this, because our solar system is already a massive resource rich place, with vast amounts of energy (I remember seeing a rough estimate, that with the energy output of the sun, we could sustain 10^20 people in a Dyson swarm). Even whilst we may get the technology for viable interstellar travel in the next century (hell, if we're willing to use nukes, we can achieve a few % light speed with modern tech), other star systems are VERY far away, and due to sub light speed limitations, extrasolar colonies will be practically impossible to administer, or extract economic value from beyond scientific data, making extrasolar colonisation a low profitability high risk (extremely long term) endeavour. Thus, I can only see us beginning interstellar colonisation once we start approaching the carrying capacity of the solar system (taking current 1.05% world population growth, we'll get there in 1500 years assuming exponential growth). Before we reach the carrying capacity of the solar system, the only things that we'd send out might be scientific probes, or the odd filthy rich cult or religious group deciding they want to try their luck in interstellar space.

[@v_112]

You've called fleet station Tadeusz Kościuszko, that's so cool, greetings from Poland

that mean ?

[@alekmiloy8166]

This pleasently surprised me too! One of the biggest central streets in Belgrade has his name. Greetings from Serbia!

[@Nomenius1]

I'm waiting for the day when video games themselves generate stories with the level of detail and wonder that this gives me. Great job you guys

[@alexandrelessard7168]

its really cool you could talk about the planet of mictklan and its population of genetically modified humans

[@natzo89]

Are we getting more about the hard-boiled detective Larissa in her hunt for Water criminals?

[@aerilum]

Your Stellaris Invicta series is just pure awesomeness, thank you. Great example of how you can build a great story based on gameplay, it really inspires me to write down some stories based on my plays, or start a new one and notice all the small details and build upon them. Althought, you could work on pronounciation of Russian-based names. It's generally OK, but you tend to put stress on the wrong syllables. For example, in word Rodina there should be stress on the first syllable - ROdina (Homeland). Same for NOvaya MoskVA (New Moscow). It's a minor thing, really, yet I do believe that you strife for perfection.

[@marcinmarszaek3813]

I wonder how great must be the skill od all artist who have made these images in the video. They are so amazing i can't even tell... And BTW, is Templin aware that Rodina is a name of a planet from David Weber's "Uprising" book?

[@cs_1937]

You yeeted your last star

[@ivan.gryazin]

Ironically, in IRL Moscow the Novaya Moskva (“New Moscow”) autonomous okrug (which is like a borough in New York) is a newly added barely populated area of nothingness, construction sites and formerly rural small towns and villages

I go on about BIONICLE but more of this would be fantastic too. This story that you've built in Stellaris is truly engaging.

Fleshing out the lore of Stellaris Invicta is super cool, and I am very curious to see what you will cover next. The Algan Republic and their allies in the Compact, The Florian Matriarchy and their subsequent Invasion, or honestly literally anything from the campaign would be interesting to find out. Whatever it is, I cant wait to see how everything will go, and what the coming crisis's will bring, but in the end Humanity will make it through. Terra Invicta, Glory to Mankind!!!

[@fumarc4501]

It's the common root, "rod" (roughly "bloodline") what makes it happen, because slavic people were basically one people - "narod" - a thousand year ago or so. In Russian "rodnya" means "relatives", "rodstvennyiy" - "related", and so on.
