Stellaris United Nations Of Earth Vs ALL Crisis

The United Nations of Earth represent the human race 200 years in the future. We will use the UNE, roleplaying as the 'good guys', to try to take on three endgame crises and see if we can survive.
Something about the power of friendship...
Lets dive in!

[@HeroNotFound05]

Weirdly, I seem to have played Stellaris in reverse. First I played a devouring swarm, then a slaver empire, then a megacorp and now I almost exclusively play idealistic democracies trying to bring equality and goodwill into the galaxy, because the real world is too depressing not to hope that that will be our future

[@bluenightfury4365]

Sounds like what I used to be, I used to play as all the negative species and nation types. Just to finally be the good guys since nothing should ever experience pain, or suffering. Life is already enough, why would we need more of it? Even in a game as a thought?

[@FairFaceDann]

Sir, passing on the gene modification event for the RP is dedication. I applaud you.

[@MontuPlays]

It was PAIN.

[@aecides3203]

@@MontuPlays I heard you and DJ have this discussion in one of the Timelines (I think). I always operated less under the assumption that ascension was the decision of the government imposed upon the people (at least in the case of egalitarians) and more a case of natural progression and representative population numbers (in the case of organic and cybernetic ascension). Take Synthetic ascension as an example - I think less of it signifying a mandate being issued and armed forces dragging unwilling individuals into Uploading Centres and more as signifying a substantial cultural shift in favour of that idea, where it is almost universally considered an incredible opportunity and the few holdouts who don't want it done are simply allowed to die out. Much like the Digital Age in our own society - nobody marched into our homes, plonked a computer down and then pinned our eyelids open through a microsoft introduction. It's just better than not having a computer, so people make the choice to have one and then as society shifts it increasingly becomes a necessity of everyday life. If you're at work in the mines, lugging around some mining laser, and the guy next to you deploys one from his wrist, does his work in half the time and takes a nap, wouldn't you want one too? Or if you're hard at work pondering the mysteries of the universe and someone else on your research team walks in one morning and says "Oh by the way I had some gene enhancements over the weekend and I disproved, rewrote, proved and expanded upon our thesis on the way into work this morning", wouldn't you want to be that smart as well? And, for the minority who answer no, realistically, in that kind of society they're going to become functionally redundant - you don't want them slowing down your research teams, or messing up your mines with their clumsy work, so even an incredibly egalitarian society which would never force the change upon them would naturally not favour them for employment, meaning you don't see them represented in your workforce. I think of the 'holdout' minority in an ascension path to be something which is allowed to naturally dwindle, consigned to nice care homes where they can talk about how back in their day people calculated hyperlane jumps with good old fashioned sapient computers instead of as a side process in their head. Except for psionic ascension - I always considered that to be less a choice and more...a thing that happens. That, while you as a player are making that choice, the people of your empire just become increasingly psionic 'naturally' and there's no more of an ethical decision to be made about it than there was about the fact that life happened at all.

[@hansmatos2504]

Wait, wdym using the gene modification points alongside the robot modification points was necessary during a playthrough? D:

[@jy3n2]

If you're roleplaying the Federation, that includes the Augment Ban.

Xeno-Compatibility mixed with late game lag. As someone who always turns it off, I forget how truly terrifying it can be.

That was epic. It was a shame that you got betrayed by your allies at the end. At the moment of the final test, they failed you and more importantly, themselves.

Montu roleplaying as "good guys"? I can't believe i lived long enough to witness it.

i always have a soft spot for the UNE

[@dereckcastillo2625]

Now we have to do one with the Commonwealth of Man.

[@sketchbook8177]

I don’t think Montu knows what a good guy is, so unless he stumbles into it on accident…

[@Callzter]

The UNE is what I play basically on repeat now, with gradually increasing levels of Crisis difficulty. For prosperity and liberty!

[@wellplyd8110]

i like how in the second and third crisis the fleet of the galaxy is there and doing not an insignificant amount of effort because usually its just the player nation carrying the galaxy

[@Superbuchi]

Had to liberate that like button for this amazing playthrough

[@Aendolin]

I end up playing the UNE so often - I don't have the heart to be an evil empire, even in a game, and I enjoy representing humanity. Lack of imagination; I know :|

[@Ulriquinho]

Same. Though I vary that with trying something super alien. Like a fungoid necromancy kingdom (like the mushrooms with zombie ants on our planet) but still see themselves as good guys and are classified as an enlightened monarchy. Stuff like that. They tend towards good guys from their own POV. So yeah sure they revive dead things and turn pops into fungoids in elevation chambers, but to them it is just another stage in the natural order of things. They are like rangers and environmental engineers. Would we call them good guys? Probably not. But they aren’t xenophobes and they are just doing what their biology has them programmed to do. That is as bad guy as I can get.

[@taan1424]

Actually cant really stand playing UNE for same exact reason - want to represent humanity and if you look at history and even current affairs UNE doesnt actually represent us at all.

[@Chemley]

I always try to corrupt the UNE as much as possible, turning fanatic egalitarians into fanatic xenophobe slavers is always fun

[@NoNo-xh7ru]

Lack of imagination? I think evil is what lacks imagination. Every problem you encounter is solved by war and genocide when you’re evil. Where’s the nuance? Where’s the STORY? When you treat the other species as equals you have to make difficult decisions that lead to interesting outcomes.

There should be an origin akin to last survivor of a crisis. And you start with a bunch of tech and a random megastructure in the center of the galaxy.

[@Cerms]

1:05:49 I've been loving it so far montu! :) Currently watching my own UNE game in observer mode being very passive for the past 51 years. But I would say that's perfectly reasonable for the neighbouring civilizations to gaze upon as a beacon of hope considering one neighbour experienced subjugation and another had an uprising right on the UNEs border. Most likely caused by our upstanding values. EDIT Breaking news! The UNE has just now declared war on the Red Thory Commonwealth in a ''War of Belief''! The Red Thory are a Xenophilic and Fanatic Authoritarian regime who has eyed their neighbours with subjugation in mind. To prevent the death and suffering of billions, the UNE has stepped up to liberate the open minded currently oppressed.

A UNE playthrough? I didn't know you put out vanilla content Montu. In all seriousness this gives me nostalgia for my first playthrough. Ahh the memories, the many wars against the Mitron Purifiers, vassalization and eventually releasing of the Blorg, and the scary Contingency.

[@sigh9719]

I used to watch ESO do great Skyrim builds, sometimes with some RP. Swear you remind me of those. Thank you, great stuff. 😁

[@spacemanc8932]

Simply amazing! That was 2 hours well spent! This playthrough could be a novel series. My very first playthrough was UNE roleplaying and this was so nostalgic! One of your best videos by far Montu!

[@dabluflcn]

I always start intending to be the United federation of planets but when jerk aliens start attacking my worlds I quickly descend into becoming the imperium of man, but still democratic and after conquering … I mean giving liberty to my unruly neighbors they get to enjoy utopian abundance too. I don’t start the wars (I kind of antagonize them into starting) but I definitely end them. For liberty.

I absolutely loved this, the commentary, the RP. Brilliant mate :).

I still enjoy variants of UNE. Like I will do UNE, but switch out one of the civics for shared burdens and do fear of the dark. Switch out commonwealth of Man up with under one rule and force spawn it. Obviously I play other types of styles. But I still enjoy playing the good guys with a twist every so often.

[@Adidas_der_schwanger_war]

looking at endgame death stacks makes me wish for a military and fleet update. Maybe go for less ships overall but with more impact. A bit like Star trek or even star wars. The ships could have actual leaders as commanders or something and more character.

[@Shogeton]

Uhoh. Uhoh. "Extradimensional Warlock 'The Psionic Energies of this captured extradimensional maintained the dimensional portal between their realm and our own, before the portal was destroyed. Now our prisoner, the creature has been compelled to use its power to increase the sublight speed of our ships as well as the range of our jump drives." A prisoner of war compelled to service? Sounds like slavery.
