Do literally anything at all to reduce losses? No. I proceeded to drown them in ships and the vastness of my empire allowed me to be able to tank those losses and keep going until I won.

I felt so betrayed when the Overlord declared war on me and the Lost Colony was siding with their overlord. and i felt even sadder when the Contingency came, half of the Lost Colony was consumed and i couldn't save more of the wayward bloodkin.

[@Kronosfobi]

If this was a show we could be following a small group of people just trying to survive in this galaxy. Galaxy could be in a medium to late game state where a lot of unions, alliances and politics are in place. Everyone is strong enough to refrain from starting a war. Our group of people could be refugees, mercs, Profiteers, you name it. As long as they are *not* bound to a nation and have different backgrounds it can work. The problem isnt the scale. Its the destination. Expanse works because the main cast are detrimantal on the story. Their actions shape the universe they're in directly. In this setting our cast would be perfect to show new worlds, thrown into new conflicts (whether politic or more aggresively), discover new anomalies. BUT, They absolutely would have no control over the destination the story is heading towards. Which would likely receive a bad reviews due to the fact that ''there is no point''. While the problem of scale can easly be avoided, Problem of destination cant be. We can try to focus on the smaller goals and destinations for our cast, but that in return would create an ''Overlord'' syndrome. Where side characters and the world is so rich, Following the main cast feels boring or a waste of time. Unfortunately this is why Stellaris cant be written as a show. I'd like to converse the counterpoints you fellas might have though!

[@scrambo6182]

The resolution of a personal journey can be contrasted with large scale disaster and death and ultimate failure. Character X finally reconciling with character Y, character Z avenging character W, etc. can all happen and be satisfying regardless of whether the world they're on gets flooded by an aquatic juggernaut, or bombarded by a spiritualist fallen empire for some unseen heresey thousands of light-years away, or turned to a machine world by the contingency, etc. It is rarely the setting that actually makes or breaks these shows, it's the character writing, and that's the main reason why.

[@Kronosfobi]

​@@scrambo6182 True, but compared to the setting we are going to be in (A galaxy full of completely different species, ideologies, goals and ancient pasts) our main cast may feel too insignificant to the viewer. In Stellaris universe, majority of the important decisions are made by scientists and rulers. If we are following a rag tag group doing their own things, we sacrifice that deep perspective for broader representation in the Stellaris universe. We can always follow a Scientist doing some research about shroud, or a classic General/Admiral having to make tough choices. However we would sacrifice one of the strongests aspects of Stellaris and risk turning it into a another space Sci-fi show. Following a ruler might come off as too boring as its going to be politics 70% of the time and Stellaris has more to offer than just politics, ESPECIALLY if we are watching it. IF we are going to use a small group as initially suggested, we would need a destination. Mass Effect worked because Shepard had a goal from the start that did not change; Kill the Reapers. He had many side adventures during this but in the end they did not alter his goal. Reverse Flash from The Flash *In season one* worked because he had one goal: Going home. After failing that, his goal kept changing and changing which annoyed some fans and frankly got overused for every plot thread show needed. We would require a simple but hard goal for such a group to accomplish, regardless of the world they're in *without* compremising the settings or enviorament of the show. This goal also has to be something either respectible by the audiance, or outright defiant. It cant be ''getting rich'' because majority of the dangerous tasks they perform will be seen as caused by their greed. It also cant be ''saving the galaxy'' because our group *has* to stay small and stay true to Stellaris. We cant have a space Avengers going around stopping Unbidden. Of course characters can have their side desires, but the overall group as a unit has to have a common goal that is simple, hard to reach *but* isnt impossible without plot devices. Any suggestions?

[@scrambo6182]

@@Kronosfobi Rogue One is a great example - an important operation that turns the tide in a war that isn't shown beginning or ending in the movie itself, but nonetheless the characters' journeys feel resolved.

[@miyelir]

I think you might be overthinking it a bit, you could make the show in the same story style as Game of thrones with the many characters in a wide array of places with there own goals and ambitions interweaving their stories while having a Mass Effect like over riding plot, the galaxy is a cycle of growth and destruction and the characters can go from researching the precursors to realizing an endgame Armageddon in coming to forming a coherent force to confront the endgame crisis. Having the perspective of multiple people in various roles inside a few important empires would give a great perspective to view the unfolding of the story. Honestly this video was just fantastic and it worked so well because it left alot unexplained and aloud or minds to best fill in the gaps with our own head canon that we like the most, I believe Hayao Miyazaki uses the same style for his success. The creator that directed this video is a true artist and my hat goes off to them, they have brought me a new found respect for directing.

[@Kronosfobi]

@@miyelir What you said *can* be done, but like I mentioned its extremely hard to pull off. Especially if you have more main characters to follow. Mass Effect worked because it had a simple objective, a singular story line with sidequests occasionally coming along. And its a game. In movie or show format even Mass Effect would suffer. Plus, Mass Effect not only follows a single character instead of multiple like you suggested, but also has the huge advantage of ''choice'' as a game. Movie or Show wouldnt have that advantage. This video *is* fantastic, but wouldnt work in a format of a show or movie. Which is why Im asking for possible scenerios you fellas think might work. Likely there may be things Im completely missing out.

Reguarding a show about Stellaris, I don't know how soon that will come, but I can tell you that a few of my friends and I plan to write one or more books and a general series of events based on what may have been one of, if not THE best Stellaris game ever, with its fair share of political turmoil, economic strife and success, scientific endeavor, and awe inspiring battles. The best example would probably be the Campaign against the Corronian Dominance, an empire of magic wielding skeletoids (led by skeletor of all people) residing on a single planet that they managed to turn into the greatest threat to the entire galaxy using said magic, who were eventually defeated by what may be the largest fleet of ships ever amassed in Stellaris, with ships from almost every empire coming to take part. And not just military and private defense groups, but even traders and mining vessels from even the most backwater parts of the galaxy with each ship only having maybe a few weapons for defense purposes. People of all species and empires came together and set aside their differences to defeat a terrifying foe that was greater than any Empire's entire navy individually. It was possibly The Most Honorable Battle in all of Sci Fi.

I solemnly swear to devote my life and ability in the defense of the United Nations of Earth, to defend the constitution of man, and to further the universal rights of all sentient life, from the depths of the Pacific, to the edge of the galaxy, for as long as I shall live. bro that oath goes so hard

As strife breeds unity, neglect breed resentment. Be the source of both, and be afraid. For there is no greater drive to innovation than a common enemy. Look down on a civilization for long enough, and you'll find them staring back with hatred. Look down on them still, and watch them drag you down.

[@drinkyourwater1039]

this is simply fantastic, it encapsulates perfectly the feeling of dread, pride, hatred and honor of the civilizations, also the order of the shots makes so much sense, thank you for this, had real goosebumps watching it

[@teknoreaper9232]

I imagine a show where each season focuses on a different empire progressing through the stages of the game. A fledgling barely space-travelling race season one exploring the galaxy, making contact, and discovering anomalies, focusing on the scientists and leaders of that civilization. season two the rise of a focused character to power and subsequent rise of a superpower in the galaxy. Season 3 the bitter struggle of an empire in decline, beset on all sides by enemies and eventually destroyed, etc. All one continuous story of the galaxy up to the crisis and the banding together of many of the empires seen before, possibly all against one that we've seen the perspective of, with descendants of the characters we first saw (or the first characters themselves in cases of immortal or long-lived species.) Unfortunately that is never gonna happen because it would be way too much of an undertaking and there's probably not anyone skilled enough to write it well in the first place. There's definitely someone who could make a sweet book series out of it though.

I've always thought of Stellaris while listening to this song. It just fits so well.

[@valdibona9228]

I absolutely love this, someone should make a show based around stellaris.

[@whitewolfspectre2388]

This reminded me of one playthrough I had where I made a federation and called it the galactic republic (There were only 5 empires in the entire game and 2 of them were fanatic purifiers so we didnt have th galactic community.) When I united the 3 empires that didnt want to kill everything we had about 20 years of peace. Then the fallen empires got a bit angry at us and for the next 80-100 years it was just billions upon billions of Fallen empire and galactic republic citizens dying to collosi, bombardment, invasions, etc. I tried to play nice as well and had rules of war and evrything until the FE cracked a core world and then it turned into who had more worlds because sooner or later one of us was going to run out of citizens. I wrote down every battle, major event, and war during this 80-100 years in-game and I learned only that stellaris simulated the domino effect very well.

[@elitely6748]

Wow. This was just truly epic and it flowed well! Awesome job!

[@ooperooper3889]

This should be the trailer for this game shows how much expectations can happen until it turns into an all out war

[@kipo8454]

I hope this never gets taken down my god I love it.

The templin institute is a really good channel with their stellaris invictus series, creating a narrative to go along with the streams they do. Really brings you into the world.

Would be interesting to see a show where the human civilization starts off peaceful and curious and progressively gets hostile and dangerous as the show goes on, leaving the finale between the last coalition of alien species vs a vast, genocidal, xenophobic, human empire

So…40k?

@@corbanbausch9049 I mean yea but in 40k its less "lets explore the galaxy and make new friends, later uh oh it its screwed up lets kill them all" and more "Lets kill them all already"

[@estrelaplatina5711]

@@corbanbausch9049 If You mean Tau then maybe. The fuckers even trusted Drukharii at one point. But humanity hell no, they were always xenophobic, at best they had non-aggression pacts with Xenos they couldn't enslave/exterminate during DAoT. And if You mean the great crusade then oh boi. Not even other human civilizations were safe from the start. And it backfired so horrendously that humanity is now doomed if nothing changes.

[@ImperialFistStan]

I mean, it would be interesting to see a show where the aliens push and take advantage of the humans to such an extent that their naivety is shattered and they respond with total war, like what is shown in this video.

[@alinalisan3361]

The Stellaris game I enjoyed most was when I was playing as the United Nations of Earth. I was nearing 2400 and the crisis spawn, and then the second biggest empire in the galaxy declared war on me (I was the biggest), went to Sol and cracked Earth. That empire and its people were all gone by the time the crisis spawned.

"I will no longer agree to your terms. From now on you will agree to mine." That is exactly how it feels when you climb the political ladder in the game and no matter how many people vote against you, your's always wins.
