Own a hyperweapon for galaxy defense, since that's what the devs intended. Four crisis break into my galaxy. "What the shroud?" As I grab my reality perforator and QSO. Blow a star cluster sized hole through the prethroyn, they're dead on the spot. Draw my nicoll-dyson on the compound, miss them entirely because their system is untargetable and nail the neighbors capital. I have to resort to the systemcraft in orbit of my capital loaded with existential erasure beams, "Tally ho lads" the beams shreds the compound and the unbidden in the blast, the subspace shock set off alarms in every station. Charge jump drive and jump the Blokkats. They bleed out waiting on the reinforcements to arrive since erasure beams are impossible to stitch up. Just as the devs intended. from the gigastructural engineering discord :)

I see this as a mix of Jaws & the scene of the guy 'fishing' in the lake in the A-Team movie. Big fish comes up to the boat looking for a snack & the fiaherman tosses a grenade down its throat.

[@Sarsenwood]

My first time encountering the Aeternum I had no idea what I was doing. I had spent nearly 300 years as a vassal to one neighbor or another, passing around like a hot potato to whomever won the latest battle over my space. Then my scientists decoded the hyperlane network, and found a hyperspace fold leading into the center of the galaxy. They gazed in wonder at the birch world built around the supermassive black hole at the center, whose surface could hold a population to match the rest of the galaxy's empires combined. At the planets turned into space ships of war which patrolled the space there. And they shot at them. They reasoned that whatever built this would roll over the galaxy like a wave if provoked. They were right. And the rest of the galaxy rued the centuries they spent depriving my people of hope this side of death. We welcomed the dragon we had poked in the eye, reveled in the flames that sterilized the galaxy. We lacked the strength to live free, but by god we had the strength to see everyone die.

[@zetarhythm3503]

My first experience of Aeternum was hands-down the highlight of my time in Stellaris, full stop. I completely missed the mechanic of delaying and debuffing them, and had very low fleet power compared to what they have (this is normal-difficulty Aeternum, for the record). The small damage buff from destroying their ships saved me through a series of skirmishes that ended when I took 2 repaired Aeternite Planetcraft and stormed their Birch World. It was a desperate "blaze of glory" attack that actually worked.

[@chrisc1140]

Either I missed something or there was an actual glitch, but I'm pretty sure the very first warning I got for the Aeternum waking was the "they'll wake in like 5 years, good luck bub" message. No 20 year warning. I had all of 1 planetcraft ALMOST finished. I ended up falling back, using what fleet I had and fortress systems to slow their advance while I kept my EHOF running constantly. Managed to move all of my primary population (our "resident" subjects were...less of a priority) to the cohesive systems and began packing it full of megastructures while the entire rest of the Galaxy got eaten until I came storming out with something like 15 planetcraft and an equally absurd number of moons and retook the galaxy. Most recent time, they woke up to the 3 systems leading to the rest of the galaxy having 2 fully upgraded Maginot worlds (well...one system had one full Maginot and 6 Asteroid defenses) with 2 Planetcraft in each supporting them, and another 6 planetcraft as a quick reaction force ready to gateway to any one of those systems.

[@zetarhythm3503]

​@@chrisc1140 I left a lot of detail out from my initial comment, but one of the leading factors in my recovery from their attack was my cohesive cluster and the EHOF. I had a hyperstructural assembly yard in the cohesive cluster with a gateway heading to the same system as my EHOF. I used it to spam arc lightning/arc emitter battleships (optimised for cost reduction), which I then fired straight into lone Aeternite fleets. I kept that up until their larger ships had fewer escorts, at which point I ran over them with better versions of my spam ships, serving as my Imperial Armada. I did the same to 2 of their planetcraft, and as I had none of my own, used those to basically sponge the damage from Aiondia's defence systems while the rest of my navy's arc emitters slowly chipped away at them until they crumbled. Meanwhile, my juggernauts (I use a mod to increase their limit) pumped out construction ships to sponge even more damage. The land war was very uneventful. I landed over 100k worth of troops, which ended exactly how you'd expect.

[@clark2501]

Old comment I know but yeah, similar thing happened to me. Didn’t know what to expect, other than I knew they had a shit ton of fleet power compared to me. Missed the delays and slowdown toggles as well, but I figured having 4 asteroid defense platforms and a star base with a combined 1.3 million power, and then 4 fleets with 3 attack moons worth another 1.5 million would be enough to stall until I got 2 Behemoths running. I figured they’d only send out 1 fleet in each direction in the initial wave to clear out the 3 systems connecting to theirs. Not only did they not just send 1, they sent 4 barreling at me and killed my defensive setup in about 15 seconds. By the time I recovered, they had eaten a third of the galaxy, including almost half of my empire. I had even stupidly placed a lot of my megastructures near the center and they were lost. I’ve pushed that game to the side for now until I decide I want to return to it.

[@zetarhythm3503]

@@clark2501 That's a rough turn of events. I think your best chances would come from either cutting them off using a Nicoll-Dyson Beam, using a Penrose bomb to take out their fleets (requires a black hole chokepoint), or hold out as best as you can until another crisis rears it's head (I'd reckon the 2 other end-game crises could put a serious dent in Aeternum, but then you'd have them to deal with. I don't suppose you'd have enough of a military or economy left to skirmish them in shieldless systems like Pulsars, but that's where I'd try to strike. That, or wall myself in by shooting my own chokepoints with a Nicoll-Dyson and only using an EHOF to move about. Best of luck to you either way.

Thanks for the video! Stellaris is a series I wish to see continued in the future!

A 2 hour long Stellaris video gives me good dreams at night. Im excited for your Overlord content later on.

Once again, these stellaris playthroughs are something I wish to see continued in the future. Comments for the algorithm!
