I really like the lore aspect of Stellaris. It has a good mix of interesting, tragic and humourous stories. Today I encountered for the first time those "gas things" living in the atmosphere of a gas planet I had to evacuate to another gas planet due to radiation. They kept in touch with me and asked me to establish a new colony which then resulted in an uprising and me having to clean up the mess. I wonder how many other events are in the game I haven't even encountered yet.

[@TheRedKing]

Probably 100s, I'm yet to encounter the Grand Herald, and I only remember Brain slugs once or twice!! Stellaris is a gift that keeps giving :)

[@therealspeedwagon1451]

I also have my own ideas for human clones. My idea is that humans were taken from Earth thousands of years ago and used as soldiers and slaves for a vast empire. Then that empire collapsed and vanished, leaving the clone vats to either decay naturally or they were destroyed by the collapsing empire itself. The clones all but died on the majority of worlds. But on one world the clone vats were dormant and are now active. Because of this, and the advanced technology strewn across the planet, these humans have a culture and politics far removed from other humans in the galaxy, and their politics are seen as primitive compared to something like the UNE. The humans in this case are an imperial cult feudal society, basically a feudal empire but in space

@@TheRedKing Brain slug has gotten a bit easier because one of the fates you can get from the teacher of the shroud can trigger that for you. Before that (in my 4k+ hours of Stellaris) I only had the event twice.

Gotta say you would make a great enclave. A red themed station who sells tales with minor empire wide bonuses. Sorta like the text version of the curators.

Aha i'll mention this to the devs, should I get the opportunity :)

[@maxrander0101]

@@TheRedKing to be truthful for myself and a few friends that play the game quite a lot we would pay for a Enclave based on your lore if it used your texts and more so your voice files for giving the lore like older games did with their ingame codex and if it gave the players empire small boosts based on what they knew it would be worth it even more

[@UncannyBeagle]

I had it that my clone species were like the Orks. They're planetoids(because of the portrait with sharp teeth and because of budding) that had short gestation periods, which was why they were chosen for cloning. Their aggression and fighting capability was increased, a long with a sense of unit cohesion, but before the testing ended their masters collapsed. Because not all of the kinks had been ironed out, the blockers on reproduction had vanished after several thousand years. Now these rapidly reproducing, aggressive, and determined plants were left with technology of their masters and a mission, *Kill the enemy*.

[@isuckatusernames4297]

I never played with this origin but once I made a fanatical purifier custom empire. I had written their backstory as: the remains of an old galactic community's clone army. somehow, their empire ended up being part of the galactic community (might have modded too hard), I ended up making them galactic custodian (after a while they replaced their fanatic purifier civic). it was kind of ironic how they ended up.

Another excellent video! Always found it funny that in Stellaris you can have Clones (a clear nod to Star Wars) fighting alongside Xenomorphs (Alien) against Psy-Warriors (Jedi? Perhaps?) and Super Soldiers (maybe Warhammer Space Marines or, in a more far-fetched connection, akin to Captain America?) it's just an amazing blend of all things sci-fi. Would love to see a lore video covering the ancient dreadnought, I've always found its lore very interesting. Keep up the good work!

[@TheRedKing]

Aha! I hope to do something on the dreadnaught and other mechanical ish monsters sometime in April :) Glad you enjoyed the video!!!

The extradimensional warlock relic is the 1st or 2nd most useful relic I've ever found. It's vying with the Rubricator. It gives 15% sunlight speed and doubles the jump radius of your Warp drive. Has been the best thing I've found in a while....oh and I built the pyramids and everybody on earth (sol) fought the first war over it.

Minor nitpick, but “Hegemony” is pronounced with g being said like a Capital G or j. So it’s “hejemony” in pronunciation. Great video regardless

[@LongToungedLiar]

The British English correct pronunciation is with the hard G. He said it correctly. Please remember that English is a language used by many cultures and pronunciations vary greatly between them.

[@UCannotDefeatMyShmeat]

Does stellaris just actively use plot lines from other science fiction, just like warhammer? 4:02 Like these guys are the clone army of the republic but their template was a space marine *okay the answer is a begrudging yes

[@TheRedKing]

I think everyone is inspired by everyone :)

[@sirgideonofnir6840]

Stellaris pulls stories and ideas from almost all science fiction. From direct references to themes. They are very open about it.

[@acadiano10]

Necrophage sort of approximates Warhammer space Marines a bit better imho. But yes all the good tropes done well is Stellaris at its best.

[@sovietunion7643]

literally the prythorn scrouge endgame crisis is just the yuuzhan vong invasion from star wars legends, and thats okay. i like random completely different bits of sci fi just kinda thrown into a melting pot. you can have star trek federations and warhammer 40k fanatic xenophobe empires in the same ring and thats a bunch of fun

[@acadiano10]

@@sovietunion7643 YES! and basically the Stargate Goa'uld (Necrophage) or the Borg (Driven Assimilator) could be elected President of the Galaxy if they play their cards just right. They're in the same federation with the Star Wars Clone Army btw.
