"The alien point defense lasers knocked every missile out of the sky with ease." Well, at least we know the aliens don't know how to build their fleets well.

A Always build some Point defense ships to take Outposts without Damage Early Game,that is Ofcourse if they attacked me first,i would never attacked unprovoked,Like these pieces of Belbos scum
I was absolutely enraged by the behaviour and shamelessness of the aliens invaders ... until I realized I was basically doing the same thing, or worse, to other planets and civilisations in my playthroughs. Might be going for a pacifist playthrough next, for some reason.
Yeah i am sure you will remain pacifist when a foul xeno colonizes the only star system leading out of your current domain, preventing you from expanding. or when some ugly disgusting creature from the stars sends you an insult. oh boy, i can already feel my blood boiling. i think i might go for another xenophobic play through....
Another heartwarming story about how an interstellar civilization saves some space age primitives from destroying themselves! The Belbos are obviously the heroes of the story! 😉
Not going to lie, the moment the Alpine primitives went into a global war during the atomic age, and I had 4 unoccupied Alpine worlds, I was STRONGLY tempted to immediately "liberate" them and colonize those four planets. Opted out and then a few days later signed a migration treaty with Lithoids; I don't know what mod I use that does it, but giving lithoids +50% habitability is way too fucking strong.
@@Ryanowning Sometimes though you let them be, and then you kick yourself after they blow themselves up. One time I was playing as a tundra world race and there was a jungle world race with a wonderful combination of traits not too far from my home world. I puttered around for a while, then decided to get serious and build some armies, and halfway through building my armies, they blew themselves up so badly that they didn’t convert their planet into a tomb world, but instead into a toxic world, so not only did they die out, their planet was useless too. Once I completed my armies, I ended up conquering another jungle world race nearby my home world, but compared to the bunch who wiped themselves out, they kind of sucked, honestly.
@@EyeOfMagnus4E201 I wish there was a middle ground between enlightenment and covert intrusion whereby you simply make yourself known to them and get them to come to the peace talks. I like to RP as egalitarian so it's rather annoying to have to invade egalitarian worlds, btw that's what the Alpine race was, just to save them. I also wish there was an alternative to Enlightenment where you propose to add them to your nation instead of giving them one of your systems; especially since said Alpine race was one of two habitable planets in that system and the other was already over 15 pops.
@@Ryanowning So you wish for Intergration? Teach them your ways and bring them into your empire. Instead of bringing them into the stars as a seperate political entity who can throw a hissy fit and join your neighbours Vassal collection instead of you, their protectors and watchers. Just because they are Xenophiles and You are Rouge Servitor. So they don't like me? Apparently?
@@Ryanowning Yeah, being able to just come in and say “Hi, here we are” would be nice, and the way you lose colonies in the system if a primitive civilization gains independence is annoying, and actually sort of dumb if the population on your colony or colonies outnumbers the primitive’s population. Maybe there should be an option to hold a system-wide vote if you’re feel egalitarian or simply an option to absorb them whether they like it or not if you’re feeling more authoritarian that day. Of course, you should still have the option of letting them become independent, especially if they’re the only planet in the system.
This is fantastic!! I was a massive fan of the Templin instutute, and you have started off very strong out of the gate and propelled this series into a level of tge same quality!! Great work sir, to everyone working ok the series!
For a moment, Humanity became just as the Belbos who had greeted them were. I nearly thought this cycle would have been endless had it not been for the disturbing rupture in the hierarchy of the Belbos Hegemony
Fantastic video as usual! I thank the Ministry of Timelines for sharing this information with the uninformed human masses. Also, with the new game settings being released in the upcoming patch and expansion, you should make a video explaining what the game settings are, what changing them does and which settings you recommend for different skill levels! Keep up the great work!
I see you yoused Battletech art in this 8:50 Stallaris really neads to add mechs as ground troops options and space fleet fighters in the game to change it up a bit crab Doomcrawlers as a assault Force
@@KaiObelisk Lets agree to disagree then. With this point of view, you could be thrown out of the moment by literally any name. I am just happy Dune is not forgotten or overshadowed by other sci-fis. Thats all
after reflection how whould you guys react if something like this happened to earth ( alien occupation) would you fight or stay docile. Personally I would have joined the AAF since I can see myself not taking to aliens just occupying earth only to subjugate into their empire

Ooh boy! This is strong out of the gate, setting up an interesting origin.
Pretty sure this is the imperial fiefdom origin just with a set story

could be a fleet created specifically for the Parent Protocol. since nations without space travel would more than likely have missile weapons.

Cruelest thing i've ever done in Stellaris is uplift a species. . . As a devouring swarm.
Idéa for next video? :D
Great video my man.
The devil wants an autograph
Point defence lasers?
Those damn Belbos should learn how to properly design their ships.
For a moment, Humanity became just as the Belbos who had greeted them were.
I nearly thought this cycle would have been endless had it not been for the disturbing rupture in the hierarchy of the Belbos Hegemony
I'm getting real strong Stellaris Invicta vibes from this, and I really like what I'm seeing.

If only the GTU could come in to help humanity of the Belbos timeline.
Okay then
This was so awesome. Looking forward to the series
Top tier content! Really looking forward to the next step in the story!
Okay, I'm hooked. This is grade A content
Don't worry Monty, us viewers would never contaminate a timeline. Honest.
In a Whisper: Liberation will come….

This ended too fast. I love it!!
You had my curiosity, but now you have my attention.
This was awesome. You get the feeling that you're really getting immersed into it. I'm patiently looking out who this continues.
Sounds like a good Imperial Overlord origin to roleplay in. Make human empire, pick Imperial Fiefdom origin, choose bulwark vassal type, and go!
"Canon" reason for the reclamation area had something to do with local food as mentioned by a dev on twitter iirc. I know its not really but still lol
10:34 I say it as the argentine that I am, this can end badly with an argentine politician in charge.
Absolutely awesome work! Looking forward to more episodes!
The punishment for interruption is DEATH.
In game this would have been a single button press and a few screens of text
excellent imagery and storytelling! very excited for the rest of the series!
Loving it so far
Soo good love your work and effort! Keep it up.
Emperor Shaddam was such a nice touch on Dune
I disagree, it took me out of the moment and felt like a clanging piece of fan-service. Think it was a mistake.

Such a cool project, can't wait to see where it goes. Very strong first episode, well done!
It is my deepest hope that these humans of this timeline genocide the entirety of the alien civilization that destroyed humanity's future
Wake up dude, in-universe you were more likely to be skeletons before 2054.
So sounds like imperial Fiefdom origin, with Aristocratic Elite and Monarch government type?
Very Xcom 2, I can't wait to see what becomes of this project!
Keep it up, this storytelling is one of the most entertaining content on RUclips, at least for me))

it's amazing ! i know that this project just started but i already love it !
God damn that was good.
Keep them coming!
this is incredible i hope you guys do more stuff like this.
Please keep this up, I'm loving this
Belbos was truly evil and honestly must not be trusted in any other timelines
we have alien weapons now.
it's time for some vengeance!
*reloads Alien shotgun with malicious intensions*
Erm, judging in-universe, it is more possible that you and me had died off before you even reached 2054.
after reflection how whould you guys react if something like this happened to earth ( alien occupation) would you fight or stay docile. Personally I would have joined the AAF since I can see myself not taking to aliens just occupying earth only to subjugate into their empire
I wouldn't fight them. Life in the hegemony seems pretty nice.
Probably wouldn't fight as earth as it is now is a shit hole of petty people fighting over power they made up.
I’ll 100% accept alien overlords over our shitshow of a government. Docile.
the trick is to appear docile just long enough to get the tech to fight back
@@jimmieeasterling1648 haha
Wow this took a sad turn for humanity D:
Poor little humans. At least we got to explore the galaxy!
...and got the place as a fleet armada leader.
i for one welcome our new alien overlords

Great!!! Just great! Nice job man!
I got Independence Day as a recommended video to watch from this.
what happened in this video, was exactly what the Romans did when they conquered their neighbors.
This is gonna be a great series fr
Wait, this is just XCOM 2
Love it so far. Can’t wait for the next one
This reminds me a bit of undying mercenaries series. Good work Montu
Keep up the great work ❤ reminds a lot of stellaris invicta by the one and only templin institute
This seems like a good set-up for a decent /HFY story.

Hey Montu, will you use Mods for Stellaris Timelines? Like Planetary Diversity
YOOOO! Mechwarior Art!
I approve.
This is amazing.
This is really good
This was epic!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yo I know this is way ahead of the scope of this video, but it would be really cool to do this for the Star Trek overhaul mod,
It wouldn't be a Montu video if humanity wasn't conquered or destroyed... Still, good set up.
I love this shit, so excited for more, hot damn.

Awesome story here!!
Ahhhhh what a start!
Absolutely love this.
Great video!
