    Once, the Khan spawned next to me, i didn't yet have the power to fight him so after losing my fleet i accepted subjugation, for the time being. I started working on my fleet and a few years later i declared war on them, killed the khan and took all of its territory and then exterminated their whole species. A tip for you AI, don't piss off the player, they are always the strongest crisis.

      I have seen the Grey Tempest be a serious problem during a War in Heaven. Some genius opened the L Gates just as two awakened empires started going at each other. So all the major fleets were dealing with the War in Heaven, leaving the L gate systems and surrounds virtually undefended.
      Then the Scourge decided to crash the party at the same time, spawning inside my capital system while all my fleets were on the other side of the galaxy.

    I remember when I had a system with an L-gate that lead to two systems, one on my end and the other to a rival ai empire. The rival empire decalred war on me before I was ready but right before they took the system I had finished researching to unlock the gate and then Gray Tempest appeared. The ai kept trying to take the system but instantly kept drying and thankfully the Gray Tempest wasn't heading towards me.

    I swear, Knights of the Toxic God has to be one of the writer's favorite child or something in terms of empire origins, lol. They get one of the coolest stories, and then Cosmogenisis gives them an awesome ending, and then they also get a Doom Slayer/Dark Knight uprising unique only to them?
    I can't even be mad that some of the other origins don't get as much love as the Knights do; it's just so funny seeing what other thing the Devs add to this origin over time and it just makes the experience better and better. It's as if it's a really fun outlet for the writers to make things that are equal parts absurd, awesome, and hilarious to watch play out that they can't really easily write for the other origin types.
    Great video as always, though! Congrats on getting to make those collab videos with Paradox for The Machine Age, I hope they do that sort of thing with you and the other RUclipsrs again for the Cosmic Storms and the other DLC later this year!

    Best way to kill the gray tempest is get around 100 frigates with cloaking and you don’t have to use any armor then just place them next to the nanite factory and decloak before the nanite fleets can attack the torpedos destroy the station

      I was going to say this. As long as you've got cloaking and can hold the line against the Tempest they are really easy to deal with. No detection paired with torpedoes being custom made to nuke large targets and their singular point of failure being a large target, they are just doomed.

      @Cat_With_A_Lamp 24 дня назад +3

      Well, you can have 4 end game crisis' in one game, each 2 times stronger than the last, just not at the same time (unless you use a console). If the 1st crisis is x25, the 4rth will be x200. Should be pretty beatable if you know what you're doing, at least with the original 3. If you get Cetana as your 4th crisis it may be over, so far I only saw her as a 2nd (x50) crisis on admiral and her juggernaut was regenerating both hull and armor extremely fast, ~500000 each every single month for the whole fight. If you're going to try it you might wanna have several torpedoes based fleets, those work extremely well against her juggernaut because if it's size (something tells me it has even bigger size that a common juggernaut, but I can't say for sure). And you will still need A LOT of firepower to get through all that regen.

  • @danielhavoc889
    @danielhavoc889 2 дня назад +3

    I had the grey tempest spawn via the L-gate only 50 years in, with 97k fleets when I had the largest navy at 50k, and even sealing the gateway, I had to go through decades, casually 1v1 the Khan, and then face an awakened empire down, before I was finally strong enough to break into their home system. They are the single hardest midgame challenge in my experience, as they did more damage to the galaxy via the L-gates than I've ever seen any endgame crisis do, wiping out almost half of the galaxy. Its because of their access to the L-gates that means even if you defend yours, they have plenty of other options to ravage using their strangely overpowered for the time fleets.

  • @Aettaro
    @Aettaro 20 дней назад +5

    The first time I triggered the L-gates, not knowing what would happen, the Tempest came for me.
    However there was an L-gate inside of a fallen empire. The Tempest of course attacked through all the gates, including the one inside the fallen empire, which promptly woke up and invaded the L-cluster, taking the system and blocking further Tempest attacks.
    It was a rather comedic error on their part and basically negated their threat for the remainder of the game.

    'The least dangerous is the space storm...'
    Tell that to my shield-hardened end-game empire fighting a 6x Contingency, that made the assumption that losing shields was going to be neutral vs. the Contingency ships (e.g. not advantage them or us). I was completely wrong. I was so blown away with how fast my fleets melted I had to check why, and once I saw they were using plasma cannons and neutron torpedoes, it was pretty obvious. My ships were dying in literally one hit, meaning the storm was killing millions (about 8 mil or so) of fleet power that wouldn't have otherwise died against the Contingency. Pretty sure the Khan can't kill 8 million fleet power, so in that niche case, the storm turned out to be the most dangerous crisis. More dangerous than the contingency, even, since without the storm my losses against it were minimal.

  • @thorshammer7883
    @thorshammer7883 24 дня назад +7

    I imagine all these Mid Game Crisis events of the DLCs especially when put together would be very devastating to some Sci Fi verses out there with all the Stellaris technology being more advance, powerful, and capable efficient when compared to any sci fi factions whose technology is underwhelming attack potency and firepower, or armor durability and thickness, attack ranges, not a big enough fielded manpower and industry to fall back on and deploy with a lack of production resources, or have crucial flaws in their defenses either in security being compromised or lack of point defense systems are going to get wounded pretty badly in direct interstellar naval engagements. Any factions below the Forerunners, Culture, Imperium of Man, or the Foundation Series of empires are going to have a lot of destroyed fleets and planets on their hands.
    The Mass Effect galaxy and factions wouldn't lack long against a Stelaris tech ai rebellion faction or the Khan hammering at them and picking away at them.
    The Khan maybe able to go blow for blow and pound to pound with the Covenant and UNSC pretty well and keep up the pressure. The Starcraft Koprulu Sector will struggle in space since naval battles were never their strong suit mostly contesting on interplanetary campaigns on the ground. New Eden of EVE Online with all their Capsuleers, empires, and guilds should have some trouble with a single organized Mid Game Crisis Faction though they are pretty good in population size and massive production and active manpower to organize some sort of good defense and offensive.
    All at once happening at the same time I think they could leave pretty significant staggering wound to the Galactic Empire in the Expanded Universe events of Star Wars. Especially the Ai rebellion which should be able to hack into their data bases and computers much easier then with the UNSC and probably their ships, shipyards, finances, and factories too. The Zann Consortium would have a field day of opportunities acquiring all those new ships, technology, and weapon systems while collaborating with the Khan.

      And realistically the only thing the Ai rebellion needs to do too is colonize and produce more war machines on another reclusive solar system with resources. A Ai rebellion should have the comprehensive indepth strageies to create worlds, point defense systems, and orbital, atmospheric, and ground defense arrays so heavily and lethally fortified it would be a nightmare for even EU Thrawn to outpace and compete against especially when the machine start using espionage and infiltration tactics. Not to mention all their encrypted messages and databases being systematically code breaked by the Ai rebellion forces even if it is not a Hyper powerful Command Core leading them.

    I had the worst luck of having 4 L gates in my empire, and i decided not to open it. However the AI had other plans, and opened it to unleash the gray tempest onto me. I had to survive by fortifying my core worlds that held my economy, because my fleets couldn’t handle 4-24 in my borders

    I got the AI rebellion and it was the worst possible occupation it started at 2490 my empire size was literally more than a quarter of the galaxy having colonized 74 planets and still increasing. AI took control of my core systems that are close to earth which were the backbone of my economy my energy goes into deficit by 9k luckily I had some reserves which lasted long enough for me to eliminate and reoccupy my planets with my war exhausted fleets.
    AI occupied systems also involved the ringworlds captured from fallen empire and citadels that had max amount of ion cannons and defense platforms this was my first major game as I hadnt made this far into the game before and I wad like wow my defense has been turned against me I had such hard time getting those heavily fortified systems back which the AI took for its own empire without a single casualty on their side. They also got one of my mega shipyard luckily I had another one captured from another nation.

    I once remember a recent game, where the Khan spawned because i was finally cleaning up the galaxy of Mauraders, I didn't pay mind because by now I have hundreds of hours in the game. Until he used an L-Gate i failed to secure to travel to my capital and attempt a seige, he failed miserably. That required a.... Response.
    Im playing with Gigastructures, so every planet colonized by them learned what "acceptable loss" is to the Empire with my hordes of Systemcraft death beams.

    Khan used to be a great event that truly changed the geopolitical space of the game and challenged players. Now all it does is annoy, causing countries to form federations that don't want to break up until the next game crisis. It practically turns the galaxy into stone. I've been waiting for a rework of the crisis mechanics for years.

      Also, I definitely only thought that the Khan, the Grey Tempest, and the Formless were the Mid Game Crisis's, it's cool to know that there are more things that are considered in the category. Though, I do hope that they add another potential trigger for the Demonic Incursion, I've never seen that one and it would be cool if there was just a chance that it would happen even if there was no toxic god faction.

    one time the kham spawned rigjt next to me. i was already sus that would happen cause i have bad luck in the game, so i already had a bastion in that sector on the edge of the main hyperlane leading to my core territory and the capital(called it The Run because it was just a straight line hyperlane)
    took my entire navy and the bastion plus my allies. for 30 years the khan rampaged across the border, and for 30 years we fought him back. my hegemony took the brunt of the assault, and never once asked for aide. and they never breached The Run. the final battle occured when my first titan (named the Revenant of Zarauk IV, after one of the opening battles) obliterated the Khans final flagship with a perdition lance/neutron launcher 1-2 punch

If we do consider it a Mid-game Crisis, where would it rank in terms of threat level?

    the ai fleets jsut than proceded to kick my shit in it doesnt help that i had a mod that simulates empire decay and at that time my main manufactoring word desided oh well time to go independant split my empire AGAIN I WAS LIKE YOOOO. i lost that game but i was like welp loosing was fun

    I hate the Grey Tempest. Mostly because for me it spawns like every single time! AFAIK it depends on the game difficulty, being normal or higher it spawns every time. I've had a game where I watched one of my colonies being consumed as the last inhabited planet in the whole galaxy. That was ... cool, but ever since seeing them pour out the L-Cluster every single time I started to consider turning the L-cluster off completely for my future games.
