- Ignorin' The galaxy for our own benefit. Didn't play perfectly in this run and went down a non-meta more fun play style which led to some weird moments for our isolationist blobs and the glorious Bob 'The Blob' Blorgington!

Once they saw they were goners, they should have Shielded every world they could. It'd both permanently protect themselves from the Unbidden and return them to the way of life they loved best.
I was thinking the exact same thing.
👍 agreed 👍
It could be a great story idea
The irony is that they did do that for the empire they seceded from
Ah, the Spathi solution.
Bob may not be able to see you making fun of him, or hear you insulting him.
But he can smell your fear.
And he is always sniffing.
How has no one commented on this! That is amazingly terrifying and honestly… I love it. Well done! XD
And your fear smells good!
@@DoubleTrouble-li5wi for some reason it smells like those erasers human children like to sniff
I love the idea that the Overlord just threw all those resources on the blobs, but the blobs didn't even understand that there was another being and just assumed it was more stuff naturally appearing.
Resources from the sky realm.... groovy

'We motioned to the things that felt shiny'
God i love your humour, never change.
That 'underground ore' event isn't unique to subterranean empires. It is however different text.
What are the perquisites? I have never seen it
Also other empires can't dig as far as subterranean origin empires.
@@surviverta842 literally just have a colony and it has a chance of firing after 2-3 years
Imagine surviving in a galaxy because your planet was forcefully shielded, not knowing what lies on the other side waiting and hungry.
The Crystal Bane is best handled by constant orbital bombardment by a single ship to keep it from healing, then sending down waves of army units to whittle it down. It's expensive, but it works
Or selective bombardment with more than one ship
I never actualy got the bane cuz the event stops after the second one, also love the lord of the rings reference
The Unbidden now use their jump drives. That's how they were getting into just random places.
When did this change? Overlord I assume?
@@nauclerus6367 It was after 3.3 that I noticed the change. A PDX Dev MrFreake confirmed it in late march on the steam forums.
@@nauclerus6367 it's been like that for quite a while now, I've seen them do it even before aquatics came out...
Is it a bad sign for my sense of humor that you got me with EVERY new civilization leader announcement?
Fun fact for subterranean turtle build: you don’t actually need shield generators on your worlds in a panic situation, between the tradition bonus and your origin bonus your at max bombardment mitigation already
Yes, but I don't want to hear shakes and rumbles of bombs miles above me on the surface. If the bombs blow up in space I can pretend that no one is there.
Does that apply to habitats too? Asking for a friend, who happens to be me
@@glitchwolf1384 no only your Planets get the reduced bombardment damage from subterranians. You will need a shield generator plus tradition
@@glitchwolf1384 It says colonies, all colonies, so yeah you are living under habitat
You build an entire habitat, glue a layer of dirt a few kilometers thick u der it, and live in the dirt.
Okay that thumbnail was an instant click.
And of course… Stellaris is a series I wish to see continued in the future.
same here. more stellaris please :)
me as well
Same here
Can anyone confirm this is actually a “full” playthrough, not a “part 1, honest guv”, before I start watching it please?
@@3lli384 it’s a full play through. Usually he will have it say part 1 or so if it isn’t.
very impressed with laths ability to roleplay this empire :D "wait ... we are in a federation?" "we are at war, when did that happen?"
Headcanon the Blobs just retreated to the depths of their caverns living their lives in peace and prosperity just like the thousands of years before but this time with new shiny things and technologies they got from the "above ground" and the "black void".
As a huge fan of off-meta builds I really appreciated that you picked civics/origins etc that just seemed fun and role play-ish
That vassalisation is actually amazing. -80% tech cost from being a protectorate AND an advanced overlord that will safeguard your borders for you. Even without the silly AI willingness to give you a massive subsidy.
never seen lathland have an ending to his game like this before. an interesting change of pass
Keep an eye on the fallen empire if you're watchin' the time lapse, its key.
Your playthroughs have singlehandedly got me back into Stellaris. also always fun to see someone else with dyslexia struggle to read the tiny windows.
I watch Lathland in the hopes I don't look at the cost to own Stellaris on steam.
You just revel in the pain of others (pain of which you share with them).
@@Nephitejnf yup I do
@@imperatoriacustodum4667 If you want Stellaris, let me know I have spare keys for the base game and a few of the packs so that will save you a bit of monies!
@@Darkheart9875 ........dude I will marry you, I only have utopia but if those keys are still going I'll take them?
I found that accepting to be a vassal of a big empire is a very legit strat for high difficulties now, especially because it's VERY easy to get a contract that give the overlord no ressources but still have them defend you.
This is an origin I'm actively playing and love as a new addition. You're right about relaxing being the word. We took different ethics, and I'm Lithoid, but more or less the same rest. I do diplomacy, though. :) What delights me is that having tons of troops garrisoned on worlds with tons of defenses. I have no fleet, and I've managed to get empires to quit wars because invading was just way too much work!
I randomly took Subterranean for a Megacorp playthrough to replicate a race from my books, a species that has a habit of hollowing out small planets and turning the outer shell into a fortress for PMCs and the interiors for a combination of galactic Megamall and vast slave network to keep it going. I had so much fun playing that game that subterranean has become one of my new favorite origins.
Suggestion for a revenge playthrough: your entire civilisation was built up with the express purpose to destroy you-know-who, but they arrive very early so it's still very much a challenge
It's honestly kinda nice to see a playthrough of Stellaris where the player actually loses. Not only that, it wasn't a quick, obvious loss. Stellaris often feels like one of those games where, once you learn to survive the early game against AIs with numerical head starts, you just don't lose any more.
Rest in peace, Bob "The Blob" Blorginton the Many.
subterranean very strong lithoids are hilariously good
Always great to see another full playthrough like this in my subscriptions! \o/
Edit: making sure it's the Unbidden next time and bullying them into a whole different galaxy sounds like fun.
We're not going to take on a leviathan, we're not going to take on a fallen empire, we don't know whats going on. We're at war, when did that happen.... I'm loving this
Stellaris is a series I wish to see more of in the future :-)
I did not expect that ending. I'm stunned. Watching to see what happens though was neat!
Keep it random! Love the series, love the vidyas, and love the personalized intros you've been doin!
i was supprised to see lath lose for once
Subterranean mutants, or as they more commonly called, basement dwellers.
Given the description of the species, I do wonder why repugnant wasn't one of the chosen traits.
While it's worth 2 points and would've been thematically correct, amenities is a annoying stat to manage (IMO) and worsening it make a playthrough less "relaxed", like he stated he liked for this one
@@nauclerus6367 The 'repugnant' thing should be reworked to be more like void dwellers. If the whole species is 'repugnant' they're not repugnant to themselves, it's their standard of beauty. It's just _everyone else_ who sees them as repugnant. So while the pop is in your own territory (where it's the dominant species) there's no minus for being repugnant, but if they leave and go to an empire where they're the minority, _that's_ when they get the minus for being repugnant.
@@aulvinduergard9952 that's a good idea but then there's no downside to taking it on your main species
@@aulvinduergard9952 that's how it used to work in the past
@@aulvinduergard9952ultra late but make it so you get -15% Diplo weight
To the algorithm gods, I sacrifice this beautiful comment
FOR THE TRENDING PAGE!
53:03 I've never related to something as much as this. I love Stellaris for this EXACT reason. For some reason I just love micro management. Tweaking little things to make them all nice and pretty. Making the tiny meaningless numbers go up just a tad bit more. I think there's just something strangely cathartic about the sameness of it all. It's relaxing and yet also dynamic enough to where I can't just go on complete autopilot or get bored of it.
I looooved the ending of this episode.
It was so different from what you usually do
These are some of my favourite videos on RUclips thank you.
interaction! been looking forward to more Overlord playthroughs, you're super entertaining to watch in both content and commentary. great video Lath!
That's an interesting take, to look at the juggernaut as a mobile citadel instead of a mobile shipyard. Very interesting, thank you.
Something SUPREMELY messed up I once did as "pacifists"
I was playing with gigastructures, shielded the devouring swarm... Then proceeded to strip-mine the technically still inhabited planets once the war finished up
This is excactly what hapens when you "overcrowd" the galaxy and don't get a bunch of homeworlds early on. Galaxy empire amount is the secret seccond difficulty scale. Depending on your empire type (isolationists get it harder, cooperatives get it easier)
These playthrouhgs are the best Stellaris content on the internet.
Glorious - I appreciate the time lapse at the end as well, thank you!
you do indeed talk for a living. it’s a great voice to hear.
I don't always watch all the way all your video but I'm in admiration for the work done and the enjoyable animation ;)
for me all your full playthroughs pop up in first place recommended, keep em comin! (:
Brilliant as always! Just what i needed today, had a rough one myself so this chill and fun playthrough is just what the doctor ordered!
love it! Subterranean might be my favorite new origin.
Really nice relaxing playthrough, wish it could have ended in a win, but dang, entertaining at usually sir
Best highlight "I talk for a living"...funny on many different levels, and "I'm basically an NPC! I don't know what is going on! War? What? And who is this!?" Put a smile on my face.
Keep up the great work!
Comment to show that Stellaris is a series I wish to see continued in the future.
"That's just my five pound fift. AKA two cents"
Fucking *brutal*
i was just wondering when the next playthrough would come out !! thank you lathrix !!
cave dwellers and lithoids is an amazing combo too, highly reccomend giving it a try sometime
Stack Industrious and Mining Guilds on there for fun.
agreed
Isn't that a -45% pop growth malus? Sounds scary.
@@onchristieroad Nah, it's for Bio Pop Growth. Lithoids are technically a different category.
its a minus biological pop growth, not lithoid growth
Honestly, I for one would like to watch you fight the Unbidden again on your terms. Stick it to those shiny freaks!
On the other hand, seems like the Unbidden are the only crisis appearing these days, so maybe a series against a guaranteed Scourge or Contingency would be fun too.
Stellaris is such a good game, glad that you're still playing it!
31:30 had me dying of laughter.... paradox really upped the difficulty of stellaris, now the players feel like old AI.
Interaction for the algorithm!
I always enjoy watching your content.
Love all of your vids so so much! Immediate priority of watching whenever i see you've uploaded something! Been here since your first From the depths playthrough
Such a fun playthrough! Really showed how losing can be fun (to watch). I fully support playing with fun builds rather than meta builds. That extra flavor and tension makes it even better. Keep up the amazing work! :)
Always love the full playthroughs
I got to see this as soon as it was posted. I'm so happy.
Love you're vids lathax.
Wow did not expect that ending. Amazing as always!
Alway love this type of videos, thank you for making them and take care Lathryx
Yeah!! Another full playthrough, thank you man!!
man that was hilarious :D i enjoyed every minute of it! especially how you formed your story around the strange blob people and their parasitic ways to freedom :D
Thanks for always uploading such great content mate. I'm glad to have followed you for all this time.
Int-er-Action.
also well put together as always and that was a bit of a curve ball
I'm very sorry to hear that you've been having a hard go of things over the past few weeks. I have enjoyed much of your content and found you through your From The Depths playthroughs. Your approachability and honest nature make your channel very refreshing to watch - a lot of people kind of "put on" a personality in their videos. You are good enough at presenting to not need to rely on some of those over the top yt style personas.
I hope that things go well for you in the coming weeks - things have been exceedingly bad for myself, as well. Watching videos like yours is a bright spot in a dim time.
Cheers, Lath!
It is quite annoying that long form content is so bad for the algorithm, since I love these videos.
“We just can’t communicate” yeah I vibe with that
Excellent video. While I wasn't expecting the 'surprise ending' it was still a really good video. Thank you for taking the time to produce.
Glad to hear that this play gave you a lift in your day. Love these videos man, keep being awesome!
Thank you for making some of best content in the known galaxy
The bliss were such an adorable, endearing, delightful parasite
stumbled across your channel and i really like your work. thanks for the entertainment!
Yesssss, these playthroughs are always soooo relaxing :)
Small comment to show my appreciation of your work and that Stellaris is a series I wish to see continued in the future!
Caves for the cave god!
I imagine the Overlord was Patronizing and Egaltarian in his or her approach to uplifting the Blob, little to know this was akin to giving a dimwitted cow a super intelligence relay and a nuke. When they were shielded in independence they were shown what their hubris got them.
In the end, it kind of worked out for them, since their shielded worlds were able to survive the destruction of everyone else.
For what its worth, from a random internet stranger, I genuinely get excited when I see an upload and enjoy every minute of them.
Yet another great vid lath :) may the algorithm shine bright upon it lol
Great video; I liked seeing you face something scary. It seems like being vassalized is a good alternative to turning on scaling.
Thanks for making this game super interesting with making lore for the species u play as. And I wish to see more of Stellaris in the future!
An excellent run. And proof that you can go vassal and still end up progressing.
I thought blue had it but green suddenly exploded at the end and swept the galaxy.
I’ve been feeling kinda crap today, so I’m glad this came up in my feed
I'm so happy that I found your channel, you're so special. I watched all of your newest stellaris videos, absolute cinema. Thank you for these precious content. Love from Brazil.
I appreciate all of these full playthrough a and happy memories.
This series always makes my day, continue it! :D
1:06:11 The unbidden ships come with psi jump drives equipped, they just never really used them before the 3.1 Lem update, I'm pretty sure. They've always had them but only recently started using them
You inspire me to leave my own cave and play Stellaris above ground. Still haven't, probably won't, but A+ for the effort trying Lath. Keep em coming.
commenting simply for the algorithm so he can upload more. Absolutely love these as I watch them in the background whilst I grind away in Kenshi. Been watching for several years keep up the good work.
Lath just did a federation trailer.
"I no longer agree to your terms from now on you will agree to mine"
Love the videos keep up the good work
Any run where you lose your first war with the aliens is going to be something special, I love when Paradox games can still rear back and kick a true world-class veteran in the teeth. That's part of the fundamental Paradox experience... as is exploiting the war-ending systems to absolutely hilarious effect. The start of this playthrough is just the most spectacular thing I've seen. Your playstyle here was so different from the usual galactic conquest, it really was a joy to watch, and you seemed to enjoy it a lot too. Sometimes the management style just clicks. Also, one thing I really appreciate is you stopping to note the passing of leaders and their accomplishments. I love the kind of emergent fluff these games can produce.
Major props to you for uploading a playthrough ending in such bitter defeat. Not only does this increase the tension level of other videos and the enjoyment thereof, but seeing the losses is actually more thrilling in a way. It means you played to the race and the fluff rather than the meta, etc. Cheers.
Lathland back on that Overlord grind? Hell yeah, comments for the algorithm god.
Im really thankful for these, stellaris runs far to slow on my pc for me to ever get beyond 90 years before I get bored and start a new game. And you are one of the few youtubers I can stand watching play it.
I agree about shielding their own planets, that would be cool!
I saw the subterrainian origin and thought "well that's gotta be for space draws", but you took a (at least to me) not so obvious spin on it. I'll definitly will try this playstyle out for myself.
Lost the bet hahaha ,pretty fun playtrough Lathrix, awaiting for the next =D
I'm always happy to sacrifice on your videos, this kind of long-form content is rare!
YES!! STELLARIS!! I've LOVED playing this game since I got it in May! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT Lath! Love your content!
Love your videos! Thank you! Would really appreciate another corporation empire.
I offer my thanks to Lathrix, a comment to the Algorithm.
That timelapse at the end with Faster than Light playing as the Vehement and Unbidden devoured the galaxy, actually felt very solemn...
