Do you thin there will be an incentive to have as many observation post as possible on pre FTL planets in the upcoming DLC? Like a unique playstyle revolving around pre FTLs.
would be so nice if we could make a ship build list we can import or something like this, instead of having to configurate those ships anew every run xD
I'm currently falling in love with kidnap bombing assimilators tactic when dealing with some extra difficult runs. I'm trying to punch through initial frontline of my enemy and then just snatch pops out of their planets. At some point, the enemy getting so few pops left, it cannot sustain war efforts anymore.
I disagree, the point of the habitability debuff is that the weather on your world is getting bad, but robots dont care if the weather gets worse. It makes sense both logically and mechanically. I dont play bots but using doomsday origin just makes sense. A robot civilization has no need for expansion realistically, they have full control of their population and climate. A robot civ would only ever need to expand from 2 origins, machine world and doomsday.
@@ScamallDorcha true, and not just any world, your *capital* world. The one thing in this game thats guarenteed to be good lol. Speaking of guarentees, you lose those too.
@@WhenDevilsDuel the weather being bad is not just bigger rain longer snow storm. It's earthquake, volcano, tsunami.It's 2012 movie scenario but keep getting worse. Not even machine can outlive it and thrive. Unless it's Nano of cos.
@@keyboardtaskforcephi-3689 hence the devastation. The events you're pointing to arent decreasing habitability, but cause devastation. Habitability is long term things, its the climate, the atmosphere, the ecosystem, its how livable the environment is naturally. Devastation is events like crime, bombings, earthquakes, actual events cause this. The devastation will never go down since the events are always happening, what you're describing is alre!dy represented. So yes, habitability debuff is just prolonged extreme abnormal weather. And thererfore shouldn't apply to bots.
I recently decided to see how good hives were compared to robots, and so I played a devouring swarm, and I can confidently say, robots is pure pain and struggle until about 100 years in when your scaling starts to catch you up to the AI, while hive is a cake walk from the start. Its phenomenal the difference.
Apparently my idea of bringing Horus into this galaxy through "minor plot shenanigans"(yes, this is, in fact, the "official lore" of this empire i made) was a good one(or at least better then that time i tried it with hitchBOT).Blood for the Emperor, Skulls for the Golden Throne!
1:45 from what I've seen AI like to use purely missiles or missiles and some PD in early corvettes. Using Energy PD (anti-missile) + Autocannons is very powerful and Energy-Torpedoes are still really good I use fleet makeup of ratio of about 40 both "E-PD autocannon" corvettes and "E-Torp" frigates, no destroyers, 10 "E-torp" cruisers and 10 "megacannon and Kinetic artillery" battleship
The last time I played a peaceful civ in SP I had 6 bordering nations, 2 were determined exterminators, 2 were devouring swarms, 1 was a driven assimilator, and the rest were blood courts... I feel ya lol.
That is genuinely some insane RNG. Most games usually only have 1 genocidal empire. Sometimes not even that. Spawning next to one is true pain, I feel ya.
I think it’s be cool if you did a few long form videos covering a longer game, maybe up to 2500 instead that showcase some of the less meta empires in this game
tried that once. went full crisis mode. never actually got attacked (even thought they were way stronger than me and bordering me). and I discovered that the ai will almost never take a system with no deposits (the ones I destroyed) so I made my own borders
Played a game the other day, spawned next to THREE different fanatic purifiers. They all went to war with me at the same time, then they hired marauders.
@@damonedrington3453 Not with fanatic purifiers. Though it may be possible if the marauders are the same species as the fanatic purifiers. Also from my knowledge I don’t think you can buy ships from marauders you can only hire them for a certain amount of time.

@@enriquegarcia7207 Metalheads is a special AI personality that you get by being militarist, xenophobe, materialist. They have one of the highest rate of aggressions of all AI personalities. Check it on the wiki.

I did this once, playing as Fanatic Xenophile/Militarist Asari. They built the Galactic Community with their bare b***s-oh excuse me I meant hands. Yes, definitely hands.
Oddly if you are playing a Determined Exterminator / Fanatic Purifier the game gets easier for you the more their are. The AI seems very biased towards declaring containment wars as often as possible, even on lower difficulties.
well, if you think it's so hard then prove that by playing as a fanatic purifier, if you can't win as one is because it's hard, if you can, it's because you're not figuring out the correct strategy
u saying how's is a human supposed to keep up its so true i was playing a game the other day i have 5 vassals and was dwarfing everyone in tech look across to the federation 1 fleet had 400k fleet power i only had 100k and i was over my fleet cap. how the hell am i supposed to fight that and even when u do manage to destroy it in the time it takes u to beat 1 member or even half a member the fleet is back with reinforcements like what am i supposed to do
A little bit of critique: You should tone down some of your challenges. While they have good clicking titles its almost infuriating to watch another video which ends up being a failed run. I know how hard stellaris is, but I would love to see you win sometimes and end up in real endgame with megastructures, not being stuck fighting for survival and losing in midgame.
I don't see the point of doing these challenges on the hardest difficulties if it's just impossible to complete. It would be more interesting to watch a video where you actually win... 😢
Have you ever won a Grand Admiral game? I mean, I would like to hear some tips about how one actually can survive there, at least early game? I try to play on Admiral difficulty and I constantly find my ass whooped by the bots as soon as they find me, because they always amass a fleet I can compete with.
There's a simple trick that can buy you 40-50 years Vs grand admiral ai. Just research hangars asap and build them on your stations in choke points. Just make sure to upgrade the stations quickly too.
This was painful... Hosting a community game this weekend on my discord! discord.gg/c7b76Pv

And put up some cameras where they live so you can produce a reality TV show.
