- One System controlled by one dumb dumb begins It's journey to face off against the x25 crisis a full 75 years earlier than the standard! How can one little system complete such a feat? Through friends, forced friends, and more forced friends.
Today Lathrix completes his first ever true challenge run!

It would have been worth defeating the great khan to get access to the throne which gives you the satrapy vassal type which gives you resources and naval capacity from vassals
I didn't even THINK of that! Very good point.
Crimecoral Khan
25x Khan?
Khaaaaaan?
@@Lathland I have a challenge for you Lathrix that will take you back to the gigastructural engeneering mod. You take the origin that starts you in an extra galactic cluster with a damaged ehof in a neighboring system. You are not allowed to leave the cluster or activate the primordial pillar until either an npc empire opens the primordial pillar OR one of the crisis has taken over the galaxy. No blorkats because they destroy everything but all the other crisis are allowed would even recommend multiple crisis so they can fight amongst each other till one is at the top. The only way you are allowed to contact the rest of the galaxy is after you build a sentry array megastructure.
At some point you should play against 25x all three crises. The madness that would ensue would be glorious
Although I think they can be "too easy" with tech from another crisis. Scourge tech is really strong against the Unbidden.
@@bigbenhgy still sounds like a fun clusterfudg
@@oatmealpopcat2804 more stellaris is always fun. Sadly after the crisis there isn't anything happening in the galaxy usually.
Simultaneously? You're crazy.
I like you.
Wh40k moment
My favorite thing about Lath Stellaris videos is "I'm a dumdum and make bad decisions" and then he stomps the game into the ground.
Lath when it's 50 years in and he has half the galaxy: "weak start"
Me cheering because I hit 1k tech in 2400: "let's goooo"
How crime funded the galaxy's defense against the apocalypse. Thanks for the video.
AT LAST
MORE LATHRIX STELLARIS
and it’s a cool challenge run too 🥳
I love that your start, in a playthrough that does not allow claiming territory, was in the "Forbidden Nebula"!
Shattered Ring since it's last update is really powerful and fun! I definitly recommend it for a tall megacorp game! Hopefully we get more challenge runs!
Oh, what did they change?
@@HandsomeGamerGuy 2 years ago or so you started with a shattered ring with the OP districts. Your pops still had their normal planet preference, meaning you started with one of the best megastructures, could expand freely and only had to worry about rare ressources for district upkeep.
The then nerfed the origin by adding a ringworld preference trait, meaning your pops could no longer really settle on other planets. Together with the rare ressource upkeep this made the origin essentially into a one planet challenge that was neither fun nor viable. Afterall you can't really maintain an endgame structure with early-game ressources.
The current iteratation (atleast of the time the video was released) made the starting ringworld into its own special planet type, seperate from normal ringsworlds. Essentially they are normal planet districts but generally stronger. You can also colonise the 2 adjecent ringworld segments, though they need repairs unlocked through tech to gain habitabilty. Also you get the option to turn your ringworlds into normal ringworlds with megastructure engineering.
Overall the origin is now way more fun, does no longer require rare ressources you dont have early game and gives you pretty much 2 planets in your starting system to settle from the get-go, perfect for a one-system challenge or generally a tall playthrough.
@@okto_0 Ah that makes sense, 2 Years ago i just played as Machines on it, and still had that sweet +200% Hab prefrence on anything and could just massively outskale anything.
@@HandsomeGamerGuy as machines you still get the +200% habitability because that’s inherent to machine empires. The difference is that ring world preference gives 0% base habitability on other planet types.
@@okto_0 so whats the recent advantage for ringworlds?
42:25 yes you do get different modifiers depending on which Covenant you have:
Composer
+10% Habitability empire wide
+5% Resources from Jobs empire wide
+3 Telepath Jobs
Eater
+10% Weapons Range
−10% Ship Upkeep
+3 Telepath Jobs
Instrument
+5% Happiness empire wide
+10% Trade value empire wide
+3 Telepath Jobs
Whisperers
You got this one 😉
edit: There's also unique Chosen One traits (e.g. Chosen of the Composer, Chosen of the Eater) for each Covenant as well!
You forgot the end of the cycle its the best one...
@Deadkridnapper if you ignore the time limit of 50 years
@@HandsomeGamerGuy got a good point
@@deadkridnapper1135 Then again you do survive that with the Exile Planet which will be destroyed last on top of that. So i guess you could powerspike that way.
This is one of those games that you are always wanting to play, but the three hour tutorial hurts. Love the video lathman!
Na just play the game you get the hang off it with time and it's always fun to go into games mostly blind
Three hour tutorial? Not even close. Just set the game to easy mode and play as if it's an RPG. You don't have to be good at Stellaris to play it.
@@Poo_Brain_Horse My first game was the UN and I played like a federation builder, just basic Star Trek stuff, making friends, all that. Just to get an idea on how to play the game. On my second playthrough, I just said fck it and why not play like Tyranids. Most fun I've ever had lmao. Really embodied the "Genocide simulator" side of Stellaris
I only play stellaris occasionally, so after each 3-6 month gap, it can take up to three hours just to adapt to the new dlc, meta usw. if i want to beat x25 crisis but it is always fun
Just throw yourself in and react
keep doing what you're doing man You're fighting the good fight for us people who like long-form content and plus you're just damn good at it you know keep doing what you love brother
No matter what Lathrix picks for his empire, it is just epic to watch, how he takes literally ANY bonus the game offers and, in his twisted and chaotic way, turns it into the most OP thing, you have seen... until the next playtrough, that is... 😂
I just want to say something. You don't know me and I doubt this will ever get a view from you, but I have to say i truly love your content. Of all the content you do I usually watch your Stellaris content only because I just can't get into the other games. Thank you for all the hard work you put into this and your other videos
haha Lathland make a liar out of you
@@germainsimada7591 ?
I can never get a theme game like this to work, my luck is the absolute worst. I just tried this setup and i explored almost 30% of the galaxy before i met my first empire that wasn't a [Fallen Empire] or [Pre-Civilization] or the 3-4 "Purple" groups. And of course the first normal empire i find... is a damn fanatical Purifiers, so i can't even get crap from them.
I had another match where i wanted to be super friendly federation builder, and i'm stuck between a fallen empire, Khans, and a an empire that is too hostile to try and befriend. And this is how it always is when I try and play anything other than devouring swarms or Gestalt Machines.
6:31 stellaris is a series of love to see continued in the future, thank you Lathrix for another wonderful video!
It is a good day when there is another full playthrough
I was beginning to wonder if Lathrix Stellaris videos were a time gone by.
And here it is! The first challenge video!
Post future Lathrix but pre-challenge: I think its a great idea to play challenges. Really makes the different playthrough unique and gives them character.
mind over matter is crazy strong if ur going tall if u get the covenant that increases output u get +50% output from telepaths on the planet u put the special building on on top of the other bonuses on my toxic god playthrough i had 80 tech per knight
I think you should try to see just how hard you can break a tall build. Go just wide enough to get all the various OP things, a couple of the special worlds and special megaprojects, but other than that stay super small so you can have insane research.
Tis truly a great day when Lathrix uploads. Keep up the amazing work as always.
Love all stellaris content it's one of the few games I've put several thousand hours into and still keep coming back to. Glad to see your back into it as well, full playthroughs are great to just relax to for an hour or two. I'm super excited for first contact to come out been waiting for an update for primitives for a long time
And I finished the episode. I really missed having these stellaris video and it has been a while. But what a blast it was. The criminal branch office seemed to be quite profitable but I thought you would have spawned more of them.
Anyways, excellent run ! :)
I put down as many as I could, honestly! The increase in influence cost the Further the planet is from your borders and since my borders were a single system they got VERY expensive! Almost 200 influence each by the end.
Glad you enjoyed the video :D
@@Lathland Oh okay, I didn't realize it could be so expensive with distance since I've never done a single system challenge.
Maybe it could be an idea for a future playthrough? A criminal empire that has only a handful of system but spread out in the galaxy with the ultimate goal of having the entire economy run on the criminal branches. (not just energy, but food, research, unity etc ...)
Anyways, I'll wait patiently for your next run :)
Your Stellaris videos are why I’m subscribed. So glad to see a new one!
Can't wait to see a lathrix first contact dlc full playthrough!
Lathrix one system challenge on ultra hard? Am I dreaming?! Would love to see similar in the future!
Stellaris is a series I wish to see continue in the future!
I was just thinking hmm it’s been a long time since I started watching your channel… I looked back l to old robocraft playlists, ark, the weird work horror game and now I feel old.
I genuinely do not believe there are many UA-camrs that I have watched for 7 years, albeit it’s been on and off depending on the series as I’ve grown and if my interest fades but man those robocraft videos were an inspiration (also got into From the Depths and funnily enough stellaris cause of your videos on them!)
Stellaris is a series I definitely want to see more of in the future ❤
Heck ya, this is my favorite content from your channel- the game that got me to subscribe in the first place. Thanks for making this!
The Lathrix making a Stellaris video worth well over an hour! I will have a great evening tonight!
The scourge always arroves at not taken gakaxy border systems.
Nice Video Lathland! Enjoyed it! Thank you for your content :)
freaking LOVE the long-form Stellaris. your content is always amazing, please keep it up!!
I used to play this way all the time when megacorp came out. Buy up all the mercs smash and make everyone tributes. And actually advanced start would have helped you if you keep friendly enough with your neighbors. More pops for your branches
How can playing as Megacorp with Criminal Heritage handle another Megacorp which have already built Holdings and branches almost everywhere?! I am trying this build and it's so shitty that I cannot get Casus Belli on the Megacorp! Getting more fleet power is hard since the enemy almost always is in a federation already. Is the fleet power checking only the empire power or increases it if it's in a federation?
The fallen empires hate you because of your crimminal branch offices. They are bugged and each branch office gives -10 opinion to EVERY empire, even fallen empires that can't have branch offices. Glad to see a criminal heritage playthrough, it's one of my favorite civics.
Do you recall what was his 3rd civic pick? I am not sure it is visible in this long video :(. BTW this explains why I was constantly getting rivaled by one of the fallen empires when I was literally doing nothing bad and the game didn't bother explaining me why I was a rival for them...
Have to say I always loved your videos of stellaris, hope your alright in RL and best of luck
Love this! Hope we see more challenges in the future
Finally more Stellaris content. Welcome back Lath!
excellent playthrough as always. gave me lots of good ideas for my next run
This is something I have been wanting to do myself for a long time, especially since I love playing tall, but I am nowhere near good enough to pull it off. As such, this scratched the itch without me crying from not being good enough. Great video as always!
We support you and we WANT MORE! Keep up the great work I've been watching your full playthroughs for years and continue to love them! Thank you for what you do!
I love your Stellaris content! I love your content in general! Keep it up
I swear anytime I’m looking for a new stellaris UA-camr you always come out with a new video🤣Happy you back
For a cool challenge run, there is a one planet challenge origin for machines within the gigaestructural engineering mod called the Frame, or something of the sort. Very special, very interesting.
Great video! One meme video idea I’d love to see is a game where a random star system is destroyed every five years, using a console command like “effect solar_system = { destroy_star_system = yes }”
This would be interesting to see, as it would have the potential to really shake up the stability of empires to expand and explore.
Love another stellaris video, keep it up lathryx and hope you are doing well :)
Neat vid! My last play of Stellaris before I quit due to the 2.0 update was a single system run. Gameplay was different then and my rule was that I could build stations to hold territory and extract resources, but couldn't have pops outside the home system (the head canon being humans couldn't survive space warping). I ended up winning and controlling a good quarter of the galaxy, but I did have the same issue you did with having only one shipyard making it take F-O-R-E-V-E-R to rebuild losses.
i love these long stellaris videos! Please keep it up they’re so enjoyable :)
Haven't played stellaris for a while, those ship models look amazing.
I have to say I really do love your Stellaris videos. I know of no other creator who I can sit through an hour plus of gameplay and thoroughly enjoy like I do with yours. Much love!
These videos mean so much to me. Your long form stellaris videos have helped me during some hard times, and I appreciate all the hard work.
You madlad, when I saw the thumbnail I knew I was in for a good time. Can't wait to see what you do next time!
Keep making these - the algorithm had buried you for close to two years for me, so nice to see you pop up again!
Been loving the Stellaris long playthroughs for many years now! Keep sending them!
I’ve never finished a game of Stellaris because I just can’t seem to win wars, but seeing your videos always makes me wanna try!
Are you using Gound Troops to take planets?
I know, dumb question, but it legit took me 50 hours to understand that part
@@Savaris96 I usually neglect that part; should I be using armies?
I just bought Stellaris so these videos have been helping me a little to understand this overwhelming monster of a game, pretty nice.
Yes yes ! Every new Stellaris video is a blessing!
Hot dip, nice to see Lathland getting back into Stellaris. Got that new DLC coming up in like a week, gotta get people hyped for it!
The Loyal Brood fleet buff happened at the same time as the Relic Buff you mentioned earlier. ;D
All the Endgame Crisis relics got a huge buff.
Youve got me back into stellaris, so thank you for the great videos.
I’ve been watching your videos for a while and you always manage to make me go wow! (End of cycle, then rebuild empire vid was impressive) and now this video has managed to get me to try a similar play through 😁
I do ❤ these stellaris videos, the best out there.
One thing I would recommend is using the sol starting system since Mars is a terraforming candidate
You may not be the first one to do this challenge, but you are the first one of said challenge that I'm eager to watch.
I rarely have the time to watch them when they go out, but I love these videos. Thanks a lot !
always love to see these videos, cant wait to binge this latest one!
Great Video! Maybe you could try a similar run with all three endgame crises on.
Thank you for your videos I do appreciate the longer content as I can have it playing well i'm doing other stuff and keeping me entertainment at the same time please continue to do these.
Always a fun time when Lathrix uploads Stellaris ^^ Even though the algorithm absolutely hates it, we shall sustain it with our delicious comments.
Comment for the engagement, but also as a thank you for how awesome this Galactic Illuminati run turned out!
Very good video! I love Megacorps, and criminal heritage is such a unique sub-sub-empire that it's so often overlooked. Always a great time though!
How can playing as Megacorp with Criminal Heritage handle another Megacorp which have already built Holdings and branches almost everywhere?! I am trying this build and it's so shitty that I cannot get Casus Belli on the Megacorp! Getting more fleet power is hard since the enemy almost always is in a federation already. Is the fleet power checking only the empire power or increases it if it's in a federation?
Sick. Never even thought about using the Juggernaut as your main Shipyard
Ever thought about doing a run with Gigastructural Engineering? Some of the stuff you can get in that is truly insane, and it adds way more mid and end game content, including a mid game crisis and like three end game crises. Really crazy stuff.
Love to see you making more Stellaris vids, you should consider checking out the 2022 modjam, the theme last year was mid-game crisis.
every time i see lathland upload stellaris i get so happy....seriously dont stop doing this KEEP GOING
like, love, leave a comment. i love those full playthrough, challenge and concept exploration that you'r making.
STELLARIS
STELLARIS!!!!
For LAXTHRIX
For the ALGORITHM!!!!
All hail the crime lord
Fanatic militarist fallen empire can also be called isolationist militarist.
They have having a direct border with anyone.
However your vassals don't have a direct border with them, so that's not the reason.
The other possibility is the fact that they have you going down the psionic path. But that would only make sense if they are the spiritualist rivals.
great content bring more, im still learning the game so i would enjoy more in-depth explanation how your nation setup works and gives you edge in the actual game.
I'd love to see you play as a gestalt intelligence with only one system. With the caviat being that you become the endgame threat (expanding and taking planets) and bring "eternal peace" to the galaxy.
i think being the reanimators and reanimating space fauna could get you a very large fleet early on and then building more fleets the normal way would be op build for this
Sod the algorithm. I love long form. I rarely watch anything less than 30min long and I prefer even longer, at least an hour. 4+ hours is not unusual for me to watch.
Nice to see a well narrated game like this :)
Great video as always. Super enjoyable watching you play with different strategies.
I do love these videos, god knows I couldn't play it myself so I always enjoy watching them
10 min watching 50+ in happy snoozeland!
Lath's dulcid tones are so soothing he could be reading the dictionary and I'd be happy
Yess finally another one
I've been waiting for so long
Thank you for the new video 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Yooo, more Stellaris!!! Please do more vids of this game! I always love watching these
I need to try this myself!..
Well I guess here goes my plan to finally leave the comfort zone and play wide.
Good to see more stellaris here, please keep it going, this is how I sleep at night
just started watching, sounds like an amazing challenege both fun wise and challenge wise hope it goes well!
Love the content, especially the long-form stuff - doing my duty to the algorithm by commenting!
Love the videos, gets me interested in so many other builds and inspires playthroughs
Always love these full playthroughs. They are such fun to watch~
always looking forward to stellaris from you!
Good run, so much has changed in Stellaris!
One system is probably my favorite challenge and generally one of my favorite ways to play the game. Never done it as a criminal syndicate though. Could be interesting as a change.
Lathrax really just used all his vassals’ fleets as strike craft against the scourge when his fleets got too good at counters😂
Also, I LOVE this format of videos. I know you always mention they are algorithm killers but they are some of my favorite videos on all of UA-cam. Never stop this!!! I have loved it for so long
i would have thought u would go ring world instead since they produce just stupid amounts of pop growth and the research planetary designation is also really strong however wing worlds do take a while to get going so i can understand why. would love to see u take what u learnt from this playthrough and do some more of these challenges as i personally love seeing these sort of challenges
Love your content Lath- thanks for making this stuff even when the algorithm doesn't like it.
Always a fan of Stellaris content from Lathrix!
HERATIC!! xenocomatibility is horrible 😆 great run, Lathrix. I've missed these long form Stellaris games!! Great to see them back!!
I love these "poisonous" videos long form content is always amazing. plus I love video essays.
