What has always made 40K interesting to me is that all the inhumane and horrible actions while sometimes applied idiotically are almost entirely justifiable and sensible options. It's also part of why I found the Templars in Dragon Age Origins interesting before the sequela happened.
@@lordfrostwind3151 Actually, my understanding is that, while "necessity" is used to excuse all of the horrible shit the Imperium does, the truth is that the vast majority is _actively detrimental_ to the continued well-being of mankind. The Imperium is, in many ways, it's own worst enemy. If they didn't teach everybody to hate Psykers, they'd have an easier time recruiting these vital inviduals, they'd have fewer going rogue or falling to Chaos, and they'd have far fewer innocent people murdered by lynch mobs and spontaneous witch hunts. Same thing with Mutants in general; less vital for the continued existence of the Imperium, perhaps, but a steady drain on resources that could be put to much better use. The aggressively xenophobic policies might be rather justified, but honestly, it would be far better to focus on hating specific enemies and not just arbitrarily genocide every other race encountered, because that tends to lead to shit like whole races falling to Chaos or becoming nomadic murder-hoboes with a hate-on for humanity, like the Tarellians. Worlds are run by cartels and noble houses obsessed with their own profit, glory, or pleasure; efficiency, productivity, and sustainability - all of which ought to be vital to a galaxy-spanning empire operating on time-scales of centuries and millennia, are distant seconds to squeezing the maximum amount of profit _right now_ and, preferably, screwing over their rivals. The Tech-Priests are a mystery cult, which is the exact opposite of scientific progress. They intentionally partition, conceal, and hide away data from their rivals, rather than sharing the information. Forge-Worlds don't have specialisations due to the availability of natural resources or the specific talents of their fabricator-generals; they are specialised because they have to make do with what they have, and must bargain with more powerful Forges for anything else. The Imperial Guard is intentionally crippled, Regiments forced to specialise in order to make rebellion less likely; but this cripples them whenever the politics of the officer corps fails to create a clear chain of command or obstructs the necessary cooperation between infantry, armor, artillery, and air support... Which would be 'most of the time'. The Imperial Navy is similarly crippled, the main example being the deficit of Imperial strike craft due to the Gareox Prerogative in M36. Basically, a subset of the admiralty wanted to shift to a carrier-based doctrine for strategic reasons, but politics led to a civil war which ultimately tainted the concept of carriers to the point that they are still, in M42, still relegated to a secondary role, despite how strategically vital they are - especially against the swarm tactics of the Tyranid Hive Fleets. Power is simultaneously centralised and decentralised in the worst possible way; a horrible, ineffective, inefficient mess which is explicitly the result of byzantine politics exaggerated to interstellar levels. The Administratum feuds with the Ecclesiarchy, the Imperial Guard with the Imperial Navy, the Inquisition with the Arbites, the Tech-Priests with the Nobility, and so on, and so forth. In short, 40k is a glorious mess, just. As. Planned.
@@Siathuan if I may give my opinion on a few things, "if they didn't teach everybody to hate Psykers, they'd have an easier time recruiting these vital inviduals, they'd have fewer going rogue or falling to Chaos, and they'd have far fewer innocent people murdered by lynch mobs and spontaneous witch hunts." Yes, promote the acceptance of a group of people where even a single untrained/uncollected/uncontrollable one can kill everyone on your planet in a variety of horrible ways (reference the Enslavers). Sounds like a brilliant idea. Sarcasm aside, there is a reason to hate psykers, namely what I just said about how a single one can do something like cause an Enslaver outbreak (personally one of the things that horrify me most about 40k), but also it is slightly cultural as the worlds most likely to survive the Age of Strife were the ones that conducted said witch hunts on all psykers. "Same thing with Mutants in general; less vital for the continued existence of the Imperium, perhaps, but a steady drain on resources that could be put to much better use." While I will agree that there are often more important things to deal with than the mutants there is a reason for the anti-mutant policies, namely that mutation is a sign of potential Chaos corruption. Granted it is a sign of potentially a variety of things but potential Chaotic corruption is a serious matter seeing as that can also damn everyone on your planet to a fate worse than death. So it turns into the question, "should I write this off as harmless (well a certain degree of harmless) or should I kill them just to make sure?" "The Imperial Navy is similarly crippled, the main example being the deficit of Imperial strike craft due to the Gareox Prerogative in M36. Basically, a subset of the admiralty wanted to shift to a carrier-based doctrine for strategic reasons, but politics led to a civil war which ultimately tainted the concept of carriers to the point that they are still, in M42, still relegated to a secondary role, despite how strategically vital they are - especially against the swarm tactics of the Tyranid Hive Fleets." It is worth pointing out the carriers the admirals of the Gareox Prerogative commissioned were, for all intents and purposes, designed from their very inception to turn Chaotic so that might have played a bigger part in the tainting. Not much else to think if your carriers keep turning to Chaos and killing Imperials. It is also worth pointing out that the commonly written about battleship, the Emperor Class Battleship, is practically a carrier anyway and is pretty commonly used to the point of being the standard battleship (in the lore anyway). So the admirals may hate the carriers but they will happily use them out of pragmatism. "Power is simultaneously centralised and decentralised in the worst possible way; a horrible, ineffective, inefficient mess which is explicitly the result of byzantine politics exaggerated to interstellar levels. The Administratum feuds with the Ecclesiarchy, the Imperial Guard with the Imperial Navy, the Inquisition with the Arbites, the Tech-Priests with the Nobility, and so on, and so forth."

Request: A video on the... galactic map. We know of the Imperium, but even with it's great expanse there's so much more of the galaxy to cover. Most people probably don't even know where the Tau are, or even a single xenos empire aside from them that neighbors the Imperium.
The people who put that business model together have worked out how to turn paying 5-10k in ads for a chance at around 40 subs into a profitable business strategy. Whales can't make up for that much. Theres gotta be some hardcore data and usage analytics going on they can sell to other advertisers to make up the extra.
Adepta Sororitas also are used to capture psykers (along with the Adeptus Arbites), Sisters of battle are also used to staff the Black Ships on behalf of the Inquisition as they can resist psykers.
As much as I dislike Raid and their advertising, I can't really complain to Arch. It's UA-cam's fault people have to resort to sponsorship deals like this one, It's a necessity at this point. If UA-cam wasn't incompetent, this would't have to happen.

Before Big E powered the astronomican, during the dark age of technology, humanity had advanced cogitators called a "void abacus" on the ships that would do what the navigators could, but 100 times better and safer. Now in 40k, navigator guilds hunt down and destroy this powerful archeotech. Some rogue traders are rumoured to have a void abacus. That was how the DAoT man did long range warp travel before Big E and the astronomican. Short range is always possible. Also before the astronomican there was "pharos" devises in the DAoT mini versions of the astronomican beacon. Originally created by the necrons.....
@@lordfrostwind3151 navigators also existed in the DAoT. They were genetically engineered mutants with the navigator gene. there was both navigators and void abacuses cogitators as warp travel options. But the void abacus technology was lost/destroyed in the age of strife.
Congrats on the promo. I remember when World of Warships did a promo through Arch, but it was only for European players and they didn't tell Arch that. F*ing hours of download only to be told by the game to f* off. Good times.

Arch had to sell his golden throne, and skip out on his champagne enemas, the rest of Norway is looking at him with disapointment and disgust in their eyes.
In the Faith and Fury psychic awakening book there was an instance where an alpha legion warband turned an entire planets population into psykers. You can imagine the chaos that caused before the imperium decided to exterminatus the planet.
If they are shelling out 5K and hoping to get 40 people to click a link, hoping to get enough whales to make that profitable is nuts. There must be huge amounts of data analytics going on that they can sell off.
I get the feeling that this is a gambit by Arch. He gets money and either his viewers don't give a fuck about it, or his enemies fall upon Raid for sponsoring the big mean Nazi man. So he stands a lot to gain there.

who needs to storm the imperial palace if all you gotta do to smash the imperium is a blockade until big E's beacon runs out of fuel? BTW is it just me thinking that it is a mad idea to transport thousands and thousands of highly dangerous psykers to the very core of the imperium?
@@ieatiron please be advise that I highly disagree with any and all opinions expressed by both you and all other commenters in this section. I will now begin insulting you. You are wrong.
It's funny how they sponsor those UA-camrs who have subscribers who mostly dislike Raid. I mean even those who download this product only do so to support the UA-camr sponsored.
One thing I could never quite resolve in my mind is with all the anti-psycher measures in place, wouldn’t it be extremely difficult if not impossible for the navigators to…well, navigate?
Navigators perform this task in special chambers in the ships built to protect them against outside influence, so even with a Black Ship’s level of psychic interference they probably have even stronger rooms for Navigators to operate properly.
Navigators are also special. Theyre sort of like a designed mutation. And their excistance is tied directly to navigator houses who are the only ones afforded the right to...er....breed them. And because the genes have to be kept pure some imbreeding is going on. Probably also 1 of the reasons why navigators tend to have very weak and frail bodies. Theyre at the same time very powerfull because theyre the only ones who can provide navigators and at the same time not. Their excistance only keeps happening so long as they keep politicians happy. So basicly they have to stay in the good graces of others in power. But seeing as how important they are it takes a very powerfull (and stupid) person to do away with them.
I imagine they'd save so much resources just creating planets that are essentially psyker breeding farms. Instead of spreading out across the galaxy looking for psykers that they just randomly find.
R:SL finally giving you that dough hehe good on you man ! Own It ! Look at Count Dankula, he even made it sorta funny. It's y'r Boy haha Have a good day Arch !

Actually a perfect vacuum is also a perfect insulator so you wouldn't have to worry about the ship going cold, quite the opposite, there's a reason why space suits have cooling systems built into them. So given long enough and assuming the eventual degradation of whatever radiators exist on the hull of the ship, perhaps the very hull itself, the inside of the ship would become warmer and warmer until you're boiled alive, so long as the power source remains operational of course. Though it's potentially possible for your very own body to cook itself in a vacuum, though the likelihood of that happening within the atmosphere of the ship is minuscule, more likely than not you'd die of dehydration long before anything else.

Psykers are actually much more common, closer to one in a million for the average range of them. The one in a billion are the Delta and Gamma level psykers, who are extremely high on the assignment chart. These are individuals on par with a talented Space Marine Librarian. Lower level psykers are just easier to blend into normal society without being noticed beyond their close family. It is still very difficult to fill the black ships quotas, as there will usually only be a handful of psykers being held for sacrifice by a planet's government at any given time, but they show up regularly.
Ah yes, you mentioned that during both the videos involving psykers and blanks. (although the latter is less commonly picked up by them) So they're even more rarely seen than Space Marines? Dread or Salvation? Depends on who you talk to. | 10:45 - Not enough of them could be found on Holy Terra, the small percentage of those already there. (even fewer of those being considered Imperial Fists Librarian potential) | 15:30 - At times, you can really miss them. (although not as unstable as Ork Weirdboyz) | 24:30 - As in those that are immune to whatever the Psykers can throw at them. | 27:50 - So they were forced to listen to Justin Bieber on the way there? (and other songs from Holy Terra's antiquity that was saved especially for them) | A virus in a closed space has nowhere else to go, everyone gets it. | 37:05 - They'd prefer the latter, over the former, much less painful and much more beneficial.

It seems like decades if not centuries would’ve been needed & wonder what would’ve happen when the Emperor didn’t have psykers in the beginning
I like hero collecting games and I'll admit, I got into Raid around a year ago when Skallagrim was being sponsored. So you know what Arch, if it helps you out, I'll click that link and create another account. Thanks for all the entertainment and lore throughout the years. I was here when your lore videos were accompanied with another one about how thwy would work in Total Warhammer. Heck, you got me back into the hobby and now I have proudly built and painted a custom primaris and sororitas armies. So thanks for that too :)
raid better have signed a big check. Common Arch, i pretty much liked all the games you reviewed on your channel. But hey, if the money was good, all power to you.
The dark age was during the birth of the imperium. They weren't crossing long distances among the stars then as far as I understand it. I would too like to know how they achieved warp travel prior to this living Beacon.
@@Capt.Slappy dark age of technology is also referred to as the golden age or the age of technology. Before the unification wars 15k to 25k. So well before the imperium. You are thinking of the age of strife which started somewhere around 23k and ended roughly around the birth of Slaanesh, and BigE's coming out party. Exact timelines are speculated.
Possibly they relied on AI linked to Navigators, compounded by Immaterium being far calmer than in the age of Imperium. Another possibility is that most of traffic was not using FTL travel, but was running slower than light and ships were generation ships or (most of the) crew was kept in stasis. But for Age of Strife FTL through Immaterium was practically impossible
@@Jfk2Mr yeah I suspect same, an AI that was able to navigate the warp once warp engines were developed. Perhaps some kind of artificial astronomicon existed before the age of strife. Something that could not be redeveloped now. Fact is we don't know and we never will unless they decide to delve into that part of the lore someday. I like to speculate with the theories though see what else other people may think up.
Money is money, but its disappointing to see that you let them sponsor you, afterall, they are not know for their great reputation or Quality of game. However its understandable.
A 'lack of reputation' is an understatement for them. The dev's parent company makes slot machines. They literally created RAID to reach markets that slot machines legally cannot.

Request: A video on the... galactic map. We know of the Imperium, but even with it's great expanse there's so much more of the galaxy to cover. Most people probably don't even know where the Tau are, or even a single xenos empire aside from them that neighbors the Imperium.

We all know it's garbage, and it's free money for Arch
The people who put that business model together have worked out how to turn paying 5-10k in ads for a chance at around 40 subs into a profitable business strategy. Whales can't make up for that much. Theres gotta be some hardcore data and usage analytics going on they can sell to other advertisers to make up the extra.
Yes Inquisitior, this video right here.
Adepta Sororitas also are used to capture psykers (along with the Adeptus Arbites), Sisters of battle are also used to staff the Black Ships on behalf of the Inquisition as they can resist psykers.
As much as I dislike Raid and their advertising, I can't really complain to Arch. It's UA-cam's fault people have to resort to sponsorship deals like this one, It's a necessity at this point. If UA-cam wasn't incompetent, this would't have to happen.
I will also point out that he didn't use RAIDs script and nothing he said about the game was a lie unlike some UA-camrs

@@lordfrostwind3151 The Emperor's most holy Inquisition approves of this response.
Before Big E powered the astronomican, during the dark age of technology, humanity had advanced cogitators called a "void abacus" on the ships that would do what the navigators could, but 100 times better and safer. Now in 40k, navigator guilds hunt down and destroy this powerful archeotech. Some rogue traders are rumoured to have a void abacus. That was how the DAoT man did long range warp travel before Big E and the astronomican. Short range is always possible. Also before the astronomican there was "pharos" devises in the DAoT mini versions of the astronomican beacon. Originally created by the necrons.....
Interesting, I always figured they used some kind of AI to do the job.
@@lordfrostwind3151 navigators also existed in the DAoT. They were genetically engineered mutants with the navigator gene. there was both navigators and void abacuses cogitators as warp travel options. But the void abacus technology was lost/destroyed in the age of strife.
@@kevinoriordan3323 Pretty much any cool Sci-Fi that may have existed in 40K was lost during the Age of Strife.
Congrats on the promo. I remember when World of Warships did a promo through Arch, but it was only for European players and they didn't tell Arch that. F*ing hours of download only to be told by the game to f* off. Good times.
They also were the ones to break the news that GW was actively seeking to deplatform Arch.

If they are shelling out 5K and hoping to get 40 people to click a link, hoping to get enough whales to make that profitable is nuts. There must be huge amounts of data analytics going on that they can sell off.
I get the feeling that this is a gambit by Arch.
He gets money and either his viewers don't give a fuck about it, or his enemies fall upon Raid for sponsoring the big mean Nazi man.
So he stands a lot to gain there.

@MrNahual2099 game sucks but somehow sucks less than Warcraft 3 reforged
Arch finnaly getting that sweet sweet money from your boy!
One thing I could never quite resolve in my mind is with all the anti-psycher measures in place, wouldn’t it be extremely difficult if not impossible for the navigators to…well, navigate?
Navigators perform this task in special chambers in the ships built to protect them against outside influence, so even with a Black Ship’s level of psychic interference they probably have even stronger rooms for Navigators to operate properly.
Navigators are also special. Theyre sort of like a designed mutation. And their excistance is tied directly to navigator houses who are the only ones afforded the right to...er....breed them. And because the genes have to be kept pure some imbreeding is going on. Probably also 1 of the reasons why navigators tend to have very weak and frail bodies.
Theyre at the same time very powerfull because theyre the only ones who can provide navigators and at the same time not. Their excistance only keeps happening so long as they keep politicians happy. So basicly they have to stay in the good graces of others in power. But seeing as how important they are it takes a very powerfull (and stupid) person to do away with them.

I imagine they'd save so much resources just creating planets that are essentially psyker breeding farms. Instead of spreading out across the galaxy looking for psykers that they just randomly find.

yay Raid SL, how nice to see you sponsoring another of my favorite youtubers. Too sad that im fully busy grinding League of Legends to get out of silver
Actually a perfect vacuum is also a perfect insulator so you wouldn't have to worry about the ship going cold, quite the opposite, there's a reason why space suits have cooling systems built into them. So given long enough and assuming the eventual degradation of whatever radiators exist on the hull of the ship, perhaps the very hull itself, the inside of the ship would become warmer and warmer until you're boiled alive, so long as the power source remains operational of course. Though it's potentially possible for your very own body to cook itself in a vacuum, though the likelihood of that happening within the atmosphere of the ship is minuscule, more likely than not you'd die of dehydration long before anything else.

Psykers are actually much more common, closer to one in a million for the average range of them. The one in a billion are the Delta and Gamma level psykers, who are extremely high on the assignment chart. These are individuals on par with a talented Space Marine Librarian. Lower level psykers are just easier to blend into normal society without being noticed beyond their close family.
It is still very difficult to fill the black ships quotas, as there will usually only be a handful of psykers being held for sacrifice by a planet's government at any given time, but they show up regularly.
The Ordo Sinister once depended on the daily sacrifice of Psykers to fuel our God Machines.
A terrible necessity.
love your lore videos! you still the GOAT of 40k lore
Ah yes, you mentioned that during both the videos involving psykers and blanks. (although the latter is less commonly picked up by them) So they're even more rarely seen than Space Marines? Dread or Salvation? Depends on who you talk to. | 10:45 - Not enough of them could be found on Holy Terra, the small percentage of those already there. (even fewer of those being considered Imperial Fists Librarian potential) | 15:30 - At times, you can really miss them. (although not as unstable as Ork Weirdboyz) | 24:30 - As in those that are immune to whatever the Psykers can throw at them. | 27:50 - So they were forced to listen to Justin Bieber on the way there? (and other songs from Holy Terra's antiquity that was saved especially for them) | A virus in a closed space has nowhere else to go, everyone gets it. | 37:05 - They'd prefer the latter, over the former, much less painful and much more beneficial.
27:16 sounds more like the orb of confusion to me

And all it cost was just a little bit of DNA, and your first and last born as well as everything in between along with your homeworld, eventually.
I like hero collecting games and I'll admit, I got into Raid around a year ago when Skallagrim was being sponsored. So you know what Arch, if it helps you out, I'll click that link and create another account.
Thanks for all the entertainment and lore throughout the years. I was here when your lore videos were accompanied with another one about how thwy would work in Total Warhammer. Heck, you got me back into the hobby and now I have proudly built and painted a custom primaris and sororitas armies. So thanks for that too :)

raid better have signed a big check. Common Arch, i pretty much liked all the games you reviewed on your channel. But hey, if the money was good, all power to you.
I'm curious how humanity navigated the warp during the dark age of technology before the astronomicon
The dark age was during the birth of the imperium. They weren't crossing long distances among the stars then as far as I understand it. I would too like to know how they achieved warp travel prior to this living Beacon.
@@Capt.Slappy dark age of technology is also referred to as the golden age or the age of technology. Before the unification wars 15k to 25k.
So well before the imperium.
You are thinking of the age of strife which started somewhere around 23k and ended roughly around the birth of Slaanesh, and BigE's coming out party. Exact timelines are speculated.
Possibly they relied on AI linked to Navigators, compounded by Immaterium being far calmer than in the age of Imperium. Another possibility is that most of traffic was not using FTL travel, but was running slower than light and ships were generation ships or (most of the) crew was kept in stasis. But for Age of Strife FTL through Immaterium was practically impossible
@@Jfk2Mr yeah I suspect same, an AI that was able to navigate the warp once warp engines were developed. Perhaps some kind of artificial astronomicon existed before the age of strife. Something that could not be redeveloped now.
Fact is we don't know and we never will unless they decide to delve into that part of the lore someday.
I like to speculate with the theories though see what else other people may think up.
@@Advo42069 so it's still a mystery. What they do in Event Horizon? Wasn't that a fan flick about humanity discovering warp travel?
