It always makes me chuckle when people choose to 'become the crisis' and start consuming their own stars. Totally in character for Kleaper, but for most people, it's like no... those go into your enemies space... eat their stars!
Yeah lol, i remember the funnest stellaris playthrough i've ever had was during a mega campaign... the HRE had re-unified itself and eventually earth, reformed into the Holy Terran Empire, and went to the stars. I became the crisis, owned 1/4th of the galaxy, and absolutely devastated everyone else as i chugged towards completion, however, even if i devastated all, and many were destroyed, not all were completely destroyed... and i had to fight and buy time as my frontlines collapsed Eventually they got to Sol, after a long battle busted through my fortification, and even though Sol itself was heavily fortified, they prob could have taken it (thouh it would have been close) The AI left it alone and gave me the game.
How? Like what do fallen empire's how that cause them to be sleeping.....uh not giants that's too small....space whales? I don't play Stellaris so no idea about background knowledge, just that no one wants to mess with them and I see why now....but not why/how they are that powerful with such a small area of space that they own.
@@PDjargon Basically, the fallen empires are the remnants of a hyper-advanced precursor civilisation that once controlled a much larger area of space, but they have since retreated into what you see on the map and focus on defending their core systems.

@@voidwalker9746 But what in their owned systems/researched tech allow them to put out such powerful fleets if they aren't just spawned in by game trigger/code resulting in a player never able to match them?
@@PDjargonThe fallen empires used to be great civilizations of the past, who were highly advanced, after a massive war between the civilizations which led to many being wiped out they all agreed to seclude themselves and resort to peace. After Millenia of peace they slowly became weaker and weaker, which gave rise to new empires such as the one you play as. If you commit a grave atrocity against a fallen empire it essentially sets them to function as they once did, using old technology that can destroy planets and what not. Although you can surpass them in technology given enough time, you must remember that they have had eons to research in seclusion and have fought wars spanning the galaxy, so you can only beat them if you vastly outnumber them with allies and whatnot
Can also RP as the Collectors via the Necrophage origin. Enslave species and turn them into yours. However you will need other species because your kind suck at menial jobs, but excel at complex jobs Unless you’re a Hive Mind, where you can only use slaves as livestock and your drones do not suffer penalties for working the mines. You can also use the food that Livestock produce to make ships with Catalytic converter. There’s also an ascension perk, Nihilistic Aquisition, which lets you kidnap enemy pops. However, because it’s a Paradox game, everything I said are separate DLCs.
@@spartanonxy Well, to be fair, the Reapers set up the whole galaxy to only use the idiot ball approach and then made sure all the tech had funky mind-nudging devices to *keep* people using the idiot ball approach.

19:17 so it's basically the galactic council from Mass Effect... I guess whenever a council of any kind is being targeted by an unstoppable infinitely expanding machine race they decide the best course of action is to try ignoring it to death
Selective: Targeting remote military facilities Indiscriminate: Targeting all military facilities Armageddon: Targeting every single being on the planet with a nuclear warhead
I let out the most ungodly high pitched squeal in excitement when I saw this upon opening UA-cam for the first time today. My favorite 4X game and my favorite war criminal gamer? Over forty minutes? God, I'm having heart palpitations. Incredible thing to wake up to, king, thank you.
You should totally grab the "Gigastructural engineering & more" mod it allow you to cobble 1 star and a bunch of planet and moons into a "StellarCraft"
18:56 well, it would be even more realistic if both of you would have a representative there that would sometimes remind about your position by purging the most annoying ones, but everyone is like: AAAah! There is a slaughter! Oh, it is Geoff again. Nevermind.
I miss when machine empires could make ad-hoc mega structues by just using all building slots on one recourse and just filling the planet, then never thinking about it again.
It has everything: Space genocide Space genocide with robots Space genocide with horrendous genetic abominations Space genocide with space marines Space genocide with ships Space genocide with nukes Space genocide with world crackers Space genocide with galactic scale bomb Space genocide with capitalism Space genocide with communism And more!
I remember in my BtC run, I got cocky on the last phase and declared war on an FE. They awakened and actually kicked my ass. They tore through me and reached my capital in like months. Only survived because the engine managed to finished construction during occupation.
Really risky especially if that FE is the Keepers of Knowledge or the Enigmatic Observers or both coz even if you don't declare war on them, they'll awaken to fight a crisis, and if that crisis is you....
I like how he skipped the minerals while ontroducing resources that is for the gula- brave patriots who volunteered to go to space Siberia to know and for you to ignore.
the best thing about the menacing ship hulls is how madly cheap they are since they will only ever cost you minerals to build and don't care what you put on them.
9:50 you can fix the stability if you resettle exactly 1 of your founder pops on the planet that's being purged. It'll take an executive role immediately and return stability to the planet so it runs more efficiently
this is the best video i’ve seen to show someone how to play that hasn’t ever seen this game & keep them interested if they’re not used to paradox games. so funny
@MyDude199 I forgot, they weren't stealing stars, they were stealing planets. They would take them to throw into their sun in order to keep it burning. They weren't Irken, but I forget the name
I have no idea how I can sit here and watch this. I have never played this game. I've never understood this game, but when I watch you play anything I suddenly feel like an expert.
My friends still give me shit for what I did to the rat men I came across. All I did was, declare war on them, conquer their home world, round up and deport their entire species from across the galaxy, turn their home world into a massive prison, and hold them there for the rest of time until they ceased to exist.
I love how this guy plays the games that always interested me, but i never got to play them because i never bought a good PC! Especially not now with the exploding energy prices...
I love the hopeless concept of ghe galaxy pooling its combined might to break the robot menace, lest the whole galaxy be destroyed, fending off metallic murderers and psionic creatures appearing from rifts in space for the slim hope of survival. You begin to push back the machine menace, they retreat constantly and even have drawn the ire of the Fallen Empire who has arisen a mighty force to fell them. At the end of it all, perhaps there is hope for the universe. And then every star in the galaxy explodes.
It always makes me chuckle when people choose to 'become the crisis' and start consuming their own stars. Totally in character for Kleaper, but for most people, it's like no... those go into your enemies space... eat their stars!

No WAY WAY WAY to smart to be the Reapers. The Reapers relied on the entire galaxy running on the idiot ball approach to reality. Kleaper didn't.

If the Star Eaters take out enemy fleets when they consume, you could theoretically bait enemy fleets and just NUKE EM.
That would require very precise timing, otherwise you'd risk your Star Eaters to a superior fleet. And they are very very very difficult to replace.
They just go MIA, they're not actually destroyed

Space genocide with world crackers
Space genocide with galactic scale bomb
Space genocide with capitalism
Space genocide with communism

Other empires don't need a reason to attack you either since you're a determined exterminator and instead their war goal is to end threat
