Everyone at the begining - "The Snivlets are weak and can be easily killed later" Everyone now - "We cant kill the Snivlets, their to nice and make great trading partners" Congrats you have become Canada
Idazmi7 from that comment I'm guessing that you don't know to much about history. Wars Canada fought in - seven years war ( technically England and France) - war of eighteen twelve ( where we burned Washington to the ground and stopped the u.s army in its tracks) - First World War ( we were known as the shock troopers of Britain and conquered Vimy ridge, the Somme, and fought in pashendale. A Canadian also pioneered the use of gas masks) - Second World War ( think Normandy, and the Netherlands) - Korean War - Afghanistan - and others
@@whitneylackenbauer9782 _"from that comment I'm guessing that you don't know to much about history."_ No, I simply know that Canadian military power is generally kept at a comparative minimum and their involvement in any conflict relegated to a support role. Also no, the Seven Years War involved what would later become Canadian-owned territory, not Canada's "government" because at the time, Canada wasn't properly their own power any more than the United States was. Also, in 1812, the _British_ burned Washington and diverted the U.S. Army's attention from Canada, which is likely the only reason Canada still exists as a sovereign nation.
I'm only reminded of Jon's Fallout 4: Survival Mode run. The one where he went with the Brotherhood of Steel, and especially the moment at which he paused in his mission to give a rather cold-kind-of-evil speech about how Synths aren't people because Synths aren't Humans and that Grylls had no moral conflict in just shooting unarmed and helpless civilians because they aren't the right kind of people, despite all signs that show they're functionally the same as people. Episode 62 or 63, if I recall correctly.
Me: Makes jokes about how this run is slowly turning into Germany in late WW2 Jon: * titles video "The Extermination War" * Me: Oh no...err I mean ALL GLORY TO ZARQLAN!
@@BaronBytes USA was a super power before the war. German and Japanese analysts released their estimates of US production when mobilized for war. The war leaders laughed at the analysts, because the analysts had to be wrong. They were wrong, they badly underestimated the US, which would go on to provide OVER half of WWII industrial production
I mean... he's more like the british empire now... small colony to the north that ends up like paradise (Canada) and far east a giant amount of land with 'undesirable' natives
I think its time Jon opened the L-Gate and took the L-Cluster for himself. It would be the best place to hide just in case the Great Kahn/Awakened Fallen Empire/Endgame Crisis commits an orbital curbstomping that will be spoken about for Generations. Terminal Egress can often be the Galaxy's Hardest Border. I think Zarqlan's pilgrims (ALL GLORY TO ZARQLAN) along with his newly more powerful fleets (Thanks 0 Index) can beat the Nanite vessels pretty easily. Plus it will mess with the rest of the galaxy, and if Jon doesn't do it, another species will... And he will lose some of the best hold-out territory in the game.
Don't get rid of crappy planets, make them mote/crystal/other rare resources harvesters, you'll need a lot of motes to power the forge planet and more other rare resources the longer you play. Colonize two or three of those bad planets in your start system and start growing their pops to open building slots so later you can just slap down what you need and make only mines on those to provide minerals that will grow short.
Yeah, the first gateway to activate always triggers another random one to activate at the same time - perhaps its a technical thing that a gateway needs another active gateway to work.
Defeating the Scavenger leviathan gives the following rewards: Unlock the Nanite Repair System technology Gain two random Tier V component techs or a large amount of Engineering Research Engineering research if all techs were already researched The two broken planets in the system bring a total of 20 Minerals when mined I know you kinda don't need it now but you could get better shields at the least
Jon sell food too your allies then buy minerals, it's much cheaper. Every one loves me in my impossible run cause I am literally feeding the galaxy we even banded together to survive the end crisis, we may fail but we do so together and with full bellies, what more could you really ask for.
I decided to try this game set up. A war in Heaven kicked off in 2287 and then the Unbidden showed up in 2298. It's 2304 and roughly 900K fleet power is about to rock up at my blockade. I've managed to scrape together about 60K fleet power, 30K station and the +50% extra damage to endgame crisis assertion perk. That ain't gonna be close to enough. I am so so screwed!
Jon when you fix up a gateway another randomly selected one is automatically fixed up as to not leave your brand spanking new gateway completely useless
11:04 Has money, doesn't renew research assistance with the Curators. Also, at 11:42 all the wars he's counting on distracting the 0 Index are close to ending through war exhaustion. =>[.]
When we first encountered the Snivlet Friendship, they were...unassuming, to put it politely. To be blunt, they were pathetic. A relatively tiny empire without much technological advancement and barely keeping their citizens fed. They were quite literally surrounded by significantly more powerful empires who all sought to subjugate or just outright destroy them. They seemed harmless enough, so we agreed to trade with them, allow them within our borders, but...well. We all figured they'd be gone before the war with the 0 Index ended, frankly. What we didn't count on was their immense luck, and the sheer tenacity of the little rodents. We didn't expect them to come through their wormhole any time soon, let alone at such an opportune moment to attack. The spread like a wildfire and snapped the spine of the killbots' empire. They swept up huge swathes of land and hardened a defensive choke point before the 0 Index could even mount a substantial retaliation. And by the time they could...it was too late. The Snivlets had entrenched themselves too deep. The 0 Index spent huge amounts of resources to send a massive fleet against the Snivlets in a battle that was disgustingly one-sided. The robots hardly stood a chance. They broke their strength on the Snivlets at the Battle of Nupron in such a decisive and devastating loss that the entire war was arguably won then and there. But, what we didn't know at the time was that this was a very dangerous gamble for the fate of the entire galaxy...
at around the 55:00 minute mark, I love the short of callback Jon makes to the brotherhood of steel's way of thinking. After all its isn't murder if they're machines, AD VICTORIAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone else notice that just about every time Jon has to search a system, it’s literally the one in the middle of the screen? Jon’s -1 Perception hitting hard this episode.
Reminder: When you reactivate a gateway for the first time it will always randomly select another to be activated. That was the reason you saw an alert for two.
I mean, let em eat the Istran at least - that will close all their feild offices - and never give away land to an AI just because. The right play would be to take the Istran while they are crippled, heavily fortify some choke points to lure in the zero index, and then counter attack the zero index's wounded fleet and blitz their planets with an army megastack so they can't make armies or afford to rebuild.
Habitat's are good for extracting rare resources, if you build one over a source of rare crystals, rare gasses or volatile motes you can build a number of extractor buildings equal to the source of the resource.
Jon based on some basic math branch offices cost less than resources miners. on a cost to resource generation ratio especially considering minerals are worth more than energy.
Jon, you can build 2 each of Gas Extractors, Crystal Mines and Mote Traps on relic worlds! Thought that might be the kind of thing you'd overlook with your infamous 1 Perception. You can keep them if you upgrade to an Ecumonopolus.
Nope, they got wiped out in the previous part when he upgraded to an Ecumonopolis. Although what happens if they're already built when you upgrade is another thing...
4:58 All of the genocidal empires have better fleets. They get higher naval capacity and lower ship costs, so their fleets will be larger. Purifiers get increased fire rate, exterminators get increased ship weapon damage, and swarms get increased hull points (and all their ships get hull/armor regeneration), so even for the same fleet size their ships are stronger. Both purifiers and swarms get bonus army damage. 53:30 The first gateway restored/constructed automatically activates a second gateway somewhere else in the galaxy.
I've heard they've updated the AI since I last played, but if you need a 18k fleet to attack: Leave 10k or something in the system as bait. Then put your other 24k fleet at the jump point in an adjacent system. When the enemy jumps in and heads for your 10k fleet, jump your big fleet in and close the trap.
I started a new game a few weeks ago, a bit inspired by this run, I jacked up advanced starts and endgame power.... I decided I would play as a xenophobe for the first time to see how that changed the game. Here's what I learned about increasing advanced starts: all you are doing is saying multiple empires will not only have an advance start, they will have a massive boost from all of the non-advanced starts that they spawn next to. The empires unlucky enough to not be advanced starts are immediately, absolutely instantly eaten by the advanced starts. This effect seems to be magnified if you only increase the amount of advanced starts a bit, so that there is still plenty of prey to be eaten, yet there are enough advanced starts so they can be threatened by one another and encouraged to expand.
Anyway being a xenophobe in that world is a huge mistake, because you need protection very soon, and since you've already told every foriegn life form you've met to fuck off, well.......you've got to figure something else out. I spawned next to a xenophile who hated me (I hated u first) and the murder-error killbots. Killbots were selected for advanced, they ate everyone in every direction, they ate multiple empires that were marked as Overwhelmingly powerful compared to me, the bots crawled closer through the empty sectors toward me that I'd never dared settle on because it was futile, and I watched it come, my tiny, backwards kingdom, surrounded by hostile xenophiles (I mean let's be real they are right I was definitely going to try to kill them) So I threw ALL of my resources to reforming my culture to xenophiles. Killbots hit me, take a big chunk of my empire but not too much because they are also still eating everyone to the south, having eaten East and west. Finally a faction started that wanted like migration or something and I promoted them hard, I went through my planets and tried to get any xenophiles into better jobs (it has an effect!), And finally ......I converted to xenophile, the other nations who had been gradually warming up to me accepted me immediately, and we all formed a huge fleet and absolutely annihilated the deathbots. Xenophile forever!
Totally agree. When he's doing these Paradox conquest games it's absolutely a riveting in a total unapologetic geekfest. From capitalistic gerbils to donkey faces while worshiping a decapitated head and now death robot killers in the span of 8 weeks is off the rails. Totally bonkerz. Luv it.
Jon always gets me dusting off my shelved games. Now I'm split playing Borderlands 3 and my own Impossible Run. So far my death robots are on par with the 0-Index...
@@JamesJJSMilton Mare is busy in the Capital Wasteland showing the humans the power of Aniz Ooal Gown as well as other being foolish enough to fight Mare although Mare now a female due to the whole traveling to another world didn't work out as planned but did come with it's advantages 😂
Jon does know that he can prioritise a job above the rest without "shutting down jobs" right? Cause those don't get automatically filled when there's unemployment, you need to reactive them as far as I remember
On any other run, I'd say that Jon is gonna have a very nice and succesfull time. Then I remember that this is The Impossible Run and there could be War In Heaven, Crisis and Khan any second now.
I recently started a stellaris run like yours but i got sort of both really lucky and unlucky with my start, i had 2 megastructures but everyone around me were either hiveminds of megacorps. literally half the galaxy were megacorps so i never got good mega gameplay. Nice to actually see how it is done
If you want to really see how strong a megacorp is, you have to play with players, the ai has real issues growing planets. I played one where I was on 4 planets(all converted into ecumenopollis) and 20 systems the whole game. My 110 branch offices gave me the energy to buy the food to feed +600 pop, minerals for ~1500 alloy production, and 2500 fleet capacity. I had ten 250K fleets and soloed 5x crisis strength war in heaven. It was pretty stupid.
@@alluvium1465 Yeah my only problem with that (apart from a lack of friends who play this great game) is that it really tanks on my system so it runs rather slowly
@@verdantsquire950 It does on mine too. Stellaris runs faster for me in MP because the host picks up a lot of the processing, and I am never the host. Later on you do get input lag though, so get used to putting in orders that take 2-3 seconds to register.
I always take the Oracle. She's pretty good with crime prevention. Late game, she's helpful and actually trustworthy. My overpopulation problems can be mitigated 😂😂
Ended up in this exact situation with my own killbot game😂 although I had a great khan between me and the killbots. Made a federation with some of my old friends and are now slowly pushing them back. There are two killbot factions though. But they get assault by a fallen empire in the middle of their territory.
The oracle is a monster, but its bonuses are so good its almost worth it. +10 stab, -45% crime, +20% unity, and immortal. Only downside is a -10% science from jobs, but so good in an area where science isnt the issue. +20 admin cap is universally decent but kinda boring in comparison. Oracle is maybe the next best governor after Gray imo
Also, as a side note Jon, containment wars typically only end due to war exhaustion because each time you conquer the system, it’s no longer considered ‘occupied’. It’s just yours. Not sure if it’s a bug or if it’s just the point to have containment wars be almost impossible to peace out on, but it’s actually easier to fight the war to conclusion than to peace out of a containment war.
It's intentional. Containment wars (and extermination wars which is the counterpart for genocidal empires) are total wars, meaning there's no rules, no war goal and no surrender and the only possible end is one empire dying or war exhaustion. So if you lose a planet to a genocidal empire you have to hurry to recapture it or there might be no one left to save...
LONG LIVE THE MIGHTY DUCKS! IF THE GALAXY MUST DIE THEN MAY THE INFINITE POND FIND BLUER PASTURES! I will never forget the mighty ducks for beginning mine and Jon's journey into Stellaris.
Killing that gigantic scavenger bot nets a couple of guaranteed full research. Including possibly neutronium armour, high level lasers, shields, etc etc. If I'm correct. Least that's what happened for me 😂
Jon made a big mistake not attacking the 0 Index fleet when it was first building up and he overpowered it. Letting it grow to 36000+ was a stupid mistake. It was only 22K and only 2 jsystens away and he let it sit there and build for way too long. Jon is so cunning in some ways but such a clueless numbskull in others! It can be painful to watch...
Does anyone know which livestream Jon came up with the Snivlets of Snorf? I haven't been able to look through the Utopia Livestreams yet, although been meaning to.

I played one where I was on 4 planets(all converted into ecumenopollis) and 20 systems the whole game. My 110 branch offices gave me the energy to buy the food to feed +600 pop, minerals for ~1500 alloy production, and 2500 fleet capacity. I had ten 250K fleets and soloed 5x crisis strength war in heaven. It was pretty stupid.
@@alluvium1465 Yeah my only problem with that (apart from a lack of friends who play this great game) is that it really tanks on my system so it runs rather slowly
@@verdantsquire950
It does on mine too. Stellaris runs faster for me in MP because the host picks up a lot of the processing, and I am never the host. Later on you do get input lag though, so get used to putting in orders that take 2-3 seconds to register.
I always take the Oracle. She's pretty good with crime prevention. Late game, she's helpful and actually trustworthy. My overpopulation problems can be mitigated 😂😂
You are a _Manager_ , aren't you?
Ended up in this exact situation with my own killbot game😂 although I had a great khan between me and the killbots. Made a federation with some of my old friends and are now slowly pushing them back. There are two killbot factions though. But they get assault by a fallen empire in the middle of their territory.
I’ve always taken the Oracle. Great for crime prevention, and is a free, skilled governor. Never had any problems with it.
"let's do the purging somewhere else" 0.o
I feel like this is a prequel to Starsector.
The fall starts when John assigns an alpha core to govern one of his colonies.
i'm just waiting to 0 index is defeated and 10 years later all the fallen empires awaken and a war in heaven can start
Jon is one of your planets named after a unit for the Holy Roman Empire in Medieval 2. Forlorn hope
nah its a place in fallout NV
I know I have said a lot but..... your only one job is to unplug robots just made me shoot whiskey out of my nose
“ so we are receiving a transmission from the Internet pond quack quack quack quack quack quack quack!
The oracle is a monster, but its bonuses are so good its almost worth it. +10 stab, -45% crime, +20% unity, and immortal. Only downside is a -10% science from jobs, but so good in an area where science isnt the issue. +20 admin cap is universally decent but kinda boring in comparison.
Oracle is maybe the next best governor after Gray imo
@@pbsixgun6 honestly, not sure. I've never seen any but its very possible there is
Also, as a side note Jon, containment wars typically only end due to war exhaustion because each time you conquer the system, it’s no longer considered ‘occupied’. It’s just yours.
Not sure if it’s a bug or if it’s just the point to have containment wars be almost impossible to peace out on, but it’s actually easier to fight the war to conclusion than to peace out of a containment war.
It's intentional. Containment wars (and extermination wars which is the counterpart for genocidal empires) are total wars, meaning there's no rules, no war goal and no surrender and the only possible end is one empire dying or war exhaustion. So if you lose a planet to a genocidal empire you have to hurry to recapture it or there might be no one left to save...
Exantius E, thank you for explaining that. I always wondered if it was intentionally difficult, and that does make sense.
58:28 Jon is 118 years into the game and still hasn't researched T2 Kinetic weapons.
*Cries in technocracy.
he isnt planning on doing that, hes purely energy weapon focused in that regard
Jon has always been a plasma weapon/arc emitter player. He doesn't use kinetics.
Jon is becoming a bit of a boss of this universe! :D
Considering he's playing as the CEO of a megacorp. He *Literally* a boss.
Polish English 🎶Like a Boss🎶
0INDEX NOOO :c i was rooting for the mechanical murderhobos since the start!
Hmm.... I think you should had just pressed on until they are annihilated. They way to dangerous if kept alive.
But if Jon stopped now, they might take back that valuable territory on the west of his Eastern Snivlet Empire, win-win
you need to do regenerative hull tissue
LONG LIVE THE MIGHTY DUCKS! IF THE GALAXY MUST DIE THEN MAY THE INFINITE POND FIND BLUER PASTURES! I will never forget the mighty ducks for beginning mine and Jon's journey into Stellaris.
Ooh Science Nexus... That means you can build a second one :3
My brain is too small to play this game for myself, but I always love watching Jon play it
Killing that gigantic scavenger bot nets a couple of guaranteed full research. Including possibly neutronium armour, high level lasers, shields, etc etc. If I'm correct. Least that's what happened for me 😂
"EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!!!!" - R2D2 or something.
I'm pretty sure it was the Borg from the Harry Potter book series
Where would we be without Zarqlan
Hope some L-Gate shenanigans come into play.
My goodness, all glory to Zarqlan.
My life is all about this series
ALL GLORY TO ZARQLAN!
31:47 you would know if you checked the battle report, which is the notification that looks like a list with a sword
Orbital Stamping doesn't seem very threatening in the context of Stellaris.
Jon made a big mistake not attacking the 0 Index fleet when it was first building up and he overpowered it. Letting it grow to 36000+ was a stupid mistake. It was only 22K and only 2 jsystens away and he let it sit there and build for way too long. Jon is so cunning in some ways but such a clueless numbskull in others! It can be painful to watch...
could it be that he was doing it on purpose? I mean
look at me. i am the killbots now!
Did he notice that the Zarqlan fleets have a Jump Drive pre-installed? Might have missed it if he did.
So... Are you killing Shard yet?
i see you gratineret zapp brannigan school warfare
Does anyone know which livestream Jon came up with the Snivlets of Snorf? I haven't been able to look through the Utopia Livestreams yet, although been meaning to.
Aww I wanted to see how far the 0 Index made it on it’s own.
Please turn some of the zero Index land into a puppet, It be weird and counter to your tall playstyle to hold all of it.
