One is putting it lightly. Last game I played, democratic cybernetic space elves tried to end the entire galaxy and the rest of the galactic community got mad at me after I forcibly devolved one half the species and had an alien god fart on the other half. I only did the most logical response any reasonable sentient being would do.
This is so close to reality, that the few games it doesn't happen in are exceptions to prove the normal. One would have to go out of their way to even attempt to make a non-genocide* run work out, set up peaceful other players in game creation, and then pray to the random dice generator. For there are ways to deal with the hungers and purifiers, but when the random number generator decides to blow up a pre-FTL world.... *ignoring tomb worlds, for if you count those then geocide happens pregame.
In Stellaris one can accidentally commit genocide. In one playthrough a science ship's core went critical and happened to crash into the home world of a pre-FTL civilization. This killed the entire species. Due to our ethics this held like a dark cloud over my empire for four hundred years.
Try being a Rogue Servitor and accidentally wiping out one of your own bio-worlds. I think my human literally blue-screened when that happened.... All I know is I woke up in the past, and that alternative universe never happened. I don't think I will ever forget that feeling.
An empire went to war with me and won, a few decades later I cracked every world in their empire, sold off most surrounding systems to their enemy, and cracked all other worlds so they have no more planets aside from 1 colony I bombarded until they had 1 population and no buildings
"Our game is suitable for all ages!" The game: "Multiple galactic level genocides, thousands of war crimes, trillions of deaths, galactic annihilation, slavery, free will is a joke, what was shall be what shall be was, blorg."
Do not forget vivisections. It happened to me in my first ever game with the first empire I met. Though it would be an obvious theme, I was so unprepared for it that I actually felt sick for a while thinking about it. Of course, I had to get the achievement in my next playthrough. 😂
When you crack your opponent's home planet and wipe their fleet but they're the one getting sanctions because being under 60% naval cap is a breach of galactic law I love the space UN
And the best part about it is, if you get the Contingency crisis, it's later revealed that the Cybrex weren't completely eradicated and had a second ring world in hiding, and they've become active again to defend the galaxy. They're the only sentient precursor empire that not only committed genocide to many organic empires, they survived their own. Talk about badass.
You know the game has some really brutal stuff in it when you can genocide alien species via an actual plague. Seriously, in my current playthrough, I legitimately wiped out an entire race of primitives who had already achieved the Industrial Age by helping a minor epidemic on their planet become a horrifying pandemic that was several times more deadly than the Black Death. Now, I was playing a xenophile, materialist, authoritarian Human Empire at the time, so you might be wondering why I would let my xenophile Empire wipe out a minor, harmless species. It's because their planet was a size 30 Gaia World. And if your Empire doesn't control a lot of habitable worlds, a size 30 gaia world suddenly makes commiting heinous atrocities seem much less evil.
Xenophiles can't conquer primitive planets because it interferes with their development but they have no problem killing them with a genetically-engineered plague.
Why not just secretly indoctrinate them until they have matching ideals, give them technology until they become FTL-capable, then refuse to give them control over their home system? Then you'd have both the gaia world AND the pops on it
@@NoName-hg6ccnah man just wanting other peoples stuff that ain't capitalism that's just what life does. life forms take what they need and want capitalism is an economic system not a reason for genocide your probably joking though
If I had an energy credit for every time the Commonwealth recruited a genocidal AI I'd have 2 credits, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
Just remembered a Stellaris SP game I had recently. The Galaxy was primarily inhabited by Empires I had made, and amongst them were two devouring swarms. These swarms were on opposite sides of the galaxy, and they were singlehandidly responsible for the complete genocide or near complete genocide of almost 6 species across 5 empires. One of the only empires fully conquered by a devouring swarm was the greater Imperii Romanum priginating on Terra. Enclaves of the Human species survived in every corner of nearby empires, euther due to refugees or migration pacts. Surprisingly, after a Galactic Federation universal migration pact, the extremely adaptive Humans managed to still become the fifth most populus Species on the galaxy despite having their empire entirely destroyed. These devouring swarms were both destroyed eventually. The one thay destroyed the Imperii Romanum was destroyed first, right before the Great Galactic War between the Galactic Union Federation and the Urian Cartel and it's Vassals. This war resulted in the awakening of two of the four Fallen Empires and the complete domination of galactic politics by The Federation. Soon after the Unbidden arrived and were dealt with at small cost as Our Theocracy, recently put under eternal rule of the Chosen of the Instrument of Desire, managed to rally most of the federation against the existential threat despite the ongoing war against the last Swarm. Soon after the Unbidden were banished we briefly turned north and managed to defeat the swarm. Despite being conquered in their entirety, unlike the swarm that took Terra, the drones were ot all put to extermination as The Protectors, the vurrent Federation leader, had mastered genetics and managed to assimilate them instead.
Listen according to the unbiased galactic council, which is entirely staffed by my species, my empire has never committed a genocide after doing its own internal review.
The stellaris crimes are way worse but they are also more abstracted. Setting an entire species to the livestock living standard doesn't feel as brutal as killing and eating dave
Doesn't include one of the most nightmarish situations I ever saw in game. A Pre FTL developed into a full fledged star faring race, but they were trapped, on one side the Dimensional Horror on the other they were right on the border with the Fallen Xenophobes. Imagine being stuck forever in a cycle of getting slaughtered decade after decade from one galactic neighbor while being trapped unable to flee because the only way out is controlled by a massive monster that kills all ships crossing into it's space. Needless to say, but no one was willing to help them by making that race their vassal. Might not qualify as a genocide, but you'd pretty much have to be fatalistic about life knowing every few years your extremely overpowered neighbor is going to bash your home world into the ground, kill off most of your leaders, wipe out your fleet, kill off a lot of the people you've know all your life, and then come do it again just a few years later with no way to ever escape.
Look, if you didn't want me to neutron sweep the Katzen homeworld then you should have given me the 50k worth of ground forces I'd have needed to invade.
Man. I remember the Burner questline and how just sad it all was in the end. I was really hoping that we would rebirth their species in some way to bring them back into existence. Even as I played as an empire that wasn’t exactly on good terms with anything xenos related.
I remember my devouring swarm game was so fun because an enemy federation had a much superior economy so I snuck behind enemy lines and took their industrial worlds and moved everyone off world and abandoned the planet, kept doing it till I leveled the playing field.
Our Imperium is besieged, across a thousand worlds we fight for survival, there is no respite, there is no mercy. in our darkest hour a spiteful universe awakens forgotten evils to break us, our forces are few, and our enemies many. But as long as we draw breath we will fight. The galaxy burns, yet still we stand, the last bulwark against the terror. There can be no peace, for in this new dark age there is only war.
YEP! Few days ago i made the "Children of Cut'hulu" a mulloscoid underground dwelled hivemind then i proceeded to literaly eat the neighbouring empire into their extinction
If the Stellaris human empires were to see the alien xenocides the Transcendence from Xeelee Sequence did on a super galaxy cluster level they would be quite flabbergasted most likely.
@@StarboyXL9 I was talking about the Transcendence though. They may have lost to the Xeelee when they finally came into a full on warring conflict with them but before then the entire Super Galaxy Cluster was at the mercy of the Transcendence humans dominion.
Every single one of my stellaris playthroughs has some kind of genocide. A lot due to me being tired of the lag Also y’all know those memes of “what if you were charged for the crimes you did in a video game” stellaris bro’s its over for us
Isn’t there the genocide where one of your science ships enters the atmosphere of a random planet or something and you kill all the microorganisms, leaving your ship ‘in the largest cemetery of the galaxy’? Or am I tripping?
That one event chain about the species of utopian pacifist artisan terraformers who were genocided by the Militant Isolationist Fallen Empire is probably the saddest story in the game, besides the Baol.
Everytime I find the last Boal, always use the seedling to make a gaia world then make it a resort world if I can for the new Boal to live on as full citizens and excluded from my military. My main plant species "got very angry" upon finding the last Boal and went out of their way to wipe out all none pascist empires. I left the peaceful ones alone. Start a war? Your on my target list now for that play through.
Great video! I really like that you put music in this video, it really increases the immersion by a good amount! I wonder though why you didn't put the Total War of the Cybrex onto the list, since we know that they annihilated multiple stellar empires.

First playthrough I thought 'hey this robot look good' and found myself playing the Borg. I tried to be moral, I really did, but then I found the Nanite Super Weapon and... well.... If they didn't want to join my collective they wouldn't have let me put that thing in orbit! PS: I am proud that my Borg managed to use Diplomacy to convince the third largest empire to allow assimilation into the collective. Like I said, I was very moral right up till I discovered there was a far easier way to get people into the collective. I was already slipping before then, few pre-FTL races disappeared and I might have had something to do with it, but.... Come on, Nanite Assimilation was just too easy!
I once ran into the Baol playing my Agricultural pacifist people. They got their own planet. I had them sprout, turn it into a Gaia world and let them repopulate. Then when we transcended into Cyborgs, they learned to not react so slow. When The Contingency came for us all, their homeworld was one of the bulwarks that helped hold them at bay.
@@isuckatusernames4297 No, i got the quest line and completed it. One of the options is you can make gaia worlds, but if you do it creates baols. I did it and made that gaia world only for the baols.
There's 2 little species that I know of that die, one kills themselves by trying to break free out of their world which was an animal and the other you kill by accident just by scanning them. But you can revive the 2nd one don't worry.
One of my favorite builds is voidborn purifiers. Never set foot on a planet. Just armageddon bomb speed run enemy empires. When their last pop dies their empire just snaps out of existance. Think i cleaned out most of the galactic north in less than 20 years. Interestingly enough everyone up there was also either a fanatic purifier, determined exterminator, or devouring swarms. Also one lonesome isolationist.
I don't know why, but genocides in this game feel really hard. Is it because those who were killed were faceless, nameless logs on my computer? Is it because they suffered enough before being dead? I don't really know. I can't really express emotion, but when I play Stellaris, I do it by playing fanatic Xenophile Pacifist.
@@TheRedKing Yeah, it's really convenient to have only just 1 or 2 species. I however am a massive Star Trek fan, and I love the United Federation of Planets. So, I play a massive Federation. By the way, Your Majesty, happy advanced Halloween.
If people knew it would come to this, nobody would go to war. But most people are pushed by something, forced to march into hell. That 'something' wasn't their choice. Their situation or others made them do it. But people who push their own backs see a different kind of hell. They can see something beyond the hell. It might be hope. It may even be another hell. Only those who keep moving forward will ever know.
I have recently started Stellaris and had a massive problem with pop growth(since fixed with the realization that there is other tech than just military) So I started a run with slavery in mind to pad out the slow growth. Fast forward 20 years and I discover a pre ftl atomoc civ well on it's way to join us in space exploration. I invade them, I enslave them and they rebel because I am bad at the game so the only choice is a purge via labor so that I can extract some value. After they are gone I am left with a 30% hab desert world that my lizard people can't live on so I abandoned the planet. TLDR: I invaded a planet, killed it's people and left because it was trash. It's certainly not the biggest genocide, but I think it's quite sad.
I had one planet of undesirables working a farming planet, every ten years during elections I would introduce the "cosmic Mc rib" set the purge to produce food from undesirables, then reactivate another food world to produce the Mulan sauce. Keep it going a few years then stop, repeat. I like thinking by selling spare food on the market I was bringing the galaxy closer 😂
The first one about the megacorp controled ai is reasonable imagine you were tasked with an impossible task and every year people would go in get mad at you for not doing the impossible and taking part of your body and try to manipulate your mind. If you were in that situation you to would go mad.

What dlc did you need for that to happen? It's not in 3.3
That is so cool
“This game has genocide”
Wait till you find out who’s been causing it.
"of course I know him, he's me."
Oh noo... what a shame I blew Up their homeworld! Whoops, happens to anybody really!
We're just optimizing our computers performance.
No, the IA empire also do genocides
I once Cracked 25 planets in 1 playthrough just because they pissed me off
Rookie numbers.
A true xenophobic mass murder would use star killers.
I became the Crisis when they killed bubbles.
An empire went to war with me and won, a few decades later I cracked every world in their empire, sold off most surrounding systems to their enemy, and cracked all other worlds so they have no more planets aside from 1 colony I bombarded until they had 1 population and no buildings

My personal favorite is taking an intelligent and advanced species and nerve stapling them and using them as livestock.

If they were more competent they'd be the ones cracking your worlds, it's just pure darwinism.
“This game has genocides” yeah that’s why I own it
I remember that one event where you science vessel lands on a microorganism civilization and absolutely wipes them out except few specimens
It's strange that the cybrex isn't on this list, they destroyed multiple xeno empires and species in their prime.
Probably because they stopped halfway iirc. For stellaris lore, that is somewhat tame. Which...says a lot about stellaris and the PEGI system.
And the best part about it is, if you get the Contingency crisis, it's later revealed that the Cybrex weren't completely eradicated and had a second ring world in hiding, and they've become active again to defend the galaxy.

The first one about the megacorp controled ai is reasonable imagine you were tasked with an impossible task and every year people would go in get mad at you for not doing the impossible and taking part of your body and try to manipulate your mind.

I call my machine "Lag's Bane"
It's called the Genova Suggestion list
New player here. I just won my first game by geocoding 3 empires through cracking all their stars. It was fun
Well done :)

Wake up babe, new stellaris lore dropped
"Now up next on WatchMojo, Top 10 Genocides in Stellaris History"

Reminds me of certain dude who claims that at some point, those numbers are just statistics.
Only five ?!?!
This list of Genocides in stellaris is incomplete.
**You can help by expanding it**
The galaxy needs you son!

If irassians chose synthetic evolution AP, they could avoid their extinction
True!
I commit at least 4 every game
