I remember playing CK2 a long time ago, I pledged to join the Byzantine empire and three days later the emperor died and I was elected as the new one. I was flabbergasted. It’s something that just seems to happen in Paradox games lol.
I once had a game with a frend. Where we were standing against a snowballed khan(modded) because he was on the other side of the galaxy from us. We could only defend until we build bigger fleets. Just about when we where about to be hit by the khan himself we got a some messages: 1. our federation got disbanded 2. we are now vassals 3. the khan is now emperor(my frend was custodian) The khan pretty much just walked into the galactic headquarters and had his followers put his chair there and sat down. Funniest shit that had happen to me in a while.
Every politician in the galaxy: "Urgh, they are forcing us to vote for a Galactic custodian, but there is no way they'll vote for me, and I'm not voting for any of them. Wait! I'll vote for that guy that never shows up for any of the meetings, he obviously can't be bothered so he'll never do anything with the role, and I'll be free to do what I want!" 5 years later "What do you mean he declared himself Galactic Emperor and demanded we give up 90% of all our resources and told us to prepare for assimilation?!"

I am surprised they didnt keep it open whether or not the horizon needle worked. My favorite part of the original crisis path was that they gave no indication on whether you ascended or just blew yourself up.
They did leave it quite open though. Sure, the Horizon Needle worked... but you had no idea what you were getting yourself into. Are you stranded in the shroud, to be consumed by higher beings, or did you travel elsewhere? And if you did move on somewhere else, is it better than the shroud? Just entering the ancient rift to begin with damaged the Horizon Needle. Not critically, but even minor damage from its maiden voyage is an ill omen to the fate of your people.
Congratulations on creating your ideal paradisiacal universe with the Horizon Needle! I am certain that it has explosively self-replicating paperclips! All the paperclips you could ever need in your entire existence!
@@A_Spec Sorry for my ignorance! Clearly, "enough paperclips" is an exclusively theoretical concept that can never be achieved in practice. We will ALWAYS need more paperclips, in this universe and the next!

I look forward to hearing about people using the Birch World Origin with the Virtualization Path. That would delight my senses.

That combined with Modularity and that civic that boosts your L/XL Mounts would be an almost perfect Reaper roleplay

It would be cool to have a "new game +" waiting for the player after completing the game in such fashion, with new galaxy, new entities, but appropriately more difficult, and sufficiently weird/different from the regular stuff, fitting the story of entering new universe.
Would the new universe be harder? Considering the story, would it not be easier? Starting with as a awakened empire capable od changing the laws of reality.

Or maybe the crisis factions got there first, before spilling out into our galaxy. Of course easier universe is as likely as harder one, but from gameplay perspective an easy one makes little sense, while harder, or even straight out hardcore one, would offer great "new game +" opportunity, and extend one's game session considerably. If you additionally make it so it's only possible to access it via ascension within your game, and add a few dozen of different combinations of how it's going to look like in your game, and you have just given this game a huge replayability boost, beyond any of the superficial addons introduced in the latest patches.

@@classicfrog80 The reason why you choose to leave the current universe behind is because its too old and too hard to manipulate.

@A_Spec How to Get -100% Empire Size From Pops as Gestalt Builds. With Virtuality you can have pops that build instantly, become immortal, don't need housing, and don't contribute to Empire Size. Paradox is surely going to nerf this, so enjoy it while it lasts: -10% Empire Pop Size (Domination) -15% Empire Pop Size (Synchronicity) -05% Empire Pop Size (Statecraft) [Statecraft also Buffs your Ruler XP to get it to level 10 Quickly] -15% Empire Pop Size (Virtuality) -20% Empire Pop Size (OTA Updates) [Gestalt Civic] -03% Empire Pop Size Per Ruler Level (Gestalt) [-30% Level 10] -10% Empire Pop Size Streamlined Protocols (Gestalt Trait) -10% Empire Pop Size (Balance in the Middle) [Greater Good Resolution in the Galactic Community]
@@hecklerkoch7470 That doesn't reduce Empire Size. Empire Size above 100 increases tradition and technology costs. If you can keep your Size around 100-110 you can tech rush really fast. Ascending Planets to Tier 10 only helps so much. When you have 1500-2000 pops it can slow down your research speed quite a bit. When you have 0 Empire Size from Pops you can play Tall and while having a wide empire.
@@OrderOfArcera349 are you sure? Last time i play unemployment pop in virtual machine instantly disapaear after calculation tick, your empire size will be just from pop that not gone and other like system and planet
Wait... every time you meet quota it creates a consumer goods deposit that can be mined for more consumer goods? I would say that seems really strong but... what are you going to use it for besides creating more consumer goods lmao
@@A_Spec I don't know the exact point, but one of them was creating a pile on Tierg-something and then the Tierg system showed an unexploited Consumer products deposit with size 2. So yeah, it DOES create deposits, but spending some 20k for a 2 deposit means like 10k months until it pays off. There were a few other times when there was consumer goods deposits on screen in systems that didn't initially have them. You can check it real easy tough, since your starting system starts out with a CG deposit, so you can just check if it has that planet modifier.
"As galactic custodian, the people of the galaxy choose you to defend us from the horrible khan. The future of the galaxy is in your hands!" *robot emerging from scrooge mcduck pool of paperclips* "what was that?"
Looks like an interesting expansion, just pre-ordered it. That Colosus weapon looks interesting, turning enemy planets into planets ruled by cavemen. This origin seems a tad overpoweredy, I don't know about any signals on the Horizon, but i definitely see "balance changes" coming already :P With this origin, you don't even need a science nexus or matter decompressor. Though getting to play as a fallen empire, with all their tech, definitely seems like fun.
That particular WMD, is from another DLC, not the upcoming one. The dlc about primitives, "first contact". In case you don't have it, and expect that particular ship component from upcoming dlc.
Also, worth adding, this upcoming dlc, effectively opens up huge galaxy maps for late gameplay.. as it basically allows you to effectively remove lag, by harvesting pops for computer chips. So.. it has this additional utility to it too.
When will we get our first giga structure??? I like how kilo structure, mega structure also allows more variety for megastructure fun with mid and late game stuff to build and maximize your system usage.
I have this funny mental image of your robots shooting a blaster and while it's flying the bolt wraps around itself to become a paper clip. Edit: in a regular empire will pops automatically resettle into the Lathe?
It is. Just in the future. Everything what is ever going to happen, already happened. Time is a conditional phenomenon, and is mailable.. But if physics aren't ur thing.. u just going to have to wait another 50 hrs 😅
@A_Spec u could have invaded those primitives. All u needed was to build an observation post and set ur pre ftl policy to aggressive interference and it would allow u to invade

Great more Op machine.....
Btw why not make cheap synth pops? Like easy to build just for sacrifice for lathe.
That was a pretty good watch. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it
Brains for the paperclip god!
Really find arc welders crazy. Is there a requirement of Dyson swarm?
Just the tech
@@A_Spec should have specified does the tech have requisits?
why isnt the dlc available to me right now! ugh i want to play it so bad damn you paradox
Imagine this with the cybrex mining station
And oh boy he does
Hey Aspec, what was the song playing at the intro of the video?
It's one of the new songs for the expansion, it slaps.
So long, and thanks for paperclips
This was a nice enjoyable play though ❤
Looks like an interesting expansion, just pre-ordered it. That Colosus weapon looks interesting, turning enemy planets into planets ruled by cavemen. This origin seems a tad overpoweredy, I don't know about any signals on the Horizon, but i definitely see "balance changes" coming already :P With this origin, you don't even need a science nexus or matter decompressor. Though getting to play as a fallen empire, with all their tech, definitely seems like fun.
That particular WMD, is from another DLC, not the upcoming one. The dlc about primitives, "first contact". In case you don't have it, and expect that particular ship component from upcoming dlc.
Also, worth adding, this upcoming dlc, effectively opens up huge galaxy maps for late gameplay.. as it basically allows you to effectively remove lag, by harvesting pops for computer chips. So.. it has this additional utility to it too.
When will we get our first giga structure??? I like how kilo structure, mega structure also allows more variety for megastructure fun with mid and late game stuff to build and maximize your system usage.
Elowiny is the person to ask
I have this funny mental image of your robots shooting a blaster and while it's flying the bolt wraps around itself to become a paper clip.
Edit: in a regular empire will pops automatically resettle into the Lathe?
Yes, you can set a species purge option to send them into the lathe at a pace of 1 per month
@@A_Spec I was thinking Egal, Xenophile where you can't relocate or purge?
HE LIVES!!
He’s back!
Hey I was wondering when this will come out on console
any specific DLCs needed?
When are they going to bring mods to the console edition
I wish it was out now
It is. Just in the future. Everything what is ever going to happen, already happened. Time is a conditional phenomenon, and is mailable.. But if physics aren't ur thing.. u just going to have to wait another 50 hrs 😅
@A_Spec u could have invaded those primitives. All u needed was to build an observation post and set ur pre ftl policy to aggressive interference and it would allow u to invade
