I'm sure this is what Paradox had planned for a sponsored video: 20 minutes of species narative and 10 minutes of gameplay :D. All kidding aside it's a really cool en pretty well thought through backstory. Looking forward to the continuing Let's play series. The ringworld start looks rough but very interesting !
All the intriguing origins stuff aside, I'm so happy we're getting a new background after all this time. Apocalypse did get a bit old to look at after a while.
Did notice something about the blockers and the districts on the ringworld. 1. the decrepit tunnels blockers give you rare resources and minerals (400 minerals and 100 gas on the one you moused over) 2. districts cost 100 rare resources (the research one cost 100 gas) 3. the district description reads that the Arcane Generator will update and will provide the upkeep for the new district. So I think since you have 3 tunnels you can build one more district from each kind.
@@definitelyaperson6334 Not yet as far as I know. They've released the Megacorp DLC not that long ago, and it should take some time before they'll get to Federations.
If you don't already have it, you should get the achievement Put A Ring On It just by starting a game with this origin, since your capital is already on a ring world.
@@rathernotsaynoneofyoubuiss2611 If it is still intact and hasn't fallen apart the available space would still be unimaginably larger than Earth. It is millions of kilometers long. Even a fraction of a fraction of it would be beyond massive.
Your average star-circling Niven Ring would have millions of times of more surface area than Earth does, another case of sci-fi creators having no sense of scale my guy. Just role with it m8.
@@duckboiii4441 you fail to realise the scale of the thing. The length of Mercury's orbit is in the range of 300,000,000 km. Earth's equator's length is 40,000 km.
Love the backstory for you species! I got a real Mass Effect vibe from the description of the caretakers and the hyper lanes opening up. Btw your flag symbol totally looks more like the Stargate symbol than Pac-Man.
Who's to say that the ruler of this alien culture is not considered to be the embodiment of a committee of all of the past rulers. Maybe there is a full High Council (plural) in their individual person.
I love this setup Quill - you have basically re-created the setting of Ring World, one of the best science fiction adventure stories, and the book that introduced the concept of a ring world to the world.
15:30 The only time I ever turned off the guaranteed habitable world I ended up with half a dozen of them (including a Gaia world) in a 5 jumps radius of my homeworld, plus another seven that became inhabitable via events or technology. Suffice to say I run out of all my luck with that game.
3:30 There is nothing small or contained about a segment of a Ringworld. That's a loop around the sun. A 1/8th size segment (each habitable segment in game appears to be 1/8th of the ring) would have about 9,000 Earths worth of surface area. (Math to follow) The total circumference, assuming 1 AU radius, would be nearly 600 million miles. If the ring has a width that is the same as the circumference of the Earth (which would be absolutely tiny at this scale), then that segment would have about 1.7 Trillion or so square miles of surface area. Earth has about 200 Million square miles of surface area.
Regarding the Hyperlane network theory you have; it's interesting, and plausible. I've got my own personal theory that Hyperlanes aren't actually the only areas a hyperdrive can use; they're just the best, most reliable way to /navigate/ in subspace. Other ways are enough to get a ship back to its home base, but not reliable enough for anything else. Or at least, that's my take on how the mechanics work. Your take also works, as the ships might still have warp drives - or Starports wormhole generators - to get MIA fleets back to their space.
The machine FE has the ringworlds 3 of them. The Xenophile FE has the planet called The Preserve which are the one that ask for a couple of pops to preserve the species.
Lol, I just got the expansion, started playing before watching this. Went with almost the exact same setup. Ringworld start is crazy strong, even before you get the tech to actually rebuild it.
I'm actually more excited about the AI being functional and the performance actually being playable. The Origins are neat, and I do like that I can take my normal Mechanist or Syncretic Evo start without tying up civics, but the AI and Performance were basically the two main things holding the game back at this point.
Wheezywaiter was actually the originator! Man...I miss that old UA-cam era. I consider myself really lucky to have run into the vlogbrothers channel in the early brotherhood 2.0 days.
@@quill18 Ooh whoops. That's just where I know it from. John Green has actually had a great influence in my life and kinda became a rolemodel for me now. So I'm glad you met them all that long ago. I'm glad I had found Crash Course History when I was a kid and watched them all! Thus kindling the fire I had for my now degree course.
The history of the Onators is long and mostly forgotten. Coming from a lost world of warring factions, a world said to of been bathed in the hell of nuclear armageddon. The Oni - or Saviors - came and took us and some of our old world far across the heavens to the star of Preserve. There - on a section of the giant wheel that circled the star we were born. So many generations passed. Our old name, our old tongue and even our old beliefs withered like dead leaves from a tree. Our Elders - Called Quill18s - pass these tales on to keep our history alive. But much has been forgotten. We took to calling ourselves 'One Eighters' - named for the section of the ring we called home. We traded and mingled with other species on the other sections of the ring (through not directly - Segregation Fields prevented it) But our cultures, our cultures blended. This was truly paradise. But, the trouble with paradise - it never lasts forever. The Oni dwindled. Something called 'war' had decimated them - and soon sickness crept among the remaining. More and more robots took over jobs as Oni died off. Until one day the Oni disappeared..... But even the robots died, no one was left to maintain them or replace them. Generations passed as the Ring deteriorated and crumbled. Whole sections collapsed killing millions upon millions - species segregation fields preventing the escape of the other species. Soon the Onators were alone. The maintenance robots gone and no control of life support or maintenence. Crops withered and water tainted. Our fate was sealed, our people wept at our inevitable extinction. We were doomed. Or so it seemed.... A lone Oni, old and decrepid. Withered almost to a husk appeared. He was the last of his kind - his name was Ranosian. H e had traveled far to do his duty as a caretaker, and lamented that he was too late to save the others. We carried him to our Chiefs hut. Ranosians breath grew labored, but his eyes sparked with determination. His final gift to us was two machines. A machine, small and hand held, that gave control of Section 18 to us. The second - gave us knowledge. Knowledge to advance and leave the Ring. Ranosian died - his final duty done. The Onators held a grand funeral - committing his ashes to Preserve. And the leaders got to work. Over the course of 50 cycles they stabilized Section 18, restoring in to 80% functionality. Salavaging Ranosians ship they gained insight into power and space flight. Alas he had wiped most star chart data - leaving just a few nearby stars left. Onators began exploring beyond the rings surface, harvesting asteroids and fragments of the neighbouring rings. 70 years after the death of Ranosian - we are ready, ready to seek who we are, discover new life and new civilisations and go where no Onator has gone before....
Just noticed the young lady in the cameo (around the 3 minute mark) is winking at me while Quill18 is explaining things. In all the episodes I've watched and played that's the first time I ever saw that.
If I was doing this origin I would probably pick Natural Engineers as a trait, under the logic of "well once all the repair systems broke down or whatever then the species would have to learn to maintain their segment of the ringworld long enough to become spacefaring." Just my own personal take on what I would set up for lore on this origin. :)
Head canon Habitat 18 had contact with 17 &19 and became diplomatic after being pen-pals for centuries. After the 17 &19 Habitats failed they became Xenophiles desperate to get that connection back.
Thanks you! I never really knew how this works. I used 5x primitives with x0.5 habitable worlds in my last game, and I wasn't sure if the habitabale world settings limits the number of primitives.
AT 7:50 you asked about the reduced housing civic. This was Byzantine administration, but that has been changed in 2.6 to +1 unity and stability for each Bureaucrat.
Nice ! I can't wait for the update to finally be out ! And you're hardly the only one to be more excited about the origins than the rest, I just hope they'll expand upon it later.
Your comment on picking Environmentalist "We've been living in this small, contained space for awhile...", Do you understand how BIG a Ringworld is supposed to be? 3 million Earths. Yea, not very contained or small, lol. Anyhow, great series to watch as usual, and glad you continued it after the expansion went live, very psyched!
The origins is going to be the biggest addition to the game. I'm so stoked for the asteroid of your dead planet start, so I can larp as eldar and dark Angel's
Very awesome role play and immersion! But the whole option of starting on a ringworld is a little strange, as a ringworld, even if you only use a quarter of it, has hundreds of thousands times the square surface of a 'regular' habitable planet. So even the huge resource boost you are already getting is nothing compared to what it realistically should be!
Adjusting the planet parameters in this way could tilt the game balance for or against some traits & origins Gaia, Machine World, and Ring World starts appear somewhat favored (though a ring world start can be on shaky ground for minerals), but I'd bet the real winner is the habitat start.
Ringworld... small? Larry Nivens "Ringworld" had a surface area of 3 million earths... So with a quarter of that: equal to ONLY 750 THOUSAND GAIA PLANETS! After 5 TRILLION people lived there, you might have some kind of earth-like density.
By the wiki the primitive rate does not change the habitable rate. At x1 there is a 3% chance a regular habitable world has primitives with scaling up to 15% at x5. Note that special systems are also independent of the slider. I believe leviathans are too but I think they are also Special and outside sliders. The specials have there own flat percentages. By your slider setting there will only one quarter of the expected habitable worlds with the expectation of 6% of them having primitives.
There's a book series (name withheld to avoid spoilers) where the previous Master Race made a device that accidentally rewrote the laws of reality so that their primary cybernetic implant material was no longer conductive. What species didn't die immediately could no longer even open doors. Might be good to work that in.
I feel like if humans were put on a ring world right now as we currently are there would be many wars over territory, many factions, but on the plus side I doubt nuclear weapons would’ve ever been conceived as use of them would probably damage the ringworld too much.or maybe that could be good lore for another species. They destroyed the ringworld with nuclear weapons and now only have a small section left but a singular faction took control of it. Hmmm might be my next game when this comes out
I suggested the origins, now I may not have been the first or only person to do it but it's still cool they actually did it, almost exactly the way I suggested it.
Would that be true of a single district? I agree that a ringworld section is huge, but it looks like he's stuck with only a single district until he can get some rare resources...
The way I heard it is his race was confined to a small section of that segment by segregation fields or whatev, and lucky for them the field broke down or something just in time for them to fix the life support that was about to break itself. Sadly it was too late for all the other species.
6:02 ... Yah know quill... Sometimes I absolutely adore your puns but thank you for not doing that XD That's just... So bad... great but too much XD plus I love the backstory you picked.
,,I considered recording the process of making it but realized it would take the whole video" - Quill 2020 before proceeding to use 20 minutes explaining how he designed his species.
There's nothing weird about it. Origins is the best feature in next expatuon. Imo, SHOULD be been focus of the expansion above the federation stuff. It's not as exiting as this.
If you do a lets play using the ring world origin have it be only 7 other species as if when there ring world sections where destroyed some of them managed to escape and inhabit new parts of the galaxey
I made a similiar agressive Shattered Ring World Militaristic Empire but then I screwed it up by being "Nice" and now I have 6 factions that popped up that all hate me. I blew it.
was hoping to see more info on the new deplo stuff and less back story but I do think It was immersive just was more interested in the expansion then the background but this is just a mild critic still a good vid
Imagine you get paid to play Paradox games, damn thats a dream.

Did notice something about the blockers and the districts on the ringworld.
1. the decrepit tunnels blockers give you rare resources and minerals (400 minerals and 100 gas on the one you moused over)
2. districts cost 100 rare resources (the research one cost 100 gas)
3. the district description reads that the Arcane Generator will update and will provide the upkeep for the new district.
So I think since you have 3 tunnels you can build one more district from each kind.
Yeah, but it doesn't seem like it provides the resource upkeep for said districts.
@@ArtaxerxesPavonis probably why it says the arcane generator will adapt for those resources
Quill’s videos always get me hyped to play games I haven’t thought about in months.
Quill is the reason I redownload so many of my old games and buy so many new ones...

It's funny that quill is RPing as if a ringworld is smaller than a planet, when in fact it is many orders of magnitude larger
I think in his mind he's playing a Halo ringworld, not a Stellaris ringworld :)
cool story bro
When you're referring to a ruler, a person, it's High Consul, not High Council. Or High Councillor.
Who's to say that the ruler of this alien culture is not considered to be the embodiment of a committee of all of the past rulers. Maybe there is a full High Council (plural) in their individual person.
Awesome rp and function. Also the fact that the generator adapts to your needs is awesome
Honestly loving where your going with this and your whole back story for your empire. Hope you do loads of episodes on this empire please.

i like how the ringworld origin still lets you have the same insane districts.
The history of the Onators is long and mostly forgotten.
Coming from a lost world of warring factions, a world said to of been bathed in the hell of nuclear armageddon.
The Oni - or Saviors - came and took us and some of our old world far across the heavens to the star of Preserve.
There - on a section of the giant wheel that circled the star we were born.
So many generations passed. Our old name, our old tongue and even our old beliefs withered like dead leaves from a tree.

You should change your food policy for an extra 10% growth rate since your food output is through the roof.
Primitive Civilization slider adds more planets with primitives on them, instead of placing the primitives on "existing" empty worlds

But the whole option of starting on a ringworld is a little strange, as a ringworld, even if you only use a quarter of it, has hundreds of thousands times the square surface of a 'regular' habitable planet. So even the huge resource boost you are already getting is nothing compared to what it realistically should be!
This is such a great story. We need a book from you now.
Quill18; you would make such a *Glorious* God Arch-Emperor that will uplift the wretched Hive's
Adjusting the planet parameters in this way could tilt the game balance for or against some traits & origins
Gaia, Machine World, and Ring World starts appear somewhat favored (though a ring world start can be on shaky ground for minerals), but I'd bet the real winner is the habitat start.
Finally a different menu screen.
Shattered ring start
*instantly renames it to installation 01*
The SOEEC @8:36
Ringworld... small? Larry Nivens "Ringworld" had a surface area of 3 million earths...
So with a quarter of that: equal to ONLY 750 THOUSAND GAIA PLANETS!
After 5 TRILLION people lived there, you might have some kind of earth-like density.

Note that special systems are also independent of the slider. I believe leviathans are too but I think they are also Special and outside sliders. The specials have there own flat percentages.
By your slider setting there will only one quarter of the expected habitable worlds with the expectation of 6% of them having primitives.
Looking forward to more
28:50 Just one more turn moment
I'm soo jealous quill! I want to play! Lol I'm pretty hyped for this expansion. There finally looking at the ai too!
I’m so excited for the new origins, the thing I am most hyped about is definitely the habitat origin.

Imagine building an Old Ones story from Warhammer 40k and not knowing that you did.

6:02 ... Yah know quill... Sometimes I absolutely adore your puns but thank you for not doing that XD That's just... So bad... great but too much XD plus I love the backstory you picked.
,,I considered recording the process of making it but realized it would take the whole video" - Quill 2020 before proceeding to use 20 minutes explaining how he designed his species.
i hope you continue this rub
love this guy!!!
I like how you chose the Earth point of origin symbol from Stargate. Maybe the only vestige of their heritage? A lost colony of Ancients?
Thanks for getting me hooked.
I like your world building for this. props to the OneAters
Quill you really do have such a beautiful mind.
There's nothing weird about it. Origins is the best feature in next expatuon. Imo, SHOULD be been focus of the expansion above the federation stuff. It's not as exiting as this.
If you do a lets play using the ring world origin have it be only 7 other species as if when there ring world sections where destroyed some of them managed to escape and inhabit new parts of the galaxey
It's difficult not to keep looking at the woman in the species creation screen whose left eye never blinks...
great backstory!
Any news on embargo timeline? I would love to see more :D
@Quill 18 : READ Ringworld Engineers by Larry Niven, Immediately! Names galore! And a storyline you could (post story, worst outcome) adopt!
I made a similiar agressive Shattered Ring World Militaristic Empire but then I screwed it up by being "Nice" and now I have 6 factions that popped up that all hate me. I blew it.
Funny enough. The starting background Quill came up with is quite simular to the one of Dominions 5.
Cant recall if Quill ever played that.
Looks fun, not sure how balanced it will be. Counting down the days to release.
I just read the two AI dev diaries yesterday. I was already very hyped, but the AI improvements takes it up to 11.
was hoping to see more info on the new deplo stuff and less back story but I do think It was immersive just was more interested in the expansion then the background but this is just a mild critic still a good vid
