Lettuce see how well we can do with the Holy Romaine Empire! I hope you don't think I tried too chard to make these puns -- I think they're radicciolous! Reminder that Stellaris is currently free to play and many of the DLC are currently 50% off: play.stellaris.com/FreeWeek
Quil setting the mid and endgame crisis to earlier doesn't actually mean they will start earlier it just means the game will begin rolling for the crisis earlier. I also recommend you play with 4 fallen empires so that you're guaranteed to get two opposing fallen empires so that the war in heaven can trigger. Also 3 mercenary empires so that the great kahn has a better chance of triggering aswell.

@@StorymasterQ yes, in Greek trophe is nourishment, so phototrophic would be "Nourished by light". Tropo comes from the Greek tropos, meaning turn/response/behaviour, so phototropic would "reacts/Turns to light".
@@StorymasterQ Yup! A similar meaning word is phototaxis, which means "moves to light", which would be referring to an organism moving itself rather than just turning.
My first empire in Stellaris was also plantoid called the Phlox-Photo Science Directive and the plants are the singular slender stalk ones where the neck retracts into the rest of the body because they're supposed to be fragile but adaptable scientists and I'll always be proud of them.
On the Shoulders of Giants gives you *a lot* of Archaeological sites in your starting system, but they're in a sequence. After you complete one, another pops up. There isn't any RNG there as far as I can tell, it's all just a fixed narative, but you get a lot of good stuff from digging all the sites.
For future stellaris playthrough you could consider using the StarNet AI mod if you want more of a challange. The AI is alot better with it(and that makes the game much more enjoyable in my opinion so i highly encourage everyone to use it if a harder challange is to your liking)
@@mrdoener121 its all to personal taste of course but I like the little bit more of a build up before all 8ut war and the ai seems to be a little better with research for sure. Seems to have a little bit better of a game overall for me anyway.
I recommend you play with 4 fallen empires so that you're garanteed to get atleast two opposing fallen empires so that the war in heaven can trigger. with just three then you could get something like xenophiles, spiritualist, and curators which means the war in heaven can't trigger. 3 mercenary empires so that the great kahn has a better chance of spawning. the great kahn is pretty weak as a crisis because his ship can be sniped off in battle which instantly ends the crisis. Grey tempest only has around 40% chance to spawn and requires opening the l gate which the ai is never going to do on it's own.
Since I realized how great it is, I'm always amazed that people don't take space octopus first. It's so obvious, but then, I didn't see it at first, either.
Catalytic Processing is so goddamn strong on Devouring Swarms especially if you go for a Lithoid one. You'll run out of storage space for alloys constantly even with spamming megastructures late game
Honestly, I think there's no real dysergy between tomb world preference and making your own gaian worlds. The two are pretty solidly compatible - any worlds of the right type for your species, you turn into gaian worlds. Aside from that, you've got tomb worlds...which for you, act very similar to gaian worlds, because of how your species works. Very good at making use of assorted world types. Even stronger if you're capable of bombarding hostile planets into tombworlds, to get more use out of non-ideal world types.
Correct. The word comes from the ancient Greek τροφικός meaning nourishment. Perhaps a more familiar related word is "atrophy", which is also pronounced with an f sound.
These two words are probably so specialized that while those in the fields that commonly use them pronounce it as "f" for everybody else they'd just (mentally) use a spelling pronunciation if seeing either word.
Lettuce see how this empire fares. It is time for us to plant the seeds of empire. But there is no need to go out on a limb for this run. With this empire heads will roll, its time for us to make like a tree and leaf. :V
I wonder when this update will hit console? I just got stellaris yesterday and it looks nothing like this. I dont have the dlc yet but the smaller outliner and the new traditions tree is really nice.
I want a Special Insectoid Race trait. Called Queens. When a Majority of your Pops are Created By Special Queen Jobs. :3 Also I want a Race Trait called Eusociality. Which means your race/Pops has a Cast system. So some Pops are better at some Jobs then others. And Worse at some Different Jobs.
I don’t like how the Holy Romaine Empire is an empire and is holy, if you were actually dedicated your empire it would neither be holy, an empire or Romaine
Except the HRE was an empire. An autocratic state consisting of several nations is the definition of an empire. Voltaire was just a butthurt french person who couldn't stand Germany. Even the holy is arguable, since it was the only state with a ruler appointed by the pope (or ruling with his blessing, in between).
@beageler An autocratic state composed by several nations=/= a de-centralized state composed by mostly one nation but many city states that act in their own behalf
@@ralfantino2291 So you're saying czech, polish, flemish, walloon, lithuanian, italian and austrian aren't nationalities? Even wikipedia agrees with me here, are you disallowing that, too? Just to defend some long dead, resentful nationalist's semi witty quote?
@beageler yeah there’s a reason I said MOSTLY one nation, doesn’t matter though the hre wasn’t centralized enough to be an “autocratic state” since the city states acted more like independent states than dukes and counts that serve a king
Please tell me its free tomorrow I've always wanted to play the game but found it too expensive for me, I cannot install it today I feel like I'm a pro stellar is player simply by watching others play for so long in fact ever since you could chose which type of travel you could use like warp and wormhole stations
FYI there is a PH sound in -trophic, not just a P sound. At least thats how I heard both english and american biology prof's use it, the straight P might be a regional thing of yours?

Thematically, I love the idea of a budding, unruly species. The thought of buds yelling down "you're not my dad!" and popping off the host is hilarious.
So it looks like my confusion is because "phototropic" and "radiotropic" (no "H") **ARE** words. Just a different words.
the -troph in radiotrophic refers to food, so the trait is highlighting how they can derive food from radioactivity.
@@Luckdragon So, -trop means "reacts to" and -troph means "gains nutrition from"?
@@StorymasterQ yes, in Greek trophe is nourishment, so phototrophic would be "Nourished by light". Tropo comes from the Greek tropos, meaning turn/response/behaviour, so phototropic would "reacts/Turns to light".
@@jared743 Oh, phototropic is like a sunflower, then? I knew I've heard of it before. Turns to light, indeed.
@@StorymasterQ Yup! A similar meaning word is phototaxis, which means "moves to light", which would be referring to an organism moving itself rather than just turning.
Saladin is an excellent leader name, but I would have also accepted CHARDlemagne!
I would accept Marcus Arugula or Genghis Kale as well.
I legit lost it at "Caesar Saladdin" :D
8:20 Quill it could be that your ships are made out of plants instead of metal. If you get some hull regen it would make it thematically work.
Yeah, they could be organic ships. Like Thargoids in Elite: Dangerous, or Tyranids in Warhammer 40k.

You couldn't have chosen a better name! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I need it to be known that the only reason I happened to click on your video was because i saw the thumbnail and the absolutely amazing punwork.
Thank you for making me laugh after a rough couple of days
Since I realized how great it is, I'm always amazed that people don't take space octopus first. It's so obvious, but then, I didn't see it at first, either.
the holy romaine empire would be a great name for a salad resturant. lol
I wake up already confused and this pops up and sets off a fight or flight response in me
I wish they made the Feudal Civic actually decent and subject states a viable strategy.
Everyone romaine calm and watch for chickens. You wouldn't want a chicken to seize your salad!
Excellent start Chef! Can't wait to taste the rest of this lovely repast! Cheers! Ivan :D
...after playing Stellaris muted for about 250 hours I was legit confused by the sounds in this video.
You got me hooked with that pun. Just plucked from the ground.
Quill, you ARE brilliant, you ARE funny!
Second planet should have been called "side bar." 🤣🤣 maybe the next planet.

It must be unbeliavably awesome to get paid by Paradox to play a game that you love. Cheers!
This is going to be a great campaign just because of the pun in the empire name. I’m excited Quill! Lol
Shoutout to Quill for reminding us to eat our leafy greens!!
yes Cobb salad is a thing. The Restraint i work at has romaine and green leave lettuces in it cheers
1:53 No, I think “trophic” with an “F” sound is legit.

@@jonnunn4196 ph is generally "f" like phat
19:45 Eh? Literally nothing has changed here except the UI. You could already select your traditions before Lem.
Caesar Saladin is the greatest starting ruler name of all time.
The puns here are world-class.
Damn. Name game on point.
Let's take an origin that gives us stuff to investigate. Let's not do that. Why am I not surprised?
Phototrophic is good with the civic that lets you turn food into alloy.
Lettuce see how this empire fares. It is time for us to plant the seeds of empire. But there is no need to go out on a limb for this run. With this empire heads will roll, its time for us to make like a tree and leaf.

no seriously .... Caesar Saladin... and then it hit me .. Romaine Holy Romaine Empire ... I think you have issues that need a-dressing

i dont know why this is in my feed but subbed
High level leaders really depends on the longevity of your leaders. Otherwise they just die before getting to those levels.
Quill thought, here's a new Stellaris update, lettuce play it.
Now I can't wait for the Aquatic Species pack
I hope we eventually got a add on for Starting on and/or colonizing Lava Worlds.
Those puns are the Chefs kiss. I give it 4 Tomatoes.
LEM looks great! Previous versions kale in comparison.
Have you ever considered playing X4: Foundations? I would love to see that content on your channel.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA "Romaine Empire" holy shit.
Oh, looking forward to this. Want to see what the new patch brings.
Hopefully it is a good crop of updates.
This Advisor voice sounds a lot like one of the voices for Disco Elysium...
The puns are killing me. Literally.
Woohoo, more Stellaris!
I wonder when this update will hit console? I just got stellaris yesterday and it looks nothing like this. I dont have the dlc yet but the smaller outliner and the new traditions tree is really nice.
Why did you not start in the sol system?
Remember the vault in new vegas, they where also in the tribal dlc to.
As a non-native speaker I had no idea what "romaine" meant. So I looked it up...
...this is effing brilliant.
I loooove the theming 🤣🤣🤣
wait how about tomp world origin + radiotrophic. is something you would like to do or not because that would be kinda intresting
