I'm with you Lathrix, it's infuriating watching fleets dive bomb the station and dive straight into the gravity well splitting their fire away from the two fleets halfway between them and the station and losing any range advantage they might have had immediately. I wish they would actively try to stay at their max range from enemies and prioritize attacking fleets first, would make combat so much more dynamic.
On transport ships, artillery fleets best include 20-25% X H2 carriers for point defence and clearing out small evasive targets. Also, taking out the station turns off the base auras and can even turn the system neutral, so it can be a big advantage to do that especially with perdition beams and L slot weapons with poor tracking against close targets. AFAIK if the fleet is out of range of the base, it won't be engaged, so I try to lure fleets to the edge of the system and approach them from as far from the base as possible when it matters. Lath, has to keep his play throughs fast paced so he isn't micro managing the details. But there is a mod providing more tactical combat control, so it may be worth a shot, Republic of Play used it in his Roman Empire play through which lists the extensive mods he used
Personally, I would love to see the raw footage for these long episodes. Even if most of it is just micromanagement, it would be something I could watch while doing work.
@Lathland: You can guarantee the Rubricator spawns closer to your territory by moving the Science Vessel back to your space, after completing the Special Project, but before you hit the OK button on the event popup (just unpause and order it back to your home world). It's kind of "cheaty", but it is very much a feature! Technical Explanation: The system will be spawned in relation to the science vessels position, and that position will be noted only as you click OK.
This is much better than a playlist with 50 videos in it, thank you for condensing it all, makes it much more enjoyable to watch I hope you do more of them.
Thank you for putting up long videos like this, even though it hinders your channel! Your Stellaris videos are my favorite thing to watch on your channel, and they never fail at cheering me up when I’m going through a rough patch! 🙂🙂🙂
As for your interest on having a "Fallen Empire Ship Set" Lathrix, there is a mod for that in the Workshop which also comes with the City Style. It doesn't affect gameplay in any other way except for the ship appearances. I highly suggest it!
Im very engaged, how engaging this is. One of my favorite youtubers, love your stellaris videos. I dont know if I like the shorter ones or these more, but keep it up!
Lathorix: "We aren't doing anything evil by forcibly converting our pops into synths." Also Lathorix: *Proceeds to conquer and forcibly assimilate an ancient empire of spiritualists into synths, a process which in their view is the equivalent of society-wide suicide* It wouldn't be a game of Stellaris without some accidental war crimes would it?
@OriginalTharios Dont you think. Regarding those circumstances...Its not as free as you want it to make it out? Anyway. Anything that isnt your main species should be -purif...- *assimilated* into your Empires soil
@OriginalTharios I love how you completely ignore the fact that Spiritualists and Psionics actually make a VERY convincing argument since you know...The shroud is very much a real thing that can be significantly more easily by spiritually minded empires.
@OriginalTharios Well, I'd say that Spiritualists and Psionics aren't really cults they're more like widespread religions. In a Spiritualist empire, pops are allowed to follow any ethos whereas in an actual cult such thinking would likely get you immediately executed or removed from the cult (Like how a collective consciousness deals with rogue drones). That's not all that different from real life when you think about it. Most religious people are fine with people having their own beliefs unlike cults which REQUIRE you to think in a certain way if you want to be associated.
Always live the x25 crisis videos as I can use them as a reference for when I’m doing x1 crisis as I’ve yet to complete a single campaign as I always die
Addition: To be fair, I almost always go Fanatic Materialist and pick up TL along the way because it fits my empire's ethics to enhance learning. I 100% support Lathrix loving learning!
You absolute madlad. You deserve all the help/support for this. I deeply respect the effort you put into these and hope that you'll keep doing it. Thanks for the 3 hours of entertainment.
I AM COMMENTING TO BOOST ENGAGEMENT AND ALGORITHM Thanks for making the great Stellaris content, Lathland! Just found you yesterday, but already a big fan!
I love your full playtrough videos! Even if their not so popular, they're just so unique! I also love the fact that you go out of your way to imagine a backstory to each of your empires, it's not much, but I feel like every detail makes a difference!
@@dylan__dog If you go for a robot path or as lithoids, you can still colonize things too Baol's free gaia worlds + size 20 planet + free pops is also fantastic if given time to grow
Lathrix has been my favorite voice to hear on TH-cam since I was 11, first with from the depths, which I still am terrible at, all the way to Stellaris, which I play almost religiously. Never stop making such great videos
I love long videos as they give me something to watch while studying or just enjoying life without feeling stressed. Thank you for bringing joy and amusement to my life.
Nerfing the Cybrex warform was part of the changes aimed at nerfing machine empires and robots in general. And it was arguably too specific, since getting it as a spiritualist would suck pretty bad.
Just like getting zroni, baol or irassians is mostly useless to ME's/Synths. They should just rebalance all precursors, especially the ones specific to a single playstyle.
I watched this video in before, in between, and after my two AP exams today to relax. Thanks for putting the time and effort into these videos so that people like me can sit back and relax!
As much as I understand your comment, I think the lord doesn't have anything to do with it. More like dark gods, the devil or just Lathrix's insanity and hard work
@@ddoc8573 Well, Lord is a general term that dates back to feudal Europe or even further back referring to a master, role model, or among (either) *other* ways to say head figure. However the fact that you know Christians make that generalization is quite interesting in and of itself. More importantly, I do agree it is Lathrix's determination that gets these gargantuan projects done, where that determination is sourced? Well your guess is as good as mine buddy.
I clicked so fast on this video! I was just starting to felt bored when I saw it! Now 3 hours of my time is spoken for. Finally finished it! Great video! Keep up the fantastic content!

Personally I don't believe that me or anyone else I know could identify a problem with that statement and we'd be even worse at it if you gave us instructions.
@@syncshard Ive just realized that my joke is incredibly unclear- The idea was that identifying what is wrong with that statement could be said as "distinguishing" what is wrong with it, and so since the galaxy no longer faces the threat of mass distinction, it is now impossible for large groups of people to be capable of recognizing an identifying feature of something. This is way too complicated of a joke for too little payoff. I will do better next time

Me - Knows I have a Stellaris multiplayer starting in an hour. Also Me - Knows full well this is a 3 hour video The blood god demands me be here for our lord Lathrix.
Great video! Ancient Caretakers are the best and easiest Fallen Empire to attack first, because: 1) Attacking them early prevents them to get corrupted by the contingency (which has a 1.5x higher weight to occur with them on the map) 2) They own a Ringworld with 3 intact sections and a few good special buildings and often derelict megastructures like a matter decompressor or dyson's sphere in their border 3) They are by far the easiest FE to kill. Bonus If playing a true Gestalt Empire: It means getting a lot of free pops instantly Why are the Caretakers the easiest to kill? (Edit: Should've finished the whole video first, in the end you did wipe them out, but going for the Caretakers first would have been better as it can be done it with fewer fleet losses & in return ending up with larger, higher tech navies the Spiritualists and already restoring 2 free derelict megastructures) All you have to do is have enough armies to be able to take all 3 Ringworld sections simultaneously and enough fleet to take out the Starbase in their home system. Lure their fleets away, or wait for them to come invade you. Kill the Starbase, land your armies and get out of there. No need to even fight their fleets that will turn back home. With all 3 sections being invaded, they won't be able to build armies and Caretakers don't maintain a standing army, unlike normal FEs. If your invasion succeeds the FE will self-terminate and their fleets will be disbanded. You'll be getting the FE tech from the drop of the one Starbase that you have killed. With the new Ringworld, you've just saved a few decades and lots of alloy to build your own and can instead build up,m upgrade ships and take out any other FEs before they wake up.
@@guilhemraboud7808 Contingency only uses anti armour and hull energy weapons with balanced armour and shields, Hull is their lowest. So a penetrating weapons + shield build is best as counter. And use some PD for their stations strike craft. Good luck. ^^
I fucking love these videos. It's everything I've ever wanted in a stellaris campaign, an in depth view of what's going on while the cutting out of the more micromanagement segments of stellaris
I rarely comment, but I just wanted to come down here and say I really enjoy these full play through videos. Thank you for making them and I hope to see more in the future.
I loved every minute of this video you are an ABSOLUTE BEAST! this was my first time seeing the Contingency end game crisis at all so thank you very much for that tutorial too lmao! Keep up these videos I prefer this longer let's play types because I work full time and go to school. I love having the sound in the background and being able to peek up at it from time to time
"We are in danger!" he says, seeing the Contingency appear. Contingency: Never becomes much more than a few blips on the map. Something is SERIOUSLY wrong with the crisis. These 25x crisis early videos have shown that very well; not even a player as talented as Lathland should be beating the 25x crisis, certainly not so early, certainly not so soundly. 25x - and before it, 5x - was supposed to be the END OF THE GALAXY strength.
I love watching these! I know that I'm a wee bit late, but I think it's still very much enjoyable. I love your personality and sense of humor in particular!
I just want to recomment some diffrent game settings to try out. I've increased the number of regular empires by +50%, from 10 to 15 (from the default 9+1player to 14+1player, same galaxy size) and find the change quite more interesting and challenging. You get less space early on, get into conflict earlier, and later on there is more happening
I really REALLY like these Long Format videos! It sounds like you enjoy making them, so I hope that these don't become so detrimental that you have to discontinue making them.
well that was one hell of a powergrab in your federation.

Welp, imma be countered by the crisis as the strongest by far in my galaxy

Contingency only uses anti armour and hull energy weapons with balanced armour and shields, Hull is their lowest.
So a penetrating weapons + shield build is best as counter. And use some PD for their stations strike craft.
Good luck. ^^
I fucking love these videos. It's everything I've ever wanted in a stellaris campaign, an in depth view of what's going on while the cutting out of the more micromanagement segments of stellaris
Stellaris: a lathrixian tale of the "good guys"
I rarely comment, but I just wanted to come down here and say I really enjoy these full play through videos. Thank you for making them and I hope to see more in the future.
“Sterilizer, and I’m not gonna say that word because of how TH-cam can be weird with stuff like that.”
What? You can’t even say [REDACTED]?
Lathrix, Thank you dearly for this feature length Masterpiece
Oh boy, 60 hours. I'm gonna get all my friends to like it.
I find your gameplays of Stellaris rather relaxing. Good job and keep them coming!
I love this series and it's the greatest.
Idk why this was recommended so late, but hope that engagement will bring more viewers again.
Idk why im watching this, my writing session begins in 11 minutes
I loved every minute of this video you are an ABSOLUTE BEAST! this was my first time seeing the Contingency end game crisis at all so thank you very much for that tutorial too lmao! Keep up these videos I prefer this longer let's play types because I work full time and go to school. I love having the sound in the background and being able to peek up at it from time to time
"We are in danger!" he says, seeing the Contingency appear.
Contingency: Never becomes much more than a few blips on the map.
Something is SERIOUSLY wrong with the crisis. These 25x crisis early videos have shown that very well; not even a player as talented as Lathland should be beating the 25x crisis, certainly not so early, certainly not so soundly. 25x - and before it, 5x - was supposed to be the END OF THE GALAXY strength.
I love watching these! I know that I'm a wee bit late, but I think it's still very much enjoyable. I love your personality and sense of humor in particular!
I just want to recomment some diffrent game settings to try out. I've increased the number of regular empires by +50%, from 10 to 15 (from the default 9+1player to 14+1player, same galaxy size) and find the change quite more interesting and challenging. You get less space early on, get into conflict earlier, and later on there is more happening
thank you for recording the big videos i love them at 1.5 speed when im working
Comments are good for the TH-cam algorithm.
I really REALLY like these Long Format videos! It sounds like you enjoy making them, so I hope that these don't become so detrimental that you have to discontinue making them.
