It's often said that if your playing as Humans in Stellaris you start out trying to be like the United Federation of Planets from Star Trek and by the end of your game end up like The Imperium of Man from 40k.
Well when you try to make the Galaxy play nice, but then then an empire defeats you in a war and cracks Earth, you tend to seek revenge on the Galaxy at Large for its treacherous acts
I started as the Imperium, and I ended as the Imperium. When the Unbidden invaded and I owned a third of a very large galaxy, did I worry? No. I continued my campaigns of genocide against my neighbors. When the Unbidden reached my borders and it turned out that my ships were very poorly optimized to fight them, did I pull the fleets back to retrofit them? Roll out new designs? Do literally anything at all to reduce losses? No. I proceeded to drown them in ships and the vastness of my empire allowed me to be able to tank those losses and keep going until I won.
First control the Senate, then the galaxy. They cant sanction you if they are dead, and its not a warcrime if you leave no witnessess. - Emperor Palpatine (at least in my head)
I realized that my vassals who were in the galactic community did get sanctioned because they had a collosus. therefore I chise to end the galactic community myself
Kind of funny that people complain about how violent Cod and other games are. Then there is stellaris, a game not so many people know about, where you do a galactic genocide because someone killed your pet
I named one of my leaders for her and she suddenly got invested and wanted to know what her character was doing and why and eventually she was demanding I enslave some cuter xenos as pets in her sector
It sounds cool in theory, but from a writing perspective, it is hard as *hell* to make something like that work. The problem is that the scale of interstellar civilizations is so huge, the people making all the important decisions will be far removed from any danger or the consequences of their actions, for good or ill.
@@dark7element you can always focus on a few characters of the Human race, for example, for a start. and then add on various civlizations in subsequent seasons or series
@@captainbroady seriously, it'd be rad if they did a Dev Clash and then made a show based on it following the UNE Of course they'd have to hold off on releasing the Dev Clash itself
@@KitKatHexe I had an interesting acronym idea for the UNE, making it the UNEG(United Nations of Earth Government) and from that they become known as ‘The Unity’ (Comes from UNEG said without annunciation) which could sound and be both sinister or hopeful.

Every time you start up Stellaris and create a new galaxy, whether that galaxy be populated by randomly generated Empire, or Empires you made, it is a new story. One where you let your imagination fill in the blanks.
@@chengzhou8711 until some one become a crisis or crisis took over the galaxy man... So ... Basicly you have to fight with xenos , necron , tyranid or chaos . And if you can active war in heaven chain it will more wholesome
I wish that we could actually see our people, our cities, our planets in Stellaris. Instead of just playing on a map, I wish we could actually see the life in our empire and see what impacts our decisions are having.
So, you have no imagination, you condemn enjoyment of fiction, and I should personally kill you with my bare hands? Does that about cover it, Lord Mortos?
thats why Stellaris is so much fun i still remember the first time i found a lost colony Humanity. They was vassalized by an advance star empire. my entire game's play style and perspective changed, from my typical tech-up bulk up conquer and weather the 10X crisis, to subterfuge and playing diplomacy ranging from making the overlord to release the Human Lost colony to inciting uprising and independence wars. I felt so betrayed when the Overlord declared war on me and the Lost Colony was siding with their overlord. and i felt even sadder when the Contingency came, half of the Lost Colony was consumed and i couldn't save more of the wayward bloodkin.

“From the dense core of the galaxy to the most remote star systems, until our terms are met, YOU WILL KNOW HUMANITIES WRATH.

Message to the Panspecial Trade Union a declaring war after diplomatic relations broke down over an economic sanction.

Interesting enough you can have a leader survive the entire game if you take the much maligned longevity trait and research advances fast enough to buy them more time and eventually immortality.
"I no longer agree to your terms , YOU will agree to mine". I don't know why but that message resonates way more deeply with me than it probably should. Edit: "Mom, I'm almost famous now." Seriously though, thanks everyone. Was not expecting to get even close to this many likes.
same. my guess is that it plays on the 'rise up against evil oppressor" narrative that's so easily woven into stories and propaganda throughout history. It's definitely effective for a reason...
I can imagine 2 grand empires who got wronged by their federations, allying to dominate and purge the galaxy, and the galactic community electing the humans as custodians and uniting against the common survival, and to think this is totally possible in game, damn I love Stellaris
@@roulo5516basically war in heaven but The Old One already create Human as contingency protocol against many sh!t in galaxy, making an emperor class human as the leader and blank psycher to be their executioner
Be a small civilization. Find ton of exotic gas. Galactic council formed. Bribe everybody with exotic gas. Become custodian. Bribe everybody with more gas. Declare galactic empire. Become emperor. Bribe everybody with even more exotic gas. Disband council. Then you pass a law that forbids all wars. And it works. You're a race of space squirrels ruling galactic empire. Approval ratings sky high. On anniversary of your coronation day, you address the empire and ask: "Hey. We always wanted to know. What did you even need all that gas for?".
If this was a show we could be following a small group of people just trying to survive in this galaxy. Galaxy could be in a medium to late game state where a lot of unions, alliances and politics are in place. Everyone is strong enough to refrain from starting a war. Our group of people could be refugees, mercs, Profiteers, you name it. As long as they are *not* bound to a nation and have different backgrounds it can work. The problem isnt the scale. Its the destination. Expanse works because the main cast are detrimantal on the story. Their actions shape the universe they're in directly. In this setting our cast would be perfect to show new worlds, thrown into new conflicts (whether politic or more aggresively), discover new anomalies. BUT, They absolutely would have no control over the destination the story is heading towards. Which would likely receive a bad reviews due to the fact that ''there is no point''. While the problem of scale can easly be avoided, Problem of destination cant be. We can try to focus on the smaller goals and destinations for our cast, but that in return would create an ''Overlord'' syndrome. Where side characters and the world is so rich, Following the main cast feels boring or a waste of time. Unfortunately this is why Stellaris cant be written as a show. I'd like to converse the counterpoints you fellas might have though!
The resolution of a personal journey can be contrasted with large scale disaster and death and ultimate failure. Character X finally reconciling with character Y, character Z avenging character W, etc. can all happen and be satisfying regardless of whether the world they're on gets flooded by an aquatic juggernaut, or bombarded by a spiritualist fallen empire for some unseen heresey thousands of light-years away, or turned to a machine world by the contingency, etc. It is rarely the setting that actually makes or breaks these shows, it's the character writing, and that's the main reason why.
@@scrambo6182 True, but compared to the setting we are going to be in (A galaxy full of completely different species, ideologies, goals and ancient pasts) our main cast may feel too insignificant to the viewer. In Stellaris universe, majority of the important decisions are made by scientists and rulers. If we are following a rag tag group doing their own things, we sacrifice that deep perspective for broader representation in the Stellaris universe. We can always follow a Scientist doing some research about shroud, or a classic General/Admiral having to make tough choices. However we would sacrifice one of the strongests aspects of Stellaris and risk turning it into a another space Sci-fi show. Following a ruler might come off as too boring as its going to be politics 70% of the time and Stellaris has more to offer than just politics, ESPECIALLY if we are watching it. IF we are going to use a small group as initially suggested, we would need a destination. Mass Effect worked because Shepard had a goal from the start that did not change; Kill the Reapers. He had many side adventures during this but in the end they did not alter his goal. Reverse Flash from The Flash *In season one* worked because he had one goal: Going home. After failing that, his goal kept changing and changing which annoyed some fans and frankly got overused for every plot thread show needed. We would require a simple but hard goal for such a group to accomplish, regardless of the world they're in *without* compremising the settings or enviorament of the show. This goal also has to be something either respectible by the audiance, or outright defiant. It cant be ''getting rich'' because majority of the dangerous tasks they perform will be seen as caused by their greed. It also cant be ''saving the galaxy'' because our group *has* to stay small and stay true to Stellaris. We cant have a space Avengers going around stopping Unbidden. Of course characters can have their side desires, but the overall group as a unit has to have a common goal that is simple, hard to reach *but* isnt impossible without plot devices. Any suggestions?
@@Kronosfobi Rogue One is a great example - an important operation that turns the tide in a war that isn't shown beginning or ending in the movie itself, but nonetheless the characters' journeys feel resolved.
I think you might be overthinking it a bit, you could make the show in the same story style as Game of thrones with the many characters in a wide array of places with there own goals and ambitions interweaving their stories while having a Mass Effect like over riding plot, the galaxy is a cycle of growth and destruction and the characters can go from researching the precursors to realizing an endgame Armageddon in coming to forming a coherent force to confront the endgame crisis. Having the perspective of multiple people in various roles inside a few important empires would give a great perspective to view the unfolding of the story. Honestly this video was just fantastic and it worked so well because it left alot unexplained and aloud or minds to best fill in the gaps with our own head canon that we like the most, I believe Hayao Miyazaki uses the same style for his success. The creator that directed this video is a true artist and my hat goes off to them, they have brought me a new found respect for directing.
@@miyelir What you said *can* be done, but like I mentioned its extremely hard to pull off. Especially if you have more main characters to follow. Mass Effect worked because it had a simple objective, a singular story line with sidequests occasionally coming along. And its a game. In movie or show format even Mass Effect would suffer. Plus, Mass Effect not only follows a single character instead of multiple like you suggested, but also has the huge advantage of ''choice'' as a game. Movie or Show wouldnt have that advantage. This video *is* fantastic, but wouldnt work in a format of a show or movie. Which is why Im asking for possible scenerios you fellas think might work. Likely there may be things Im completely missing out.

I have a memory of a old stellaris playthrough where I was planning to colonize a planet that had some valuable resources but there was some kind of anomaly about it. I put an outpost nearby it I kept getting reports of seismic activity from the planet that kept getting worse and worse. This planet eventually cracked and a space dragon came out so yeah I was genuinely surprised.
Some random race takes a planet I wanted. My fleet appearing over their homeworld: "We have arrived, and it is now that we perform our charge. In fealty to the God-Emperor, our undying Lord, and by the grace of the Golden Throne, I declare Exterminatus upon the world of Typhon Primaris. I hereby sign the death warrant of an world and consign a million souls to oblivion. May Imperial Justice account in all balance. The Emperor Protects."
The templin institute is a really good channel with their stellaris invictus series, creating a narrative to go along with the streams they do. Really brings you into the world.
Reguarding a show about Stellaris, I don't know how soon that will come, but I can tell you that a few of my friends and I plan to write one or more books and a general series of events based on what may have been one of, if not THE best Stellaris game ever, with its fair share of political turmoil, economic strife and success, scientific endeavor, and awe inspiring battles. The best example would probably be the Campaign against the Corronian Dominance, an empire of magic wielding skeletoids (led by skeletor of all people) residing on a single planet that they managed to turn into the greatest threat to the entire galaxy using said magic, who were eventually defeated by what may be the largest fleet of ships ever amassed in Stellaris, with ships from almost every empire coming to take part. And not just military and private defense groups, but even traders and mining vessels from even the most backwater parts of the galaxy with each ship only having maybe a few weapons for defense purposes. People of all species and empires came together and set aside their differences to defeat a terrifying foe that was greater than any Empire's entire navy individually. It was possibly The Most Honorable Battle in all of Sci Fi.
@@battadia Not written much yet, but we've been compiling lore and the general consensus for the first book we'd write is an in-universe autobiography of a spacefighter pilot similar to Saburō Sakai's "Samurai!", with said samurai having took part in the aforementioned 'Most Honorable Battle'. I also would maybe like to do a comic series centered around the pilot, one that would show more detail of the events and stuff from the perspective of his squadmates and the crew of the carrier ship his squad is assigned to. I don't know if anything will come to fruition, my friends and I often either don't have the time or drive to write much, but I hope that something can be made of it eventually.
I solemnly swear to devote my life and ability in the defense of the United Nations of Earth, to defend the constitution of man, and to further the universal rights of all sentient life, from the depths of the Pacific, to the edge of the galaxy, for as long as I shall live. bro that oath goes so hard
I imagine a show where each season focuses on a different empire progressing through the stages of the game. A fledgling barely space-travelling race season one exploring the galaxy, making contact, and discovering anomalies, focusing on the scientists and leaders of that civilization. season two the rise of a focused character to power and subsequent rise of a superpower in the galaxy. Season 3 the bitter struggle of an empire in decline, beset on all sides by enemies and eventually destroyed, etc. All one continuous story of the galaxy up to the crisis and the banding together of many of the empires seen before, possibly all against one that we've seen the perspective of, with descendants of the characters we first saw (or the first characters themselves in cases of immortal or long-lived species.) Unfortunately that is never gonna happen because it would be way too much of an undertaking and there's probably not anyone skilled enough to write it well in the first place. There's definitely someone who could make a sweet book series out of it though.
this is simply fantastic, it encapsulates perfectly the feeling of dread, pride, hatred and honor of the civilizations, also the order of the shots makes so much sense, thank you for this, had real goosebumps watching it
Thinking about playing stellaris: This video Actually playing stellaris: "Oh. They just closed their borders to us. Aren't you on the other side of the galaxy?" "Is that the pretho- nope that's just a locust swarm" "Wait, I have to vote in the galactic community?" "Oh, they just opened their borders to us again."

The flow of this edit. The sound effects and blending. My ears... my eyes... unbelievable. Great job dude, this legit looks and sounds like a high level movie trailer
As strife breeds unity, neglect breed resentment. Be the source of both, and be afraid. For there is no greater drive to innovation than a common enemy. Look down on a civilization for long enough, and you'll find them staring back with hatred. Look down on them still, and watch them drag you down.
Tbh this is basically my stellaris game rn at this point everyone has 50k+ fleet power and everyone hates each other and powerblocks have essentially solidified. The eastern part of the galaxy is mostly neglected none of the nations there are strong they all are weak and they are constantly at war with each other but even now they are all being unified to my powerblock cause i need literally every nation possible to counter my enemies. My nation is basically the haven for dead species as well because whenever a species falls they retreat to me due to me having the most open boarders in the galaxy and the most open boarders(and probably the most promising jobs) compared to the rest of the galaxy. My situation is relatively tense even though my defenses are basically impenetrable i cant push my enemies back cause my enemies just seem to have endless alloys somehow. Eitherway stellaris is always tense and exciting.
This just makes me pissed that shit like this isn't actually in the game. Like I need my planets and pops to actually have dramatic voice, I need my wars to have voice actors talking about my atrocities. Like 30 DLCs and none of this type is just disgraceful

I mean, it would be interesting to see a show where the aliens push and take advantage of the humans to such an extent that their naivety is shattered and they respond with total war, like what is shown in this video.
Allow me to tell you a story: When my planet was still primitive a mega corporation came, seeking the resources that my planet had in abundance. My people fought the invaders and we were swiftly subdued and subjugated. My people were made into slaves and by the time I was born we all had a collar around our neck. As a boy I was forced to kill hundreds of my own people using a weapon that the mega corporation trained me to wield. And for a decade I obeyed, slaughtering hundreds of my brethren for attempting to gain their freedom. One day I was given a new weapon to wield and a choice. Would I crack the world my kind was born on? Or would I die with them. I chose a third option, I turned the world breaker back at the ships of the Mega Corporation and fired. Thousands of souls burned that day. And so to protect my home I flew the world breaker to the headquarters of the mega corporation. A small planet, with millions of unaware souls and I shattered it. 28 million souls burned that day, a number I had permanently burned into my skin so that I remember what the cost of my empire was. And it's a cost I'm willing to pay over and over again to keep the Ostian Star Empire safe while I still draw breath. The Sun Eater is one such weapon I will use to pay that price a thousand times over. For peace on Ostia, for death onto her enemies.
This reminded me of one playthrough I had where I made a federation and called it the galactic republic (There were only 5 empires in the entire game and 2 of them were fanatic purifiers so we didnt have th galactic community.) When I united the 3 empires that didnt want to kill everything we had about 20 years of peace. Then the fallen empires got a bit angry at us and for the next 80-100 years it was just billions upon billions of Fallen empire and galactic republic citizens dying to collosi, bombardment, invasions, etc. I tried to play nice as well and had rules of war and evrything until the FE cracked a core world and then it turned into who had more worlds because sooner or later one of us was going to run out of citizens. I wrote down every battle, major event, and war during this 80-100 years in-game and I learned only that stellaris simulated the domino effect very well.
This video was amazingly well done, and elicits memories of some of my most favorite playthroughs. I often like to think of my campaigns in a written narrative as events have happened or after they've passed, and this video accomplishes that feeling so easily. I remember playing as a human imperium that was *genuinely* trying to better the galaxy and not be a xenophobe. I wasn't even mass-conquering, I was trying to unite via federations and diplomacy, but everyone and their mother hated me for one treaty or another I had with another individual, or my ideologies. At the end of the day, the only loyal nation to me was one that I raised from Pre-FTL to the galactic stage. My race become psionic, and eventually they became psionic from being in close proximity to my race(They were Vassals). They had fought alongside me against these snail aliens with huge squidward noses that were just NOT giving me a chance to prepare the galaxy for the coming crisis. After long wars from them, and then an Avian race of xenophobes, my personality with my empire gradually became one of an optimist to a bitter pragmatist. Even still, in these dark times, my vassal stood by me loyally, staunchly, even when my fleet power became low, when vassals at the time would quickly deteriorate in loyalty if your military hit rock bottom from a lost war. We had been through nearly 250 years together, creating a solid base of imperial space near the core of the galaxy. And then the Prethoryn Scourge invaded, and along with my enemies, 75% of my empire, including 4 core worlds with max population, they ate my vassals. All of them. They went extinct. This campaign was started a few days after the apocalypse dlc was purchased by me, and I made extensive, enraged use of super weapons and mega structures in a tiny corner system -My last vanguard against the scourge that was otherwise gonna make me lose the game-, and I scoured them from the face of my galaxy with atomic fire and durasteel. I enslaved one of their queens and used them to fight against their own kin, and during all this, the rest of the galaxy sat quietly, content just to watch as I was being devoured by the Scourge, not offering to help join the fight. I was the sole target being attacked at the time, the entire focus of the scourge, so the rest of the galaxy was largely untouched save for my enemies who were eaten at the beginning, and my vassal. Despite losing most of my territory, I ended up winning the crisis BY MYSELF, and incinerating the infestation to the last. On top of it all, my Total War policies adopted just to make sure my civilization survives this holocaust ended up making me go from Xenophilic, materialist, and militarist to Fanatic Militarist, and Authoritarian, along with changing civics to Esteemed Admiralty, and the Supremacy policy. I came out stronger than I was before the crisis, and proceeded to turn to the rest of the galaxy that left me and my beloved vassal for dead, and I made sure that each and every one of those passive, bystander bastards paid tribute to MY galactic empire within the next few decades.
@@carteradams43 thanks for taking the time to read it! It was one of my all time favorite playthroughs, simply because of how dramatic it felt. I have not had such a loyal vassal since that playthrough. All others were treacherous punks that had to be kept in line.

This is the best stellaris trailer ive seen. This should be the original. Its so good
FR
The game dosent really have this kind of gravity or intensity. The only story in stellaris is the one in your head.
i guess that's the magic of it.
That’s the point
So, you have no imagination, you condemn enjoyment of fiction, and I should personally kill you with my bare hands? Does that about cover it, Lord Mortos?
So what you're saying is that your imagination isn't up to the task.
thats why Stellaris is so much fun
i still remember the first time i found a lost colony Humanity. They was vassalized by an advance star empire. my entire game's play style and perspective changed, from my typical tech-up bulk up conquer and weather the 10X crisis, to subterfuge and playing diplomacy ranging from making the overlord to release the Human Lost colony to inciting uprising and independence wars. I felt so betrayed when the Overlord declared war on me and the Lost Colony was siding with their overlord. and i felt even sadder when the Contingency came, half of the Lost Colony was consumed and i couldn't save more of the wayward bloodkin.
This really makes me wish for some sort of Arcane-like Stellaris series
And this also makes me feel something for my citizens a little bit.
Citizens:i only want to live in peace D:

Stellaris takes place over hundreds of years. It is difficult to have main characters when you have a time scale like that.
Interesting enough you can have a leader survive the entire game if you take the much maligned longevity trait and research advances fast enough to buy them more time and eventually immortality.
Make the protagonist a lithoid or a machine drone lol

@@swivelshivel6576 playing stellaris in the first place isnt worrh it
@@GlizzyGoblin757 it's worth it, you just lack imagination
I feel like I already have made games made based off this story. :D
If this was a show we could be following a small group of people just trying to survive in this galaxy.
Galaxy could be in a medium to late game state where a lot of unions, alliances and politics are in place. Everyone is strong enough to refrain from starting a war.
Our group of people could be refugees, mercs, Profiteers, you name it. As long as they are *not* bound to a nation and have different backgrounds it can work.
The problem isnt the scale. Its the destination.
Expanse works because the main cast are detrimantal on the story. Their actions shape the universe they're in directly.
In this setting our cast would be perfect to show new worlds, thrown into new conflicts (whether politic or more aggresively), discover new anomalies.
BUT, They absolutely would have no control over the destination the story is heading towards.
Which would likely receive a bad reviews due to the fact that ''there is no point''.
While the problem of scale can easly be avoided, Problem of destination cant be.
We can try to focus on the smaller goals and destinations for our cast, but that in return would create an ''Overlord'' syndrome. Where side characters and the world is so rich, Following the main cast feels boring or a waste of time.
Unfortunately this is why Stellaris cant be written as a show.
I'd like to converse the counterpoints you fellas might have though!
The resolution of a personal journey can be contrasted with large scale disaster and death and ultimate failure. Character X finally reconciling with character Y, character Z avenging character W, etc. can all happen and be satisfying regardless of whether the world they're on gets flooded by an aquatic juggernaut, or bombarded by a spiritualist fallen empire for some unseen heresey thousands of light-years away, or turned to a machine world by the contingency, etc.
It is rarely the setting that actually makes or breaks these shows, it's the character writing, and that's the main reason why.
@@scrambo6182 True, but compared to the setting we are going to be in (A galaxy full of completely different species, ideologies, goals and ancient pasts) our main cast may feel too insignificant to the viewer.
In Stellaris universe, majority of the important decisions are made by scientists and rulers.
If we are following a rag tag group doing their own things, we sacrifice that deep perspective for broader representation in the Stellaris universe.
We can always follow a Scientist doing some research about shroud, or a classic General/Admiral having to make tough choices. However we would sacrifice one of the strongests aspects of Stellaris and risk turning it into a another space Sci-fi show.
Following a ruler might come off as too boring as its going to be politics 70% of the time and Stellaris has more to offer than just politics, ESPECIALLY if we are watching it.
IF we are going to use a small group as initially suggested, we would need a destination.
Mass Effect worked because Shepard had a goal from the start that did not change; Kill the Reapers.
He had many side adventures during this but in the end they did not alter his goal.
Reverse Flash from The Flash *In season one* worked because he had one goal: Going home.
After failing that, his goal kept changing and changing which annoyed some fans and frankly got overused for every plot thread show needed.
We would require a simple but hard goal for such a group to accomplish, regardless of the world they're in *without* compremising the settings or enviorament of the show.
This goal also has to be something either respectible by the audiance, or outright defiant. It cant be ''getting rich'' because majority of the dangerous tasks they perform will be seen as caused by their greed.
It also cant be ''saving the galaxy'' because our group *has* to stay small and stay true to Stellaris. We cant have a space Avengers going around stopping Unbidden.
Of course characters can have their side desires, but the overall group as a unit has to have a common goal that is simple, hard to reach *but* isnt impossible without plot devices.
Any suggestions?
@@Kronosfobi Rogue One is a great example - an important operation that turns the tide in a war that isn't shown beginning or ending in the movie itself, but nonetheless the characters' journeys feel resolved.
I think you might be overthinking it a bit, you could make the show in the same story style as Game of thrones with the many characters in a wide array of places with there own goals and ambitions interweaving their stories while having a Mass Effect like over riding plot, the galaxy is a cycle of growth and destruction and the characters can go from researching the precursors to realizing an endgame Armageddon in coming to forming a coherent force to confront the endgame crisis.
Having the perspective of multiple people in various roles inside a few important empires would give a great perspective to view the unfolding of the story.
Honestly this video was just fantastic and it worked so well because it left alot unexplained and aloud or minds to best fill in the gaps with our own head canon that we like the most, I believe Hayao Miyazaki uses the same style for his success. The creator that directed this video is a true artist and my hat goes off to them, they have brought me a new found respect for directing.
@@miyelir What you said *can* be done, but like I mentioned its extremely hard to pull off.
Especially if you have more main characters to follow.
Mass Effect worked because it had a simple objective, a singular story line with sidequests occasionally coming along. And its a game. In movie or show format even Mass Effect would suffer.
Plus, Mass Effect not only follows a single character instead of multiple like you suggested, but also has the huge advantage of ''choice'' as a game.
Movie or Show wouldnt have that advantage.
This video *is* fantastic, but wouldnt work in a format of a show or movie.
Which is why Im asking for possible scenerios you fellas think might work. Likely there may be things Im completely missing out.

I have a memory of a old stellaris playthrough where I was planning to colonize a planet that had some valuable resources but there was some kind of anomaly about it. I put an outpost nearby it I kept getting reports of seismic activity from the planet that kept getting worse and worse. This planet eventually cracked and a space dragon came out so yeah I was genuinely surprised.
Came back to watch this after work/ why must you make me wish a stellaris shorts type thing was available
This should just be the general Stellaris Trailer on all the stores. It captures the emotion of an intense playthrough

"We have arrived, and it is now that we perform our charge.

I hereby sign the death warrant of an world and consign a million souls to oblivion. May Imperial Justice account in all balance. The Emperor Protects."
I swear, this needs to be the official trailer of stellaris it does a much better job at making me want to play the game then the current one.

i like your profile picture
Reguarding a show about Stellaris, I don't know how soon that will come, but I can tell you that a few of my friends and I plan to write one or more books and a general series of events based on what may have been one of, if not THE best Stellaris game ever, with its fair share of political turmoil, economic strife and success, scientific endeavor, and awe inspiring battles.
The best example would probably be the Campaign against the Corronian Dominance, an empire of magic wielding skeletoids (led by skeletor of all people) residing on a single planet that they managed to turn into the greatest threat to the entire galaxy using said magic, who were eventually defeated by what may be the largest fleet of ships ever amassed in Stellaris, with ships from almost every empire coming to take part. And not just military and private defense groups, but even traders and mining vessels from even the most backwater parts of the galaxy with each ship only having maybe a few weapons for defense purposes. People of all species and empires came together and set aside their differences to defeat a terrifying foe that was greater than any Empire's entire navy individually. It was possibly The Most Honorable Battle in all of Sci Fi.
BEGINNING TODAY, WE STAND AS ONE!
That’s dope dude. Do it, I’ll buy a copy.

@@battadia Not written much yet, but we've been compiling lore and the general consensus for the first book we'd write is an in-universe autobiography of a spacefighter pilot similar to Saburō Sakai's "Samurai!", with said samurai having took part in the aforementioned 'Most Honorable Battle'.
I also would maybe like to do a comic series centered around the pilot, one that would show more detail of the events and stuff from the perspective of his squadmates and the crew of the carrier ship his squad is assigned to.
I don't know if anything will come to fruition, my friends and I often either don't have the time or drive to write much, but I hope that something can be made of it eventually.

I imagine a show where each season focuses on a different empire progressing through the stages of the game. A fledgling barely space-travelling race season one exploring the galaxy, making contact, and discovering anomalies, focusing on the scientists and leaders of that civilization. season two the rise of a focused character to power and subsequent rise of a superpower in the galaxy. Season 3 the bitter struggle of an empire in decline, beset on all sides by enemies and eventually destroyed, etc. All one continuous story of the galaxy up to the crisis and the banding together of many of the empires seen before, possibly all against one that we've seen the perspective of, with descendants of the characters we first saw (or the first characters themselves in cases of immortal or long-lived species.)
Unfortunately that is never gonna happen because it would be way too much of an undertaking and there's probably not anyone skilled enough to write it well in the first place. There's definitely someone who could make a sweet book series out of it though.
this is simply fantastic, it encapsulates perfectly the feeling of dread, pride, hatred and honor of the civilizations, also the order of the shots makes so much sense, thank you for this, had real goosebumps watching it

The eastern part of the galaxy is mostly neglected none of the nations there are strong they all are weak and they are constantly at war with each other but even now they are all being unified to my powerblock cause i need literally every nation possible to counter my enemies. My nation is basically the haven for dead species as well because whenever a species falls they retreat to me due to me having the most open boarders in the galaxy and the most open boarders(and probably the most promising jobs) compared to the rest of the galaxy. My situation is relatively tense even though my defenses are basically impenetrable i cant push my enemies back cause my enemies just seem to have endless alloys somehow.

This video is like stellaris lore vs gameplay type shit
Allow me to tell you a story:
When my planet was still primitive a mega corporation came, seeking the resources that my planet had in abundance.
My people fought the invaders and we were swiftly subdued and subjugated. My people were made into slaves and by the time I was born we all had a collar around our neck.
As a boy I was forced to kill hundreds of my own people using a weapon that the mega corporation trained me to wield. And for a decade I obeyed, slaughtering hundreds of my brethren for attempting to gain their freedom.
One day I was given a new weapon to wield and a choice. Would I crack the world my kind was born on? Or would I die with them.
I chose a third option, I turned the world breaker back at the ships of the Mega Corporation and fired.
Thousands of souls burned that day. And so to protect my home I flew the world breaker to the headquarters of the mega corporation. A small planet, with millions of unaware souls and I shattered it.
28 million souls burned that day, a number I had permanently burned into my skin so that I remember what the cost of my empire was.
And it's a cost I'm willing to pay over and over again to keep the Ostian Star Empire safe while I still draw breath.
The Sun Eater is one such weapon I will use to pay that price a thousand times over.
For peace on Ostia, for death onto her enemies.
Love it, artfully done.
I tried to end this war peacefully but you have forced my hand. May the toxic god have mercy on your worlds
HUMANITY FIRST LONG LIVE THE EMPEROR
The pledge played overtop the swelling music at the end gives me goosebumps everytime. Bravo sir, Bravo!
This reminded me of one playthrough I had where I made a federation and called it the galactic republic (There were only 5 empires in the entire game and 2 of them were fanatic purifiers so we didnt have th galactic community.) When I united the 3 empires that didnt want to kill everything we had about 20 years of peace. Then the fallen empires got a bit angry at us and for the next 80-100 years it was just billions upon billions of Fallen empire and galactic republic citizens dying to collosi, bombardment, invasions, etc. I tried to play nice as well and had rules of war and evrything until the FE cracked a core world and then it turned into who had more worlds because sooner or later one of us was going to run out of citizens. I wrote down every battle, major event, and war during this 80-100 years in-game and I learned only that stellaris simulated the domino effect very well.
This video was amazingly well done, and elicits memories of some of my most favorite playthroughs. I often like to think of my campaigns in a written narrative as events have happened or after they've passed, and this video accomplishes that feeling so easily.
I remember playing as a human imperium that was *genuinely* trying to better the galaxy and not be a xenophobe. I wasn't even mass-conquering, I was trying to unite via federations and diplomacy, but everyone and their mother hated me for one treaty or another I had with another individual, or my ideologies. At the end of the day, the only loyal nation to me was one that I raised from Pre-FTL to the galactic stage. My race become psionic, and eventually they became psionic from being in close proximity to my race(They were Vassals). They had fought alongside me against these snail aliens with huge squidward noses that were just NOT giving me a chance to prepare the galaxy for the coming crisis.
After long wars from them, and then an Avian race of xenophobes, my personality with my empire gradually became one of an optimist to a bitter pragmatist. Even still, in these dark times, my vassal stood by me loyally, staunchly, even when my fleet power became low, when vassals at the time would quickly deteriorate in loyalty if your military hit rock bottom from a lost war.
We had been through nearly 250 years together, creating a solid base of imperial space near the core of the galaxy. And then the Prethoryn Scourge invaded, and along with my enemies, 75% of my empire, including 4 core worlds with max population, they ate my vassals. All of them. They went extinct.
This campaign was started a few days after the apocalypse dlc was purchased by me, and I made extensive, enraged use of super weapons and mega structures in a tiny corner system -My last vanguard against the scourge that was otherwise gonna make me lose the game-, and I scoured them from the face of my galaxy with atomic fire and durasteel. I enslaved one of their queens and used them to fight against their own kin, and during all this, the rest of the galaxy sat quietly, content just to watch as I was being devoured by the Scourge, not offering to help join the fight. I was the sole target being attacked at the time, the entire focus of the scourge, so the rest of the galaxy was largely untouched save for my enemies who were eaten at the beginning, and my vassal. Despite losing most of my territory, I ended up winning the crisis BY MYSELF, and incinerating the infestation to the last. On top of it all, my Total War policies adopted just to make sure my civilization survives this holocaust ended up making me go from Xenophilic, materialist, and militarist to Fanatic Militarist, and Authoritarian, along with changing civics to Esteemed Admiralty, and the Supremacy policy. I came out stronger than I was before the crisis, and proceeded to turn to the rest of the galaxy that left me and my beloved vassal for dead, and I made sure that each and every one of those passive, bystander bastards paid tribute to MY galactic empire within the next few decades.

@@carteradams43 I appreciate this comment so much lmao. They killed my beloved dog.
@@michaeladams2146 never felt bad for a vassal before lmao, thanks for the story.
@@carteradams43 thanks for taking the time to read it! It was one of my all time favorite playthroughs, simply because of how dramatic it felt. I have not had such a loyal vassal since that playthrough. All others were treacherous punks that had to be kept in line.
Thank you for this comment
