@@reasonabledoubt459 Ye i noticed :D i love Stellaris, i actually just started a new game recently with the Arc Welders origins since by trade and work im a welder lol. I had my suspicion that it was Stellaris, but then it mentioned Titan and im like "yep it is awesomeee" I believe it is currently the mid/late game or its about to be anyways since you defeated the nomads, although it could just be the khan mis game crisis never spawned. Btw are you the creator?
@@HRBladeAU Yup. :) I wrote this one, among many...many...many others. I just wrote the first chapter of the next arc not ten minutes ago. This one will feature a coalition of rising regional powers that threatened my Republic in the postwar period when I was in economic recession thanks to overspending to fend off the Kho. It took a lot of effort to rebuild my finances and stabilize the damaged systems in time to face the threat of other Empires again. In short, I was stagnant while they grew, and I was the logical choice to attack while I was still rebuilding my fleet when the first one of them invaded. I knew that if I lost this war, the chances of my long term survival in the game was slim, and that I not only had to win, I had to win 'big' to make sure my neighbors were crippled and new neighbors overawed for a long, long time. So this was the most do or die situation I'd been in yet. The Kho wanted to humiliate me, the new threat actually wanted to conquer me. As far as where it is 'in game'... I would characterize it as 'early mid' since it's a massive galaxy and at this stage I still didn't really control but maybe 1/5th of it? Maybe even only 1/6th. However I knew that if I handled this incoming threat after 'The Struggle' I would rule about 1/3 - 1/4th. But that would also put me on the border with a lot of other species that I'd never fought before and had only tenuous relationships with and almost no intelligence. Future stories will focus more on individual characters against the backdrop of politics, and hopefully that'll be something listeners will enjoy. I much prefer character writing to event oriented. :)
It was very well done, I found it captivating and will listen to it again in the future. And i think ill need to replay Stellaris as well 😊 Thank you to the Author
Nice story! Also, such feats of superhuman strength, although not common, actually do occasionally happen for real. There are records of such things happening. Strong emotions can trigger a big spike in our adrenaline levels, bringing about the strength necessary to save lives. It's mind-boggling to know just how amazing our bodies are.😃🤗
You know the color of one’s skin doesn’t determine how they talk right? True the ai isn’t the best at accents or dialects but that doesn’t matter in this case. It’s actually rather fascinating how often people’s voice doesn’t match their appearance. Though if you’re insistent please do tell how they’ve been whitewashed if there are details I’ve missed. Before you ask yes I am black and noticeable so in terms of appearance.
Oh I remember this story, I'll give it a re-listen! For those who don't know this is all actually based off of a Stellaris play through 😂😂😂
Stellaris vibes
It’s based off an ongoing game of Stellaris. ;)
The sequel ‘Humanity: Threatened’ Will begin with the story ‘The Struggle’.

Great analogy, I agree.

@@reasonabledoubt459 Well I love it! Good luck and have fun, I await the future stories! For Freedom!

Great story made walking the dog a must do task he went out three times in a day 😅
Tell me you play stellaris without telling me you play stellaris. Great story tho
This is why you never allow open First contact protocols. Always aggressive or Cautious unless you're a Rogue Servitor.
Good story. I've heard it before and it is worth another listen.
this was an excellent series.
Wonderful!

Pretty good so far, seems like it would be one hell of a video game btw.
Apparently it's based off a game of stellaris 😂
@@farrglehorn8216 no wonder I was thinking it was similar...
👍That was a great story, I really enjoyed it. 😁
Nice story!!
Louisville becomes the capital of Earth? As in Kentucky? How that happened has to be a story worth listening to by itself.
I like the ai art attempts, but Pike is a black lady and the AI i think managed to NOT whitewash her like one time

@@fatalvenomXThe story literally describes her color my dude. Multiple times. "Mocha" being one of them.
Not first
One of the better stories I've heard here in a while, although the ending was a bit disappointing
The ending… sets up the sequel. ;)
❤
100% stellaris/SoaSE
This makes me want to play stellaris 😂
Almost an hour in, and it went open boarder politics
NUTS😂😂😂😂😂
Xenomorphs?
Sarah Morgan disliked that.
FAFO
