whenever i can get around to playing stellaris, Stealing pops is Standard for me. some ships really sucks populations dry. I use stolen pops to fuel the empire, i also use pops that demands to join my empire as fuel as well. Wiping out populations, and the galaxy loves me for it.
Game: Which button will you press, green, blue, triangle, pentagon, with 4 dots, with 6 dots or dimensional lock one? Montu: (Furiously presses every button except dimensional lock one)
Ah, but we did not actually use it to ascend! There is the special project as well. Granted, I thought my leader was about to die at one point and almost did it... but we didn't finish that!
I feel like a civic that gives you dark matter technology seems like it would be really valuable because sometimes it’s difficult to get access to a fallen empire because sometimes there could be a few other empires between you and the fallen empire
Not played Stellaris for most of this year, coming back to Discover Rifts, Paragons & even the First Contact stuff all looks good enough to make me start again. So many new things! Great vid
I have a proposal for one another tier list for you. What you think about brach office buildings? Should be interesting what you think which are worth it to build.
I got that on my first playthrough that I started a few days ago, I got my ruler imortalized by the event of "ruler dying of sickness" or something from the under one ruler path, pretty cool, Aeterna the Greatest
One ruler- cool- adorable even. When is One Leader hmm? WHEN IS IT MONTU also hi! im new- i love stellaris, you got me into it! thank you so so so much!
I don't know if you noticed since I haven't finished the video yet, but the Shadow Weaver council bonus applies to all researcher jobs, including zookeepers.
Just jump back in stellaris currently using shipset mods of Treasure Planet and warhamm 40k and the star wars star forge mod. I am currently in the middle of a three-way war with the Terran Empire and Procyon Expanse and my Empire of Communal Party Clones the Geno Dominion. We all been fighting for the star forge in the rakata system where most of the fighting has been happening at.
do we really want Dominic Jay Truthsayer to live forever? I think Dr. Woodmansee is a much better choice for First Ascendant. the glory of Nolan must be proclaimed across all the multiverses!!!
Damn, one of these 50 min videos, where you are entertaint for evy single second. Thanks a lot and I hope my comment can help you, enjoy your day a bit more. Like your video did for me. ^^
I had a fun RP run, playing the Under One Rule origin, psionic ascension path and Becoming the Crisis. Took the Venerable trait. Made a deal with Eater of Worlds I had 2, 250+ year old psionic immortal leaders before the end came. The God King after subjugating the galaxy, took the war to the shroud.
Please try to complete this challenge: You need to become an overlord of your overlord in the origin "Imperial Fiefdom" before it disintegrates, if you do everything correctly, the disintegration script will not work at all. I didn't succeed, although I've been trying for a couple of years
I wonder if they'll change the number of origins, ascendant, and traditions we can choose from. Maybe in the galaxy creation screen. Just so many good ones it gets hard to choose. Also megacorp NEEDS to be able to revive leviathans what's going on, even my mods won't let me have it anymore...
Hi there :) love your content...especially the Preview Videos for the new dlcs.. Quick question..do i have to start a new campaign to Play Astral planes?. I loaded my save File and everything works fine..leader updates new civic etc...but no new technology or any rifts to speak of in the galaxy.. :(
I've never seen someone build Luxury Residences before, let alone on a planet that still has free districts left. Why not build more city districts and replace those two luxury residences with more science labs?
You only build luxury residences for pop efficieny. Rather than have a pop working a job producing ammenities. I can make them work a research job! After 2-3 luxury resiedences though I generally swap one into a holo-theatre and get an entertainer or two to free up the building slots for more research labs. TL:DR I had too few pops, not building slots. I was maximising total researchers!
It is probably more cheating to be the crisis to reduce the length of the game and make sure the leader does not die untile the end than to choose the trait: 'Venerable' hahahah
And as soon as you got that relic the challenge was essentially over i mean.... just look at its passive effect it makes this challenge basically pointless once you get that.
That was fun. I love the way Stellaris keeps getting richer as a game but jeez it's annoying to have to abandon saved games every DLC and addon. No matter, Montu, keep those challenges coming :)
Not quite. They are the "ancestors" of the Unbidden, Aberrant, and Vehement, and are the "people" who hold onto the Eternal Throne that the Unbidden crisis references often. It's essentially a "lore expansion" on who and what the Unbidden are. So the Formless would've/will/have already become the Unbidden, but are not them themselves
I'm disappointed you are still dependent on the crisis perk. If I ever design a challenge for you, I will force you to take and keep the xenophile ethic so you can't do that. I thought you said you weren't going to take an ascension perk? You did pick synthetic evolution.
You should cut the intro much shorter. Five minutes into the video and it hasn't even begun. Explaining each of the choices is unnecessary and could be condensed to only half the runtime. Consider compiling your feats, and simply saying what your empire is best at and pointing out the biggest strengths. Anybody who wants a detailed explanation can pause the video, when you hover over the perk in question. It's just very long winded. Compare that to 6:20, where it's nicely condensed as "strong economic course", short and to the point. Also, I'm really just happy that Sobak made it to live for eternity.
EXPLORE Astral Planes now using my link: play.stellaris.com/MontuPlays

If you just took venerable and under one rule your starting ruler would live for like an extra 150 years without doing anything else.
*Click on video. See Montu playing Gestalt.* Not gonna lie, I'd laugh so hard.
That's cheating 😂
@@MontuPlaysNo, it's loophole exploitation.
I mean it's what I do every run
Always remember Montu is never "evil"
He's "very evil"
Evil is a point of view.
Wonderful! Our attempt to escape montu through a rift worked! Now we are safe!
Wait.... is that a red glow in the sky- oh shi-
Hello there
I'm so sorry
General @@MontuPlays , you are a bold one.
@@seanweddermann232maybe if we ascend to the spirit world by building a galaxy level nuke?
@@MontuPlays General Kenobi
Game: Which button will you press, green, blue, triangle, pentagon, with 4 dots, with 6 dots or dimensional lock one?
Montu: (Furiously presses every button except dimensional lock one)
Montu at the beginning: without Ascension paths
Montu half-way during the video: Synthetic Evolution
Ah, but we did not actually use it to ascend! There is the special project as well.
Granted, I thought my leader was about to die at one point and almost did it... but we didn't finish that!
“Dying” to explore that ancient crater site you say? Bold words when trying to keep your leader alive
"And apparently, it's all gone great!"
MISSING IN ACTION a few lines down lol.
Loved the little 2-3 frame spoilers Montu left in a 5:13, 5:30, and 5:34
I have no idea what you mean ...
I thought I was having a seizure, whew
I did not like those shocks!
I feel like a civic that gives you dark matter technology seems like it would be really valuable because sometimes it’s difficult to get access to a fallen empire because sometimes there could be a few other empires between you and the fallen empire
David Bowman: "Oh my God! -it's full of stars!"
Interdimensional Samuel L. Jackson: "Well no sh*t!"
"Food beats space lasers!" Well, yeah...have to be alive to push the space laser button.

Great vid
Honestly: The Advantage of more food by the rift isn't that bad, it gives you more pops to work elsewhere and not on the farms. That's something.
I'm so happy you mentioned stormphrax. I don't know anyone else that has read the Edge Chronicles!
I have a proposal for one another tier list for you. What you think about brach office buildings? Should be interesting what you think which are worth it to build.
A video like that could possibly branch off in too many directions lol
I actually do this in every play through, being a genetically modified necroid has its benefits. May the Grand Karcist live forever
And again.
We will win without taking any of the 4 Ascension Paths.
Takes Synth Evo.
Classic Reptile, deceiving all d-...all the time. Or Times?
Hey, did we ascend? No we did not.
Almost did, but almost doesn't count!
I mean, did you say it or not? :P@@MontuPlays

alternative title: montu gives me existential crisises at 5.35pm, nbd
40:40 Stormphrax? Love the reference, i read almost all the books :D
I got that on my first playthrough that I started a few days ago, I got my ruler imortalized by the event of "ruler dying of sickness" or something from the under one ruler path, pretty cool, Aeterna the Greatest
One ruler- cool- adorable even.
When is One Leader hmm? WHEN IS IT MONTU
also hi! im new- i love stellaris, you got me into it! thank you so so so much!
I have to see how that fight with the unbidden went as the crisis!
I don't know if you noticed since I haven't finished the video yet, but the Shadow Weaver council bonus applies to all researcher jobs, including zookeepers.
So the animals shit dark matter
I want to see you fighting everybody all at once and crushing them! The Unbidden are gonna be a tough nut to crack, though.
I'm dying "There is an emergency" "I'M GONNA EMP THE CRAP OUT OF THEM" Just yeah I'm laughing so fkin hard right now
"GIVE me the throne... no wait, where are you going, COME BACK!" 😅😅😅
Just jump back in stellaris currently using shipset mods of Treasure Planet and warhamm 40k and the star wars star forge mod.

Felt like Enterprise Season 3 at the end, fighting off otherworldly Sphere Builders, if you will.
Montu fr just let the rift ancestors die, huh
We saved their library! And their descendants....
They had their turn
*Insert more anti-ancestor statements*
do we really want Dominic Jay Truthsayer to live forever? I think Dr. Woodmansee is a much better choice for First Ascendant. the glory of Nolan must be proclaimed across all the multiverses!!!
I have no idea what you're talking about...
Praise Nolan!
Damn, one of these 50 min videos, where you are entertaint for evy single second.
Thanks a lot and I hope my comment can help you, enjoy your day a bit more. Like your video did for me. ^^
Literally Shadow Government
I had a fun RP run, playing the Under One Rule origin, psionic ascension path and Becoming the Crisis.
Took the Venerable trait.
Made a deal with Eater of Worlds
I had 2, 250+ year old psionic immortal leaders before the end came.
The God King after subjugating the galaxy, took the war to the shroud.
Oh fuck, he's gone and made himself immortal. There'll be no stopping him now.
Until the end of the game, or the end of the universe 😉. Whichever comes first. 😂
Are you suggesting that the game can go on without the universe?
Leaders dying is the bane of my existence hence now I always go under one rule and hope they don’t die lol
"Possibly Stormphrax, I don't know. Who knows?"
Can't be Stormphrax - it leads to the center of the galaxy, not the Edge.
i love these videos i just wish you showed off your ships up close more, missles and fleets and all
*Laughs in psionic Chosen One*
This is now the cannon backstory of the ministry of timelines.
love the doctor who clips
Interesting when I played this origin spirit of our ancestors gave me military boosts. Guess it depends on which faction you help.
we want more! more stellaris story videos!
Please try to complete this challenge:
You need to become an overlord of your overlord in the origin "Imperial Fiefdom" before it disintegrates, if you do everything correctly, the disintegration script will not work at all.

it's so weird to see aliens with human names lol
I always have only one ruler in my games
Hi there :) love your content...especially the Preview Videos for the new dlcs..
Quick question..do i have to start a new campaign to Play Astral planes?.
I loaded my save File and everything works fine..leader updates new civic etc...but no new technology or any rifts to speak of in the galaxy.. :(
Let's see the Total War :)
I've never seen someone build Luxury Residences before, let alone on a planet that still has free districts left.
Why not build more city districts and replace those two luxury residences with more science labs?

I wanna seee the endinggg
extra food from farmers
...
...
yaaaaaaaay
what i think ???? 🤔 im more interested in montu’s humor in the middle of a grim and dark situation 😂😂😂😂😂
It is probably more cheating to be the crisis to reduce the length of the game and make sure the leader does not die untile the end than to choose the trait: 'Venerable' hahahah
ive done a one ruler play through. It wasnt TERRIBLY difficult- but i was disappointed there was no achievement associated with this! Very annoying.
And as soon as you got that relic the challenge was essentially over i mean.... just look at its passive effect it makes this challenge basically pointless once you get that.
I want to upvote but its at 666 so I'm just going to wait for someone else to break that.
ive already done this one for 1k years😅
That was fun. I love the way Stellaris keeps getting richer as a game but jeez it's annoying to have to abandon saved games every DLC and addon. No matter, Montu, keep those challenges coming :)
Wop wop
So the formless are just unbidden ☹️

@@Patches2212 I mean it looked like they use unbidden assets

I thought you said you weren't going to take an ascension perk? You did pick synthetic evolution.
You said at the beginning of the video you werent going to take any ascension path in order to gain leader lifespan...
One ruler? Easy. *Plays as hivemind*

higher price for less content. what a dlc!
/s
You said at the beginning of the video you werent going to take any ascension path in order to gain leader lifespan...
If you notice, we never synthetically ascended. We just got the bonuses to robots, no lifespan increases for Dominic!
