With the new DLC out here is the first of the new Full Playthroughs! I plan on making three in total covering all of the new origins and perhaps a quick test video with the new civic which has similar abilities as the origins themselves! I'm still of two minds of this DLC so feedback is very welcome! I hope you all enjoy! :D So two things to mention - I mix up what shield regen is early on in the game, I correct myself later. I ALSO mix up what the contingency is made of in regards to their defense (I was thinking about their big stations which are mostly hull.) I correct myself later on that too. Recording over many days can lead to.. odd words being said in odd ways. I will also be covering the cloaking system a lot more in future videos!
Lathrix I think you should give yourself a bit more leeway in term of the end game year and difficulty settings in general, so that you don't have to always go for the "meta" choice and experience the content of the game more fully. For example, make it so that you don't have to always take defender of the Galaxy ascension perk.
I do not know if you will ever see this but I wanted to say Thank you. I mostly only watch your Stellaris content so when a gem like this drops I watch it at work. I work in a gas station and having a 2 hour video to watch is bliss, so thank-you so very much for this much-needed respite from customers.
Every time i see Lathland upload a stellaris vid i get so happy and grab a bowl of popcorn and makes me want to play a shit ton of stellaris afterwards T_T seriously LOVE what your doing please DONT STOP
@@warning641 it is a rather micromanaging plethoras of things to do that’s for sure there are guides on how to play the game or u could be like me and just wemod everything :D 🤪😂
it looks nice but since I'm running void dweller+, and that can get you some pretty big habitats, I'm wondering if the models jsut gets replaced once you get past the size 10
I will state that there is a “event” where a pre FTL civilization nukes themselves. However, the only pop up I saw was their awareness went to zero and it was now a tomb world. I saw it happen in one of my play throughs the other day. But I don’t have the dlc so it might be different.
Hello Lathrix. Im a long time viewer and want to say thank you for making youtube all that more entertaining for us. Signed- Raptor Jesus of the Lathrixian Archives
The new civic is actually pretty neat, there's several versions of it, depending on the sort of empire you are, with different specific effects and weird synergies that allow for some interesting options. I like the pre-ftl, mostly like the artifact changes, and cloaking is handy, and there's a bunch of random stuff they quietly added in the background... I find the origins hit or miss though. And wish the story depth in this story pack was closer to the Knights. EDIT: Middling level peeve: if you want to make real use of archeotech in your fleets, it's a pain because they have a resource cap that's just /way/ too low to make full use of.
Always adore full playthroughs! For this DLC I am also a bit mixed, in terms of story and trying to make a narrative using all the origins relying on one another is a cool concept but having a serious penalty makes it a tough pill to swallow.

And when those responsible for the murder of millions are found, every injustice will be repaid a hundred and then a thousand times over. The entire galaxy will know that they came to the wrong neighborhood, and knocked on the wrong door." -Greater Terran Union prologue
When the bit about breaching the terms and conditions got brought up...I was immediately reminded of TTS Bro trip. I could hear Lance cashpants screaming that lol.
Every piece of content from you is gold Lathrix. Dripping with care and effort every time as well as your natural charm and humour carries anything you post. Keep it up! Don't stop the long form!
This is why I watch your channel, for these playthroughs. Love Stellaris. I'm always 2-3 DLCs behind the current, so I appreciate your playthroughs very much! Just starting it now.
The lack of minor artifacts is a major stopgap for upgrading my fleets now, there need to be a setting switch that makes the auto made ships not use the artifact tech.
No normal player uses auto made ships lmao. ALWAYS deselect that option and simply create templates and then set them to auto upgrade...that's the only "auto" you should use, pro tip ;)
@@ethanfaulkinbury8640 what's the difficulty in ship design? Just use what you think is cool, eventually you'll see what works and what doesn't work...using auto build gets you terrible designs that don't work well
57:02 I totally get that, I usually feel the same way when I'm not just stomping the AI in a strategy game. Currently playing Endless Space 2 as the Hissho (which ironically have a very similar backstory) and I got a super unlucky start but it's actually kinda interesting.
14:17 I'm glad you've chosen the habitat route. Other people I've watched did indeed choose the flagship route. But a habitat sounds much more interesting. But then again, that's probably because I usually play as a pacifist.
I really would love a review video, I like keeping up with stellaris updates. I also really like how you speak, and I really relate to you from what I've seen though your content and tweets. And the way you explain things always makes my brain happy and actually help me remember things!
I hope you never stop making videos, i remember the first time i watched one of your videos it was a stonehearth series and i was stuck ever since. I appreciate the constant videos nonstop its like a comfort watching your videos after work
Really, really looking forward to the next playthrough! Love these videos. Thank you for all the time it takes you, and that you put in to making these videos!! :)
"as the lovely TH-cam overlords continue to try and for shorts, and we simply wish to wear trousers" lines like this are why I love your content. Out of left field and completely killed me
I'm enjoying the dlc from a role play perspective, but I have to say there's not a whole lot different with gameplay in the long run, even with a universe packed full of pre-ftl civs. The origins are the best part, imho.
I love full Stellaris playthroughs, and you are one of the only creators that still does them. Thank you for your hard work! Hope you get an ROI on this.
Personally I love watching you do these types of runs and lengths of videos, I've seen everyone of them (your videos) for stellaris and personality my favourite run was when you absolutely dominated the Blokkats! Keep up the amazing work boss 🤠 stellaris is a series I'd love to see continued
Awesome video! Armor hardening and shield hardening techs do indeed stack Torpedos bypass 100% of shields, but if you have 50% shield hardening, they do half of their damage to your shields If you hit 100% shield hardening, bypass weapons will no longer bypass shields The shield hardening has inherently more value than armor hardening since guided weapons and strike craft bypass shields whereas only arc emitters, disruptors and cloud lightning bypass armor However 3 of the archaeotech do have armor bypass, the archaeo strikecraft, archaeo missiles and archaeo lasers(tho the lasers only have 50% armor bypass)
i like looking after things/people, and this lets me help and care for more little ones, so i like this DLC, also stealthed mass cruiser fleets are fun
I initially thought the DLC was light on content. But I have grown really fond of all the new mechanics around pre FTL. I am now personally happy with it :)
Storm in Sol is probably an Alpha Century reference but I could be reaching. In Alpha Century one of the endings include using planet's native hivemind to achieve biological singularity
I'm really enjoying your content Lathrix. I agree with your choice to turn the "Invaders Ship" into a Habitat over a Warship. It's the more interesting choice, in my opinion. Thanks for sharing.
Really glad for another full Stellaris vanilla playthrough. It would have been fitting, if the "Sanctuary"-system would have spawned to be "protected" once more.
Love the videos! Also, had a thought. When was the last time you tried a Rouge Servitor playthrough? Just curious. I realized I haven't seen anyone playing that in a LONG time. Decided to try it myself, and wondered how you'd handle it with all the game options available at this point.

Can't wait for the others.
Will you do similar videos for Age of Wonders 4 coming May 2nd?
Fear of the Dark is very story heavy, but really, they all are. It's wild.

Even just another 25 years would make a big difference

Me, talking to myself while watching this: You're a weird galaxy!
Kidding, these remain the highlight of my month.
I love these long videos! It's so good to be able to curl up on the couch and watch these.
Just gonna say I kept thinking about the Ur-Quan from star controll when you described your races motivation.
Really, really looking forward to the next playthrough! Love these videos. Thank you for all the time it takes you, and that you put in to making these videos!! :)
I am always here for more Sellaris from Lathrix!
Even when it is something more unusual for the channel, like review
Love your vids especially stellaris. thanks for at this point probably thousands of hours of videos. BEST DEAL EVER!

Had this video running while playing Star Citizen. Really good for them long travelling times.
Thanks for the upload.

BOUT TIME
I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
So cool to finally catch a play through vid so soon after release! Your videos have gotten me really into this game!
Was excited to see this one. Wanted to see what youd do with the new DLC. Keep up the amazing content Lathland.
Watched a couple editted playthroughs and they both picked the ship, so I am actually glad you picked the habitat. Also, algorithm.
Always happy to see a story playthrough in full, keep up the good work
I love these long form videos thank you for doing them they have been amazingly enjoyable!!
I was sitting there so badly hoping that you would pick the habitat. Thank goodness.
Another great video : D
Keep it up! As always your joy is infectious.
the only man brave enough to post those full stellaris playthroughs. o7
For the algorithm, blessed be the full playthrough

I'd love to see a review. You're the channel that convinced me to get stellaris, only sensible I'd want your opinion.
I’ve been waiting for you to try the new expansion! Looking forward to see how it goes!
amazing, ive been waiting for your videos to come out!
Awesome video! Armor hardening and shield hardening techs do indeed stack
Torpedos bypass 100% of shields, but if you have 50% shield hardening, they do half of their damage to your shields
If you hit 100% shield hardening, bypass weapons will no longer bypass shields
The shield hardening has inherently more value than armor hardening since guided weapons and strike craft bypass shields whereas only arc emitters, disruptors and cloud lightning bypass armor
However 3 of the archaeotech do have armor bypass, the archaeo strikecraft, archaeo missiles and archaeo lasers(tho the lasers only have 50% armor bypass)
At this current moment lathland has made 24,000 on views ALL HAIL THE ALGORITHM GIVE THIS MAN MORE MONEY cause he’s such a humble guy we all love.
I have never played stellaris but I have watched every Stellaris video on this channel :) just love the series
My favorite Stellaris channel!!!!
Loving the full playthroughs, keep it up Lathrix!
Woohoo, another full playthrough so swiftly, all hail lathryx!
Cloaking focus is hilarious and on theme with criminal heritage
I never comment on TH-cam, but this is a series I’d love to see continue. :)
Definitely looking forward to watching you do the other new origins, they seem quite interesting. Also, algorithm, yay
Let's go! NEW FULL PLAYTHROUGH!!! LETS GOOOOOOOO!!!
woooooooo more stellaris....thanks so much for playing these games, i always enjoy watching them
You're really good at reading and dubbing the character.
Absolutely love it, full playthroughs and more of it
To the algorythm we pray,
Let Lathland's name be shared,
Here we witness His gameplay,
In awe of His time offered.
i like looking after things/people, and this lets me help and care for more little ones, so i like this DLC, also stealthed mass cruiser fleets are fun
Payback is the most challenging origin. And so sad I won against MSI and destroyed them and was not granted an achievement for that in Steam.
I know that the full play throughs hurt your channel TH-cam wise but it’s also the main reason I keep looking up your name so there’s that
Another heaping helping of Stellaris! Today is a good day!
I initially thought the DLC was light on content. But I have grown really fond of all the new mechanics around pre FTL. I am now personally happy with it :)
