THIS IS AN OUTDATED GUIDE!! 2023 Version Here --> th-cam.com/video/Ym23cvDdbdc/w-d-xo.html
A guide for beginers and for people who stopped playing for a couple of months and are now completely lost.
a couple of months? Hah, i didnt play for at least two years.
Hear, Hear
DUDE. ACCURATE.
yeah i’ve tried to play this game about 8 times
Got it in 2016. Scared the hell out of me with the complexity. Picked it back up in 2022. Lose every time but making progress 😆
It's the kind of game that is a bit too scary to start out of nowhere. Thanks for making a video that goes across most of main features without making it an hour long :D
How is this for beginners?? U go so fast I’m lost. Can u make a guide for idiots now😂?
@@nuclear.fallout69 lol pretty much every screen in the game could be an hour plus video. theres sooooo much shit going on all the time. gets easier to manage in the later game imo. although ive never made it past crisis so i kinda suck
@Mar Zool Just set the youtube playing speed to 0.75 or 0.50 in the setting ^_^
I didn’t learn eu4 till the 80th hour. However.. knowing eu4 made this video actually feel beginner vs the beginner stuff when you have NO CLUE! Hhaha
I did and collapsed several times when my friends stopped feeding me resources 😂
I have a love/hate relationship with Stellaris. Perfect example is starting off with everything falling into place and you're doing well only to find your nearest neighbour is a fanatical purifier who then instantly swamps you with powerful fleets. Frustratingly beautiful.
23:05 I would add that you probably want to have armies on aggressive stance pretty much always. Instead of constantly micromanaging where armies go (after having to spam-click to build them in the first place), aggressive stance has them automatically follow the nearest fleet and invade any worlds they come across that they'd most likely win. They're smart enough not to invade with a hair more army strength either, I think they wait for 1.5x strength or something.
Just the guide I was looking for. Quick, to the point, but very informative.
Some newbie notes from someone with just a tiny bit of experience:
- Even more than most 4Xs, Stellaris is the equivalent of steering an 18-wheeler via remote control. Choices you make won't see their effects for ages most of the time unless you're aggressively micromanaging your populations (including shipping them from one colony to another). The smaller the map, the shorter the truck in this analogy.
- Ship design will win you a lot of fights you'd otherwise be unable to take, so don't wait too long to learn it, but you can probably skip it your first game.
- Unlike most other 4X, Stellaris doesn't have a tech victory, so keeping up with the neighbors isn't strictly necessary. Research what helps you do what you already want to do, except insofar as new ship classes/resource harvesters are concerned (you definitely don't want to fall behind on the former, and the latter gives you so many more ways to solve logistics problems).
- EDIT: You can get up to one additional influence per month by having a large fleet. This isn't massive, but considering that you will almost always need more and there's very few ways to increase it, always try to max out your ship capacity unless you literally can't afford to maintain it.
You can also get one extra influence monthly by maxing out domination which is really usefull
@@sundancetitan5675 While true, this is one of the weaker traditions IMO because none of its other pieces constitute a real leg up on the competition the way prosperity and supremacy do. My personal recommendation is expansion or discovery, then one of those two, and THEN you can start choosing based on what sounds cool to you.
It’s funny, I bought Stellaris the same day I bought warhammer 2 and never really got into it because warhammer was so good. I finally pulled it back up because warhammer 3 was so bad and loved it (knew I would, I’m a huge paradox fan, just hadn’t gotten back to it) and a week later saw that this video might be coming on a channel I started watching because of warhammer 2. And now here is the video, which is a very nice overview, and the world has come full circle. Now my teravores need to go back to eating the galaxy.
this
karl franz goes to space and enslaves the knife ears
Now that immortal empires is up it’s quite a bit better now
great overview. This helped me come to grips with all the basics I peripherally picked up in my first 2 and a half hours of play. I am ready to jump back in and sort my planets out, and upgrade my star bases which I didn't even know I could do.
I've been excitedly waiting for this guide! I know how to play already, but I'm happy to enjoy your video and give my support.
I'd love a creating your own species video, especially one that goes into some of the DLC options. Thanks for the super helpful guide!
Wow, this is the perfect tutorial for Stellaris! Perfect tempo and clear explanations. I'll watch along with my impending next playthrough at which I hopefully won't be hot garbage by mid-game... :)
Maan just what i was looking for.
Simply and quickly explained
Thanks for the content mate. Been trying to get into this. Keep it up. Love your stuff.
Watched a bunch of your great WH2 guides some time back when I was starting, perfect timing with this video! Thank you
Owned this game for a long time now and barely touched it because I wasn't ready to bury myself in so much detail, even without DLC content. Now I've got several DLCs (mostly species, Utopia, and Synthetic Dawn - because I
How did it go? Were you able to learn how to play the game?
@@nickloaiza1452I don't know about him but I'm a very similar situation and MAN how do you deal with some random fuck off nation waging war on you and rocking up with a 35k+ fleet power murder group...
Awesome video. Thanks for putting it together!
Beginning my journey. Thanks for the vid!
Thank you for this. Was quite intimidating trying to learn it all at once.
great great great beginners guide, short and clear as water, well done!
Was planning on trying this game sometime soon. Thanks dude
Just started playing this game and he just went through the menus for 8 minutes and I’m like wtf this game is so huge lol. Great video.
Great video and a nice surprise. I would love to see your perspective on empire creation as with so many options many still remain mostly unexplored by the majority of players.
Amazing video, thank you!
Awesome to see you cover stellaris mate
I used to play console edition quite a lot but after not playing for six months I litterally just bought it and all dlc on pc. This was a great help in figuring out the pc side of things! Thanks a bunch!
Thank you for this video I been so confused for so long I’m subbing in
Learned definitely something new and I've been playing for awhile awesome guide
Really good video, it helped me a lot!
Good stuff. Very helpful. Thank you.
Thank you for this excellent guide. Really important info served in a professional way. Impressive.
This is so well made and so in-depth I'm getting a bit overwhelmed here lol! I've subbed and saved this video though, I'll certainly be back again ty ^_^
Thank you for this!!
Great video man i loved it
I just bought stellaris last week, this is perfect!
Great guide. Lot of helpful tip.
Great video for a new player like myself. getting lost in space was just the beginning!
Thanks for posting!
Wtf i have been playing stellaris for some time, yet i never knew some of this stuff 👍 exceptionally well put together guide, good job colonel
These space games are so intimidating! Thank you for making it more accessible
you're a life saver
this game is so dense and hard to get into with the baked in tutorials
I can’t wrap my head around your tutorial. 6 minutes in, I had a headache listening to so much information given at such a rapid pace.
Useful! Thanks!
Yes. Thank you, friend. Liked and subscribed. :)
Ah yes just completed my phd about the game, feel almost ready to play it for the first time
dang, that was a lot, but super helpful! Thanks man!
One of my favorite most underrated creators, making a guide for a game I desperately want to play lol
Play it! I have had it sitting around at like 10 hrs gameplay from like 3 years ago and started up the other week and now I'm up to like over 300 xD
@@SeventhEthereal best thing is its now free on gamepass :)
I switched over from WH3 to Stellaris a couple weeks ago so this is a welcome sight
Jumping in the playlist!
I always wanna play these kind of games, but when getting into it im overwhelmed...
Love the video!
A request I have is a DLC review video for Stellaris. There are plenty of tier lists for the DLCs out there but if you were to suggest DLCs based on preferred playstyles and the type of empire you want to play, I think a lot of folks would find it helpful.
Cheers!
Utopia DLC is a must have. Should be on the base game. Seriously, MUST. HAVE. The others are nice but as you said it depends more on preferred playstyles.
Yeah. I am completely lost. I played the first two expansions and was like "Oh, Stellaris is on a hugh sale? Let's catch up and play." I load the game and immediately my brain crashed because the experience is so different.
Some origins, like "Prosperous Unification"(comes with vanilla Stellaris), are simply 'here is setup and resources, go nuts', while others, like "Knights of the Toxic God"(Toxoids DLC), have lore and events over decades. You'll want to pay attention to those popups, especially the first time through.
Awesome to see you playing this game now too. Love your TW: WH2 videos and look forward to your Stellaris ones also!
Oh man, a complete stellaris guide is quite the ordeal to make. Love this game though! Wanted to say I think I'd watch just about any game you do videos on, not just TWW! Well... maybe not Fortnite. Keep up the great work, man.
Ive always wanted to play this game, but for someone who never played it its a little bit much to start xD thank you for your beginners guide i love sci fi!
Was looking to pick this up and like halfway through, "Is this Crusader Space Kings: In Space?!"
I know Months later but 19:03
When you learn that you can customize the planet Automatic building, it can help a lot with micro managing. And it's only a right click away from the planetary automation button.
I've been playing Sellaris semi-regularly for years. I put the game down for three months and find that it's changed so much that I feel like I need to watch this video.
this is how you make a tutorial! well done
ACTUALLY, I picked up this game a long time ago, but never played it, then got an email from them yesterday saying First Contact has been released, because I created an account back when I got the game. I have just finished playing something else, so I thought I might look into Stellaris, and that's how I ended up here, watching your video - Thank You - and now I'm getting into it. Quite daunting, to begin with, but I will stick it out and see how I go. Great video!
What I’ve noticed is a lot of these type of games from paradox have very similar mechanics in some cases
Please make the video you suggested about creating your own empire. Thanks for the info bro.
haven’t played since 2018.
Thank you
Apprciate the tutorial but I bet a lot of people would like to have an in depth analysis of every aspect of the game like war, diplomacy, planet management, ship battles etc since this game is so insanely detailed, I would rather watch an hour tutorial for each aspect of the game than 20 min for the whole game, it would help a lot more
you make stellaris content now? good job youtube telling me that in my subscriptions... good to see you get into more things then warhammer :)
Yknow the blinking guy meme? That's quite literally me right now. Game's huge, it somehow makes Total War look simple, and I've got lots of time in both that, and EvE
just got the base game for $8 baby! thank you for the video!
I bought it becuase i wanted to zoom in on the planets. aaaahh cool sun! lol definitely put in a few a hours as the UI was intimidating......challenge accepted. 6 months later i need a recap - This is a good tutorial!
YESSS , the madman did it.
Amazing game, I'd like to try it.
Damn, you know it's a rough game when you have to watch videos just to get started
Bought the $100 edition for my friend and I am lost like a 5 year old in the supermarket
Thanks, I got this game a while back, really wanted to like it but found it too daunting. Armed with this snappy guide I'm going to try again.
Been playing since early versions. It's a great video and I enjoyed it 😊
Only thing that I would comment is about Fleet Composition, mostly that you really only need 2 types of fleets in the game: Late game Spinal Mount Battleships accompanied by around 4-8 Point Defense Destroyers and a Titan (all with artillery computers), and/or early to late game pure Corvette spam, basically with any composition cause Corvette spams are good versus nearly all, except versus End Game Crisis and Fallen Empires.
The game is not really made for balanced fleets, and those 2 perform A LOT better than any other combo.
Also that you can, and must, upgrade your fleets often, and you can easily do that from the fleet manager, or from the fleet itself. A fleet moves to the speed of the slowest ship, both in sublight and hyper jump, and, cause the speed is measured also from the remaining energy of a ship, even an apparently non-related tech like Shields, Weapons or Hyper Cores, can slow or speed the ship.
Corvettes tend to get shredded by destroyers, since they are versatile ships which have better weapons and combat computers than corvettes (hello artillery) while having super high evasion if built properly. As such they can counter missile boats, deal damage with good accuracy and work similarly as corvettes as regards hit and run.
Instead of point defence destroyers include one carrier battleship for every 4 or so artillery ones. Carriers are the best point defence a fleet can have because strike craft intercept enemy missiles and are way better at doing so than anything else, and about 10-20 corvettes. The corvettes will be at the front of the fleet and soak up the enemy's first salvo without being a meaningful loss to your fleet when they die (and they'll evade a lot anyway), allowing your first salvo to devastate the enemy because it's at full strength. Late game Stellaris combat is mostly decided by whose first salvo scores the most meaningful kills.
I like both suggestions pointed out cause they create debate, but I need to make a remark about@@AshenVictor comment: Only basic tier 0 interceptors will shoot down missiles, all the other fighters will only fire at other fighters and ships, unless that I'm missing something of Overlord update.
i dont know how many people know this but you can shift click to set multiple destinations for a unit. the ol' total war trick
GOD! it is like learning all the rules of English Croquet!
I was having insomnia at 4am and this video helped me fall asleep in minutes❤
Violation
so do the ships kinda act like Sins of a solar empire where by you can just move your ships to a hostile system and they auto fight or do you have to control them?
really great video btw just picked it up today
I thought that was a BEGINNER GUIDE. No need to play 3000 hrs anymore, I already know everything lol... (very nice and clear video) !
There is so much to the game that, hours in, I was still getting tutorial pop ups about new shit. The first time that I finally clicked on the armies section, for example. I could NOT figure out how to get attacking armies.
Paradox deserves a medal for creating something, and making it so fucking complex. I just love their games so much, but I can't make up my mind to play any because I practically can't. I never understand even after watching tutorials. They are masters of whatever they implement.
I'd love to hear your description of the crisis in the game. All we need is a Chaos Invasion mod for the crisis and we can finally make Warhammer Fantasy in space!
Workshop will sue the pants off that mod lol
You know they have warhammer Fantasy in space, its called Warhammer 40k
@@Ivan-vn1pd Darn it, Games Workshop stole my idea!
Damn this game looks massive..
All I can think of is, imagine a game like this, but made in the Warhammer 40k lore.
I mean total war completely changed the landscape for Warhammer fantasy. This sorta game for 40k would make me weep with joy.
Can you do more videos like on trading or espionage console just got updated to the pc version and I don’t know how to use these
Great video! Holy crap this game is dense! lol
dono for the algorithm. thx for the work
dear god, was considering buying, now im gonna just wait for a steam sale lol
4:32 I don't see an 'Advisor' tab anywhere. Does that require a dlc?
What about making a necrophage or hive mind guide? Also if anyone else knows any tips please reply I’m fairly new to the game but they seem cool.
Great video. The only thing I would improve is to slow down a little while your talking as it sounds like your on your 18 cup of coffee lol.
Yass i love this game 🎮 🙌 😍
uhmm btw how do you get mining ships? every time I build a mining station, it does just that, I see no miners working, and there are no mining ships in the shipyard to build? confusing
Geez right. I just came back and it's actually really frustrating I'm pretty sure this is the third major overhaul. I remember when you used to put buildings on little squares that had modifiers and you just dragged pops onto the spots you wanted them to work. Ffs
After watching most of this video I thought I would try and play a game. Before I had even managed to finish a survey of the star system next to my starting one cultists suddenly showed up out of no where in my starting star system and killed off my starting fleet on top of chasing my little construction ship away.. I think I'll continue to do research and watch videos before attempting to play this game again
Holy crap at the amount of information you need to remember!! lol
Back in my day there were 3 different starting travel methods, then they patched out 2 of them so everyone just uses hyperspace lanes
Yes it was better for balance. You also have natural wormholes than connect systems and gateways that can allow you to instantly travel between any other gateways you've repaired (or created yourself once you have the tech) you also get the jump drive late game and you can instantly move quite far regardless of the hyperlane connections. However if you turn the hyperlane density up to the highest setting when creating a new game its basically the same as having warp travel in the older versions as you can travel from pretty much any system as long as they are close enough. The hyperlanes allow for a lot more strategic planning and turning systems into fortresses. Especially if you have a planet there and FTL inhibitors as an enemy empire will have to take out the starbase and take the planet to move further into your empire.
I guess I can hold off on making the Emporium of mankind.
You really should include how ridiculously important cities are, like, you should be spamming them whenever you get a chance, because they give you pop growth. I went weeks without realizing this.
After watching entertaining videos on this game and other strategy-heavy titles of similar genre for a few years while never diving into these types of game because I'm a normal human who functions on violent power fantasy, and testosterone-filled combo mashing. I can tell I will be rewatching this video multple times before stepping foot into this world of brain games.
