I agree the Space X launching & relanding was an awesome moment in human history. Hopefully we can pull our collective selves together and strive for a brighter future. The Moon, then Mars after that anything else is possible.
Yup, they did, but only with peoples they were similar with. Anyone else too meek, would be enslaved, anyone too tough would be enslaved as Gladiators. Plus, any non human slaves would not be allowed in the Sol System. Only the robots they built would be allowed, because they would be seen as servants. Combat robots would be in the armed forces.
Dude just by the Intro I was hooked into the series. I love that you put amazing effort into the series too, makes me love it more. And I from my 5 Minutes into the video it already looks great. Long live the Imperium Romanum under the great Tibberius Caesar of the new Pax Romanum.
imagine lleaving your star system for the first time and finding life, proofs of intelligent civilization AND giant Ruins in the neighbor system. That shoulld trigger a crisis in the pop at least for a year
I started following your channel because of your first Roman Stellaris playthrough. I remember when you were in three separate wars and things looked bleak, but I rallied the people along with the other senators of the time to redouble our efforts and push back our enemies, which ended in some of the Empire’s greatest gains in all its history. I look forward to partaking in Rome’s Rise to Galactic Domination yet again with all the changes made to the game since then. Roma Invicta! Roma Aeternum!
It's unary (singulary would be more faithful to the Latin but English doesn't always work that way), not uniary. The one for three is ternary, not trinary.
@@edgaraurelius why ternary? like latin or just some source I am not aware of? @Sovereign I guess typo as wikipedia says "Quintenary" instead of "quinary"
Drako Private Yes, like Latin (although trinarius existed, it came about very late c. 6th century AD) but if you were to look in an English dictionary, ternary is far more widely attested than trinary in the Oxford English Dictionary and trinary isn't even in Merriam-Webster. Edited to add: same with your correction of quinary. Quinary exists and is perfectly fine English.
This Humble Senator was nominated to senator during the first Roman Galactic Conquest. I now stand back in this Senate ready to advise my Caesar. Hail Tiberius! Hail Caesar! Senatus Populusque Romanus!!!
Darren, I’d like to hear more about the backstory and details of this Roman Empire you lead. Where did the history for this Roman Empire diverge from ours? Also, is the position of emperor inherited or is it a senate appointment? Is it for life or a predetermined period?
Fraser Budd-Brophy that’s my third scenario, my first two is that either (1)Julian didn’t die on campaign but had a long reign that not only stabilised the empire, but organised the empire and the Hellenic religion to oppose the rise of Christianity. Or (2)the Battle of the Frigidus was won by Eugenius and Roman Paganism had a resurgence.
@@fraser1614 but we cant dedicate anything to sol invictus they really missed a great chance here its a bummer that aurelian is really unknown despite he being best roman emperor(for me at least)
A bunch of the other stuff has probably already been cleaned up, with the garbage patch being one of the final projects, not to mention this spot is two or three times the size of Texas.
And thus history was been made, The greatest playthough of all stellaris ever. No, the greatest playthrough of ALL gaming! This series is truly the best, hope you make more of it.
The idea of pops being “worker = billion people, specialist = million people, ruler = a thousand people” is a really interesting one. The only problem with it is that Pops can get promoted or demoted. So if you have a planet with full employment and no unemployment, you’ve got 10 miners on it, and you build a research lab, two of those miner Pops will become researcher Pops. If you’re using your population scheme, that means that nearly two billion people just vanished completely. And if a pop gets demoted from specialist to worker, that would mean that nearly a billion people just poof into existence somewhere.
Yeah I mention that, and am aware of its issue, but it works to look at a planet “at a glance” - its reasonable to assume that if you have 1 miner and 1 scientist and 1 ruler, there’s probably less rulers than scientists, and less scientists than miners. I dont really have a solution to the promote problem, other than to just imagine they emigrate or higher class pops have less kids.
RepublicOfPlay Ah, I wrote this before watching the rest of the video. As it happens, higher-class people *do* have fewer kids, in that increased standard of living correlates with lower family size, though it wouldn’t solve the issue of people vanishing or looking out of the ether. However, one thing that does make a lot of sense is that on most planets, you’ll have more worker-class pops than specialist pops or especially ruler pops. There’s really no way to get lots of ruler pops on a planet, to my knowledge-though you can, obviously, spam specialists if you want to. Also, as an aside, as a member of the NSC2 Dev team, I’m really excited to see how the Romans build their navy!
@@jonathanrich9281 Hmmmm, I think it's extended education that tends to result in smaller family size. If you look at the very high income/born privileged groups, they have the most children of all, because they can afford help and re-marry younger wives etc.
I've never played Stellaris, but I enjoy your content because you make everything informative for the newcomer, and exciting for the veteran. Looking forward for more. Keep it up and stay safe !
As a console peasant who finally got 2.2 and now apocalypse, my stellar is addiction has been reinvigorated. Binging your stellaris videos have become one of my favorite pastimes. Keep up the great content!
To further glory of our optimate Emperor and the momentuos event he has brought upon this empire with the advent of the FTL drive to take our Limes further into the unknown, and doubtless barbarian space. I move to name our first colony outside of Terra in his honor and for future rememberance of his deeds to his people; COLONIA OPTIMA TIBERIA.
For long terms plans I OOC suggest Psionic Ascension. Each Psionic avatar gained from the shroud should be declared to be an "Avatar" of a roman god, and each Titan christened likewise. Although I suppose Synthetic Ascension is ok too, although the gods and their faithful might look unfavourably upon it.
I'm just torn up right now. I really want to see how you play the game but I can't get away from this incredible intro. It is really first class. Damn it. Well, I'll watch it one more time. Or two times.
I so understand your sense of pride and wonder of the joys of human accomplishment. The stars await us, and offer a chance for humanity to find its best selves.
So I've never been on you channel before, only watched the first 5 minutes and thought, "hell, this guy actually puts work into his content?! Man, guess I'd better Subscribe".
Even with tons of hours in the game seen u take this at a slow speed and reading thing is really enjoyable, its easy to forget about all the fun little things that have small explanations and trivia in the game when u have played it for so long. Looking forward to following this series. :D
Thank you for your wonderful content. I appreciate your gift of time as well as how you approach this game with wonder. You are bringing us along with fun exploration.
Pausanias (Παυσανίας in Greek) was a Spartan General who fought in the Greco-Persian Wars. Specifically he won againsts the Persians at battle of Plataea. And there is another guy named Pausanias who was a philosopher when Hadrian was Emperor.
Yeah Darren, a sense of belonging and pride with the accomplishments of the human species. This kind of vision of the world and relation to it would do wonders if generalized, in my opinion. I think states and countries are unneeded boundaries, and that cooperating instead of competing against each other would greatly enhance the possibilities we have.
Absolutely amazing content. I've been searching for you, sir, for a while. I love how you are playing in a slow pace and make sure new people are included, but still mention to the frustrated experienced players that you know what you're doing, and why. I'm only 30 minutes in and can't wait for the rest! P.s Glory to the mellow content creator voice!
Presenting Senator Bracius, representing Provincia Varangia, in humble service to his Imperial majesty Tiberius Caesar. Ave Caesar! Ave Roma! (New to the channel, and always love a good Roman playthrough. Of anything. Especially space. :P If it's not clear, Bracius is from Scandinavia, and since the East Romans employed the Varangian Guard... yeah. Looking forward to the series, and participating in the Senate!)
dude i loved your slow paced intro and playstyle, its hard to find these days. ive been playing stellaris too and as you do i love to read every single thing in the game because i'd like to see the anomalies, the stranger galaxies or etc in my civilizations eye, theyve never seen it. yes i may have played numerous times to know early concepts of game but the civilization that ive decided to play a new game is very unfamiliar with these things. i guess im a roleplayer in that case, i do not like the min/max style that much but the success is i guess is to balance between roleplaying and minmaxing. love your content and your streams, keep it up!
Ave, Imperator! This is the first time I stumbled upon your Stelaris Vid. I only play CK2 and EU4 so this will be like the first time of me watching an LP of this game. I don't mind if I don't get the mechanics. This is a Galatic Roman Empire~ :D
Dagon is the real name of a recently discovered planet, formery called "Fomalhaut B" in the Fomalhaut system named, after an ancient Babylonian and Caananite water and sea deity. He's also referenced in HP Lovecraft's novellas. So it's actually a real place, having it included in the game is very good attention to detail on the developer's part.
I would personally say that 100K is better than 1K for Rulers. 1.000 Senators seems so few, when compared to the real life EU having more than 700 parlamentarians for less than 400 million people. 1000 administrators also seems few to direct the work of all those billions. Just my thoughts. Nice beginning for a series! Will be binging this I think
I know that I'm pretty late to give advice, but here I go: If you get the Grunur precursors, rush them, cause their bonus are nearly game-breaking in the early game. Having one Gaia planet over the investment of 3 years of influence (assuming +4 a month it takes 37'5 months) is broken due to the bonuses of Gaia planets, that only waaaaay later on you can reproduce with buildings or Ring Worlds. To put it into perspective, you invest one and a half of the cost of claiming a system, and you get the second best planet of the game...
As someone who normally plays multiplayer Stellaris, its such a relief to be able to slow down and appreciate everything in the game since theres no pausing without pissing off the entire discord call heh.
Never got around to try out stellaris, part of the reason being that it's systems seem fairly complicated at a glance. So I for one am really happy you're taking a slower and more beginner friendly approach! Looking forward to this playthough! Will upcoming episodes go up on this channel or on your LP channel ?
I've found watching it a great help; the actual game is very engrossing, if you just give it a try. I disabled most of the DLC and tried it out with a smallish galaxy, but you need to play it to really get how to explore and settle.
If you want to issue chained commands easily, right click on a system, and you can for example tell a construction ship to do all of a certain type of improvement there, or a research ship to do all of the survey or anomaly research, etc
For the number of people in each pop, I still like to think that every pop represent a billion people, even for ruler pops. It's just that not every single person is a senator, but rather part of his entourage and derive their power through the Senator. A single senator represent a family or house and huge number of minor nobles, pampered children, functionaries and what have yous all depended on the wealth and power of that senator. So when a pop degrades they have to find jobs on their own rather depending on the senator.
Could you maybe ask starchitec to release this custom roman mod on the workshop so all of us could use it? I also would like to play a stellaris roman campaign with thos amazing looking mod!

Hi, very impressing. Just stumbled upon your first video. You do a hell of a job. Any chance to get a short walkthrough on creating those Romans? I guessed most of it, but still lost in some places (eg title of the heir). The Origin text is not the same for me and I am totally lost regarding the game settings and the questions about the mod settings at the game start. What is the correct mod order? Any chance to get some more informations?
What is the song used in the intro, and where is the quote about "It's not more speeches in the senate that will change the world" from? Is it HBO's "Rome"? Also, are those self-landing rockets from the Space-X launch? I need to watch it.
The speech is from Imperator Augustus trailer for Total War Rome 2. It is the space x dual rocket landing for the first time. Song in the intro escapes me right now (not at my computer)
@@RepublicOfPlay Cheers Rep :) Half-way through episode 4, really enjoying the series, never played Stellaris though so could you explain how your border is so massive when you only own 4 planets? I'm guessing any systems where you don't have a defensive, or colonised presence (i.e. just resource buildings) are fragile to be taken over by anyone who wanted to? I'm used to Sins of a Solar Empire where each system can be 'owned' and protected.
yeah seeying the artimis program coming together really makes me want to be a part of it. even as just the cheerleader on the sideline spreading the knowledge as a fanboy. I wish I could work in my field as programmer for them but I don't have the skills so I am content with just cheering.

In that naming convention, the four order would be called "quaternary." So uniary, binary, trinary, quaternary, quinary, etc.

A single senator represent a family or house and huge number of minor nobles, pampered children, functionaries and what have yous all depended on the wealth and power of that senator. So when a pop degrades they have to find jobs on their own rather depending on the senator.
Lightening storm in space? Last time that happened was on the date James T Kirk was born. “Wink wink”
I have waited forever for the next one! Just made my week.
WHEN SHE ASKS YOU “How often do you think of ROME?!” 👀
Looks great, can't wait for more!

1'000 admin to 1 billion workers. That makes the admin the 1% of the 1% of the 1%. Lol.
I stumbled upon this playthrough and got hooked up on Stellaris.
Again...
BTW, a note - letter c in Latin is always pronounced with a /k/ sound.
Came across this in recommended. Thank you for incredibly fun content. You make the this game fun to watch. Subbed!! Smash the thumbs up!!
I love stellaris music and I want to watch this so mch
That intro is just amazing!
I likes and subed and commented. May all recommendations lead to Roma!
Great first episode. On a scientific note , i think all systems with two or more stars are called Binary systems.
I’ve looked it up since, it’s Binary for 2, Trinary for 3, Quaternary for 4, quintenary for 5, sextenary with 6, septenary with 7 and star cluster after that.
its so awesome you said "lets talk a little about our species"... because most other youtubers would either carelessly or because they are lazy would wrongly have said "race" .. good on ya
Hi, very impressing. Just stumbled upon your first video. You do a hell of a job. Any chance to get a short walkthrough on creating those Romans? I guessed most of it, but still lost in some places (eg title of the heir). The Origin text is not the same for me and I am totally lost regarding the game settings and the questions about the mod settings at the game start. What is the correct mod order? Any chance to get some more informations?
We find these truths to be self evident. A imperium of man for men and always for the emperor. For mankind!
What is the song used in the intro, and where is the quote about "It's not more speeches in the senate that will change the world" from? Is it HBO's "Rome"? Also, are those self-landing rockets from the Space-X launch? I need to watch it.
One thing he definitely took from HBO's Rome was Pompey proclaiming "My legions are mustering as swiftly as possible!"
The speech is from Imperator Augustus trailer for Total War Rome 2. It is the space x dual rocket landing for the first time. Song in the intro escapes me right now (not at my computer)
@@RepublicOfPlay Cheers Rep :) Half-way through episode 4, really enjoying the series, never played Stellaris though so could you explain how your border is so massive when you only own 4 planets? I'm guessing any systems where you don't have a defensive, or colonised presence (i.e. just resource buildings) are fragile to be taken over by anyone who wanted to? I'm used to Sins of a Solar Empire where each system can be 'owned' and protected.
The overlord dlc would be perfect for a Roman lets play
yeah seeying the artimis program coming together really makes me want to be a part of it. even as just the cheerleader on the sideline spreading the knowledge as a fanboy. I wish I could work in my field as programmer for them but I don't have the skills so I am content with just cheering.
Also great episode, looking forward to the next one!
Recently discovered your channel, just wanted to say I love your content and keep up the good work 👍
Thanks 🙏
That intro was fucking cool
Rome and space. 2 of my fav things as well
