I feel like a smart move for the AI would be to run a full on "Breed like your life depends on it!" campaign. That way, even if half of their children are getting sacrificed every month, they're making so many that their population is still growing.
Ah, finally, get to watch the newest video of Lathrix being the space "good" guys "You're LOYAL!?!" It's like the story of the dragon, where the civilization built up expecting people to go get fed to the dragon and built their civilization around it.
Lathrix is such a good guy, at one point the end game chrisis will arrive, look at the horror inflicted to the galaxy, and just Nope! their way back to where they came from. Saving the galaxy from the end game chrisis before it has even arrived!
“You know, I know it’s horrible that we have to sacrifice a person every time a new baby is born, but I mean, think of it this way. We’ve had to deal with this for the past 5 years, it’s not like we can magically stop it from happening anymore. It’s an inevitable fact of life that we have to sacrifice a person to the infection every time someone is born. It’s a utopian pipe dream to not have to do that, so you know, don’t worry about it.” - loyal empires/subjects
@Nospam Spamisham wow. just, wow. I have never seen such a politically blind person. but yknow. i do hope you enjoy your last few months with your demon king- oop sorry i misspelled President trump
@@ChaoticNeutralMatt oh i would never put effort into a rebuttal to someone who supports the republicans! they dont use common sense so why would they deserve effort :)
Just wanted to say that the diplomatic weight stats are better for seeing fleet power than the pathetic-overwhelming scale. You can get an exact number for how strong they are, and how strong you are in comparison
This only works up to about mid game against AI because after that you have no idea what their production capabilities are. Maybe you ARE twice as strong, but maybe they can rebuild that fleet within a year or two after you destroy it, over and over. I imagine that point comes much sooner with human players.
Mind Flayers are a Dungeons and Dragons creature. Basically aliens that eat brains, implant their larvae into other creatures to make more of themselves, and are powerful psionicists. Very Lovecraftian.
@@jhtrq1465 Those look more like Starspawn of Cthulhu. I think the disgusting green/black ones with the front-facing mouth filled with sharp teeth and tentacle beard are more like Mind Flayers.
They are my favorite monster - and no I do not want humans or elves being psionics as well. The fact they are so ALIEN and way beyond simple understanding is what makes it cool they can just throw around anti-magic fields, their psionics cannot be blocked in return - they mind blast you into idiocy before eating your brains, etc.
@@kinagrill Illithid are quite understanble and "human" in their behaviour. I mean, they rulded an interplanar empire based on slavery, they have 2 arms legs and eyes (with a few little tentacles) Beyond their reproductive method and the hivemind thing, they are very similar to any other species in the D&D lore, they even have gods of their own (Illsensine). The Far Realms from where they come is really lovecraftian (unfathomable and all) but illithid looks more like humans having evolved there that a truly native species.
How would a hive mind worshipping slaanesh even work? I mean I can see Khorne, Nurgle or even Tzeentch but the Goddess of excess and decadence? For a hive mind? Maybe someone has an explanation for me? Also this empire is just the definition of Lathrixian 'Good Guys'. Making the galaxy a more beautiful and better place. Somewhat. Somehow.
Well a hive mind like this acts in its own self interest and can still apparently feel and crave things such as food and other sensations - I'm sure it could fall to gluttony and excess with what it does!
@@Lathland Thanks for the response and enlightenment! So the hive mind would eat more than it could digest and infect more people than it could sustain. Just for fun and giggles. Maybe 'playing' with its food and hosts for recreation and 'science'. Yeah I can see that.
Yup! At least that's my own justification for It, though It Is a hyper intelligent entity made of countless minds working as one, It Is still just that - an entity, with wants and desires, and though they can be pretty base desires they are still perfectly capable of being driven into overdrive like pure gluttony!
Porter Wright ik, pathetic, I have pretty severe wrist pain. I’m waiting on blood work to tell me wtf is happening to me. But if it ends up being something curable I’ll have way more than 220 lol
These videos seem perfect for anyone in lockdown right now. They’re really long, Lathrix does excellent commentary, the editing basically skips through the video for you, they’re perfect! It’s like a podcast you can actually see.
8:06 Regular pacifist can make claims on both Hiveminds and Machine Intelligence empires since the _"Impose Ideology"_ war goal doesn't work at with normal empires. Against Devouring Swarms, Determined Exterminators and other total war empires they still have the _"End Threat"_ Casus Belli.
Your full Stellaris playthroughs are, without fail, a delight to watch. It's really a shame that the algorithm doesn't like them... I doubt it'll happen, but I really do hope that it'll be changed eventually so you can keep producing brilliant content without suffering for it!
@Lathland This may be your best Stellaris play through yet. The joy with which you ravished the galaxy like some horrific Lovecraftian elder god just shines right through. It's like you didn't fight the endgame crisis, you were the endgame crisis all along. Stellaris should make The Infection another endgame crisis.
I'm very very happy. I'm watching more of the video, and I'm only getting happier. Today is setting up to be a good day. Or at least one I don't care about being bad
Hi. I really love the mod. I was playing around with the new features and maybe a find an original way to use the Overmind Origin, instead of some kind of parasitic infections, the Overmind can be something similar to the Combine, so we have telepathic leader who exploit local resources and population for their goals, whatever they are.
I just wanna say I love watching the full playthrough I watch a lot of youtube in the background while I play videogames and your videos I feel I can understand with out watching the screen as much and so these longer videos mean more laughing in at your schemes
Lathrix keep these long videos coming!!! I love the good old days of TH-cam where peeps uploaded 30min+ vids, you got to actually sit down amd watch some stuff vs the current 10-15min tops and nownu need to find a new vid... so please keep these long videos coming!!!! Please
I love the longer videos, I also love your mispronunciations, though if I recorded I'm sure I'd do worse. Hope you keep doing these, I like watching in one sitting, or just listen while I'm playing stellaris.
Well i'm impressed, my computer usually starts to give up around 2k population, yours looks to have held out until 6k. That mod looks crazy, i might have to download it. I agree that the hive minds need better ascension options. They are powerful, but very similar to one another. Stellaris is definitely a series i want to see continued! :)
Yah right after I finished my Japanese class you posted a video I always enjoy. Thanks for your videos they are very enjoyable and makes my day better when you post them.
This looks really cool, The organic structures civic is one I really want to play with myself. I have some suggestions for mods for the future too: this is another Hive Mind mod!

This is a comment to help Lathrix attain food and shelter. Love your content as always, this was a really enjoyable video and I'm glad to see Stellaris staying on the channel. Take care and thanks for the video!
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees I love this empire so much! Whenever I discovered this game I always wanted to play a Zerg like empire where I just eat everything and have organic buildings and ships.
The movie scared me to death many years ago. I was sitting among friends who were both younger AND much more worldly in a theater near Chicago. Everyone liked me a lot so they insisted that I sit in the middle and hold the huge popcorn. The very FIRST jump scare in the movie, I whooped, and threw the popcorn, in it's entirety, straight up into the air, it rained down on the 5 of us and all the people around us, and the bucket wound up on one of my best friends' heads. Seeing the same idea as a mod for one of my favorite games is... enjoyable.
Lathrix my man i totaling love these long videos. I watch these things live watching a full length movie and it stelaris, which happens to be my favorite game. PLEASE don't stop making these.
I love having long videos that I can just lie back and drift through for extended periods of time, even multiple days if I have a particularly busy schedule! So I have been suffering somewhat by the standards of the TH-cam algorithm. But therefore I also love your videos even beyond just their outstanding quality and comedy! So of course I will gladly like and comment whenever possible to show what support I can :)
Hey lath. Love the video, and just wanted to share something I noticed. I’m pretty sure subjects don’t get ai bonuses. Believe the game counts them as the player and they get no bonuses
I’ve seen Aspec covering this mod, i really need to try it when i get my pc fixed this week (need a new cpu which I’m getting tomorrow, also new ssd). Might I suggest you look up another mod on steam, which i think will compliment this mod perfectly: the Animated Xenomorphs species pack, literally Xenomorph portraits (that are animated), they have their own civics, city set, ship set (looks really cool), animated xenomorph portraits, and several origins, each of which starting you off on a different homeworld type.
Rewatching the video that got me into 40k... Just the little random part about Slanesh was all it took to fall into the deepest tabbit hole of my life. Love it
Also, technically a hollowed world with a planetary shield should be immune to orbital bombardment. -50% + -50%. I haven't tested this yet though. Like so lathrix sees, poor scourge. what are they supposed to do against that?
I play that portrait as the late-stage result of the Dimensional Horror, basically the answer to "what happens if the DH emerges in a black hole system with a habitable Tomb World on it?" I ofc proceed to assimilate all organic matter in the galaxy into my horrific, extra-dimensional self. Good on you for manning up and force-spawning the Unbidden btw. They really should let you set/skew the likelihood of a certain crisis showing up or outright ban one of them.
Disgusting and amazing all in one, absolutely entertaining. I don't play any Stellaris, but these runs where you cut around and explain things are so good. Very enjoyable. Normally I don't like following the bad guys, but when it's so obscenely over the top, it becomes truly hilarious. And a 'benevolent' ending, too!
Yay Watching your stellaris videos is like watching sci-fi space films except the horrifying alien species always win And the videos always turn out to be nearly as long as full length films anyway Thank you
I watch all your videos, obviously do what’s best for u man but u the reason I play this game and I use it as therapy. Spent all day just watching your play throughs. Keep up the good work, there’s a lot of people that don’t comment but feel the same way.
After the first video showcasing this mod went public I began a playthrough using this mod Oh mama it is super fun! Thanks Lath and great video as always
I honestly am unable to understand what Lathrix said about him becoming insain throughout the video. All I see is someone enjoying a video game. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I SUBSCRIBED FOR!!!
I love how he understands that this kind of video isn't good for profit but makes them anyways. I have thought about what it is like to be a streamer and the big negative I have always seen is that you have to play what you watchers wanna see. So i have the most respect for lathland for do what he wants.
Love your vids. Id always wanted a game like this but never knew it existed till i seen your vids a while back. Thanks for opening my eyes and keep up making these amazing videos
Great that you are still doing these video's. Absolutely love them, hope you can keep it up eventhough they might not be whats financially best for your channel! Great stuff!
Hey Lathrix! I’ve only known about your channel for a couple days but I love all your stellaris content! Its nice to be able to enjoy super long videos like this and it sucks that the YT algorithm doesn’t like how long they are.
True, but surgical strikes don't normally reduce your damage and speed to 50% whilst also placing your forces not in the best position to begin with. There are levels of surgical strikes, this was at the bottom! ^^
I just imagine that poor machine uprising being able to fight off a small reinforcement group of like, a half dozen ships, only to have their prospects completely crushed when the real “Auxiliary fleet” arrives properly, like the ‘Slipspace rupture detected! Slipspace rupture detected! Slipspace rupture detected!“ thing from Halo, and utterly destroys them without taking any damage.
"It is insane how fast our population is growing" Lathrix says while having 6 empires' worth of pop growth, per year.
Damn, they be having very short gestation periods
@@twoscarabsintheswarm9055 well you gotta remember how insect queens produce (moar food = more larvae = more population)

Thank you for making this video Lath, you are the light of my day. Imma watch it while eating my sandwich, I"m 100% it won't be gross at all
Hey Lathrix! I’ve only known about your channel for a couple days but I love all your stellaris content! Its nice to be able to enjoy super long videos like this and it sucks that the YT algorithm doesn’t like how long they are.
“That was so dumb!”
- that was the definition of a surgical strike, arguably one of the least dumb tactics in existence
True, but surgical strikes don't normally reduce your damage and speed to 50% whilst also placing your forces not in the best position to begin with. There are levels of surgical strikes, this was at the bottom! ^^
“Calculated costs”
- aka I totally meant to do that
"I'll get crazy about 10 minutes in," Lath, you said that *just after* you went crazy
YES! I knew you’d do this full play through and i’m STOKED!!😁😁
Loyal tributaries just experience empire-wide Stockholm syndrome.
Best Stellaris videos, Lath! Watched more than played the game at this point.
I'm somewhat reminded of the Legacy Fleet stories about the Swarm that wants to make the entire Universe their "Friends".
By this point I am sure that Lathrix is the endgame crisis and just such a good guy that they come to work early.
I just imagine that poor machine uprising being able to fight off a small reinforcement group of like, a half dozen ships, only to have their prospects completely crushed when the real “Auxiliary fleet” arrives properly, like the ‘Slipspace rupture detected! Slipspace rupture detected! Slipspace rupture detected!“ thing from Halo, and utterly destroys them without taking any damage.
thank you very much for making these. They somehow really help me in this weird time. :)
Man, I LOVE this kind of videos, I prefer them to ANYTHING alse.
Keep making them, please.
I love these full gameplay vids! Keep up the amazing work man :)
Personally I love longer videos, alternative to watching a movie. Thanks for making these.
Amazing Vid. Just watched it completely - love it full playthroughs. Thank u rly much
Awesome. So worth waiting for. Keep on posting these stellaris videos please.
When you use planet diversity, start on a superhabitable world. The first game I did, it was a size 29. Its overpowered.
Love this format. And love all of your videos man.
Keep up the awesome work
Crazy how this civic basically preempted the entire Necroids DLC
Never change keep doing what you like we all love watching your crazy ness
I waited this run so long! Thank you Lath, in was interesting to watch:)
This is definately a critical mod ever since the first time i installed it. It's only gotten better and better. They keep improving it.
This is how I prefer to consume content too! Keep the long-form videos coming!
