Stellaris Virtual Fallen Empire Rush

Stellaris The Machine Age will allow us to become virtual gods and then ascend to take the power of a Fallen Empire. There is only one thing that could challenge us... The Mommyssiah.

Lets dive in!

spiritualist machines : let's outlaw ourselves by taking away Full AI rights

You know, as someone who bought Stellaris at launch, watching the development of the game over its lifespan has been a Hell of a ride.

So basically, don’t fall for the the crisis hook line and sinker when she hangs a carrot on a stick over your head or you’ll be turned into a vegetable

[anangrygamer]

Imagine as a fallen empire being around for thousands of years only for another empire barely a hundred years old to easily outpace you militarily and even technologically with some weird computer they invented lol

"And they were one month from retirement!"

[Balkken]

Couldn't help but notice the name Zarqlan mentioned in one of the Cetana events. Head of Zarqlan is the relic that makes you buddies with the spiritualist fallen empire. Interesting to see if there's more to that connection.

That fact that with virtual ascension Clerks not only provide trade value (which isn't affected with the resource output bonus/penalty) but also provides a job output bonus seems to mean that with enough clerks, even if you're at the full -75% penalty, you could brute force your way into negating it. Also, using the Utopian Abundance living standard as pseudo-scientists sounds brilliant. This whole build was just great to watch.

I had to explain to my friend who doesn't play Stellaris and doesn't know 40K lore why I was laughing when I heard you first refer to Cetana as "Mommysiah."

[SunPraiser]

I love how spiritualist viruality with utopian abundance basically lets you treat bio pops like you’re a rogue servitor without being a rogue servitor.

[TheMorninGlory]

I can't believe Cetana erased your minds with 1 month left! What an ending lol.

This video is proof Montu is an enemy of humanity.

He plays the new DLC before it's even out, taunting us.

To war!

[RimWorldRimmer]

Geez Montu, you swept into 3 planets taking everything and left. The worlds just desolate of any life and left for them to return to an empty planet

[TheIncredibleTurk]

Thats the goddamn greatest stellaris playthrough video ever.
Mindblowing.

"Tall" is the new wide confirmed.

[ObiwanNekody]

Not sure if you can do this as a virtual crisis, but when I'm doing a Sovereign Guardian Egalitarian Smash and Grab on pops, I usually use the trade dialogue to give them the planet back with a single pop on it. It saves on influence and lets them build more pops for me to liberate from their oppressive societies.

[TheMorninGlory]

Jesus Christ that virtual focus policy LOL

[gurrspar]

This honestly looks like the best update / expansion in a long time, possibly ever? I especially like how the new crisis is a bit more complicated than just a bunch of big enemy fleets with a faction screen attached and a few cursory events. It's also nice seeing them develop stellaris' own lore a bit, with Zarqlan's cameo and all

[Nihoolious]

Finally after all these years, non hiveminded machines! Cant wait to try a Trazyn the Infinite style build, stealing pops and adding them to his collection.

[Adidas_der_schwanger_war]

I am imagining multiplayer matches with vast areas of the galaxy unclaimed because everyone has a 4-5 system virtual empire

[Teyloune]

That was a lot of fun to watch!

Overall, it was a very interesting way to play the game, and those research numbers made me laugh way too hard - truly research beyond reason. I really enjoyed the close ending, and it's good to know that the galaxy just goes "pop" when Cetana wins. That helped me adjust my expectations and how I might approach this. Can't just sit back and ignore her.
