You missed a big benefit of wide - the ability to deny resources to your enemies. Every system and planet you have is one they can't have.

Best series btw. Ive been playing 100 hours or something now, but learning heaps from your videos.

And then there's Void Dwellers, fitting 20 colonies in 4 systems, being wide but tall at the same time

I always do both. Expand aggressively like a wide empire would, mostly neglect or automate my outer secrets then release all but the core sectors as vassals. The only sectors I’d add would be fallen empire territory or the L Cluster.

Wanted to give a quick announcement to the creator.

I believe you typed wrong at the list for tall at around the 4min. mark. It says wide instead of tall. Or i might just be reading it wrong, Ive been up all night. But I write it just in case. Good vid, makes it a lot easier to have someone proper explaining the difference between the two for someone whos new to stellaris.

Objectively, Wide is the stronger build, with a bunch of options available to dramatically reduce empire size by a massive amount. However, a few tall empires in the space of a single wide empire are able to output more resources and build larger fleets than that single wide empire. Ultimately, your value per pop is far greater, but you still have a lot less pops.

Tall so i don't get carpal tunnel from clicking the build plsnet 1000 times

It annoys me that megastructures are so important for tall empires, yet you need to expand rapidly to reliably find living metal.

Before watching this. My default play i guess is tall cuz i got boxed on early and only expanded by making one of my neighbors a subject and when they fell i took half their territory which helped lock my capital world

Would love to see a build for a tall empire with galactic paragon. 😀

[not_even_known_yet]

Before watching the Video, Clone Army tall is the most broken start ever.

[rufemairow]

And the most important thing - dont play grand admiral. It's not balanced right now

[flyingberserker]

Playing tall its bot worth now because whats gives you most empriire sprawl is pop, build9bg starbases doesnt add too much, what the logic of only colonize a few systems when you have to build habita or rings that gives you the sane penalties ?

Wide for spreading space racism tall for a galatic hero

[blackheart]

why does this sound like its 2x speed lol
