Quick reminder : a "pop" in Stellaris isn't a single person, but a group of several millions at the very least. So after callously betraying his sworn allies, Spiff slaughtered hundreds of thousands of civilians in orbital bombardments before imposing a totalitarian militaristic regime upon the survivors. If you listen closely enough, you can hear the developers frantically installing a "revolt" mechanic to punish such behavior. That, or perhaps a malus to reputation with every civ you encounter afterwards who learn of your bloodthirsty, treacherous ways.

yes, but i noticed that all the seemingly "overpowered" starts require a specific approach. Shattered Ring has some mineral problems; the Interloper site they give you to mine is just not enough to maintain it. With Hegemon, it's easy to be overtaken as President early on, and while you're playing catch up the new president removes their term limits. Then you waste a lot of the early to mid game seceding and re-conquering them as vassals like our boy here didn't waste any time doing. The only easy-mode start that doesn't seem to have too many drawbacks is Scion, until it's time to throw off the yoke- but you can easily deal with everyone else first and then go after your Paragon FE or hope things go wrong for them in the endgame

All that is left is add regional focus trees akin to chinese shared one to South America(and ability to disable them completly) and Middle East and we're golden. There's basically no more possible non-alternate history content left to add. So they'd milk those two dry because people will buy them. Stellaris however is a complete content sink. There is no limit apart from engine and copyright ones to the amount of content that can be added. So it's not the same. I hope they'd focus on Imperator more though to justify its existence.

It's considered an exploit as you're not really meant to start with a federation only to immediately make them build tall so you can invade them a year later

i love how the science system is basically exponential until you reach the point where it's all repeatable techs so if you get an early lead in science production youve basically already won

Wow absolutely ruthless. Loved it, well done!

Unless the buffed it in Federation, even if you give thousands of pops to end of the cycle, it's pitifully weak. A tiny fleet can defeat the "end game crisis". The only cool thing, is you can trigger it in multiplayer, but the chances of getting it are utterly insignificant.

@@margaritakouzi5630 Exactly, it's genius. Give Spiff a key long before the games going to be released so you can just watch the video and fix any exploits he points out. Most games i've been in early access for or gotten closed beta/alpha keys for back when i was a game tester they literally tell you to try to go out of your way to break the game as much as you can. That's the point. Though it seems the term 'beta test' or 'early access' has lost almost all of it's original meaning to the majority of gamers and game companies these days.

You can also kick one of them from the federation before you leave, making the two fight separately

As always ! A perfect video

Before the injection of tea into the brain stem, and a lovely hot cup of tea: “Dam I like this coffee” After the tea: “We must irradiate all coffee traitors of the Grand British Empire. For the tea! And I guess the Queen as well as she exist, but.... TEEEEEEEEAAAAAA!”

The minute pause at the end is just symbolism of how the Spiffing Brit leaves no games, or galaxies, unbroken in his glorious wake.

Finally got some yorkshire tea can watch awesome video now

Thank you so much for your fun gameplay. Damn it you spiffy god (bless the queen)

Spiff used the origin not the intended way what is cool and all, but this is not much more op then simply rush your two neighbors or in the other end of the spectrum ignore the navy and colonize 10-15 planets as gestalt as fast as possible. Cool strat but not an exploit.

Kinda what I was thinking... Any Driven Assimilator would outclass this 'exploit' in less time via consuming the two closest neighbors anyway... Hive minds can out-populate it in just as short a time, and honestly, If you don't have a 30k+ lead on the AI in _whatever game you're playing,_ you're a bad Human. Still, I always love the _approach_ he has to just playing well, like it's some _arcane secret_ to be good at logi-sploiting a game!
