Blood for the blood god

"For as long as there have been civilizations, there was stone. The first friend of all civilized intelligences, the first and most important foundation of all things important and necessary. Pity, that the sapients never see that the very stones they rely on can betray them. Time, even when crystalized like the crystal dew of the dark metal webs of our home, always go forward. As time goes on, stone withers and erodes...as time goes on, the dust of withered stone turn into new stone. As time goes on, the new stone stirs...and as new stone stirs, so too, does time stir. But stone, old or new, never hates...only understands, and pities. All come from the dust of their world, and to dust all return. And from dust come new stone...forevermore."

Actually that's the backstory for my own current necrophage playthrough. For the backstory I'm doing an earth-gone-wrong scenario where a slug that was present for the Trinity test during the Manhattan Project was granted strange abilities and so crawled into the scientists ear and ate their brain, taking over the body. This is actually the first time I've played the game using the Sol system as my starting point. Additionally, I got the Horizon Signal, so now it's a crapload of tomb worlds, and I just turned Venus into an Ecumenopolis. I went with the "Manhattan Hierarchy" for the name. Enjoy your slug based nightmare tonight. You're welcome.

Most people tend to play the game in a bunch of phases. Phase 1, grab territory. Phase 2, Make an economy. Phase 3, make a fleet and go to war. That sort of approach is good but it's not ideal. It's much better if you manage everything side by side, so you're grabbing territory, building economy and fleet at the same time which means you can essentially play it by ear and build resources which you're lacking long before you're actually lacking them.

He actually does not have many fleets, they are just upgraded out of the wazoo and that gives them more fleet power than they deserve. There's no way you could do anything with 1330 naval capacity in 2360 otherwise. But honestly, I'm amazed myself how with something like 15 alloys/month he can build 20k fleets in early game. Buying them from the market will drive the price bonkers.

"Not completely parasitic" That's a compliment I would give my ex.

33:36 This is actually a feature that gets turned on with researching Glandular Acclimation. Before you have that tech, you just get your necrophage species' normal habitability, after it, each ascended pop has a habitability preference for the world they were ascended in.

FYI, dont synthetically ascend. It breaks the necrophage mechanic.

@@maskedcucco4576 I see others answered and I dont know if the buildings become completely unusable but just thinking about it, you would no longer have a necrophage species after becoming synthetic, you lose the trait if I recall. And you no longer have the feeder species as they are synthetic as well. Even if you managed to get some pops through migration or some trick, the growth would be so slow at that point that after ten years all pops would go to your necrophage species, which would then assimilate. And I doubt that would be worth it. But it would be cool if only the main species assimilated and you kept all of the lesser races. Like it disabled building your main species from assembly plants and those kept only building robots. It would be unique and possibly a way t play synthetic that wasnt as op.

This set up allows the creation of the perfect leaders. I can finally control the population of my primary species and create the perfect cast system.

Really love these long format videos! Keep 'em coming

Love this content, love that you love making it. Keep it coming : )

Lath, I love your videos, I love watching them while I play Stellaris! Thanks for making them!

I love this long game short format by the way, it's just so enjoyable to watch

I love watching your Stellaris videos so much. And I really enjoyed this one. Thanks!

YAS!! Actually got real excited when I saw this in my subs feed. Your Stellaris vids are excellent, and always make my day. :)

I love that you're doing these big playthroughs, it must take you ages and a lot of dedication to have learned the game to the extent you have. Here, have a comment and a like on your video to show that I would like to see more of these Stellaris videos from you, Lathrix.

Lathland: You silly people! Empire that was friendly: Alright now that hurt >:(

Good stuff, love these videos. I had a go with this build on release day and had some issues until I had robot plants.

Love your videos Lathland! Keep up the great work, and stay safe.

One empire trait that I have found to go great with necrophage is being a barbaric despoiler. build up your empires pops by raiding so that you grow and everyone else is in a constant state stagnation.

I fall asleep listening to your stellaris content. It's so chill while still being interesting enough to keep me listening. Thanks man!!!

Thank you for all your hard work!

Commenting for the algorithm once again. Love these full playthroughs, amazingly therapeutic and relaxing!

Your stellaris vids are the reason i subscribe to your channel. I always look forward to more of them.

It's always awesome to watch these videos! So many nice ways to play I didn't think were really possible and proven wrong each time... With necrophage I wasn't even able to get a satisfying build going for me, but the xenophobe ethic really makes so much sense

Fantastic video, love the full playthroughs

Been looking foward to this!

Really liking these videos!

Love the videos, love the content! Keep up the great work.

I'm always happy to see these videos.

really love your video style. keep at it.

My head-canon for my playthrough was the slave race was mostly allowed to live their "first life" normally and then got to live a longer "Second life" as a living memory crystal. It was considered an honor.

I love what you do! Thank you for being you

Didn't have this shown to me until right now, which is strange considering these are some of the few videos I actually watch all the way through.

Floofy rocks. Awesome. And the eat your brains to convert you into themselves. Even better. And even better again, it's a lathrix full playthrough video, the best kind of video. I will watch all the ads all the way through, just in case it helps someone somewhere.

You finishing off the gray tempest so quick like that was disgustingly beautiful to watch..

Love seeing more stellaris!!

love these videos!

Just got notified! First time I used notifications

i love your stuff man

DAMNIT ALGORITHM, why did it take two whole days for me to find this video??!! I've been waiting for this!

To be honest I didn't thought this would be so engaging till I was nearly at the end of the video and saw on the timer that this video was 1 hour long. This truly surprised me and I enjoyed it.

These Frankensteined thumbnails just keep jetting better! Keep it up Lath.

I don't even play Stellaris anymore but I enjoy your videos about it a lot.

I had the idea of a species so technologically advanced, they made like a super star, triple the size of the largest recorded, and built their ENTIRE civilization around it. It’s got giant ass claws and portals to grab planets and feed it to the sun

Yaass i love these! And you get extra watch time outta me cause I usually end up replaying them like six times because I always fall asleep and then have to rewatch it to find out what happened. xD (Falling asleep during the vid is a compliment, btw. I have insomnia and your vids are chill enough to distract my brain and let me drop off).

Yay! New Lathrix Video!

I know this took you forever, but I love it.

An easy way to set things up with Nerve-Stapled Jeffs is to have Spiders as Leaders, Jeffs NerveStapled as Workers, and then DroidBots as Specialists. You can specialize each type and keep everything orderly and double-dip on growth with Jeffs and building Droids

Can you imagine how depressing there city’s will be towers of stuff owned by stolen people

The Raiding stance is actually so powerful with necrophages that I actually took Barbaric Despoilers as a Civic. Stole three HUNDRED pops off someone during a war the other day. It was my vassilization targets ally, and I needed something to do while waiting for my wargoal score to tick positive. My unemployment went through the roof. Just have to remember to wait to set them to undesirable until after you're done raiding, as anything set to undesirable just gets killed instead of stolen. I hope they adjust that with the raiding stance.

Praise be the Lathrix, may it help your fight against the youtube algorithm.

Looking forward to the next part.

Thanks for that nightmare back story. I hate it. Won’t sleep now.
