What about Greyman? Grey is paragon too. Scrand had titan-class ship, had not he?

I started the game optimistic about all of them, and unlocked Dementor first. Sadly, he died in an explosion while studying an anomaly.
Grey is also now a legendary paragorn, it has quite impressive governor traits for the council.
I love how you manage to connect the dots between one plot point and another. I totally missed the possibility of Skrand and his people being attacked by the Unbidden

The moment I heard him mention “Faceless beings” I instantly thought of the unbidden :p
Dam, that Keides arc really got to me. I mean, imagine learning all that about your species and being the last of your kind.

Sometimes when playing the game, you start to only see the numbers and functions; it's almost hard to force yourself to read flavor. That's what makes these so great.

I like it either way. I feel the text approach feels like from soft games story telling through item texts
If the Beholder truly can transform a species into one capable to manipulate the Shroud, they'll inevitably end the universe, because every Shroud powered phenomena you create enlarges every present black hole.

@Very_Bad_Dragon I believe the most likely event for that is someone becoming the Crisis and building the Aetherophasic Engine.
Really interest to see how The Beholder differs when the population is already psionic. Can't wait to find it and test that.
It's truly amazing to me that Paradox is still updating the game and is also so active in the community with sponsorships and everything. Love your videos, keep it up!

Thank you!! Yes I tend to agree, i've often viewed DLCs a bit like a subscription cost and you just pay to support the development of the game. It's great to see that development continues, it's a wildly different game to how it was back in 2016
For some reason, the lore of the Paragons-with Red King's immersive narration-makes me tear up. Bittersweet and makes you longing for more. You're awesome, King!

I don't even play Stellaris but I absolutely enjoy Red King's lore videos. Many thanks !! Have fun.
Me in my mind when I come across sharpbeak’s race: “Oh no their hot!” May my hours in mass effect get me a tall military space bird GF. …ahem… Now on a more serious note, I would totally be down to being the head researcher that practically live on there ship with them to study them and record their race’s history. I hope when you brought up cloning sharpbeak’s race, you actually start growing pops of them in the player’s empire, I’d be quite sad seeing this race go extinct.
I hope that this dlc is as awesome as I think it is

That Avian paragon totally had some drip! 👌😎. Exakeides really similar to house Atreides, Exakeides! Exakeides! ✊✊✊. 35:08 Hesitations is Defeat! The Beholder kind of reminds of The Witness ships from Destiny 2 and also the name 🤣
If I go psionic route, I always makes sure that if I have keides or sharpbeak, I always make them chosen. Just to make sure they are with me forever 😅 never got the plant lady or obelisk tho.

Kai is not a "legendary" she's just a regular old renowned :) you'll find out about her in the next video
It seems that Azaryn learned from Isshin Ashina because she knows that hesitation is defeat. Maybe that's why she was disappointed when you said that you wouldn't take another life to save your own. She wanted you to say yes because you would do well to kill without hesitation. Or maybe she's just a pacifist, but that seems boring compared to my idea.

"for use on 3 tomb worlds devoid of life" sounds like some necron stuff's about to happen.

I'm late to the party,and haven't played Stellaris in years, but I apparently still know how Paradox writes. My thoughts when listening to Skrand's story veered towards "are they going to settle them somewhere? Keep them on the ship? $5 says they didn't screen for diseases." And, lo and behold..

My fellow lords, we are gathered here again for another banger video
Man I didnt add this to my collection yet because Paradox decided the latest DLC for Crusader Kings 3 should be $29.99. I bought it. But this does not set a good precedent for the future. $30 for a DLC? Paradox is losing sight of the path for the greed. I also heard this DLC divided the community. Some say the bonuses and new system is cool. But most say the 7 leader cap and the fact you need to waste about 4 of them for your council and use the remaining for governors, scientists, and admirals. Oh! And sector governors no longer apply! Now you need a governor for each planet. I hope the cap goes much higher than 7.
@TheRedKing
Жыл бұрын
My personal point of view regarding the cap is that it's fine; I think people forget you don't NEED a gov. on each planet and it does create an interesting balance when it comes to including Admirals. You now have to decide between Gov. boosting eco leaders, or military admirals. I quite like the choice personally. You can increase the cap to 11? I think with civics/traditions etc. and you can go over the cap similar to a starbase cap if you can afford it. Regarding the pricing of DLCs ultimately people vote with their wallets, if the price is to high or the quality not good enough then make the choice not to buy it. I tend to view it a bit like a subscription cost, (I played WoW for years) so i don't mind paying $20 every 4 months or so if that's the price of them continuing to develop the game. I appreicate that it's not for everyone though.

I recommend using a bigger galaxy mod that increase the amount of star systems, i am currently playing a modded game with the mods stated and a 2000 star system galaxy, one of them is real space mod 3.8 and various graphics/scaling mods that enhance/overhaul the graphics and planet diversity immensely. The base game is very lacking in realistic solar system and galaxy graphics i prefer realistic sci-fi and and thus extremely dislike Star Trek or Doctor Who, arguably bad sci-fi both and both are very boring
