@@devinnie7572 It is pretty fun, and there are a few ways to play it - you can either sim up your empire and then just watch the 'younger races' and see what they do, or act as a kind of guide to them by immediately proposing subjugation as they reach ftl/uplifting them all yourself. In either case, I strongly recommend you subjugate the first primitives to become empires and set the terms to expansion prohibited until you've got the pre-ftl laws and at least moderate sanctions passed in the galactic community, or you tend to just end up watching the first AI to reach ftl gobble up (and often invade and enslave) the primitives. The easiest way to get the laws passed ASAP is to release 2-3 single system sectors as vassals with expansion prohibited early on, instead of waiting for pre-ftl's to grow up.

my first encounter with them was very peaceful because the wormhole to their cluster was somehow wedged behind the fallen empire so they couldn't really do much and i could properly gauge the situation and prepare for a war of that scale.

The Chosen completed my latest run's ascension to Galactic Emperor by declaring them a Crisis. Then I colonized the Ophala system, purged the pops, and made it the crown jewel and seat of my empire.

Their little star cluster makes for an excellent "plan C" (the L cluster being plan B) in case of a Crisis getting out of hand. You can use astral threads to lock down the wormhole and sit there safe with 3 Gaia worlds and a bunch of Habitats. I case something goes wrong there the final isolated system is "plan D" since you can only access it with jump drives. You can build a gateway there and have completely safe fallback point though with very limited resources apart from the Gaia world.

Same, I was getting synthetic uprising achievement. Expecting an easy run. Then Khan show up, decided to ignore my just successful uprising machine Empire. Why? Because the Chosen are fighting him. I use the opportunity to gear up. Thought I'm strong enough, and I want my Chair. So I killed Khan. Then Discovered Chosen were far Stronger then me on top of them going Full Crisis. I have no Choice but to use other Empires as bait. Since I'm the second Strongest, so Chosen saved me for the last. Then when the last Empire have only 1 system left, I have no Choice but to declare war on Chosen I'm only having 90k fleet while the Chosen are 200-300k fleets. Have to do gorilla warfare to attempt to end the first war. Not sure how I did it. But it worked. After that, encomic caught up and I destroyed them.

Thanks! I thought it mirrored the alarm claxons ringing quite nicely :)

I’ve encountered The Chosen a few times now and I’m surprised that they never seem to leave their extra-galactic cluster, they just declare war on me and sit there until I decide to deal with them. I suppose this makes sense considering that when they first contact the player, The Chosen state that they have been trying to figure out wormhole technology for years but they haven’t been able to make it work. This seems to indicate that they simply don’t yet have wormhole travel, but I’ve forgotten about them before and played hours into games without them ever leaving. Maybe they never develop wormhole travel? I appreciate that they’re in the game but it seems like their only function is to wait to be eradicated.

Your videos are pretty awesome man I’ve listened to every one while I’m at work lol. You should try and scrape together what info you can about the enigmatic cache and make a video about it! I don’t think I’ve ever heard you mention it.
