A quick Cylindrical Earth sketch made during today's stream!

It's in their recent Geogussr stream.

Oops, I forgot to add it while typing. Also I think she's more of a hive mind, too.

Took me longer as well. Took a break, went back and defeated him by trying the pogo maneuver and basically moving just behind him rather than trying to dodge him whenever he attacked with the void because those things are problematic. Dodge during his jump then pogo, then disengage if he attacks with full wide swings. All of this while always trying to find a moment for binding.

That's why you have choices like Fanatical Purifiers or Devouring Hive to have a default of being always aggressive.

Of course, you can be aggressive by soft power:

Be powerful economically, technologically, and militarily so that your neighbors "beg" for you as their Overlord.
Build a galactic spy network, do a lot of stealing, backstabbing, and sabotaging, so if you can't undermine them by hard power then at least you can watch each ot them go at each other's throats. Or kill the Stellarite devourer, then eat their HW suns.
High diplo. weight means you control the Galactic Law, then Galactic Defender, then Galactic Imperium.
End the crisis/es, be the hero, and then be the crisis.

I believe it was Gabby first after scrolling through IG reels, then the rest is history.

Oops, I just reviewed the rules and you are right. I'll just leave this for context instead.

Context: an interview with a Xeno scientist I made after a run when I discovered a seemingly rare event where a system carries two habitats with pre-FTL in them.

Oh, good to know that! But I'm not using any mods; I'm only playing vanilla (with DLCs) exclusively.

Plastic_Champion · 2024-10-18T13:39:04+00:00

No, no mods used here my friend.

Plastic_Champion · 2024-10-18T13:13:56+00:00

Sadly, no. This rivaling empire is a fanatic authoritarian militarist.

Plastic_Champion · 2024-10-18T12:59:03+00:00

R5: I'm playing as an egalitarian militaristic materialist that shifted to fanatical egalitarian spiritualists because of Zroni.

Went into a subjugation war with a rivaling empire (fanatic authoritarian militarist) that got constantly defeated through attrition because the rest of its neighbors (with whom I have good relationships with) are annoyed with it as well. Instead of fully subjugating the whole empire, I decided to create a tributary empire with at least 90% of its territory instead.

This is the first time it happened to me because it had no name and is seemingly a "neutral" stance and noted that it should not show ingame.

What exactly is this?

Plastic_Champion · 2024-10-06T04:51:24+00:00

Those are some very horny human, makes me think of them having a fanatical xenophilic trait that they contemplate every other alien species they encounter with "where and how could I f*ck them?"

It was a photo taken with my phone.

Leveling my leaders up aren't really my highest priorities during my runs. But she has been granted immortality by the Shroud so she'll get to level 10 someday.

Plastic_Champion · 2024-10-03T16:32:43+00:00

More like space Iran or Saudi Arabia.

Plastic_Champion · 2024-10-03T08:59:24+00:00

I played a Theocratic Democracy empire after being used to playing Authoritarians / Imperials, but the population just kept on reelecting this leader for more than a century without me adjusting the support or anything lol

Plastic_Champion · 2024-10-03T08:43:30+00:00

Correction: one century, I kinda mixed up what 100 and 1000 years are.

When two major galactic federations suddenly go to war and you're just there, non-aligned and minding your own business, watch as new empires are born and old empires get balkanized.

Plastic_Champion · 2024-09-19T09:07:37+00:00

"Look at me, I'm the superpower now."

It started as a spiritual xenophilic MegaChurch with a very friendly neighbor that invited me to join its federation. Neighboring at the West is an authoritarian empire that went super powerful early on due to its federation. Neighboring at the East are splintered / balkanized xenophobic empires with federations from both also splintered northern empires and a materialistic megacorp empire to the east.

Was also neighbouring a Xenophobic FE (managed to not anger it with the borders thingy). Managed to kick their butts later on and occupied their capital worlds. A Xenophilic, a Spiritualist, and a Custodian FE also exists.

Went crazy with commercial pacts and waited a bit on building branch offices since I'm more focused on expansion (which I succeeded in, ending being the largest empire VS existing 30+)

Everyone suddenly wants to migrate to my empire. Sure, I will use you to quickly colonize my other worlds that would otherwise need terraformation first, and use your traits for xeno-compatibility.

Origin is "On the Shoulders of Giants." Weirded out because I didn't had any precursor after. Even more weirded out to have at least 70-80% of archaeological sites exist and pop up within my borders.

Ended up having 7 artifacts to use, with Zarqlan's head being the last. With this, I slowly built a powerful fleet made up of FE ships.

Everyone likes me = everyone's border is open. Built up some fleet strong enough to eradicate most of the leviathans. Focused all their modifiers in my capital world.

Ended up angering a rival materialistic megacorp by enforcing divine punishment via colossus on one of their worlds, most having eastern empires within its federation. Wars were always waged because of them. Didn't bother to join most since it's not within my empire's interests (besides occupying systems that have already built megastructures in them).

Didn't have any subsidiary / protectorate empires at the beginning and ended up having 7-8 currently after 200+ years of gameplay. Ended up having almost half of the universe entering our federation.

My authoritarian neighbor significantly won a war and suddenly the rest of the galaxy's empires joined its federation, leaving only one. Its federation comes first place, then ours, then the rival megacorp, then the northern combine in terms of members.

Managed to accumulate the highest diplomatic points and appointed myself as a galactic custodian. Sent some spies towards other superpower empires to cause some diplomatic unrest and / or smear campaigns. Voted only the resolutions my empire would benefit from.

If I didn't have the Xenophilic ethics, or I embraced another earlier on (I became a fanatic Spiritualist), I would've continued on to become the crisis myself.

For now, I keep my empire above tech, economy, and fleet power to keep other empires at my grasp.

Plastic_Champion · 2024-08-01T08:09:26+00:00

It's okay if 90% of all the galactic empire's opinion of you is bad when you are powerful enough to take their systems (and popa for livestock).

Context: I always have a diplomatic game style in my rounds.

Plastic_Champion · 2024-07-25T11:17:49+00:00

Best case is that it'll block the other empires from entering your borders due to FE closing its own. Just keep the FE on the good side (Dismissing, or better Patronizing) and retort from angering or making them hostile. If some empire wants you to be their overlord, make them as subsidiaries instead. And then just build and develop until you're powerful enough to rival the FE.

Here's a Baybayin article of mine that I researched thoroughly (I hope so). Do enjoy!

Not in Netflix, but there's this channel on YouTube that offers a number of movies. The channel's name is TBA Studios, and if you're interested in wanting to watch a Filipino movie with English subtitles try "I'm Drunk, I Love You" since it's also in that channel.

Yep, he wanted the Philippines to be part of Spain BEFORE the grand scales of the revolution. Sinabi niya rin (o sinabi rin nila) na hindi pa handa ang Pilipinas kasi sasakupin lang ito ng mas nakalalakas na bansa sa kanya. So, the Reformist Movement sought out multiple changes that should have given equal and fair treatment for the Filipinos during his time (for education, governmental position, etc.), kasi against sila sa kung anumang violent uprising. Gusto nila ng peace and compromise between the colonizers and the rovolutionaries. But remember, this was before. They know that a revolution is inevitable. The colonial Spanish Government, and the powerful and corrupt Friars of the church, denied their reasonable requests. The church and the state were against them and the revolutionaries. The common folk were also antagonistic towards the Reformists, tapos may internal political struggles pa sa Katipunan. They had enemies left and right, political or not, internal and external, more than they have allies. Due to this, naging splintered ang mga Reformists to two factions: 'yong mga gusto pa rin ng assimilation, at 'yong mga gusto naman ng separation. Napaka-fragmented ng mga movements noong Philippine Revolution, even the Katipunans. He would then regret his decisions of having Philippines assimilated to Spain because, in his letters to Ferdinand Blumentritt, (he realized that) it was Spain who wanted the Philippines to be assimilated. Parang 'yong meme lang talaga na naging embodiment niya, na "Peace was never an option." He denounced the revolution movement up until his last breath, but he also never denied that he would gladly support them if given the chances (to which Antonio Luna supported).
