im hoping they add a new ending which is a diffrent non cosmogensisi way to contact the GIF to join them and call for help agasint the blokkats. by building a supergate for them basically like a "good" guy version of the diplomatic path in the blokat crisis.
If "Become the Crisis" perk with its totally devastating ending gave me gnostic vibes, like: _"Life sucks because our entire universe is one unending suffering, so we must destroy everything to annihilate all life in the material universe, free all souls from shackles of matter and return them to Pleroma!"_ The "Profundum/Deep Shroud" event from this video would give me ultra-gnostic vibes: _"All multiverse is pointless and painful, we need to end everything by messing with the interdimensionality!"_
and yet most ironically they become like yaldaboath foolish pridefull beings thinking themselves the first at there "divine" task above all other entities. when in reality they merely become the deluded parts of a greater existence the end of all things while thinking they are what created and comprise it.
I have my own theory the class 30 singularity is not a specific technology nor a specific capability but rather a understanding of things that they shouldn't asssuming the ren marru was not in itself a class 30 singularity they may have foresaw that a civilization would threaten to reach an understanding of things even the ren may not understand because every species is different they approach problems differently so its not unlikely a species that grows to rival the universal understanding of the ren marry shows up abd to preserve their own power they made the contingency in essence the ren marru are not good they are in fact the enemy
Additionally the shorud is likely not considered the universe understanding knowledge as that would have resulted in the zroni fighting the contingency so it is likely simply a level where a civilization begins to understand too much about the fabric of the universe itself and possibly may gain the capability to make its own universes or conquer its home universe
I absolutely adore the Gigastructures mod, literally my favorite Stellaris mod of all time, but does anyone find the idea of "The Intergalactic federation" a bit uh... lame? Dunno, something about the concept just rubs me the wrong way... The writing is good at least. Gotta appreciate how Giga commits to their ridiculous scales.
@@TheRedKing I know but I just wish to see you become very successful because as I said before you make very good content, and secondly you are the main reason I am now interested in Stellaris both lore and gameplay, so thank you and keep up the good work! (Sorry for having bad grammar I might be a little slow if you know what I mean)
Ending 4 leaves me with a frightening conclusion: The cosmo empire either enters a pact with the End of the Cycle, or as I like to believe *actually becomes the End of the Cycle by diving too deep into the Profundum* . Because the End of the Cycle actually is omnipotent in terms of space and time and therefore has no time or place of birth specifically, diving into the Profundum is actually the event that caused the cosmo empire to become the End of the Cycle, therefore creating a multiversal equivalent of a predestination paradox. "They thought it was not yet our time, but now it shall be" - Cosmo empire. "It is not yet your time, but it could be" - The End of the Cycle.
Compared to the original games shroud patron endings for Cosmogenesis, you also become sort of part of the Patron It seems that it's less so a creation to End of the Cycle, more so that you becoming part of it In a sense, you have become omnipotent gods Ofc more wacky theories could be like The End of the Cycle could be "born" from *every single empire that are like Ending 4*, it is all of them from all space time continuum, it's all their existence that creates the being that permeates through the shroud
I had the AI uprising end a game for me once. All the robotic populations rose up and destroyed half my empire in a single month. Which was unfortunate, since I never even had a single robot in the entirety of my empire. Where did they even come from?
This is my favourite video on the channel, its not like the others, appreciate the story, its something nice to just turn off and listen to Enjoy a good part of the storytelling but also the civilisational development and industry
I'd love to think Hunters are just a regular empire that took either Cosmogenesis or Galactic Crisis ascension. When the Aetherophasic engine in the Hunter galaxy is activated, the "Hole in the Void" event kicks in.
The Blokkats are so ridiculous. Even the design of their ships is pathetic. And "Blokkunstruct"?!? Seriously? 🙄 Thanks God I always turn off they and any other one of those boring Fallen Empires from the Gigastructural Engineering.
@@DavidHughey-xu2ce WTF are you talking about? I simply hate the art used on them. Also, I think that the Fallen Empires already available in Stellaris are problematic enough.
@@LenzuMk I simply don't have any need of such ridiculous and overpowered Fallen Empires in my gameplay. I find megastructures like Birch Worlds or this ridiculous "blokkunstruct" overpowered and unnecessary. Sci-fi don't needs to be unrealistic to be fun -- a healthy dose of realism is a good spice for any good sci-fi story.
The galaxy: what are they doing? The Aeternum: what are they doing? The compound: what're they doing? The unbidden: the fu-? The contingency: calculating probability of organics having gone insane... The Prethoryn scourge: what the? The curators: ... ok, gonna have to put that in the history books... The blokkats: wh-what are they doing!? The cosmo genesis empire: PARADISE! HERE WE COOOMMMMEE!!!
Finally some lore for the game ‘The Colonists’, I did wonder why the robots rocked up only to just build statues. They’re building it for the ‘animator of clay’.
On a surface level getting Eldritch'd seems like the most desirable outcome, but considering the FSAE's warning I wonder if they know about civ's attempting this before and know it doesn't actually end well, or something.
the end of the cycle wants to destroying everying in the cycle aka the contained stellaris multiverse in order to stop the cycle of multiversal death and rebirth/ known as the cycle to them and "new game" and "delete game" to us as the atom shredder the player. so the blokkats and federation dont want species to become part of it as they then threaten all of existence that is not them.
Would be cool if there were endings when crisis empire dives into a ''new'' black holes (created by fusion supressor or by those cubes) and joke endings when they try to dive into kugelblitzes, quasars or white hole
That was pretty good. Sounds like Gigastructural Engineering nearly made the Blokkats into a force nearly as powerful as the Xeelee or the Great Houses of Faction Paradox in some of the realities becoming a universal powerhouse along with the faction that battled a huge fleet of theirs. I like to picture multiple Gargantuan Quasarcrafts outside the galaxy's radius fighting the Blokkat fleets in the void between galaxies. I hope Ancient Cache of Technologies gets updated to keep up with this dlc. I sure like to see more Stellarborne and Omegan interactions and detailed lore.
@@thorshammer7883 I wouldn’t say that the Blokkats are that strong because while they’re multiversal threats they’re still causal - I.e. they still have to exist within linear time. While time travel exists in the Giga-verse it’s the “you can’t change the future” kind. Meanwhile the Xeele are paracausal - I.e. they don’t give a shit about time. So if the Blokkats showed up to them they’d just go back in time and retcon the Kats from ever existing.
Acot has already been updated, and even has dedicated content with cosmogenesis. There are not, however, any interactions between cosmogenesis and the omegans/stellarborne, simply because lorewise it wouldn't make sense for there to be any
@@taelim6599 That's a pity. I heard there is a lot of lore of the Stellarborne and their monotheistic deity who stand oppose to some dark threat more powerful then any Shroud entity.
@@Shwethway98 Wait isn't the Xeelee verse the same thing? The Interim Coalition of Governance aren't able to change history and just created another timeline.
I loved this! Can you please do a video going in depth on the GIS. I am curious if you join them do you continue playing stellaris normally in a new area or is it storyline/lore?
DM: "An ethereal, golden being stands before you. it says 'Welcome heroes, my name i-'" That one player: "I punch it." DM: "wha? wh-" player: "I PUNCH IT!" DM: [exhasperated sigh] "roll up a new character." player: [surprised pikachu.]
Yo red, nice to see you keeping up the good work, btw question, will you ever cover the sirens? They are part of the April folks update to gigastructural engineering
I like how with each new Stellaris dlc, the lore of mods also grow and are expanded on. Now, I'm excited to learn of these new Galatic empires and Federations. Its cool to learn that the Blokkat are at war with others that are actually on their level, I wonder how long and deep the history of these Galatic powers goes.
You can learn more about them by completing the book protocols (you get to become blokats (blokification and they tell you more about the grand intergalactic federation.
