Stellaris | x25 CRISIS STRENGTH - FULL Playthrough!! Scion Origin Run! 

Over 50 hours of footage and many hours of editing, but here It finally Is! Hope you all enjoy, and remember to like the video If you did indeed like It as It helps out so so much with this type of content that can really cause issues for the channel's analytics! Also.. I think my mind broke a few times during the recording/editing of this..

"we could end this in the next few years!" - checks timestamp - 40 mins left - evil laugh -

"It's the perfect scientist! +10% research speed, +5, +10! That adds up to a number! And I wager it's more than 6!"

When I saw Paradox implement the 25x crisis this was my thought process *sees news* "Surely this is an April Fools prank" *it isn't* "Clearly this is to help modded players actually feel challenged" *Lath wins in vanilla* "I'm really bad at this game"

-"They liked our world so much they wanted to stay" -"Let's eat em"

Lathrix is asking for support at the start of the video and apologizing for it at the same time. Meanwhile he pours hours upon hours into creating great content for all of us. Thank you very, very much! So if a comment helps, I will definitely write a comment. I hope this convinces the RU-vid algorithm that Lathrix deserves the best!

As a new player: Explain this to me. Slowly. With lots of diagrams

"Crisis preppers" Lathrix, idk if you noticed but you were the end game crisis during the war in the heavens

Massive respect for editing and sharing this. You're a blessing to the community.

This is perhaps the least I've ever been annoyed for a request at likes/comment etc. Videos like this must be a crazy amount of work and 20 seconds of giving my 2 cents seems like a more than fair trade. Keep it up, keep healthy, stay frosty. :)

Prepper: We have the best choke points! Contingency: Hippity hoppity, your barren world is my property!

I couldn't imagine myself sitting and editing 50 hrs footage so you got a new sub and big respect from me for both the content quality and the commitment sir. I wish the best for all of us who are reading this btw.

Two and a half hours of refined Stellaris? Man, that's a whole movie.

I love that aliens stayed for festival of joy and were turned into livestock...

"We won't have much influence." Lathrix says, when he has the most diplomatic weight out of all the galactic community founders.

I think it's pretty awesome at how supportive this community is. I usally read the comments on his videos and they are mainly really supportive. You dont find this type of community everywhere. I thinks its amazing that so many people support this awesome man. It's truly heart warming to see.

Lath: makes a whole playthrough about having lithoids as livestock for minerals Also Lath: I just realized Lithoids as livestock produce minerals

found this video through a recommendation, watched the entirety of it, left a like & subbed instantly. amazing strategic skill & mad grit and perseverance is required to stay in a single save for 50 hrs straight while microing the hell out of a game and ultimately winning it. magnificent.

Stored research is from research overflow, as you produce more then a piece of tech needs, the overflow gets added onto stored research ^^

I would love to see what lath could do if he starts in the l-cluster in a system with three stars, one is a black hole and has the matter decompressor the other two have the Dyson sphere and the ring world also there are still planets (two gas giants with habitats and one Gaia world for each of them also enough unhabital planets so he can build every type of habitats in that system. (problem he is blocked of the real galaxy until the l gate is activated) and then he is the crisis and devours the galaxy(maybe a devouring swarm?) ohh and every other megastructure (also the megashypyard) are in that system.

Lathrix: I just realized Lithods as livestock produce minerals Me: Did you already forget the livestock only run?

The stored research I think comes from the 'leftover' research points after finishing a tech. Basically, if you need 5000 research to finish a tech, but you gain 10000 a month, 5000 goes into the tech and the other 5000 into stored research to be used on the next tech. Otherwise you'd bleed research points with every tech you research, even up to 99% of a month of research. If you have 3-4 month techs, you'd lose 2-3 months a year.

Any logical Stellaris player: Okay gotta go heavy firerate get a good fleet going. Lathland: LORE

Having several sessions going on for days in stellaris myself I fully understand the preassure these episodes can cause. Good work steaming through this and looking forward to future content.

Bakturian Purifier: 'attacks some weird one eyed bois' Also Bakturian Purifiers: Why do I hear boss music?

I knew it! The moment that news feed about 25x crisis came, I knew it was going to be Lathland that's going to have a playthrough on it first. Im subscribing.

Hollywood: How do we make sci-fi space epics? Lathland: I will light the way.

Got this in the background while I WFH. Thanks for taking the edge off Monday, Lathrix!

==Lathrixian Discord Server!== Since lathrix doesn't have a discord server we have decided to make one so his community has a place to come together, share art and express opinions about current series. It is a new server however it already has quite a large following; the more people the more of a chance lathrix will see it. Note: This is NOT an official server, Lathrix has acknowledged our existence and will hopefully join once he has less going on. discord.gg/dg3qFJX

A comment to support the channel, keep up the good work Lathland!

Always a pleasure to watch. Stellaris IS indeed a series that I want to see continued in the future.

51:00 -zapp brannigan XD President's Aide: Your Neutralness, it's a beige alert. Neutral President: If I don't survive, tell my wife, "Hello." tool tip: this is a place holder and should not appear in game lathrix: I have never seen that before lathrix: I don't think that is meant to happen honestly me: these are both statements commonly associated with "this should not be here"

All hail the algorithm, the algorithm loves you, all hail the algorithm!

Great play through I love how even though the crisis was prioritised by the council they basically just left you to fight it yourself

Lathrix: we’re kinda acting like our awakened/fallen empire In reality: mega fallen/awakened empire

It triggered me so hard when you chose 500 minerals over + 10% sublight speed FOR THE ENTIRE GAME. Its the "Adrift" anomaly, in case you are wondering.

Me: lathland hasn't posted in a while means a 2h+ video is coming *happy noises*

Thank you for the content. Currently stranded in COVID quarantine, and your video helped make it less frustrating.

Isolationists But...They have the galactic market on one of their planets...NOTHING IS WRONG HERE CHAPS.

Your videos are great and I have massive respect for the sheer amount of time and effort that goes into making them. Please keep up the amazing content!

You are one of my favorite you tubers you are amazing

Watching this whilst tidying the house before Xmas! Keep up the good work, love these videos.

I absolutely adore these full playthroughs you do of Stellaris. Please know that the amount of time and effort you put into these videos is not only noticed, but also immensely appreciated. Great video as always Lath!

The way you play Stellaris makes me want to turn off my computer when I boot it up for a run. Your damned good. Given me lots of ideas and helped me a lot. Thanks man keep up the videos I enjoy them.

Oh wow, you tackled this in a very unexpected way, no wonder it took you so long! I'd never considered that the Scion start, as powerhouse as it is, DOES mean that'll drag you into the War In Heaven even if you're trying to hunker down and isolate. I think that really hindered your ability to focus on, yaknow, prepping! Spent a lot of time suddenly sprawling out and fighting, rather than what I guessed you'd do, and focus on making your entire empire a long-war survivalistic fortress. But hey, that'd also be WAY less interesting, eh? You contained them very well even without that, too. Bravo!

The space zombies execute your leader Your economy crashes Your people suffer a famine The neighbouring hive mind invades What would you do in this scenario?

50 hours is nuts, you're a machine Lathrix.

Your videos are so fun to watch! Thanks for investing so many hours into such great content. It really brings joy into these dark times!

No one: Absolutely No one: Lathrix in the first 30 minutes of the video: "I do as the Brain Slug guides"

Hats off to you sir. I struggle to finish playthroughs at a fraction that difficulty. I learned alot from watching your crazy playthroughs

15:24 Did Lathrix seriously just declined a +10% to all ship speeds?! o_0

i usually don't comment. But these are my favorite types of videos. And I would never have found your channel if it wasn't for these types of videos. So even if they don't make direct economical sense, as long as you enjoy making them and showing new viewers the high amount of work you put into them, I hope you will consider them worthwhile for more years to come.

(spoilers) *sees Unbidden fleet* "That does *not* say 8.4 *million.*" I was waiting 2 hours to see this reaction and I was not disappointed.

Due to your dedication to your craft of editing, I'll like and subscribe.

Last time I was this early we still had fluid borders

I don't usually comment, but under the circumstances, how can I refuse? Thanks for this, Lathland! The amount of time that goes into making one of these videos must be absurd.

Never clicked so fast fr though, love the content, thank you!

I just wanted to say thank you very much for spending the time to edit down so much footage into a two and a half hour video. 50 hours is a lot of time to commit, so your full play through vids are very helpful. Keep up the amazing work!

This is hands down your most enjoyable playthrough to watch Lath. I'm not even kidding. I watched the entire thing without losing interest. That's a first for me. The slugs can be brutal on pop growth, but in my experience they pay off in the long run because you can negate the growth penalty with either robots, immigration, pop growth tech (genetic ascension path anyone?) or a combination of all three. I mean seriously, 20% research from Intellectual governers and 10% bonus unity? If your prepping for the crisis there literally couldn't be a better event you could have gotten. I had a think about using Lithoids as livestock for minerals. Imagine for a moment that humanity was enslaved by aliens who used us like cattle. Except instead of eating us they would slaughter us like animals and use our bodies as organic matter to create bio-ships. That's what lithoids feel like when you use them as minerals to feed your forges which make your ships...slightly horrifying. Arcology Project + Ring World = Eucumenopolis Ring World. So yes, Arcology project is the better choice. Nothing beats having 4 ring sections of 100's of Metallurgists. While ignoring shields is great, you could also have used the Null Void beams as they just eat shields alive for breakfast. Not ideal perhaps, but I know I'm going to test them out on the Unbidden next playthrough and compare results. One reason to go Null Void + Plasma artillery is so that you can spam the Energy weapon damage repeatables. If you get the Unbidden, Null Void + Artillery will do just as well as missiles and Arc weapons, whereas if you get the Scourge, energy just eats them alive so your repeatables aren't useless regardless. If you get the Contingency you have the best of both worlds now, because you have anti-shield energy weapons and really powerful anti-armor energy weapons. Its the ultimate strategy for hedging your bets imo, thought maybe it doesn't matter much when the crisis is in 25X difficulty... I like how you went from being Xenophobic Isolationists to full-blown Imperium of Man conquering the galaxy. True quality content.

Really wish I could support content like this more than a like and a comment in times like this... Still greatly appreciate the effort and quality of videos you're outputting!

Me: waiting for the next Stellaris video in the series and getting impatient after waiting days. Lathland: posts 2 hours of new original content full playthrough of stellaris. "A surprise to he sure but a welcome one."

You have my like and comment, seeing as how you are one of the few youtubers with a sense of dignity

I'm here to comment, because you deserve that sweet sweet ad revenue.

1:00 AM seems like a perfectly reasonable time to start this.

"all I drink is coffee normally" Average FTD episode "so I had some (insert alcoholic drink)" 2:19:25 if your wondering

About halfway through, going good so far. Really enjoying long episodes. You worked hard on this one, and I (we) thank you for the effort you’ve but in. Keep it up!!

This playthrough more than anything else is a perfect example of how current Fallen Empires are the most likely responsible for the Endgame Crisis that plagues future civs.

Great video man, I love these cut down longplays

Whelp, I know my evening movie now

I love lessoning to these at work. The roll playing is amaising and very intertaining

Phenomenal video, you deserve so much support for your amazing channel. There’s no one out there like you

I didn’t think this was possible. You truly are something else.

yay lathrix posted finally !! :D Always gotta like before the video 50 hours of footage . . .

Excellent playthrough Latland! Thanks

25 times.... That sounds... Questionable

Anything for you Lathrix! Thanks for the content!

2 hours 30 minutes of lathrix Im i in heaven

Keep putting out these Stellaris long-form videos and I will like and comment on every one.

When I saw the new update added in a x25 Crisis Strength option, I knew it was only a matter of time until Lathrix would pull it off gloriously.

That was an awesome watch, thanks for taking the time to edit down this feature length film!

AI: Oh i finally get 100k fleet! Crisis 8m fleet: Let me introduce my self

Thank you so much for the entertainment and hard work. I hope you can continue, stay healthy, and grow!

holy crap lathrix, 50 HOURS!?! you deserve so many more subs lol, you spoil us!! here's a thumbs up your way, (I'll even log in to my alt account to like the vid lol)

Lathrix' videos are the primary reason I continue to get sucked back into Stellaris.

what a mad lad! he actually went insane! or he never did change :\

long time fan but I rarely like / comment. Happy to do so now. Thanks for all the content!

Lathland vs Aspec please can we have this

That futurama reference at 51:14 stirs up no strong feelings about it, one way or the other.

Love it when lathrix says "future lathrix here" you know some wholesome postive thing is about to be said there is just something about lathrix's flow something relaxing not too hyper not too chill just good

I could bing these playthroughs all day long! Keep up the nice work.

I can't belive that i watched it all in one go lol

You are the only reason I understand this god forbidden game, this is some amazing stuff.

I knew this was coming, and I knew it was gonna take _ages_ to come out, but here it is. This... This is going to be quite the journey. I saw that they can get as strong as in the millions of fleet power, and I'm curious how you intend to beat them. This is gonna be fun.

as soon as this update came out i been waiting and lath hath delivered

Comment for support :P blessed may he be by the algorithm

Just got into the game. Binging all of your content. Keep it up man

I was planning on just watching the final freak out after seeing your start....then you said you had 50 hours worth of video to cut down....to a 3 hour video..... I'm gonna stick this one out cause oh it sounds like fun. XD Correction: 2 and a half hours. As you said in the video.

Wow, now this is dedication. Great vid, can’t even imagine going through and editing 50hrs of gameplay haha.

I really appreciate how much effort you put into these long-form videos. 42 hours?? into 2.5??? insane

love ur content man, you should make blooper videos w/ failed empires especially on challenges.
