The BEST Stellaris Memes With  

What's your favourite Stellaris meme?

40k memes should stay where they belong! - a xenophobe

Stellaris has given me the advanced form of “just one more turn”….. it’s called “but I finally finished editing my custom race and it’s 1am now”

Genoside is eco friendly type of gameplay, its also has impact on personal energy bills

Fun fact: If you don't have the lack of soul required to get the "You Monster (Reduce, reuse, recycle)" achievement, you can also capture an extragalactic matriarch, have her spawn a fleet for you, and then send that to the 'scrap yard'.

My first fight with the Grey tempest went something like "After several decades of attempting survival, we managed to push them back to the Terminal Egress system. There we bottleneck them. We are pouring every last resource we have to contain them there. Who knows how long this onslaught will last. The galactic community just voted military sanctions in."

The final meme, imagine that, in a MP game, during the Great Khan and a player decides to open the L-gate at said time. Said player end-up on everyone’s target list very quickly.

Genocide is good because my computer can't handle all of these damn xenos. Don't notice the massive birch world with 4k pops. It's the xenos that are the problem!

Justice for bubbles, bubble haters shall be purged

My first crisis was killed by npcs in other part of galaxy Guess choosen ones are worth of something

Honestly one time I went so crazy with my military that the second largest AI empire had begged to be my slave and what's funny is I hardly noticed until about an hour later

You can be a xenophobic good guy: “gtfo my lawn” *loads space shotgun with inward perfection *softly “Don’t”

A friend of mine once in call just sighed and said "ahh, warcrimes" full of satisfaction

i still remember i was a robot empire and i was like "a fallen empire isn't no match for me" a few seconds later due to my stupidity i lost my whole fleet and empire within seconds

"and suddenly it's 5am" this was me last night when I needed to do just one more thing at 1am

Genocide is the only way to defeat the true end game crisis... late game lag

I had a friendly machine empire and roleplayed it has a glitch and turns into contingency as crisis. I had 27 science ships just for fun :) and I was overcap by 45 leaders (due to the mass produced fleets 100K and death stacking them.

I demand that Ep3o apologizes to Bubbles in person!

That thing at the end about the L-Gates is exactly the "problem" with current settings for your videos. Games are over so fast the AI doesn't have a chance to do it.And Problem is in quotations because it's not actually a problem unless you want it to happen obviously, to be fair.

I just remember the run where I farmed all of the xenos and called myself Ikea Inc. and I was the lead supplier of food and consumer goods off the galaxy...

Creating a stellaris meme without mentioning genocide impossible!!!!!!

I do not purge an empire's species normally, unless their empire fucked up and annoyed me. Then I'm purging them. I'm chill until I get poked by someone.

I like to antagonize the xenophobic FE. I wait til my fleets are large enough and then i park an outpost into their exclusion zone. I then laugh as they bash their face into me on repeat. I like to imagine it becomes a sporting event with gambling for my empire.

The reason empires randomly generate opposing traits is because of two reasons: 1. Positive traits (xenophile, peaceful) are notably rarer than than their negative counterparts, so the chances of getting buddies when you make a peaceful empire is much lower than getting rivals when you're a warmonger. 2. The game is hard-coded to produce random empires that oppose your ethics, especially those that spawn around you. On this note, Democratic Crusader is the best ethic combo.

10:50 had a game where a group on the otherside of a wormhole declared war on me and my ally(where fighting a bigger war at the same time). They didnt have their defences ready tough so we send some ships to take the system and cracked the cityplanet that was there aswel. They sued for peace pretty fast after that.

I've had a game where my empire was dominating a war, and I used a deluge colossus to turn a planet into a water world (don't remember if it was inhabited), only for the xenophobe Fallen Empire to have an anurism. Like old man, I'm not even close to you. Why are you taking offense to me terraforming? I think the same empire actually caused the Grey tempest to escape. I had set a couple of blocking fleets in the Terminal Egress, blocking the swarm from exiting, when suddently the FE started screaming. Now, this was mid-game, and I was busy dealing with the Tempest, so I didn't really have any spare fleets to potentially deal with the FE. So when they threatened war, I was forced to pull back my blockade. But then the FE did nothing, which meant all that happened was that the Grey Tempest got to invade the galaxy, because I didn't have any blocking fleets there. Thankfully I later got to destroy the FE, and enslaved them with the worst conditions I could (I think I also gene-modded them to be dumb and suck at leading, just out of spite)

All the memes about genocide when I am sitting here with assimilation and nihilistic acquisition getting the best of both worlds.

I once did a fanatic materialist and the rest of the galaxy was fanatic spiritualist fun times

My current empire is “The Collective”. It’s a driven assimilator, with the origin where you overthrew your creators and start on a tomb world, and we have human cyborgs. We’re a gestalt consciousness, with the eternal machine as a trait, so all my leaders are immortal.

14:16 Yes it scales based on diff. However, on the lowest diff, 1mil is about their total fleet.

I am currently playing the Commonwealth of Man. My last game was United Nations of Earth that proclaimed the Galactic Imperium after defeating four crises and immediately shifted ethics back to egalitarian democracy and is now enforcing utopia on the galaxy by force. Abundance is mandatory, freedom is non-negotiable.

Yeah, too many similar empires showing up in my game forced me to create several new VERY DIFFERENT empires and force them to appear in every game. I made a machine gestalt and a hive mind, a mega corp, a mineral focused dwarven empire, a food focused plant empire, a lithoid empire I don’t remember what I built for and one research focused empire. I don’t know if and kind of doubt the AI will play them to their strengths, but at least I don’t have to deal with as many copied empires.

7:10 My incoherent screaming got into the video.

First time ever that I had bubbles pirates killed him in the same battle that they died, after I didn't have anyone to revenge against

6:22 I have like 3-4 early game, then scale down by midgame since I can’t survey much else. I just use diplomacy.

Farms are great. you don't need many of them and being self sufficient is good. Then build some bio reactors to turn excess food into energy once you have too much surplus.

I conquered a Devouring Swarm today. And holy crap were their planets a nightmare. No districts, just strongholds stacked on every planet

i always play xenophobe pacifist. its habbit from back in the day, when pop management was much more difficult. i just keep agreeing to migration theraties by accident, and suddenly, my empire was all slugs. my elves do not like living with slugs

Me literally just playing the Japanese Empire in Stellaris like...

To add on some memes, but a few patches ago, I discovered robots can become addicted...How you might ask that can be possible, real simple: Bubbles dies. I say this mainly because it happened right after I got the message saying that Bubbles died. (I do have a screen shot of the robot leader with the addiction trait)

One pop in stellairs is equivalent to 1.1 billion individuals meaning a empire with 1000 or more pops is in the trillions people wise meaning combined with average length of a game and wars can be drawn out that means in one game alone there could be deaths in the quadrillions so yeah stellairs players are screwed

Me and a buddy were playing a chill game of Stellaris, and then the AI opened the L gate very early. Everyone died.

I’m sure that Montu lives with you from now on

Ep3o and Montu are my fav xeno compatibility couple

The Farming > Alloys got me but you need to know where the image comes from. Funny video!

im playing commonwealth of man (i am a xenophile player) while watching this and it is perfectly fitting the playthrough

2:39 techincally tanks with depleted uranium shells exist today, it can be a nowadays meme.

I've seen the AI open the L Gate plenty of times, I typically play isolationist until I'm ready but those idiots make me come out of isolation before I'm ready.

I've played even the lowest difficulty, I've never seen a fallen empire with less than 300k fleet strength

3:00 i play xenophile. I have the 200k fleet power. Everybody else just wants to be my vassel. Therefore, i am the senate.

You can absolutely play as Xenophobic good guys. Just don't purge (displacement only) or enslave and you're fine. Think of it as a friend who's REALLY into social distancing.

11:29 (this is HEAVILY modded) The empire of sildoria is the result of a lost colony like the confederacy of man, though they could not find any habitable planets and settled in the upper atmosphere of an unusually stable gas giant. The unique and challenging conditions of the floating habitats gave them the traits very adaptable, sedentary, conservationist, and slow breeders. Their government is highly industrialist, materialist, cooperative and pluralist, and is structured as a socialist democracy. They will become machines wholly during gameplay. Life for an average citizen is strenous but rewarding, as they are encouraged to be as productive as possible, a leftover from early colonization days when low populations upheld massive workloads to keep their rickety habitats intact. The intense labor is thankfully rewarded well thanks to their utopian abundance policy. As such, sildorian worlds maintain high stability and great productivity, enabling them to become one of the most powerful economies easily and quickly. They are not especially diplomatic, mainly ignoring neighboring empire unless they wish to form a reaserch cooperative and of course, influencing the galactic community for their benefit.

0:24 my first run like that was a devouring swarm run and all was well I had taken over half the galaxy until the materialists fallen empire woke up and there was no way I could beat them. 3:35 it’s not wasting its reducing the lag

I’m currently role playing the imperium of man, but I forgot to turn off xeno compatibility so now I need to purge half the galaxy

6:33 the right way to do it is having 20 science ships in the galaxy with 2 leaders and have them instantly jump between them

I love genocidal empires they make my free haven ecumonopoli fill up quickly. So many alloys

Three science ships there should be, no more no less. The one to go right, the second one to go left and the smartest one to go digging relics as fast as possible.

Hive mind devourer with hydro everything must be an abyss

Had the grey tempest redirected to me once,they didn't get the memo from the rest of the galaxy I am bloody stubborn and do one of two things, either massive forts and attritional warfare or out tech and throw a well put together armada at the enemy. I was doing the former that run. Krieger tactics arn't flashy but when applied fighting something that doesn't replace lost ships it becomes a game of managing kill ratios and creating replacements.

don't crack the planets, use the pacifier, it looks cooler.

4:30 I'm pretty sure you could disable/force spawn empires in a way that there is no hive or megacorp empire besides you if you just want to have some megacorp fun

My civilisation who worships Spacefaring animals after watching this video: 👿.

The khan is sometimes memeable when it spawns. I had it one time spawn after I defeated every 10 times crisis easily

Huh, I thought the one at 2:07 was an XCOM meme about the SHIV 🤔 Guess it can function as a 40K meme too

11:04 you can do that with the console tho, no mods required

my current empire is a lithoid cannibal bandit kingdom lmfao

Me: Why crack if you can shield the planet?

My first war with a fallen empire was the war in heaven literally the 1 empire solly in the space between them.

My current empire is the Commune of Terbasa, it has the Shared Burdens and Reanimators civics, so if you ever wanted to see Undead Space Communism, then this is the empire for you

Это не геноцид. Просто в красной книге появилась новая страница.

And they call james the bubbles slayer...

how do rebellions happen? ive never had that from any captured worlds or empires

I had a 72K outpost!

I can't say what my last game was on youtube.

Personally I do actually have xenophile, militarist, and materialist as my ethics.

12:28 I just download the LL mods and do literally all of those at once.

if build one sphere, take system with destroyed and get the core contingent. Is it theoretically possible to have 3 dyson spheres?

I feel like i am alone in never playing xenophobes. Getting refugees to instantly fill my ringworlds feels too good.

I don't know about my fellow purge enjoyers, but I just find really annoying to have to genemod 20 species every time I conquer an empire. I prefer to just set them to be eliminated and start the planets anew with my perfectly evolved pops. Destroy everything on a planet, set focus, automate and forget. No wonder machine exterminators are my favourite empire, you can even get machine worlds to not care about base deposits on planet andbe able to focus it on something to the fullest. Although there is a quite funny empire to be played with the escaped slaves F. Egalitarian militarists, going for the composer of strands psionic ascension, with shared burdens up until you can sustain utopian abundance. Then you have the "You are being rescued. Do not resist." kind of empire. Play aggressive, use automation past the amount of planets you're confortable controlling and have fun liberating the galaxy under your rule. I would center your species to be great leaders and only allow them to be leaders. Kinda like a Tau Ethereal cast, they are the rulers.

You probably won't see this comment but the AI are dicks with the L-Gates. I had a game with three friends of mine, helping one kill the Void Terror we named Kyle then the L-Gates opened only 40 years into the game. One of our friends had an L-Gate in his territory and the moment it opened this land was cut in two

One pop equates to 250 million people if I recall correctly. That’s a lot of people to forgive.

authoritarian+militarist+spiritualist with imperial cult and masterful crafters prosperous unification human imperium with continental habitability smart + engineer + rapid breeder - unruly and sedentary

I only enslave if it seems thematically viable... and I can get lots of thrall worlds. 😉

me when hegemon+GDF fleet limit abuse

The first time i declared war on a fallen empire i destroyed them so fucking hard that those miserable fanatic xenophobes regretted telling me to retreat my borders. (Yes, i wanted to invade them for around 60-80 years in game, dont judge me, youd do the same)

Xenophobic good guy aka inward perfection

Criminal empire go brrrr

I for one agree with Ep3o, Bubbles is a terrible name for that Amoeba. Nyx is what I always name her.

at 11:52, you seem to have missed the joke. The woman in the background is saying "I don't care what they tell you in school, Cleopatra was black" Anytime somebody posts her, the text is the opposite of their opinion

I understand Xenophobic good guy. Just want to be left alone, left to our own planets. Hell sometimes we even have friends, who stay over there, in their own space. Sadly the rest of the Galaxy is rude and doesn't want to just let us sit and be introverted so it usually ends up with me conquering half the galaxy and vassalising the rest. I'm not a cruel overlord, first law of my new empire is always "don't make me have to come over there", 2nd law "eh, whatever, just remember law 1".

I had anihilate m'y first gray tempest i destroyed my first fallen

Bubbles Appreciation Button.

Xenocide is demanded by the GPU

I have 500 hours and have yet to see Bubbles ;-;

Bro, I just installed distant stars, got the l-gate. Now wtf is a Grey cloud and why do I have to kill it? Do I need a big fleet?

Genocide makes the game run faster

so funny 🤣

I'm with you, bubbles is completely overrated. It never fucking spawns until it's way too late in the game.

What do you mean by talk about the current empire am playing?

Guys, am I the only one who enslaves a species until i can terraform their planet, then rapid extermination? Robots>slaves
