Hey hey peaple. Sseth here.

The thing is, after reading your comment i actually went and searched for the way Emperor Zelevas came into power. Turns out that he won the throne in a bloodless coup d'etat and since everyone, including the Sheredyn, who served as the rulers bodyguards, thought that the previous leader was kind of shit the empire just went along with it. So yeah, your comment is actually not far from the truth, all things considered. Zelevas did indeed show up one day and everyone agreed to make him supreme leader for life.

To be fair, with an outfit that spiffy why object to his rule?

@@konstantinschmitz3209 To be fair, this exact scenario happened at least once with the Praetorian Guard murdering Roman Emperors and electing someone they deemed fit for the position or outright selling the throne to the highest bidder while the Senate just watches and nods.

You simply don't! GLORY TO THE EMPIRE, GLORY TO MANKIND!

Because United Empire is the only generic race of this game ( with the Sophon), maybe ? ^^ Not a good reason to play anything else than Empire ?

Sure they're not the most unique race in the game, but just because it's been done before doesn't mean it's bad, and their influence based playstyle is definitely unique and definitely the most enjoyable imo.(Unfallen and their roots are pretty cool too.)

The Empire is a really big risk/ reward kind of race. They are the weakest race as the influence bonus on the population is virtually meaningless, making expansion and development of your civilization a nightmare compared to something like The Horatio. But again, they are weak for a reason, and its the potential of the race, they are able to use influence as a really powerful tool and resource allowing you to help you comeback into the game by "cheating" buildings, researches and if needed troops. This playstyle is not for all, as the race encourages you to sacrifice a lot of resources for midgame potential basically being on the backfoot of the game... until you make a powerfull EMPIRE. So yeaaaaah, I get em, but not my style, the friendlier I am, the better off I will be, our tree mens were not pacifist enough in my opinion so I play with selfmade races a lot xD.

Why play any of the other races when the United Empire exists?

They also did the Mechanicus Ost. Playing a full quality version on nice ear cans is mint.

*The only good bug is a dead bug.*

Hey hey people

@ViktorMandus Rhaefnhyrst bro it's a starship troopers quote it's not that deep.

Actually, it's federation type of government. It is called United Empire and they have an emperor but they are not your ordinary empire. In ES2 they start with federation as an internal system. There are Dictatorship, Federation, Republic and Democracy.

@@Wustenfuchs109 So more like Victorian Era England.

​@@Southern_CrusaderI get more Free Worlds League feel from that. People have more freedom as long as they stay loyal kinda deal

In game they actually say that the empire is far too large for a single ruler to govern it all, so it is a semi or fully constitutional monarchy I think

@@normieloser6969 Makes sense. Either you go more libertarian or more feudal with massive empires, direct control when you have thousands of light-years of territory to control is difficult

So... Mars ? Holy Terra ? Also your icon is the literal definition of *Heresy*, better you watch out for inquisitors...

horatio is now consider as a heretic and a mutant by Imperial standards.

Praise be to the God Emperor of Mankind!

You mean glory to Rowboat Girlyman now!

no.

To be fair though, the United Empire in ES is closer to the Adeptus Mechanicus (for the whole "ruthless interstellar company with an obsession for mass production and low-tech" vibe, minus the religious aspect) than the Imperium of Man.

Sylvain Malfettes once you complete the UE quest line and turn UE full military they are pretty similar

I was pretty excited about that. I loved shack's previous Stellaris RPs and prayed that someone would make a machinima series using GMOD or SFM in conjunction with Stellaris.

*MIKE MIRRER??* REPORT TO TROUSER SNAKE ARMY

*Soviet National Anthem starts playing*

I think that is not an issue. Through the progressing of the game, you can see that the empire is withstanding a wind of change. Rather than cooperations under a single ruler of the monarchy, it is slowly changing into a federation which is more like a republic because of the ineffective of the monarchy when the empire is growing so fast and so vast. The same with their Xeno politics. The opening cutscene happens when the empire just finished its unification on a single planet RAIA. And as them goes deeper into the stats, it is sure that they are not going to be very xenophobic. Because the empire's strategy is to rule through cooperations and loyalty. To me, that is the meaning of UNITED. Unity as one single empire when needed, but could be individual when not needed or not be threatened. So that make cooperations with Xenos is truly more effective and less costly than killing or enslaving them all. Then through time, they will become somehow loyalty as long as the empire protect them and see them as citizens. Another thing very interesting hint is that the citizens of the empire are considered as imperials rather than human even at the beginning of the game. I think that is another sign that the UE is more like an empire with multiple species as their citizens. And maybe they didn't kill all that 3-eyed aliens.

Also, I do not so approve that people who consider the UE is similar to the Imperium in 40K, not because I don't like 40K, actually I like 40K, but it is just the Imperium does NOT FIT the UE. Maybe it is fit in ES1, but definitely not in ES2.

It is already a federation when you start the game.

@@peiranzhang4283 I think a nation could be both federation and republic/democracy. Well, the modern United States is a federation yet also democracy. So that I think the UE is a federation which based on monarchy, then changed into a republic, or a republicanism federation?

Or if you go with becoming sheryden, you will be a loose dictatorship with republicanism on the local planetary level. But yeah, I think UE is the least extreme faction.

Shut the fuck up

@@Sai_Aye How about you shut some bitches up?

@@Sai_Aye piss of cryboy

@@user-qz6rj9ei7k meaning ?

>Not making it of the United Empire, the Sheriden and the Mezari. Do you even unite mankind?

>not uniting the other human-like factions The Emperor is unpleasant with your actions!

Why do you think he didn't unite mankind? He just made sure they are united under the RIGHT government, you know. Just like the Emperor has done it.

+Kaza ddum It's likely because in ES2, the United Empire is already the union of the Sheredyn, Mezari, and ES1 UE. It's already a united mankind.

KalDragon: I know. But which internal culture is dominant wil be decided by your actions.

*PUUURGIN WIIITH MY KIIIIIN !*

Man only playing as humans? You must be a boring person that never tried new food and stuff.

@@Wurstbrot03 lol. why? I played literally every race and I love humans the most. UE & Vaulters. I am most happy if I get to play one and have the other one in an allliance. I love humans most in any game, be it strategy or rpg. Even in DnD. They are just the best race + they give you the ability to roleplay that wonder and amazement you feel when facing unknown horrors :)

@@Finwaell And I, on the hand, absolutely NEVER play humans in any 4X - they're generic, they're bland, they're boring. I already know humans, they usually serve as the "default" safe option. I always want to try that next empire the developers thought of, unique and unconventional. That being said, ES2' humans are actually enjoyable, their gameplay is more interesting than the usual cookie-cutter option, and - well, this theme exists. Hearing it, I feel like the billionth soldier/worker marching and saluting to space-Stalin standing on the porch of a colossal golden palace surrounded by 18th century high-teched industrialization-age factories.

ShiniesAreCool You are right, the imperium prefers to purge every xeno

The Imperium permits some races to exist. Things like ogryn, which aren't really human, and they haven't ERADICATED THE TAU YET even though they could.

For the Tau, its different, the Imperium only want the emperor cult to be applicated and to protect itself. The Tau aren't a threat for the moment because they have to fight against the tyranides and the Orks. They also have to deal with Farsight the traitor. The imperium is able to crush the Tau

the Imperium are too busy trying to fight the whole damn universe to eradicate the Tau at the moment

I think that the Imperium and the United Empire are more similar. The Imperium and the United Empire both are xenophobic, whereas the Tau sow the brotherhood between species

Nah, when an outer garment attains that level of awesome, it is no longer a jacket. That, is a _coat_ .

I mean, that coat is amazing, but once you see how out of position his shoulders are you can't unsee it.

Looks like the coat of your enemy

I think those kind of people are detrimental to society, especially if they want other cultures to ‘kneel’ before them and viewing themselves as the ‘vastly superior’ culture.

hmmmmm

@@joeywild2011 Detrimental? They build societies. Those willing to do what needs to be done, to carry the burden of an empire are the sort to make the hard decisions none of us could decide upon. And about the other cultures, no two cultures are equal and to see ours as above the rest is natural and how it should be, to prove it via war or other means is just to make sure they understand it to.

Colonel Thyran First half of your comment, that’s fair enough. I mean, “do what needs to be done” isn’t always justified. I think morality is much more important than power. As for the second half, Jesus you sound like a supremacist pro-war patriot from 50 years ago. This kind of “it’s natural to think your culture is better” “prove it through war” mentality is so archaic and regressive...

@@joeywild2011 It's true, though. Maybe not in the turn-of-the-century sense, where people were expected to beleive that their culture was racially bound, unchanging and eternal. But it's *true* that human beings have an innate bias towards our customs and norms, to the point where we don't even see it as cultural imposition; it's just right and wrong. & any other view that considers our rights to be wrong and our wrongs to be right... well, whatever reason they're saying it for, that's a threat that needs stamping out. You're as "guilty" of this as anybody else, by the way, Baizuo.

To show them that, as the Bible says, it is MAN that is made in God’s image.

I have always seen it as the worst parts of the U.S.A combined with the worst parts of communist Russia

Nah. This music has elegance and grandeur to it. Brutalism has no grandeur or glory.

brutalist architecture is incorrect. This Theme is Industrial/Militarism

I'd say the musical form of Authoritarian Architecture instead, for it still has grandeure and elegance that Brutalist lacks completely.

And led by 18 badass super soldiers with an Emperor wearing ornate gold armor that calls himself the God-Emperor.

@@kavky Once we get away from our " " " tormentors " " " or just annihilate them outright that problem can be solved rather easily. Men and women of our genetic heritage don't need many excuses to breed. Its mostly the ruination and strategic demolition of our culture that is creating most of the social problems that are producing current birth rates. That's not even factoring in advancing technology. With sufficient knowledge of genetics and tech advancements in the field, the entire Race could be regrown in Billy's garage.

@@flipkiller8521 just make some genetically modified humans, turning them into Super Abhumans and clad them in the best armor and arm them with the finest weapons, Call them space soldiers or something idfk.

The United Empire actively recruits xenos, though. Although it is through aggressive force-of-arms, but they are still seen as members of the United Empire nonetheless.
