What are you all most excited to find within the rifts!? The Formless, relics, precursors perhaps? Let me know below... If you want to pick up Astral Planes you can do so here: play.stellaris.com/TheRedKing
I dont think people realise how massive this is for the lore of stellaris We now actually know the origins of the unbidden and the others like them and what the throne is and what it is capable of... questions that we have had for years now... (now all we gotta wait for is an answer for what the hunters are)
I got hit by all three crisis faction the other day in the last 100 years of the game. Last thing I need is a 4th now because those bugs did a number on the galaxy.
@@TSOMimmortan that's what they are themed around, it says on the settings menu for Gigas that they are the Hunters in Gigas lore. In normal lore they obviously aren't canon but in Gigas they are the hunters the scourge speaks of.
No matter the problem, if you're in space, the solution is to "repolarise the X" - if that doesn't fix it, you might as well just set the self destruct.
And on top of that you can form a migration pact (or in my case be in hegemony with allowed migration), colonize new worlds with Formless pop, give them full Citizenship (maybe even assimilate into cyborg/robot pop), change to democracy/oligarchy, get Formless leader as new head of your nation, enslave every other nation(or purge), and now you have Ethernal Empire, with Formless as sole species.
@@dango6266 I wouldn’t bet on the next update being biologics focused, but certainly by the end of the year. The Q4 2024 DLC is called “The Grand Archive,” it’s supposed to be a story pack about capturing and breeding the galaxy’s space fauna. So if a biologics update is coming, it’s probably going to come out around the holiday season, at the earliest.
@@TheRedKing The contingency would have to involve some kind of machine expansion. The Scourge, I don't know, probably a biological expansion. The most radical would have to be galactic exploration beyond our galaxy (Though that would be more like sequel type material)
I guess I'm weird, my immediate first thought was "if the Abberant and them want it so badly, the throne should be destroyed. Nothing like that could possibly be safe or uncorrupting."
"ONLY FAITH CAN GIVE ETERNAL LIFE! NOT THIS PAGAN WATER!" - Spanish Conquistador in the Fountain of Youth in PotC 4, and its exactly what I'd say before destroying the throne
I am addicted to these stories. I have played Stellaris for years and your stories just bring me even more into this world. I can listen to them over and over. It's such great storytelling. keep up the great work.
if everything comes together, formless are the previous players who chose psionic ascension and become crisis, in which they successfully destroyed their last galaxy and moved into the shroud, also they are the force whos hunting prethoryn from galaxy to galaxy
Not gonna lie this makes me really want a new origin or species pack where we play a subset of the formless that landed in this universe after the shattering. I always wanted to play the unbidden as I though it could be made into a unique playstyle like the machine and hive minds where your psychic beings and could have unique gameplay. Don’t know maybe someone will mod it some day
It's SO NICE to finally get answers to the mysteries we have been teased with for how long. Mystery and the unknown are cool and all but at some point a mystery with no answer is pretty pointless. Especially to actually get an ORIGIN for a endgame crisis! I also almost forgot you served the Commonwealth of Man. What you did was not very nice. We of the Omni Collective kindly request you return the throne to it's original owners.
We, Solar Hegemony, are dissapointed that our brash and short-sighted cousins did not vassalize Formless in their reality... However we do not kindly take to any kind of veiled threats to humanity, even to variants of Commonwealth. Take heed of this warning, Omni, or you may one day face our wrath.
I just wanted to say, you are the sole reason I keep coming back to Stellaris. Ive been having a blast playing it and watching you. Keep doing what you do King ^^
So this basically (kinda) explains (leaving some stuff 4 your imagination) what the throne is. Do you think in other dlcs we will get an explanation or an mention to the hunters and class-30 singularity that get mentioned by other crises ?
Time for the other two crises to get story expansions. I'd like to see the hunters arrive in a galaxy that successfully fought off the Scourge, and possibly settle there (or go to war with consumers/eradicators), since the hunted prey is now dead.
@@TheRedKing I built a space station in that system, and after beating back the bad guys, convinced them to submit to me and got both gaia planet AND the throne.
synthetic dawn updated and expanded on the contingency astral planes is doing the same with the unbidden. their is probably going to be a dlc about genetic engineering or a hivemind rework that overhauls the scourge.
The Eternal Throne? It seems like a powerful device that would be a great asset for most galaxy bound verses like Warhammer 40k. However some may have already outgrown it's limitations. The Aeternum probably wouldn't be too overly excited over it considering their experiences and tier of power. They however would be more annoyed about this. "Hey! Who parked a entire parallel realm solar system of etheric energy nearby our birch world?!" The Phanon Corp however would like to take that for study and safe keeping thank you good sirs. As for the Stellarborne. "Congratulations on obtaining that interdimensional toy little empire. Keep this up and you may become like the Transcendent humans from the Xeelee's universe in a few hundred thousand years. Watch out for the Hunters though."
@@TheRedKing I guess you got to leave it to the Inquisition, Custodes, and Gulliman to handle. Don't let the Eldar take it they will only screw everything up again.
Ah only in stellaris can we start as Star Trek. Turn into eldridge horror and then end up as 40k somehow Also write in the comments to say what si fi setting would easily beat the formless
just dropping a quote & leaving there is no peace amongst the stars, only a crucible of war in which we are forever tested-- lord high admiral spire (battlefleet gothic armada 2)
They seem like they would make a good faction for verses like Halo and Warhammer 40k. A faction trying to survive and keep the Eternal Throne away from all the other nations and principalities.
Hold on, hold on, hold on, let me get this straight. There are 4 extra dimensional Species How much time did paradox put into this game? Because the lore is extensive.
@1.-ulysses334 Hey, don't be so glum chum! They have First contact slatted to come out on consoles as early as next Thanksgiving. No, really, apparently, they need a year to adapt the DLC, which is 90% text boxes.
The unbidden call everyone prey, so what if the prethoryn scourge refer to the hunters as such because they managed to defeat the unbidden and take their place as hunters?
"probing"....."Rubbing causes friction"... "a spherical device"= can pass thorough unimpeded"....... "frictionlessly glide".....doesn't help that the sphere looks like a button vibrator, .....I am going to hell for my dirty mind T_T
How much do you think these Relics including the Eternal Throne would effect galaxies like the Expanded Universe Star Wars and the Halo galaxy? They seem to raidate great cosmic power however they seem limited in capacity. The Forerunners were kind of like that already. And I don't know how something like the Eternal Throne would help them fight against the Flood and only end up as a liability because if the ever adapting parasite finds out they will target it and attempt to capture the Eternal Throne. In Star Wars it maybe enough to overpower something like Abeloth.
@@TheRedKing The Flood however have no such concerns. Just pure intent at fulfilling what it has the will to achieve. However atrocious the endgame goal maybe. The Eternal Throne would simply empower them even further then ever before when it comes to a continuous state of being. Add that with Neural physics and reality altering then you got a more powerful devouring monsterous scourge overmind then before.
@@TheRedKing Extremely harsh issues. What the Aeldari Empire did was worse then even by the wicked evil standards of the Dark Eldar in Commorragh. The defilements those Aeldari did became ever more abomniable and became worse then whatever kinds of perverted lawlessness nephilim activity went on in Sodom & Gomorrah plus two other cities now reduced to brimstone barried under the Dead Sea in the Bible.
In fairness I didn't expect any issues, but am aware alot did on launch. I think there are some broken things but it's more related to the patch than the dlc, just there is no where to review the patch
If you think about it, the 3 unbidden factions are just isolated factions of the formless ones may have lost their super sentient abilities due to being isolated from rest of the empire and were driven into an animalistic like craze because they lost their ability to communicate with the throne and turned on eachother, that's my understanding at least
so maybe i got this wrong but the formless called the unbidden its "children's" so does that means the unbidden are to the formless somewhat similar to what A.I are to us? i dont think they mean children's as in offspring and they called them broken. it seems the unbidden rose up against the formless and killed all but this group and they want the throne because its a powerful artifact that can harness massive amount of power so they can probably use it as a power source
@@TheRedKing It was more of a joke. But I appreciate the reply anyway. Your videos are really well done and your voice is perfect for the storytelling!
please put up a spoiler warning, I haven't watched the video cause i want to experience this new crisis blindfolded since it's been so long since they added a previous one. Even if it isn't a new crisis please make the thumbnail something else anyway cause i'm assuming this is a major part of the update
Ahh thats tough for me, it's kinda my job to "sell" the video - my videos are often pretty spoiler heavy as well tbf, but i am sorry if the thumb ruined something for you
I remember having a terminator playthrough (my first ever) and I had set the end year to 2800, so killed, I conquered, and I waited all alone in the galaxy, one day, they came, they looked down on me, so I took their electric eyes, I immediately crushed them I was legit jumping with joy.
