I'm pretty sure they confirmed in this stream that there will be laws that can be researched and passed that allow other races to be leaders (inclduing robots)

I can't watch the second video on Youtube, it seems to be a private video. Could you fix this, please?
They encountered 4 of the starting empires, out of 50 or what? He explored like 15 systems...of 1000?
Don't underestimate what a freakin lot 1000 star systems are.

They were already spacefaring, the last pre-FTL development stage. That means it doesn't take all that long for them to join the game properly. In this case, they happened to get FTL tech comedically quickly..Those Sibulans became a spacefaring race almost instantly? I thought they said that primitive races would take ages to become an FTL empire or with assistance from other aliens.

Yes, primitive races will. Sibulans were not primitive, though. They were already space faring. All they lacked was FTL technology, which they happen to get quickly.

Yeah I had a good laugh at that. I imagine it's just a result of the less advanced species being graded in discrete jumps of technology. So the "early space age" category they were in could mean anything from where we are now - requiring a century or two of in-game time to develop FTL - or "we're literally launching our first FTL ship after lunch". Clearly the latter is what happened there haha.

Am I the only one who finds himself sometimes trying to move the cursor and click or hover over things before realizing you are in fact watching a stream and feel really disappointed afterwards?

So how could you have dealt with the Khersonia problem, if there was more time to show?
Just symptomatic approach (killing/bribing leaders/repairing after each revolt) seems a bit meh? Especially if you have to do this on multiple planets later in the game..

Excellent stream. One question though(probably already asked) - will the galaxy, on average, be as hostile as this, or is it just plain bad luck? I mean, so far the Blorgs only met violent expansionists, 'honorable' warriors and psychopaths....

Just finished watching the VOD. Another fantastic stream! Thanks, guys!
One question about those factions. How dangerous are they? Do you always want to get rid of them as soon as possible, or can a faction exist without causing too much trouble? Can you even get rid of factions entirely, or will there always be some factions in your empire no matter what you do?

I was also surprised how fast it happened.
Like 10 years into Stellar exploration your first colony may get heavy secessionist tendencies?
That seems a bit harsh. I was expecting this for outlying sectors in vast empires after 100+ years of separate development

It's down to luck really, they also encountered and adnormally large amount of jungle worlds so close together. Also remember the Blorg sport the repugnant trait. They are more likely to make enemies then most just by being alive.

Seems like he ignored a fair amount of problems to get straight to the war which is why they started to develop the secessionist tendencies

Also guys remember they are playing on a earlier build. Allot of what you are seeing might be very different at launch.
Did they ever specify what galaxy size they are using or the number of AI controlled empires? I don't recall hearing that.
First episode. Average galaxy size, so about 600 systems. Two armed spiral. I don't recall the starting AI count, but I believe it was not max. Will have to look.
Just as a general answer to a few of the questions.
We're playing at a really fast pace, neither me nor Wiz would play this quick when we normally play. Wiz also let the game run for a bit before we started and discovered some systems off stream. We might slow down in the coming weeks, but there is still a lot of game left to get through.
