Memoirs of an Executor - A Necrophage Nemesis AAR

Perhaps this new approach will go better.

A so-called "worthy" successor won't rise unless xenophilia fails.

 

[Nikolai]

"No matter what kind of ruler you are... as your grave approaches, your key supporters will plan for your replacement.... because a dead ruler surprise will lead to a scramble for power at best and a bloodbath at worst. This is why, if you happen to be sick, keep it secret! If they even think you might die on them, your supporters might start planning for the next ruler anyway. If you recover, these individuals might still be on your side in their actions, but in their minds, you're already dead. You will lose control and then your throne in quick succession."

- Paraphrased from The Dictator's Handbook by Bruce Bueno de Mesquita and Alastair Smith

Thanks for sharing another Stellaris AAR with us! As always, this was a great ride!

Wise words, seems Gapra's supporters lost in the end though. Thanks for reading!

A lot of fun, and the end was good too! I think it's fitting to leave off here, and I'm sure the Triech will rise again.

Thanks! Felt like the right time to stop.

Perhaps. And perhaps it is all a ruse, imperialism under a new name?

A great ending! Perhaps this new era will help the triech?

Thanks! Between us, I think the Triech will do just fine.
