Stellaris London Multiplayer Event!

As I thought, Manticore is the true BBB of this game. He practically saved everyone of the New Party on the southern front.

Le Frenchman Jay's Manticore not only had one of the largest, strongest standing doomstack at 6k, his fleet was also very well-equipped weapon/defense-wise and by far the fastest because of hyperdrive. Scary, scary combination.

Also notable was how quill18 singlehandedly wiped out TJ's Loreswarm fleet in a single showdown. Fraser's Turkeys made the unfortunate mistake of splitting their already smaller fleet against both quill18 and Jay... so the Southern Front was completely lopsided.

Wiz is suggesting taking on the Fallen Empire. If they get eradicated Johan will maybe make Vicky 3

Genetic Engineering is hella expensive.

90 pops, to remove repugnany, 13500 minerals.

 

[ahhheygao]

It costs 2,400 Societal Research mana to modify all Blorgs just on Blorg Prime so they're no longer Repugnant... and 13,500 mana to modify ALL 90 Blorg Pops empire-wide.

Also, there's a Blorg genetically self-modified sub-species: Blog Illustratum - Continental Preference, Extremely Adaptive, Intelligent... that's pretty amazing, though they've lost their Venerable trait.

So, a couple of pages ago there was a mention of "Space Zoo" (or something) planetary improvement that require a special resource - rare animals (obviously). It give a neat +10% happiness bonus but my question is - how it's going to work together with Administrative Sectors? Common resources management is easy - Sector can use a part of it's own and something we donate, but what about rare resources? We are forced to use them in core world only, or we have to manually give it to AS and gamble that AI build improvement on right planet?

 

[GrimPagan]

I wish they all research robotics and AI, so we get to see the rise of the Skynet.

 

[ahhheygao]

This is what happens when you yump right into enemy doomstack.
@Wiz, @cKnoor, and @quill18's reaction: "OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"
Also, look at dem purdy purple sparkly crystal missile trails.

 

[mackau]

cKnoor: I'm going to watch the stream and see if we're dropping frames.

My stream immediately dies.

Ah that part about Fallen Empires was interesting...

Spoiler

they dont rebuild destroyed ships

But their shields regen, so unless you got strong enough to actually kill some ships in each engagement, you can't go all Russia on them.

[mackau]

Ringworlds are effectively 4 separate planets in game terms.

 

[mackau]

Lol they are going to lose so hard unless the fleet attacking the Blorg is their only one.

 

[Aardvark Bellay]

Wait, Quill and Arumba left the fed ?
Blorg has fallen.

 

[barny]

Are we just seeing 40k power by the fallen empire?

 

[ahhheygao]

Party Central:

Spoiler: HIGH ENERGY

Spoiler: Industrial Strength

Spoiler: What could possibly go wrong?

Spoiler: Pincer attack

Spoiler: 19k enemy reinforcement

Spoiler: A light show to die for

Spoiler: Launch all missiles!

Spoiler: Aftermath, and another 15k enemy reinforcement

 

[mackau]

FE has a fleet strength of 42k in their quad ringworld system, and they still have at least one fleet in the Blorg space which I think was 12k.

 

[Matthias77]

What could possibly go wrong?

 

[mackau]

The Allies have about 40k strength.

It's going to be a hell of a light show..

If the FE raider fleet jumps back it'll be a massacre.

 

[mackau]

The FE bought in another 19k fleet. This is not going to go well for the Allies.
