What is this game? Stellaris is a sci-fi 4X "grand strategy" game by Paradox whom is popular for similar game series Crusader Kings, Europa Universalis, and Hearts of Iron which are of course in different settings and themes. The player controls an interstellar empire to colonize and conquer other worlds and interact with other interstellar empires either through war or diplomacy. What is the format of this LP? This LP will be done in the format of a video LP. I have recruited a couple of co-commentators: CirclMastr and HerrTog; who will also be acting as my political advisors helping me make some of the important decisions. I will be screen-sharing with them so they will be able to provide their live commentary. They are not familiar with the intricacies of the game, though, so it will likely be mostly under my control. But there will be opportunities for audience participation deciding some of our major political decisions as well as helping name any of the many things in the game that can be renamed. What MODs are being used? I am not playing with any MODs, but I am playing with all the available DLCs: Leviathans Story Pack, Utopia Expansion, and Plantoids Species Portraits. Otherwise, the game is the vanilla version. This game looks amazing! If my LP has compelled any of you to try this game out for yourselves, it is currently as of writing this post (June 23, 2017) part of the Steam Summer Sale, and the Digital Anniversary Bundle which includes the base game and all DLC I mentioned is available for less than $45. What's this about audience participation? I am inviting the viewers to participate in a few ways. I already mentioned that they can propose certain political actions between videos. Such proposals could be something like "go to war with this Empire", "colonize this Planet", "set these policies", "follow this tradition tree and choose this ascension", etc. Also, my first videos are just to introduce and teach some of the important details of the game, and once the LP properly starts, I will be playing an empire the audience chooses. More details on that below. Also, viewers will be able to offer names, their own or something else, to name things such as Leaders, Planets, Sectors, Systems and Stars, Ships, Ship classes, or anything else I can find that I can rename. Anyone that does offer a name, please include what you want the name to be applied to. If any Leaders are given name and they die, I may rename something else to honor them. Introduction and Tutorial Videos For now, here are the videos from the session where I introduce to my co-commentators and the audience Stellaris.
LP Stellaris 0-2: Now the game has started, and I demonstrate how a player should probably start and general empire management. LP Stellaris 0-3: Finally we create our first off-world colony and have some other close encounters of various kinds. LP Stellaris 1-1: Proper LP has begun with the winning empire. LP Stellaris 1-2: We first discover spaceborne aliens and plan our first colony. LP Stellaris 2-1: LP Continues and we begin naming planets in our home system. Empire Proposal Before the LP properly starts, I invite the audience to suggest what kind of empire we will be playing. Anyone may propose an empire of their design. I have in the first video highlighted each of the racial and government traits and details, so viewers should be able to pause and look through each of them to choose. Alternatively, you may refer to either the Stellaris Wiki or the traits listed below. The following is the format I would prefer empires to be proposed in, anything in square brackets [] is a placeholder for an entry: [Empire Name] [Phenotype] [Species Portrait] [General Description] (This is how I know which portrait to use including where the portrait is placed in the grid. Format this as something like "Mammalian (6,2) Flying Monkeys" or "Fungoid (2,2) Mushroom".) [Species Name] [Species Plural] [Species Adjective] [Name List] [Racial Trait 1], [Racial Trait 2], [Racial Trait 3], ... [Ruler Name] [Gender] [Ruler Title Male] [Ruler Title Female] [Heir Title Male] [Heir Title Female] (if applicable) [Phenotype] [Hairstyle] [Color Variant] [Clothes] [Room] [Homeworld Name] [Star Name] [Starting Star System] (Sol, Deneb, or Random) [Homeworld Type] [City Appearance] [Ethic 1], [Ethic 2], [Ethic 3] [Authority] [Civic 1], [Civic 2] [Empire Name] [Empire Adjective] [Emblem Group] [Emblem Design] [General Description] (much like with Species Portrait, this will be listed as a group then coordinate and a description) [Primary Color] [Secondary Color] (These can also be listed as a coordinate on the grid as well as the color name) [Flag Pattern] (Again with a coordinate and description) [Starting Weapons] [FTL Method] [Ship Appearance] As an example, here's an empire I made some time ago. Jhabbanid Swarm Arthropoid (6,2) Spider Jhabbanid Jhabbanid Jhabbanan Mammalian 3 Sedentary, Non-Adaptave, Rapid Breeders, Very Strong, Resilient Kul-Sarw Female King Queen Crown Prince Crown Princess 1 1 1 1 6 Athull Jor Athull Random Savanna Arthropoid City Fanatic Authoritarian, Militarist Imperial Nationalistic Zeal, Warrior Culture Jhabbanid Swarm Jhabbanan Pointy (4,3) Boney Wings (5,3) Blue (3,2) Red (3,3) Separating Lines Projectile Weapons Hyperspace Arthropoid Ships It would also be appreciated if you provide a screenshot of your summary screen if you generated your empire in the Stellaris game like such:  Traits and Mechanics in Detail Racial Traits

I look forward to viewers submitting their empire ideas. After about a week (or sooner if there is enough before then), I will hold a poll vote on which empire to use. After the vote, I will start a game with the winning empire while the rest will be forced to spawn in the galaxy for our empire to rival against for domination. I will also accept name to be used in the game as well, and I would appreciate if the name is also provided with what should have that name.

Godna posted:[Empire Name] The Goon Mind You'll have to pick one of the name lists provided by the game. There is no way I know of to create custom name lists. Otherwise, I'll have to arbitrarily choose one manually name EVERYTHING. You're also left over with 1 extra Racial Trait point, so the Goons could afford to lose one of the negative Traits. I could argue against it being optimal, but I'm fine with role-play instead of optimization. Godna posted:[Ruler Name] [Gender] Author ShichiNoBushi I'll need at least some choices for the Ruler's appearance and Room. The mushrooms have no options for Phenotype, Hairstyle, or Clothes, but the Color Variants are Red (1), Pink (2), Purple (3), and Blue (4). Alternatively, the Humanoid has no options for Phenotype or Hair Color either, and its Color Variants are Pale (1), Blue (2), Purple (3), or Teal with Black around Eyes (4). The clothing options are Fancy Robes (1), Les Fancy Robes (2), Bulky Armor (3), Armor with Tubes (4), or Less Bulky Armor (5). Godna posted:[Homeworld Name] Let's play "As Earthy as possible" would likely be Continental. Godna posted:HIVE MIND. I have neglected to list all the Hive Mind exclusive Civics. I will edit the earlier post to include them. Godna posted:[Starting Weapons] Energy Weapons Otherwise, that seems alright.

The Deviant Trait was removed from the Goons because it effected Ethics Attraction which will have no effect on a Hive Mind (and perhaps something to exploit for an extra point if you want to make one), and the game seemed to be complaining to me that I had that extra unspent point. Will change the Civics now. What do you want it to replace?

Then you can just copy&paste it into yours for the pictures, flag and so on. You forgot the ship prefix I think. Yes. That is actually perfect. If anyone else with the game can do that, they are also welcome to. Edit: Also, something else that makes this game amazing is that one species policy is you can turn them into food. Under the Slavery section is to designate them as Livestock where they are kept around. They don't work, but they do increase Food supply. Another option is under the Purge section where you gradually kill the species off and eat them. On top of that, if you finish the Biological Ascension Path, you can genetically modify a species to be Delicious which has them generate additional Food when they are used for either of those purposes.

I mentioned earlier that I would start the vote on which empire we play on Friday. There is still time to make suggestions, but I will list the current submissions here. "The People" created by Pittsburgh Lambic  "Big Butterfly Quantumity" created by Poil  "Wessari Interstellar Nation" created by HomestarCanter  "The Goonish Guard" created by Godna  If any of those don't match what you designed, please tell me so I can make corrections. Since there are only 4 so far and I intend to fill as much as a galaxy as I can with them, I am offering some of the empires I have already created to force spawn or play as if so desired.  Tell me if you want to see any of those above in greater detail. Also keep in mind that I will be accepting submissions for names for anything that is nameable. And also I will be accepting any ship designs once we have chosen an empire if anyone wants to provide any. I only really need general designs such as what types of weapons are placed in what slots rather than the specific tiers of weapons. Like anything else in this game, ship design as a robust amount of customization especially after you research certain technologies, and many of the weapons and other components have specific strategic advantages.

 Here's the summary screen for Outer Heaven. As you have clearly figured out, it's supposed to be based on the Metal Gear series and is an alternate history where The Boss's dream was realized and the world was unified. The species is a genetically modified race of humans name Le Enfant Terrible. They are Slow Breeders but Strong and Adaptive. Also keep in mind that the game starts at year 2200, so even though the initial leader's name is Big Boss, it is not likely to actually be him unless he was cloned (again). Something else to mention, if we are playing with multiple empires that start in the Sol System, I will only allow one of them to have that system and edit the rest to Random. Once voting on which empire we play as is done, the more popular among the Sol System empires will have the privilege.
