Bubbles is something to be universally loved. Even if I am playing a Xenopobic Militarist empire I will always take it in as the cherished pet/mascot of my empire.
Same here - although I tend to pick "Nyx" as the name and keep it as guardian for my homeworld. And woe betide those who attack it. Mostly because "Nyx" sounds almost precisely like the word for "nothing" in my native language - which is precisely the fate of anyone harming it.
@@ranekeisenkralle8265 Same for me on all points. Though after she becomes a centanarian and powers up, I'll sometimes send her to put down pirates that spawn nearby, as long as they're not too powerful (she won't be sent if a galleon spawns, not running the risk).

If Paradox knows how to place a nice subtle reference, having Bubbles killed during a defensive war should give you a total war casus belli against the empire who killed it !

Yes, but maybe as an easter egg with very specific prerequisites (like this, the owner should be pacifist for example) with low probability to fire, otherwise it will become a notorious exploit.

best solution to a criminal syndicate is to vassalise them or another mega corp then give your vassal a commercial pact. your vassal then builds legit branch offices even if they are criminal syndicates (if they were criminal branch offices they become the legit variants.) you get a tax share of your vassals income and every planet that has a legit branch office cannot have a criminal branch office preventing any other criminal syndicate from putting one there.
@@phinix250 You see, my policy tends to be a bit more proactive with criminal syndicates If your populations is owned by criminals, we ought to punish them And it just so happens that in my nation, the punishment is a death sentence.
Worst thing is when criminal syndicate is hidden behind a strong empire that closes borders with you. The stupidest shit in this game is that when you make war to expel the syndicate, you have to assault its empire. Really stupid, if I just want to expel his offices, then it's him who should have to invade me to protect his offices... -_-
@@mythicdawn9574 you gotta look at it as a matter of logic. For you to resort to military intervention against the father company means you, as a player/administrator, couldn't deal with the crime on the planet. What makes you declare war is the guarantee that if you cut off the "head" the rest of the organization within your space will die too, since you can't handle the issue on your end.

@@michasokoowski6651 Yep. It used to be tied to an archeological site called "Broken Gates" or something like that.

At least that is how it used to be. Not sure it has been patched since. Essentially it nukes EVERYTHING within the system - including cracking all the planets. And then there is what is left behind in the wake of that destruction....

Yeah.. the various foreign entities I find and add to my fleet tend to all hang out in orbit around my homeworld. Be that the dreadnought, Ahab, the amoeba, the ether dragon hatchling, or any other.
@@ranekeisenkralle8265 I have them usually chill in the sytem I have a dyson sphere in. Which I build at least a jump from my home star system. Set them on patrol between the two and watch them passively get rank from mopping up the few pirates stupid enough to spawn on the dyson sphere (which is common since I noticed they tend to spawn at the highest energy trade route) Leviathans are safe and fed.
@Tech Priestess Micaela Well actually you can cheese the dreadnought alot earlier than that. I've defeated it hella early with a swarm of torpedo and disruptor Corvettes. Unlike other Leviathans it doesn't auto heal very fast so you can easily tear through its Hull. Fighting it normally is the hard part since you have to technically contend with 3 HP bars instead of just the 1 Bar if you use Shield and Armor penetration weapons and a swarm of highly evasive Corvettes.
I've found if it's still around late game, and you defeat it with max components unlocked, repairing it with dark matter, nanite, and ancient fortress tech, it is the strongest ship in the game, being a titan with the evasion of a cruiser and more health than than the juggernaut. It is able to dodge torpedoes. It became my flagship, fighting on the front lines against even the crises and surviving.
I feel like I know what John was here; he was a rare example of a competent and non corrupt Custodian. He fended off the crisis expertly, preserved the galactic community and then voluntarily resigned his position to live in peace safely within his borders once he was no longer needed. The crisis had left him weary of all the killing, so he shifted his ethics to Pacifist & packed away his fleets & the Colussus, only keeping them just in case another crisis event occurred, but hoping he'd never have to use them again. Then some punk raider who thinks he's hot stuff enters his space, attacks his population & kills Bubbles as she tries to protect them. The galaxy once wanted him as a firm hand on the reigns of the galaxy, now they allow punks like this to roam freely. Perhaps they need a reminder of what the Wick Republic can do...
With that in mind I feel like any other civilization that knows what the Wick republic can do with just *A FRACTION OF THER CONVICION* will inmediatly turn around the moment these Bubble Killers show up their territory, they know that you simply, *DON'T MESS WITH THE WICK REPUBLIC* You simply don't, these Punk will round around the galaxy helplesly begging for someone to protect them, but no one will offer them any help, because one they got into this mess when they attack a peacefull colony of the Wick republic without any provocation and whem they murder Bubbles in cold blood, and two because you don't stand in the way of the Wick republic, you just move out of their way or get your entire civilization wiped out
I don't play Stellaris and don't know what all of these icons mean but if after doing some Wiki searching, genocide is the only acceptable punishment for killing Bubbles.
The balaclava symbol means criminal empire from Megacorp, the peace symbol means a pacifist empire, the symbol the mob boss had was a federation symbol, the red crossed swords means Fanatical Militarist, the stuff in the box include a colossus (planet killer), the world cracker weapon for the colossus, a mega Shipyard (allows you to build ships RIDICULOUSLY fast), a planetary fortress with FTL inhibitor, the skull is the purge icon, the two green symbols are civics I can't remember, and the other 2 are relics that I've never seen before. Relics give you powerful bonuses empire wide, so it's safe to assume they'd help strengthen the fleet.

Thats me... I am peaceful, just chilling in my corner of the universe, getting rich... when suddenly I get attacked. From that point on it's only a matter of time until manaical laughter as I blow up his homeworlds to send a message...
I tend to play this way, even when I have intentions of "becoming the crisis". My most recent game I've been playing with my friend on console, I decided to play as "Gestalt Consciousness" Robots who are "Fanatic Assimilators". I'm highly dangerous, right? I'm basically The Borg. Except, I do nothing to anyone. I respond kindly to all hails, I accept trade agreements (even when they don't benefit me) and research agreements (even ones that don't benefit me). I don't take any territory of my enemies. I don't antagonize them. I peacefully expand away from my enemies. I claim no enemy systems. Cue the first war that I wasn't ready for. I had 1 fleet of maybe 700 power. I managed to station it near one of my stations, and we smashed the first incoming fleet. Turns out, it was the only fleet they had too. So, I built up my fleet, then went into their territory and began smashing and taking as much as I could. War ended, and I went back to being peaceful. I needed to rebuild from the war. I went back to expanding. I now had 3 full fleets and was well over capacity and managing to maintain my empire despite hemorrhaging minerals and energy credits. Two of my fleets were dedicated to taking out the random space life blocking my expansion progress and the third was kind of just being rebuilt. A few years later, and a SECOND empire declares war on me. I manage to stop them with heavy losses and am angry that now I'm back on a war footing again. I prepare to begin taking territory... and the FIRST empire declares war on me again. They take a lot of my territory and I take some of theirs. My friend got in on the war too 'cause he needed land and he wanted to smash the jerks for doing that to me. Enemy was crippled. I lost a lot of territory. I wasn't crippled. I went into my fleet designer after the war ended. I turned off "auto generate designs" (I generally leave this on until I am going to initiate my first war, or we're getting close to Crisis times). I redesigned all my ships. More balanced. More deadly. We're done using nothing but Coilguns and armor. My fleets of 1.5K power suddenly jump to 3.2K power in the "downtime" years of the last war. I start taking tech that will do nothing except make my ships more powerful, my wars much longer, and my fleet command/capacity much larger. I focus on a war footing at home. As many alloys as possible. Gimme. I dismantle many of my starbases and move them to the "front lines" and load them up with defenses. The day of the "White Peace" ending, I declare "War of Assimilation" on the last empire that took most of my land. 3 fleets of 3.2K roll into their territory IMMEDIATELY and begin melting every piece of opposition there is. This war brings the other empire back into war with me. Neither are ready for this attack. I didn't give them a chance to build up. Why should I? They didn't give me a chance to get back into the game after the last one. It's time to be exterminated. So that is what I did. I wiped the second empire off the map and now own ALL of its territory (save a small section I couldn't get to). The first empire is now massively crippled and sandwiched between me and my friend. I don't anticipate they will ever be a threat again since they lost all but their most recent colonies. That "Nemesis" ascension perk is looking VERY nice about now. I was a peaceful Borg. That's not going to last anymore. I created my civilization specifically to attempt to get the machine crisis and to be able to destroy it. The other nations took issue with that. So, we're less than 80 years into the game. My tech is crazy off the charts in comparison to everyone else. I own 1 fourth of the galaxy already. I can hold 22 Starbases upgraded to Tier 3 and the game is offering me the next upgrade pretty regularly. My sprawl is increasing everything by about 100%, and I'm still way ahead of everyone. I'm fielding 4 fleets of almost 3.5K right now (it would be 1 fleet, but the fleet size limit is hurting me right now), which means I have effective military power of 14K. I can produce ships quickly, cheaply, and in massive quantities. So quickly, in fact, that I'm often receiving reinforcements on my way from one system to the next during war. And do you know what the worst thing is? I had no idea I needed to be producing amenities for a Gestalt Consciousness to prevent rebellion. I had no idea they'd changed the mechanics for unlocking the slots to build on planets, so almost all of them were just 1 slot open and nothing else... and I'd only built robot fabricators in that slot (thinking that population was how I unlocked the new slots, like always). I had no idea why my resource income was fluctuating so wildly all the time (my governor with no focus kept messing with what my populations were taking as jobs). It took two wars for me to figure this stuff out and become the most dominant power in the galaxy. I went from Friendly Borg to "Resistance Is Futile".
Total extermination is too good. Too fast. Too merciful. You're supposed to capture their systems with as many of their pops being alive as possible. Then you purge them from your empire with a meatgrinder, and send 100% of all food profits from said meatgrinder to that empire's friends and/or family. Free of charge, of course. Stellaris is definitely a rated E10 game for letting us do this.
I've always been partial to genetically re-engineering rival species' pops to be fertile, delicious, venerable, sedentary, weak, slow learners...and ever-so-generously emigrating them back to their home empire.

@@MrMogwaiMan I'd argue that whilst the galactic genocide would've probably shaken them up, they understand that their former allies let them live out of both respect and karmic retribution in attempting to save bubbles. Due to this, they'd be both terrified and respectful of that Empire, and probably be like "they razed the galaxy, but any empire would if their beloved amobae was murdered."

I like this idea of a isolationist pacifistic empire laying dormant, despite the might of the rest of the galaxy, no one interacts with it. No one dares to. Until one day, a young primitive race makes it to space and thinks it could prove it's mettle by beating up the silent one, so they decide to launch a raid and reek havoc in a few systems. Only for the empire to have known the pacifists the longest to step forward and enlighten the primatives exactly why nobody bothers the pacifist of galaxy.

I have the same feeling but for tiyanki. I always strive to take tiyana vek and attempt to make it my main system. Idk why but the tiyanki just bring such a sense of calm to me and I'm a huge warmongerer when annoyed so them calming me is essential. If I don't get it genocide will reign supreme.

They were dead anyway for being a criminal syndicate.
best solution to a criminal syndicate is to vassalise them or another mega corp then give your vassal a commercial pact. your vassal then builds legit branch offices even if they are criminal syndicates (if they were criminal branch offices they become the legit variants.) you get a tax share of your vassals income and every planet that has a legit branch office cannot have a criminal branch office preventing any other criminal syndicate from putting one there.
@@phinix250 You see, my policy tends to be a bit more proactive with criminal syndicates
If your populations is owned by criminals, we ought to punish them
And it just so happens that in my nation, the punishment is a death sentence.
Worst thing is when criminal syndicate is hidden behind a strong empire that closes borders with you. The stupidest shit in this game is that when you make war to expel the syndicate, you have to assault its empire. Really stupid, if I just want to expel his offices, then it's him who should have to invade me to protect his offices... -_-

At least that is how it used to be. Not sure it has been patched since. Essentially it nukes EVERYTHING within the system - including cracking all the planets. And then there is what is left behind in the wake of that destruction....
3 Battleships with a single Corvette, now that is a real show of power

This is me with the dreadnought... I track it down as quickly as i can and have it live in my home system... if someone hurts it, they cease to exist.
Yeah.. the various foreign entities I find and add to my fleet tend to all hang out in orbit around my homeworld. Be that the dreadnought, Ahab, the amoeba, the ether dragon hatchling, or any other.
What's a dreadnought?
@@ranekeisenkralle8265 I have them usually chill in the sytem I have a dyson sphere in. Which I build at least a jump from my home star system. Set them on patrol between the two and watch them passively get rank from mopping up the few pirates stupid enough to spawn on the dyson sphere (which is common since I noticed they tend to spawn at the highest energy trade route) Leviathans are safe and fed.
@Tech Priestess Micaela Well actually you can cheese the dreadnought alot earlier than that. I've defeated it hella early with a swarm of torpedo and disruptor Corvettes. Unlike other Leviathans it doesn't auto heal very fast so you can easily tear through its Hull. Fighting it normally is the hard part since you have to technically contend with 3 HP bars instead of just the 1 Bar if you use Shield and Armor penetration weapons and a swarm of highly evasive Corvettes.
I've found if it's still around late game, and you defeat it with max components unlocked, repairing it with dark matter, nanite, and ancient fortress tech, it is the strongest ship in the game, being a titan with the evasion of a cruiser and more health than than the juggernaut. It is able to dodge torpedoes. It became my flagship, fighting on the front lines against even the crises and surviving.
I feel like I know what John was here; he was a rare example of a competent and non corrupt Custodian.
He fended off the crisis expertly, preserved the galactic community and then voluntarily resigned his position to live in peace safely within his borders once he was no longer needed.
The crisis had left him weary of all the killing, so he shifted his ethics to Pacifist & packed away his fleets & the Colussus, only keeping them just in case another crisis event occurred, but hoping he'd never have to use them again.
Then some punk raider who thinks he's hot stuff enters his space, attacks his population & kills Bubbles as she tries to protect them.
The galaxy once wanted him as a firm hand on the reigns of the galaxy, now they allow punks like this to roam freely. Perhaps they need a reminder of what the Wick Republic can do...

You simply don't, these Punk will round around the galaxy helplesly begging for someone to protect them, but no one will offer them any help, because one they got into this mess when they attack a peacefull colony of the Wick republic without any provocation and whem they murder Bubbles in cold blood, and two because you don't stand in the way of the Wick republic, you just move out of their way or get your entire civilization wiped out
I don't play Stellaris and don't know what all of these icons mean but if after doing some Wiki searching, genocide is the only acceptable punishment for killing Bubbles.
the icons represent different beliefs
militarism,pacifism,xenophile,xenophobe etc
Also the colossus - a planet killing weapon
@@warbrain1053 planet.
The t1 lasers are a plane killing weapon
This is the truth.
The balaclava symbol means criminal empire from Megacorp, the peace symbol means a pacifist empire, the symbol the mob boss had was a federation symbol, the red crossed swords means Fanatical Militarist, the stuff in the box include a colossus (planet killer), the world cracker weapon for the colossus, a mega Shipyard (allows you to build ships RIDICULOUSLY fast), a planetary fortress with FTL inhibitor, the skull is the purge icon, the two green symbols are civics I can't remember, and the other 2 are relics that I've never seen before. Relics give you powerful bonuses empire wide, so it's safe to assume they'd help strengthen the fleet.
in theory bubbles could be a handy addition to a fleet but in practice bubbles gets to spend its entire life being pampered at a starbase

*Did you mean [Aetherophasic engine] instead of pistol?*
That's me everytime
Yooo what a raw line "i meet them with flowers,and say goodbye with a pistol" im using that!
I tend to play this way, even when I have intentions of "becoming the crisis". My most recent game I've been playing with my friend on console, I decided to play as "Gestalt Consciousness" Robots who are "Fanatic Assimilators". I'm highly dangerous, right? I'm basically The Borg. Except, I do nothing to anyone. I respond kindly to all hails, I accept trade agreements (even when they don't benefit me) and research agreements (even ones that don't benefit me). I don't take any territory of my enemies. I don't antagonize them. I peacefully expand away from my enemies. I claim no enemy systems.
Cue the first war that I wasn't ready for. I had 1 fleet of maybe 700 power. I managed to station it near one of my stations, and we smashed the first incoming fleet. Turns out, it was the only fleet they had too. So, I built up my fleet, then went into their territory and began smashing and taking as much as I could. War ended, and I went back to being peaceful. I needed to rebuild from the war. I went back to expanding. I now had 3 full fleets and was well over capacity and managing to maintain my empire despite hemorrhaging minerals and energy credits. Two of my fleets were dedicated to taking out the random space life blocking my expansion progress and the third was kind of just being rebuilt.
A few years later, and a SECOND empire declares war on me. I manage to stop them with heavy losses and am angry that now I'm back on a war footing again. I prepare to begin taking territory... and the FIRST empire declares war on me again. They take a lot of my territory and I take some of theirs. My friend got in on the war too 'cause he needed land and he wanted to smash the jerks for doing that to me. Enemy was crippled. I lost a lot of territory.
I wasn't crippled.
I went into my fleet designer after the war ended. I turned off "auto generate designs" (I generally leave this on until I am going to initiate my first war, or we're getting close to Crisis times). I redesigned all my ships. More balanced. More deadly. We're done using nothing but Coilguns and armor. My fleets of 1.5K power suddenly jump to 3.2K power in the "downtime" years of the last war. I start taking tech that will do nothing except make my ships more powerful, my wars much longer, and my fleet command/capacity much larger. I focus on a war footing at home. As many alloys as possible. Gimme. I dismantle many of my starbases and move them to the "front lines" and load them up with defenses.
The day of the "White Peace" ending, I declare "War of Assimilation" on the last empire that took most of my land. 3 fleets of 3.2K roll into their territory IMMEDIATELY and begin melting every piece of opposition there is. This war brings the other empire back into war with me. Neither are ready for this attack. I didn't give them a chance to build up. Why should I? They didn't give me a chance to get back into the game after the last one.
It's time to be exterminated.
So that is what I did. I wiped the second empire off the map and now own ALL of its territory (save a small section I couldn't get to). The first empire is now massively crippled and sandwiched between me and my friend. I don't anticipate they will ever be a threat again since they lost all but their most recent colonies.
That "Nemesis" ascension perk is looking VERY nice about now. I was a peaceful Borg. That's not going to last anymore. I created my civilization specifically to attempt to get the machine crisis and to be able to destroy it. The other nations took issue with that.
So, we're less than 80 years into the game. My tech is crazy off the charts in comparison to everyone else. I own 1 fourth of the galaxy already. I can hold 22 Starbases upgraded to Tier 3 and the game is offering me the next upgrade pretty regularly. My sprawl is increasing everything by about 100%, and I'm still way ahead of everyone. I'm fielding 4 fleets of almost 3.5K right now (it would be 1 fleet, but the fleet size limit is hurting me right now), which means I have effective military power of 14K. I can produce ships quickly, cheaply, and in massive quantities. So quickly, in fact, that I'm often receiving reinforcements on my way from one system to the next during war.
And do you know what the worst thing is?
I had no idea I needed to be producing amenities for a Gestalt Consciousness to prevent rebellion. I had no idea they'd changed the mechanics for unlocking the slots to build on planets, so almost all of them were just 1 slot open and nothing else... and I'd only built robot fabricators in that slot (thinking that population was how I unlocked the new slots, like always). I had no idea why my resource income was fluctuating so wildly all the time (my governor with no focus kept messing with what my populations were taking as jobs).
It took two wars for me to figure this stuff out and become the most dominant power in the galaxy. I went from Friendly Borg to "Resistance Is Futile".
When Bubbles dies: “This world is completely worthless. There is nothing left in it but misery.”
What is the point of the galaxy if Bubbles is not in it?
"Why are we still here? Just to suffer..."
Total extermination is too good. Too fast. Too merciful.
You're supposed to capture their systems with as many of their pops being alive as possible.
Then you purge them from your empire with a meatgrinder, and send 100% of all food profits from said meatgrinder to that empire's friends and/or family. Free of charge, of course.
Stellaris is definitely a rated E10 game for letting us do this.
genocide is a purely economic decision
Well, don't let those pops go to waste. Might as well eat them, they might be tasty.

True
This is exactly what I feel when I put down a criminal syndicate with my 500k fleet and nerve-staple every single original species pop as slave labour for a few years, only to use whats left as livestock.
Can you imagine being an alien race and having to watch your entire species (and all the others too) get wiped off the face of the universe because some random raider who thinks they were hot stuff killed the (vastly technologically superior) pacifist civilizations amoeba?
At this point, all the AI has to do is breath on me to derail my pacifist runs
Not even. You came into my home. You killed my omeba. Your life is now forfeit.
As far as I'm concerned, the AI is dead before they hit the jump point.
Honestly? I see a single fleet move in the general direction of my precious amoeba, I'm ridding the galaxy of those disgusting primitives.
me: fanatic yenophobe empire
BLOOOD FOR THE BLOOD GODS
Bubbles: *not having blood in it
SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE
Bubbles: *not having a skull
PATS FOR THE BUBBLE
Bubbles: *happy
And then the bubble empire attacked.
The combination of the music in the scene and the Stellaris Theme gave me chills.
Do you know which theme/ name of the song is?
@@MrGreat-cd9im Uhm...no, can't say I know. Enlighten me.
@@aurenkleige after a long search i figured out the song is the nemesis dlc theme
@@MrGreat-cd9im Neat.
i had this vary scenario happen. i was becoming a trade pacifist empire who just happened to share a boarder with a militaristic group. i left them alone and did my best to stay on their good side by sending some extra resources their way free of charge. then they declared war, and killed bubbles, simply put i went from peaceful trade group to full blown multi genocidal conquest.
I have the same feeling but for tiyanki. I always strive to take tiyana vek and attempt to make it my main system. Idk why but the tiyanki just bring such a sense of calm to me and I'm a huge warmongerer when annoyed so them calming me is essential. If I don't get it genocide will reign supreme.
One time an enemy empire killed bubbles so I sent their population from the largest in the game to only existing in a fallen empires nature preserve
„I only know him for a decade now.
But should anything happens to him, I will destroy everyone in the galaxy and me at last.”
Bubbles dies and has gigastructures. Alright let's see if we can make the entire galaxy void before the blokkats arrive
Choosing the pacifist path to avoid being the crisis
At least until someone hurts bubbles
Then Peace was never an option
I know this is supposed to be a meme about bubbles but still, seeing the dog dying again in the movie hit me hard 😢
Pacifist xenophile when someone kills bubbles: "A governing ethics shift has occurred."
If Bubbles dies, the universe will come to know what it is to live an existence where pain is all that their is.
This recently happened... my poor bubbles was wrongfully taken from me as I was invading a foreign power... so then I cracked every single one of their planets, and purged their people into extinction!
You did the Lord's work, friend.
you were too kind to them, you should have turned them into livestock and forced them to live forever as your food supply as remind them that they were the ones that killed Bubbles
I was so angry when bubbles in one of my playthroughs got killed, everyone became an enemy. Never again will bubbles be unaccompanied by an armada.
One day my robot spider found Bubbles and it was only creature my ever studying machine intelligence empire was caring of. But when Bubbles died cause of stupid war, Avoste Network took it personally
When he opened the Case i shit my pants after seeing what it held!
You called her Bubbles?
*What about Fluffy?*
*Yes, that is an option!*
I can't help but think when he opened the chest it should have had the icon for 'Become the Crisis' in there.
The mp session
When that annoying dude murders bubbles but doesn't realize it was the tryhard of the group doing a chill run this game
The rest of the group you fool you've doomed us all
Or just themselves. Just be sure to ask if you can help said tryhard running a train on the fool.
I kind of wish there was a way to rapidly switch from fanatic pacifist to fanatic militarist, like an event you could trigger easily
Lose bubble..... you shall see red
Start the game with very low ethics attraction. factions will be made for most ethics. Simply embrace the faction when you want to change
NOOOOOOOOOOOO
Damn, really nice job on this. Also, you are a man of culture calling your amoeba pet Bubbles. That deserves respect, as well as the meme you've forged.
If you ever get into Stellaris Multiplayer, and you see another Empire with a pet Space Amoeba. Do not, under *any* circumstance hurt that Amoeba.
Your Capital Planet will be turned into a finished game of Jenga in a matter of 10 years.
If I can't have my Bubbles, then let the galaxy BURN
Peaceful game: AI wages war and kills bubbles
Me: Civic change me right tf now
Galaxy News Network - *Bubbles has been killed.*
A game host who plays as third most powerful empire - *opens server console*
Event crisis .199
Event crisis .1000
Event crisis .2000
And just to spice it up...
Choose ascension perks...
Become the Crisis and Galactic force Projection.
wait a minute, crisis strength affects that perk???
Welcome to super hell.
Some hivemind kileld my bubbles so I went on a genocidal rampage and cracked 20 of their worlds and totally annexed them. I only actually wanted to take a couple systems off them to secure access to the Galactic Core.
Now I genuinely want a story of some planet of badasses embracing peace but becoming absolute galaxy-busters after someone killed their pet space amoebas
Me: this is bubbles, bubbles is our friend and we love bubbles.
Some purifier: (snuck past my station and killed bubbles)
Me: *eyes the crisis ascension perk* oh yea…
The death of Bubble birthed a new crisis...one that made any other look like gently wind compared to a hurricane
Massive player group playing together: aight so everyone kills every species except bubbles right?
The only AI: *Kills bubbles*
*everyone disliked that*
Had no idea what this video was about, till it suddenly dawned on me. "FLUFFY!"
Space Amoebas once ambushed and killed my previous Bubbles so I lead an extermination quest to avenge him. I ignored the Kahn, the War in Heaven and the rise of the Imperium in order to complete my quest and out of it I came out a powerful, terrifying giant who the galaxy could not stop. Every fleet emblazoned with the icon of Bubbles, I swept through the Imperium destroying their very fabric as a nation for getting in my way. Bubbles had been avenged at last
Bubbles is a legitimate reason to stop wars in Multiplayer stellaris and forges alliances if it is killed by an unknowing playet
The unbidden in my game killed bubbles... there was nothing I could do, I could only watch in horror
Fallen empire: (kills an amoeba)
Player: (picks a colossus ascension perk) I don't need your planet.
You know i thought i was a pacifist. But everyone keeps asking me if im a militarist... and you know what? Im beginning to think that yeah, im fanatical militarist.
