Reclaiming The Galaxy As A FALLEN EMPIRE | Stellaris 25x Max Difficulty Crisis FULL Playthrough

Описание: Hey everyone!! This is our compilation video trying out the freshly buffed Technocracy Civic (or should I say technoCrazy because of the new research speed). Here's the link for all videos of this playthrough:    • 9th Playthrough - The Phoenix Imperium  

Build Detail:

Lore: The Phoenix Imperium was one of the strongest Fallen Empires millions of years ago. When losing the war against the Gate-Builders, a prodigious scientist developed a system of hidden chambers inside one of their planets. Now, after the AI Security Directive calculated the possibility of existing Bio-Ships, it awakened the old scientist to create these vessels and reclaim their glory.

Origin:
Remnants - Very fitting to the empire's theme and after the patch 4.0 update, jobs are now categorized by class, meaning that biologists jobs are replaced for archaeologists if you have the archaeo building. This enables us to have a massive production of minor artifacts since it's not capped by the building like it used to be in patch 3.14.

Government:
Oligarchic - Grants us +2 Effective Councilor skill and after the newest Stellaris Update it now correctly speeds up the Council Agenda Speed. On top of a very nice bonus to our councilor EXP gain. This, paired with something like statecraft or the trait Eye For Talent can greatly speed up our progress and get the op destiny traits sooner.

Ethics:
Xenophobe - Increases pop growth, reduces starbase influence cost and makes it possible for us to grab the most op civic for tall empires: Sovereign Guardianship. It only affects negatively our diplomacy with other empires... but who cares when we have strong fleets, right?
Militarist - It's required to have the Sovereign Guardianship civic that reduces our empire size from pops by 50%. It also gives a nice bonus to ship fire rate.
Materialist - Extra research speed and the option to have the academic privilege living standards, one of the best, if not the best in the game. Although we won't be building robots, it's bonuses are already good enough.

Civics:
Sovereign Guardianship - By far the best civic for tall empires, reduces our empire size from pops and districts, but increases from planets and systems (since we plan on having very few planets, it's fine). It also gives some good defensive bonuses if we were to be attacked.
Technocracy - This buffed civic really makes some interesting rush builds viable again, since the devs have gone wild when buffing the expertise traits which can grant us up to +50% research speed in the corresponding field.

Traits:
Intelligent - We wouldn't be a good fallen empire survivor if we weren't smart, right? It grants us a good bonus to all our research output. Very fitting for our empire and very good for the purpose of the build.
Familial - After the destruction of our empire, we became closer to our beloved ones. Developing deep connections is key to perpetuating the culture of our empire and avoid a devastating civil war. In terms of gameplay, it greatly increases our happiness the more pops we have, up to +20%, which in turn converts to extra stability and more resources from jobs.
Natural Sociologists - The population that survived the war against the Gate-Builders were residents and biologists in the destroyed land of Rise. Although many are still alive due to the good conservation of the cryo-chambers, some weren't that lucky. However, the new offspring already showed signs of understanding advanced biological logics and thus are categorized as natural sociologist. Regarding the gameplay, it synergizes tremendously well with bio ships, the remnants and archaeologist jobs and also the lore of our empire.

Ruler:
Scientist- Spark of Genius - Increases our research speed by +3%. Our Ruler Atrata Peyot was the smartest scientist on the planet and, because of that, he was the one responsible for the Cryo Project, saving our kind.
