As the name/description in the title implies this Let's Play will follow the instructions/whims from each video to the next. If you want to participate leave a comment here or on the video outlining which races I should befriend/sabotage, what activities I should concern myself with from episode to episode, and other major decisions.

Each episode will be roughly 30 minutes long so keep that in mind when suggesting what activities I should concern myself with.

For this intro video I just need to know which starting race you guys want (if any) and whether or not I should send them tech or crush their fleets in the opening mission!

Thanks in advance for your input!

Awesome idea! I'll contribute to the first go-to round.

What if you start as Thoraxians, attack them rather than give them tech, and then immediately give spacefaring to the two races they hate most. ;)

First episode!

-Current Plan: Get the Acutians to war with the Thoraxians and slowly build up an alliance the Burlusts over time, eventually severing it to pave the way for Burlust domination of the Galaxy (centered around murdering the Peltians first)

So what should happen next? Leave a comment either here or on the video and I will try and execute it to the best of my ability.

Part 2 + 3 Are now up!

Part 2

Part 3

Unfortunately while I was trying to get a little further and open up some more option for you guys to decide upon the Burlusts may have conquered the Galaxy, so the next part will be the last. So instead of giving me advice on the current state of the game leave some comments saying what kind of Federation or Playstyle I should adopt for round 2!

And here's the finale, the Burlust are really strong.

So the next play-through will probably be focused on uniting all 8 races, a feat I haven't accomplished yet so what are some good tips or advice for getting the races to like each other (and not blow each other out of the sky).

I like to start Burlust-Thoraxian war. It occupies 2 most aggressive races and usually neither is able to completely defeat the other. That gives pretty high chance of all races surviving very long.

Thanks! In the few test games I played I was dumping insane amounts of credits into the Andor Pacifists to keep wars from starting so this should help out a lot!
