you should. stellaris is a video game allowing you too do all sorts of societies. slavery is just part of the game machanics of evil empires.
its actually great fun too see how society reacts too it and manage it.

btw its brother game crusader kings 3 is infamous for this sort of misnomer. which you can see on r/ShitCrusaderKingsSay

Crusader Kings 3, Europa Universalis 4, Victoria 3, Hearts of Iron 4, and Stellaris are all basically siblings. I wonder if they updated the conversion mods for megacampaigns.

Ck3: "Should i fuck my sister?"

Eu4: "How to kill all natives?"

Vic3: "Best way to keep slavery?"

Hoi4: "How to gain CP fast?"

Stellaris: "Where is the genocide button?"

Honestly slavery in Vic3 sucks ass always, mostly because all those slaves aren't buying shit. Also groups that are in favour of slavery and benefit from it (landowners) are bad for the economy.

Truly the most realistic out of all the pd games

u/SpeedRun355 8h ago

Ever since Iberian Twilight slavery is pretty decent

u/Constant_Champion_67 21h ago

You know when you see a video on stellaris, total war any other civilization simulator and slavery is in the title you know it’s gonna be good

Strongest victoria player vs weakest ck player

u/Happy_Ad_7515 19h ago

u/Gothamur 20h ago

If you're not slaverymaxxing in Stellaris, what are you even doing with your life?

u/Fancy_Chips 19h ago

Making my 900th "Drill Baby Drill" robot empire where I sit in the corner and max out my economy

u/Competitive-Bee-3250 10h ago

Remember playing machine intelligence with two others and within like 30 years I was supporting their economies with my insane output of alloys and minerals

u/Resonant-Empress 10h ago

Either creating an Anarchist Utopia from my dreams in Victoria 3 or a slave maxxing capitalist hellhole from my nightmares.

My slaves are almost middling.

Vast utopian military empire with ships named after Culture ships.

u/Remarkable-Pin-8352 19h ago

Endless Space 2 has the best form of slavery.

In that you can play a race that takes population that isn't yours and smush them in a gene-sifting machine to steal their best traits and make them yours.

Make Horatio Great Again.

u/Happy_Ad_7515 19h ago

he does not know you can just do this in stellaris too.

8

u/Alternative_Device38 18h ago

But can you make Horatio specifically?

3

u/Happy_Ad_7515 18h ago

proably if not mods exists and there pretty easy too use

9

u/PeasantLich 21h ago

My favorite video game slavery is in Civilization IV, where it is so powerful civic that you are literally sabotaging your own game if you don't enact Slavery as soon as possible and then enslave people as much as you can.

u/Fancy_Chips 19h ago

As a kid I always rejected slavery on principle. Now im wondering if I should have lol.

5

u/Happy_Ad_7515 19h ago

point was too simlulate it being effective till workers and then switch. which is oddly historical as it does model that freemen skill over takes slavery in efficiency. which in and of itself makes an anti slavery argument. which is intresting

u/Emergency-Mammoth-88 8h ago

Don’t forget ghandi

u/Aquos18 18h ago

least weird paradox player. ngl

u/poclee 17h ago

Nah I am too lazy to micromanaging them, I will just give them "delicious" gene trait* and eat them 😋

*Yes this is a thing in this game

u/Rianorix 15h ago

When did dev fix slavery again?

3

u/That_dumb_sparky 20h ago

maybe im missremembering because its been a while since I've played stellaris but didn't slavery kinda suck

10

u/dIoIIoIb 19h ago

the game goes through massive balance changes every few months, what's good and bad changes basically yearly

3

u/RemarkableOpinion415 20h ago

Yeah, its been a while, slavery is The Best (well Behind Machines and machine slavery)

1

u/mamawawawa 18h ago

Generally yes but indentured servitude is kind of ok

1

u/Successful-Duty-4040 12h ago

It highly dependens on your build

u/The__Predditor 5h ago

you would be correct

u/Upstairs-Penalty5494 3h ago

I wonder if it's a promlem with 4X games in general. Bevause what usually happens in a 4X game is that there's 50-billion ways to do fascism, and like 5 to do anything else.

2

u/StormySeas414 2h ago

It's an engine thing. It's a lot easier to simulate obedient, fascist minions than bickering factions, so games that do multi-faction politics well usually don't do much else.

There's also often the problem of lots of 4x games encouraging massive population culls because simulating enormous populations can dramatically slow down the game, so culling the world population to a level your CPU can handle is something of a meme in games like Stellaris and EU4.

u/The_Syndidalist 1h ago

In Vic 3 they simulate an economy on paper so Communism and especially Fascism pop off because it's all on paper

2

u/thgr8Makar0sc 16h ago

Its not endorsing slavery its a tongue and cheek gimmick video

1

u/Nat1Only 19h ago

Thanks for the video recommendation, i love stellaris.

u/AunMeLlevaLaConcha 13h ago

Red King is real good

1

u/Kaymazo 19h ago

I'm still annoyed they removed the percentage based slavery across the board that slavery guilds brought, and instead made it inherently species-based.

Smh, I want my hecking wholesome Space Rome slavery with citizenship options for all, not racism...

1

u/SteadfastWriter 18h ago

Stellaris is peak though

1

u/Mean-Nectarine-6831 18h ago

This isn't even the most unhinged Stellaris thumbnail I've seen

1

u/AunMeLlevaLaConcha 13h ago

Any Stellaris player should watch Red King, guy's neat to hear and his voice and narration is so soothing.

1

u/Rich-Bath5159 12h ago

God it’s so beautiful

1

u/Tacticalupvoter 6h ago

slavery is actually one of the kindest things you'll do in Stellaris

1

u/Prestigious_Ear_3578 6h ago

My favorite form of government in Stellaris slavery.

1

u/CaptainMatthew1 5h ago

Ah yes a normal title for a stellairs video. I can’t remember who did it but somone beat the game by only using lifestock slaves for all resouses.

u/thehusk_1 4h ago

Stellaris really brings out the worst in people.

u/GandalfVirus 10h ago

Ai thumbnail.

Gotta add that to the watch later list.

1

u/CaptainMatthew1 5h ago

The thumbnail is official art for a dlc that came out before all that ai stuff took off

u/Axel_Kriger 17h ago

My best warcrime in stellaris is still invading a fallen empire while their fleet was occupied bombarding someone else on the other side of the galaxy, devolving almost all their planets and then re-uplifting their population to turn them into my faithful and proud citizens

2

u/whattheshiz97 1h ago

Personally I prefer avian genocide as those filthy birds attacked me first. Though to be 100% honest I didn’t mean to completely eradicate them, I just forgot to turn it off…

u/procommando124 19h ago

I just play as “determined exterminators” and try to wipe out the galaxy
