Is there ever any reason to fight the L Drakes? I've never had a situation where they were ever hostile so the idea of fighting them never crossed my mind.
Open it! Open it! Hehe …
Seriously now, thanks The Red King for more lore videos.
wow early this time!
Ok, that joke got me lmao. Gonna start using "I am too tired to reproduce" from now on
call me nerve-stapled the way i open the L-gates without concern for others safety
I think…..(this is random)
but I think yall forgot they already released the BEST song for a "pirate themed" origin in ' Stellaris: Aquatics | Trailer Music '. its just a good sea shanty
What do you mean there is a Grey Tempest Paragon? Every time I open the L-Gates I just get attacked by them or the once in a blue moon the race is still alive.

If they just came clean about goggblen up their creators I would let them live. We suffer not the coward or the liar tho.
I once won a game where no one opened the L-Gates
Reject L-Gate.
Embrace W-Gate.
its always a good day when the red king uploads
I’ve been playing this game for years and I still have no idea how to do this entire storyline
The lgates are invaluable when playing a war only build like determined exterminator. Really hard to hold on to though as the game goes on.
Currently at year 300 and I've avoided L gate insights the entire game but the game has been force feeding them to me and I 6/7 a couple years ago, I'm not ready 🙁
Be silent, the Empire requires those nanites. Open the gate!
Those pesky L-Drakes, always tearing shit up
The L gates are living up to their names, handing out L's to unfortunate empires
The L-Cluster is probably my personal favourite storyline in Stellaris, both because I find nanites a very interesting piece of technology, but also because the concept of a swarm of nanomachines getting bored and simulating the lives of the creators they killed to pass the time is a darkly hilarious one.
I was hoping for a unique interaction for a enanitethat did the nanite ascension
" Everybody knows the correct term is: I have a headache " NAHHH
Shouldent open it because the little star cluster it gives you is basically worthless
That is funny I like conquering the Lgate and takeing over the cluster as it is a great spot to turrtle up with giga structers. and Ancient Cache of Technologies mods. As I can really turrtle up and take on most end game problems.
The L-drakes that come out of the gateways are actually the Gray Tempest nanites?
Never knew that.
I swear L Gates have fucked the last 5 of my runs.
Woooooo new video!!!! Yay!!
Huh I didn't know there were other outcomes, I'm a cautious and peace through strength kinda empire so I figured they'd be trouble. Made sure to build up my fleets, conquere my neighbors and such then opened the gate with 2 100k fleets in system, got my paranoia validated and crushed the fleet that came through. They also had other fleets that went elsewhere (one into a vassal) so while 2 fleets did mop up through the galaxy i had three dive into the cluster and start capturing and bombarding everything while claiming every system I could. Eventually took it and about 100 years later it became my new capital sector. Nice to know there is some variations though
I feel I have seen parts of this video, but parts also frel brand new. Is it an edited reupload?
I thought they got rid of grey in the paragon DLC. I haven't got it since.
Wait, wait wait wait; so, the Dessanu created the gateways, and were native to the L-Cluster. But, how did they get to the Galaxy to install the L-Gates and other Gates, if they couldn't leave the L-Cluster…? Cuz if they could do that, the Nanites could as well
<3
I stay away from it 100% of the time but the other mouth breathers in the galaxy just will not leave it alone
Shoggoth.
Seriously. I know at least some of you should be familiar with the mountains of madness.
I'm pretty sure that the L-drakes came before the Not!Dessanu, since they're clearly less intelligent and therefore not yet capable of remorse.
10:45 AM: Google "How to open the L gates?"

Last three playthroughs where I've opened the the L-Gate, it's been completely abandoned
I remember having this one game years ago as a Hive Mind that got screwed over early because some idiot opened the L Gates way too early to the start of the game. I decided to bail on the run but before I did I used console commands to reveal the galaxy and I was like oh oh wow.
More than half of all the L Gates in that galaxy did not spawn scattered about but were clustered in one corner of the galaxy where my Hive Mind empire started. So even if I destroyed one fleet (and I definitely did not have the resources or fleet power to take on one), the others will be very nearby.
The hive will need all the namites
😮I always open mine. I literally can't imagine my game without gates
My favourite empire was the Cevanti Shard, which I made to be the last remnant of the builders, and the entire purpose of the empire is to open the gate and then recolonize the L-Cluster, with habitats or otherwise.
Me still playing on 3.4: what the heck is a paragon?
(I'm not dealing with the trouble of rebuilding my whole mod list to update to modern versions, if the change is small enough, I might go to 3.5 for cloaking but probably not much higher)
this is the first I'm hearing that the dessanu found the L-cluster; until now I'd assumed they were just native to that dwarf galaxy
In my game, I opened the L-gates entered and nothing was there got a few anomalies but other than that nothing did I miss the time frame or is it just super random
Ahhh… Remember when the first time I opened the L-gate and the Gray greeted me. The second time I was the middle of the War in Heaven. I had the bright idea to open the L-gates and the Gray Tempest emerged. That day I learned the L-gate is a russian roulette.
