So despite being willing to fight to hand the earth over to the Hydra, the fact remains that we haven’t actually talked to them yet and know nothing about them other than the fact they tend to abduct and mind control people.
Now, Judith is pretty jelous of the people that are being abducted and drowned in Pherocytes, so in this episode she decides that the correct approach is to go give that a go herself by walking up to a hydra and breathing deeply of those sweet sweet mind controlling substances.
The Servants everyone, take a bow.

I didn't spend anything on general research – instead did management research mostly. You don't want to help the other factions to gain more research really.
"Hey guys, Cash Bland here coming at you from Russia with a new vid where I go to talk to an actual alien. Make sure you smash that like and subscribe buttons."
Later: "Hey guys, Cash Bland here. We're just 2,000 abs away from our goal of setting up an alien enthrallment center in Pakistan. So get out there and get your asses abducted, what are you waiting for? Make sure you like and subscribe."
it is very entertaining how you carry your morals to the game. It is a game. It shows that it is very successful, that it pulls so much emotion out of you. The issue I have after watching all this is when you finally really understand the game the replay value is pretty thin.
Can we have a mod that has Perun voice all the Servant researches
Perhaps an early suggestion, since this series is still young, but next series perhaps you could go for that one achievement, wherein the Servants/Protectorate win, and then you, as the Resistance/Humanity First manage to overcome them, and win.
"I base this hypothesis off jack and shit." Hilarious
I honestly love the servants, they are the Greeks to the aliens Rome, they countered the land but, the culture of the land conquered Rome
I love how Judith Howell, a cult leader who has been connected to at least one mass suicide, can literally smell the psychological vulnerability on the Hydra. And making humanity, with her at its head, the priest-philosopher caste of the Hydra empire is actually a pretty good deal for someone into ruling from the throne's shadows.
With all those piquant quips and jabs at Judith, it feels like watching Graham Norton's commentary of the Eurovision song contest. Love it.
It pleases me perun….your pain and suffering pleases me greatly.😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈
I don't hate Judith. I mean she doesn't explain herself well, but there isn't a coherent idea from day one that humanity can really resist the aliens. Judith has no idea just how quickly technology would develop or Humanity would unify in something like a Humanity First playthrough. The Aliens, at any point, can utterly destroy earth losing very little, so it's not inconceivable that her viewpoint might develop. I'd like to see more of the protectorate.
I have to say, after watching this I needed to go to the last episode of HF playthrough for a nice "Purge the Xeno scum!" pallet cleanser.
The Servant story is actually more interesting than I had expected… I'm intrigued to see how it pans out.
Its so funny hearing the pain in his voice trying to play the dutiful mind slave
Perun’s additions to the Servant narratives should become canon
Is there not an innate resistence/cooperation stat in these countries? It strikes me that all human cultures are the exact same in this game.
The region view will give you current number of abductions.
You can review the total number of abductions on the Region tab; it helps figure out which regions are targeted by the AI and help them along because Servants are awesome.
In this episode of Perun Invicta, First Contact! Mind Control! Alien Linguistics? And All-Out Alien Simping Nullified Mind Control?
Seriously, this has been a eritdly enjoyable playthrough with some spicy snarky commentary from Perun? Chef's kiss
I'm hoping Perun will go with an Exodus playthrough next. Seems the logical next step after HF, the Academy, and the Servants. After the Anti-Alien, Neutral and Pro-Alien factions, just go with the guys who are just, "F this crap, I'm out!"
@10:00 My only rational interpretation is that the Hydra can crush some minds to oblivion and leave others intact, and the agent, recognizing that someone like Judith is independently useful, choose not to overload her. Maybe.
Or this is just all a fever dream. I like that one too.
Perun achievement unlocked! Maximum swarminess accomplished! Level 6 Snarky now available!
The thing I thought about with the pheromones and mind control is an interesting aspect to a philosophy of the servants.
So you can't really be brainwashed if you like the aliens right? So if you think the aliens are going to win, the best way to preserve the human species is to *convince people to like the aliens*.
My first playthrough was as the Servants, you're making your game way harder than you have too. Embrace the suck.
I love that you can establish alien control before you even know what the aliens really want.
Writing for the Servants is surprisingly good. Makes me want to play Protectorate and Initiative – while I have a special kind of distaste for both, it still can be fun if they are written well…
What Soy does to a mf
Your disdain is incredibly amusing to watch. I loved my Servants playthrough (although I found the ending to be underwhelming considering the buildup in story up until that point) and it's incredibly funny watching essentially Humanity First be mind controlled into letting the aliens win :p
Servants are immune to mind control because there needs to be a mind to be controlled.
You can see the number of abductions in a region on the "Regions" tab, it was hard for me to find.
It's nuts that the goal of the servants to capitulate to the aliens so hard and fast they don't bother with the usual enslavement protocols
A realistic version of an Alien invasion of earth after 99% of their population has been decimated by a previous catastrophic event.
The Servants throw out ‘The Final Solution’ like they’re picking out what beer to have with fish and chips!
They're in the asteroid belt, they're in the walls, THEYRE IN THE GODDAMN WALLS
Cheer up, Perun, you could have traded places with Sgt Biceptov, supplied by Oligarkov and taking strategic directions by Scott Ritter and col. MacGregor 😉
I HEAR VOICES
soo.. academy and servants are pretty similar..
