Terra Invicta (HF) E12 – Trolling the Servants & Maskirovka



Everyone knows that the Servants are terrible. From the first turns of a game they make life harder for good, honest, humans in service of the Xenos invaders.

Of course over time, they get worse. First they learn how to speak the language, then they develop all sorts of nasty tricks that tend to make the 2030s a series of ‘midgame challenges’ in TI after the simpler 2020s.

Unless of course you blow up their research labs.

Repeatedly.

Like, all the time really, preventing them from ever completing some of their critical technologies.

It angers them, it angers the aliens…but damn does it never get old.

Next episode, we start talking about my grand plans, but for now – enjoy a one year montage of laboratory smoking accidents.

  1. When you conqer a country, does it average your miltech with theirs? Because if not, wouldn't it mean that one way to blob US would be not to federate Canada, but conquer it when you get the claim?

  2. I wonder… is it possible to kill a faction outright? Like, killing all their councilors disbands it for the rest of the game.

    Probably impossible for the servants as they can keep enthralling.

  3. The colony ship should have been named after the HMS Sirius – the ship the Brits sent to establish a penal colony on Australia. A newer version could then be named the Super Sirius.

    Perun: "Americans are all very well educated, they love books. They love books, reading, and science."
    Me, an American: That's way more kind then I could ever be.
    Perun: (Pauses, walks back his comments) "It's just a game."
    Me: LMAOOOOO

  5. I like to think that the deception used to trick the aliens into ignoring MC points in use is a return to signal lamps and spy glasses. Obviously between planets you are sort of stuck with easily detectable communications but using older methods of communication might have merit at shorter distances.

    Also I think it fits for humanity first, right down to having literal semaphore flags stowed in the airlocks on their ships.

  8. Now I am left to wonder whether that "Maybe cut that part about Czechs not being Slavs" was said seriously and later left in as a joke, or if it was a joke to begin with :D.

    It was a good one in any case.

  9. Are you planning to do a councilor guide at some point? Specifically, how to pick early game councilors, which orgs to prioritize on which councilors and at what times, how to manage the 15 org per councilor cap, and what to invest xp in at various times?

  10. Morning , Perun!
    May I ask you for a in-deep guide to space combat?
    I've done 10 ships with rockets , as you suggested. Got my back wrecked by 4 alien ships on the orbit.

  11. Is there a way to form an alliance with other faction, or NAP is the best you can hope for? Also, is there a way to form NAP in late 20s and early 30s, or is it too late already? Because I don't see such an option in diplomacy screen even after several cosecutive phases of bribing faction with generous gifts.

  12. Eveytime I see your videos want to destroy my games and start over because I feel like it's all fucked. Thanks for the videos anyway. They're great. Also I've heard that earth can get nuked and it isn't a Game Over state if you've got enough space colonization happening. I would enjoy seeing how you handle that scenario eventually.

  13. Perun , is there a way to stop all factions to hate me? … I dont even agress , lets say Resistance, but they send shit to me and stay in perma War state. Im Humanity First , we are supposed to seek the same thing , right?

  14. Thank you for the playthrough video, Perun. Liked, subscribed.
    I'm hoping that Terra Invicta blows up on YouTube. I'm drawn to starting an Africa campaign centered around Nigeria, maybe Egypt and South Africa. I'm looking forward to when someone puts up an Africa start as I'm not real sure it's even viable.
