Stellaris Clone Army Meta Build - Short version

cheers for vid

I did a clone ascended tall build that worked out pretty well. Basically used lithoids to counteract the lifespan and rushed droids. By year 30 I had droid worlds pumping out materials and all 100 clones stacked on the capital making alloys and research. I had like 1300 research lol.

15k is kinda pitiful won't lie

Would slow breeders be a good trait for clones, given that their pop growth caps out so early regardless?

i really appreciate this meta builds. One question, how come people are not using deviants as the -1 trait anymore? Doesnt that do pretty much nothing iver something minor but more significant like slow learners?

Also to jump off what the other comment mentioned, i dont think ppl are making anough noise about how op overtuned is because theyre trying to stack overtuned traits right off the bat. What ive discoered is that if you only use incubators + preplanned growth, youll have -30 leader lifespan which is bad but manegable. However, you have stupid popp growth on new colonies, and if you use masterful crafters/spam hydroponics, its not very hard to afford the upeep of damn the consequences. And when you do damn the consequences, you legit get clone army levels of growth, it's actually so busted. I can usually afford to keep damn the consequences on all the way until bio acension, thats when i specialize my pops

Hey, I like your videos, and I wanted to share my build ideas. I was thinking of a megachurch build based around immigration.
So the idea would be to use incubators+pre-planned growth and nomadic or adaptive traits specie in a fanatic xenophile spiritualist megacorp so your pops get send everywhere in the galaxy and convert all other empires to spiritualism or cause chaos there by overwhelming their main specie and having opposite ethic to the main government. (You could even throw deviants in it so said pops grip harder to spiritualism in other empires and you can always offset the deviancy in your own empire)
