I agree.

For your benefit though [Music is played in background with suspense overtones]

Human Speaking: (Camera is zooming in Human and Thalan)

"You claim humanity causes the destruction of the galaxy." 

(Camera focused on Human)

"How can this be?"

(Camera shows Earth surrounded)

"Earth is surrounded by an alien armada."

(Camera shows Arcea)

"Our allies lie in ruins."

(Camera on surface)

"Their worlds ravaged."

(Camera focued on Humans back)

"I don't see how we can be the great threat in the universe."

Thalan Speaking: (Camera focuses on Thalan)

"There is a crusade coming"

(Camera focused on wormhole with Terran Armada coming through)

"A crusade lead by humans."

(Ship explodes in frame)

"and with it the end of all things."

parrottmath, You had done again to great help! Thank you, Other Karma for you! :), but sadly, I posted here and there in Element, Fallen hero?, Sin of solar empire, rebellion, it's seem Stardock still don't get it or not do it, or not listen or unable to do this to add subtitle options for video or any speaking voice for storyline and mission or quest? I even messaged to frogboy in past, yet no answer back but nothing help.

I agree with human speaking, I don't see how human threat in the universe, maybe black hole? but isn't universe basic unlimited and can't be threated?

Thanks.

I think that there should be subtitles on these things as well. If I had a way of video editing, I would put it on the video.

Maybe this will be the first time they do such a thing.

By the lore, a Terran armada was lost and locked away for a long time. They come back more powerful than anyone could imagine and wreck havoc on all the alien races. The other Terrans might try to stop them, but I think they are overwhelmed by these Rogue Terran troops. This is my take on it.

Same guy lead in Galactic Civiliztion 1? I did played storyline/single in 1 and 2, kind of forgot there storyline. Did he and his armada travel to star to learned secet, I don't think  they are rogue, it's sort like a top secect/classified military, rather than a rogue, unless they go rogue by killing major humankind race at least where they should keep humankind safe from alien race?

 

Edit: I forgot Galactic Civiliztion 1 story in single player, as I wish not want to play again, but I can't find, but there to be sure wiki, but it's only tell game basic story so far but not tell what happan in end when you done played game and background as well, I totoal forgot detail.

I think you are correct about the armada who left. The Thalan is supposedly from the future and says this is what will happen.

I like to believe that the Thalan are lying to the Terrans and trying to weaken the Terrans now so they can get a better position in the future. Thereby, allowing them to rule the universe. They leave it vague enough in the lore to allow both outcomes to be plausible. That is why I like this story its vague enough to produce your own future and so when you finish the game you don't think you ruined the original story-line.

I agree with you that Thalan is more lie and mess with humankind's mind/believe to weak them. I mean I think about time travel, it's make no sence, if thalan said threat and end of all thing in universe, how do he manage to live and had time to travel back in ago when he should be already dead and see that all thing is at end and where is his race in past if he come from future? Unless I recalled, when you see everything at end, there is not much time, let alone reseached time travel (again and again it's simple not work as universe and time go forward, never go back down, maybe slow time or faster time, but can't undone once it's passed? Whole thing is make no sence, and I think you are right about Thalan, might be far more cunning manipulative than drath, Thalan see human love diplomacy and use diplomacy against them.

That's a misunderstanding. The Thalan are not coming from a destroyed universe, but from a dying one. I've already explained it in more details here.

Please add subtitles always! As i was not born in English speaking country, I am not always able to understand what they exactly speaking. So please make it at least optional! Thank you!

I'd prefer if this was an option that could be enabled, rather than on by default. As a native English speaker subtitles ruin awesome video pieces like that for me.

Well this is a Si-Fi game so we shold discount time travel.I know speeding up time is hard,but,maybe with the right tech,possible(of course bein' a Christian I ain't to sure if it could ever work).Goin' back is the big problem,but is shown in Star Trek(sending U.S.S. Enterprise C back to the past).
