As a person who always roleplays as the defender of the galaxy in one way, my Unbidden playthroughs usually go in two ways. Option 1: Use a few Corvettes to get the Unbidden's attention and break up the fleets and draw them towards the edges of the System. about 7-10 nations crammed into one little corner. Prethoryn constructors will build starbases to expand their territory into unclaimed systems. The Contingency fleets already spawned are generally not likely to rush to the aid of a planet or hub. The end game crisis can still occur while a crisis empire is active. Hub fleets consist of 25 euthanizers and 50 sterilizers led by an Admiral with random skill. War in Heaven can happen once Endgame Year has been reached. Destroying the hubs is the ultimate goal. The War in Heaven is a stalemate (which I am fine with) and I kept my head down and focused on tech and economy. The Siege of Kerbol would last for nearly a decade, and the planet would never be taken. The initial Fleet spawned with the hub systems is considerable and planets in the Hub Systems will often have fallen before the first fleet has mobilised. So far its working out well, i've expanded massivly, there are still about 3-4 fleets between the three fallen, my fleet is slowly growing back into shape, and i have the old fallen empires territory.

Roughly every two months the queen has a 33% chance to add a Warrior to the fleet and a 66% chance to add a Swarmling to the fleet, until the fleet has 30 ships. The end-game crisis should always warrant your fullest attention. so i had seen in a few post that if your game got to the default crisis year 2400, that if around that time one does not start but instead a war in heaven does start after that time an end game crisis RNG would be stopped until said war in heaven has been finished to restart the timer. However, the Matter Disintegrator weapons are anti-armour and hull, and the extradimensionals use no armor on their ships, so replacing your weaponry with these is generally a bad idea to fight the invaders. Make sure you are ready before you perform the 4th special project to advance to stage four. An FE can awaken as a result of a crisis, and I think the War in Heaven can trigger any time an FE awakens, so it should be possible for what you're describing to occur. Many other races in the Galaxy came to adopt the term, as the calamity was often beyond their own philosophical capability to understand, and calling it simply "The War" seemed to minimize just what it was.

Prethoryn transports will invade inhabited planets using ground armies in order to occupy it and purge the Pops. JavaScript is disabled. Any life-bearing world that fell into their grasp was rapidly and ruthlessly stripped of any form of living material. A blitzkrieg was launched into the Latian Commonwealth, a nation that had signed onto the demands of the JazGavaz. If the Scourge overruns a ring world segment it will destroy it. 3 Mechanical pops called Custodian Bots are spawned but the planets will not reinforce the Contingency. Let the Unbidden roam free. For their part, the JazGavaz unleashed their superweapon, "The Egg of Oblivion", upon the worlds of the Axis member-states, and any semblance of Axis resistance rapidly crumbled by the indiscriminate use of such a weapon. Soon im recolonizing lost planets and some of my neighbors old work, when I realize not only is there a quadrant next to me, but the fallen empires ringworlds. Since the Swarm only can infest habitable worlds, it is possible to starve them by cornering them and launching surgical strikes toward their planets to render them uninhabitable, thus widening the gap between them and any infestable territory.

The weights are the following: Hive Mind and Psionic empires cannot be infiltrated. The empire that destroys Nexus Zero-One will gain the Isolated Contingency Core Relic (only for human players, not sure this is intended). The planets are determined at galaxy generation so reloading a save will not alter the result. The eastern front would be a grinding campaign that would see the devastation wrought on the nations of the Star Concord, but not to the same level as what was being done to the Stellar Axis. Destroying a star eater will be a significant setback in the crisis empires progress. The Cybrex do not expand. this becomes more difficult if you add that you are the federation against the AE. If all have been destroyed, this will cripple them. Brothers and sisters, in this battle We shall be with you all, Elfoid and Baccatta, Yss'Zargon and Thembolon and all of the lesser species, with all the power of the Shroud at Our disposal.
