Apparently a mod added a fallen empire that’s trapped outside the galaxy behind a weird wormhole, it declares war on you immediately when it’s discovered
I didn’t find it by going through the wormhole
So it’s just trapped outside the galaxy, and mad at me
abstract hull
Apparently a mod added a fallen empire that’s trapped outside the galaxy behind ...
…… I don’t think that’s modded.
Is it called something like “L Cluster”? (The space outside the galaxy)
autumn owl
L Cluster is like that, but its not a fallen empire I dont think
also goes through L-Gates, not wormholes
abstract hull
well Pnad said "weird wormhole" so I thought maybe that was a nickname for an L-Gate.
gentle otter
Not L-gate
Wormhole
They message you saying something like ‘how’d you get through the wormhole, not even we could figure it out’

ACOT secrets of the gate, they have like 1 trillion fleet power if i remember correctly
jolly breach
ACOT adds a lot of extremely high fleet power groups, so if it is ACOT, I wouldn't be surprised if it's 1 Trillion.
rocky spruce
only one that comes to mind
ACOT is fun though because it gives something past dark matter which is interesting
and the secrets of the gate submod does speifically state hey dont open these you will just die btw

i fought a precontact war last night
and the ai was just spawning 3k fleets on their capital from literally nothing every time i blew up their previous fleet
so i activated the TASS Cheats mod and
spawned
the star killer super colossus
and turned their home system into a black hole
rocky spruce
lol
autumn owl
if they gonna cheat i will too
abstract hull
fair nuff
autumn owl
they werent even cheating resources
they were just magically appearing entire prebuilt fleets instantly as i watched
on their capital
not even a shipyard
rocky spruce
you get debuffs while the ai gets the ability to just do everything instantly ontop of having a 200% to every stat
gentle otter
Yeah, I was fighting a fallen empire and fleets just kept popping up at my main systems
Destroyed all their star bases and yet fleets keep showing up

There’s a loophole with the Nidavillr hyperforge
You can build orbitals around the planets before they’re destroyed by the hyperforge
But that doesn’t work with anything else
No idea why it’s just the hyperforge

Yes, I did get it.
I got talked into doing a co-op run so I'm practicing before it starts.

currently mindflooded. 😛

I'd have done the same, invited to a multiplayer run so gotta do a practice run :p
Then I proceed to be the biggest villain of my multiplayer game, whether I'm trying to be or not

Thats how fear the dark works if i remember

@warped shale Having fun, eh?
warped shale
A bit! It reminds me of my older days playing Endless Space 1, but considerably more complicated.
I feel like I may as well try it.

I ended up picking normal humies for the group game, and did the uhh... PRemade religious/spiritualist fanatic xenophiles. We'll see how either go

I would rather not test how well I can stab people on my first game

Purifier types are best saved for when you have more experience
spice idol
Also being a purifier in an online multiplayer is kinda like saying "I don't want to meaningfully interact with any of y'all" which if it's a first game, is kinda a rude gesture
If you've played games before, then sure, purify away, but for a first?
rocky spruce
Purifiers are easy because you ignore all mechanics other then war is good
And also processing slaves gives a fuck ton of resources funnily enough
warped shale
Yeah naw. Especially not for an MP game wher we're trying to not kill each other
spice idol
If you want to be sneaky with it, you can run fear of the dark though, so you have the option for diplomacy, but can turn purifier later though
Fear of the Dark is very strong for later runs given for that, fanatic purifier becomes a free civic due to you just getting it added onto you forcefully
the downside is you don't start with purifier which is a strong start
rocky spruce
Yeah naw. Especially not for an MP game wher we're trying to not kill each other
Oh yea dont play purfiers for MP its just dick move didnt know it was for MP
warped shale
All good
spice idol
My go to multiplayer empire is economy ho! gotta be a big megacorp
typically like spiritualism with gospel of the masses
because it's funny to give people branch offices and build the thing that makes spiritualist pops
especially to people who are not spiritual
I recall giving branch offices to one of my friends playing materialist, and they started getting annoyed at how big their spiritual faction got
autumn owl
Corporate takeover of your empire by religious conversion
warped shale
Money based faith

It's surprisingly effective

Given my main play style is big economy megacorp, that big gun seems right up my alley given the big costs
warped shale
Is it typical for a precursor empire's home world to spawn right next to yours?
spice idol
Typical? No. Can it happen? Yes.
warped shale
Or did I just get stupidly lucky to have all 6 artifacts in my starting sector of the galaxy and also their home world next to mine?
spice idol
That's very lucky, yes
Normally I get like 3 in my general area, and then I have to do some actual playing of the game to get the other 3, whether that be war or diplomacy
warped shale
Ic
Unfortunately I don't know which wincons to work towards or how to work towards them
So I'm just kinda vibing. Might try a federation?
autumn owl
Is it typical for a precursor empire's home world to spawn right next to yours?
Precursors are generally seeded in and around a player's spawn. Usually you get one precursor for each player and the others scattered around the NPCs
warped shale
Got it
autumn owl
afaik
jolly breach
The actual Precursor homeworlds (the ones that you only gain access to from the final event of the chain), iirc are actually merely weighted to be nearby to the capital system of the empire that finishes the event chain. The events for building up the Precursor Insight are definitely placed based on the player starting locations, but I'm like 93% sure the homeworlds spawn based on the empire that completes the event chain up to the point of the "Reveal Precursor Homesystem" event. Which usually will be the player because of how the weighting of the spawns of the Insight-obtaining Events works, but not always the player.

see what you do, is you pick lithovores right, and then you never produce food. only science and alloy, and then, then what you do, is find a system named "Orion".
after you find and conquer that system, you kill everyone else because you're a fantic purifier.
