Flopstick posted:Is there some trick to getting fleets to bombard a Prethoryn infested primitive civ in your own territory? They jumped into part of my empire and got marmalised, but not before occupying a primitive civ I had within my borders, and now I can't dislodge the fuckers. Known bug, or am I being dumb? I have 150,000 points worth of fleets in orbit, doing nothing. The primitives are being purged by the Prethoryn, and ideally I'd like to save a nucleus of them before they're all gone. I think as it stands you can only invade with your ground troops, but be warned it'll still count as invading primitives and everyone will hate you for it.

So I'm a hive mind, modified a species to have hive mind, then when I try to change their rights to resident or full citizenship it gives me the prompt and then marks them both unavailable. I'm on the beta patch which I read fixed that but maybe not?

Bio ascension is pretty cool, all my dudes are now superdudes and it's also necessary if you want to be a borgy hivemind and bring everyone into you.

Baronjutter posted:So have I gotten really good at tech or is survey corps just super ultra broken? I've re-started games 3 times now because my early game lead is just insane. By the time I've got cruisers every other empire is listed as inferior or pathetic in tech compared to me. I end up spamming habitats and have terraformed everything by the time other empires are building their first battleships. It really is, I'm so far ahead of everyone.

I'm kind of sad that I can't blow up this Dyson sphere since the game told me it's going to obliterate one of my people's favorite constellations  I mean I get why, if they could be blown up it would be a major point against ever making megastructures and also the ai would probably super prioritize them but... Still.

Gadzuko posted:Yes, but their testing is clearly in need of improvement. I mean, go right click one of your hotkeys to try to delete it. The options come up as "Decline" or "No". That is some amateur poo poo, honestly. Somebody isn't writing decent test scripts, or ignoring QA, or nobody bothered to take ten seconds to fix it. Maybe brutal war is how they say hello in their civilization! Don't judge! e: that said this entire game has had every other civilization using my race name when referring to themselves which is kinda weird

I think I've only ever had Yuht and First League finish. Both were after they added the mechanic that randomly spawns anomalies on your planets throughout the game until you can finish the quest.

Yeah I started having AE luck by going cruiser heavy. Also you can get them to split up their stuff instead of having like 500k in assorted fleets in one place by real quick grabbing a couple planets. Sometimes this results in their whole fleet parking in one system sadly bombarding though but that's better since you can go steal even more planets

The endgame crises are weird in that they're similar to the normal combat scenario where you are pretty much either killing them or being destroyed with no middle ground, but somehow moreso. I just dicked around and let the Prethoryn screw around in a part of the map but they took so long to do anything that I eventually got bored of waiting for them to do things and instead just killed them all. And after all that there are no more fallen or awakened empires and the crisis is over and I'm bored

PittTheElder posted:How exactly is the War in Heaven supposedly broken? For a more serious response, it was always a pain in the rear end to resolve in any way. Out of the two times I have seen it resolve... Once I was neutral (completely, not even league of whatever) and it somehow resolved anyway. The second time I cottoned on to the AI never bothering to retake its own planets and to the fact that while it was very obsessed with taking mine, it never bothered to defend the planets so all I had to do to keep it in a loop was to have one lone transport come in after the enemy fleets and armies left the system and switch the flags out again. Meanwhile my fleet was off clearing out resistance and then leaving a token battleship to maintain the blockade status since it was worth more than occupation.

Game is loving refusing to declare war on me and I really want to try out my cool murdercloud from the shroud but nooooo the AE that I'm trying really hard to tick off is just warring everyone else  And my stupid federation members won't let me declare, one of them keeps rapidly switching from yes to no on the predictor

I'm on the beta patch, I think it's just that I have a bunch of good fleet power and the other major player in my federation is "equivalent" on fleet power so I'm an unattractive target. Plenty of war is happening all around me though! The one awakened empire killed one of the sleeping ones but neither of the remaining ones has awakened yet.

Splicer posted:Downgrade all your ship tech until someone declares on you then quickly re-upgrade. Not only did that not get no one to declare war on me, but it used a lot of minerals However I found someone my allies will let me beat up and while I was taking some vassals, that the Unbidden arrived and are pestering the heck out of the AE which is kinda neat. (Fun fact, if the Unbidden and an AE are around apparently people you declared war on/facerolled/just "liberated" will all love you because the mutual threats bonus outweighs the warmongering jerk malus!)
