To complete the 2nd part of this quest I have to not be in a state of war with any other empire. Unfortunately one of the AI opponents is the Necrophages who don't do peace so I'm always at Cold War with them, which isn't letting me complete the quest.



Besides completely eliminating the Necrophage (which seems to be antithesis to the spirit of the quest) is there any possible way of completing this quest? Seems dumb that I'm unable to complete it because of who my opponent is.



Thanks in advance for any insight! Great game!

Cold War is different from War.

Yeah, I'm aware 'War' and 'Cold War' are different states of diplomacy, just as peace and alliance are also different.... my question was if the game considered 'Cold War' as a state of war however.



Because when at 'Cold War' and even at 'Truce' with the Necrophage and in alliance with all other empires the quest was not progressing for me.... Bug maybe?

Im not 100% sure. But from what I have read, the quest wont work in 'Truce', however it should work in 'Cold War'.

The first step of the Drakken's 8th chapter quest ("Reprogrammed") requires you not to be in War or Truce with any empires.

Cold war is ok.
