Hi,

I'm trying to counter a peaceful conversion of one of my UE system by the Fallen. As soon as the conversion start (3%/trun) I send a hero with huge influence bonuses, change all planets specialisation to influence, start researching/building influence related stuff.

Seems that nothing can reduce the 3%/turn or even better starting a -X%/turn. I'm ready to take back the system by force, then send the fallen to dark age but I don't want to. They are my oldest friends in the galaxy, I made good amount of dust with commercial relationship, I don't need the ressources on their planets ...

What strategy do you use to counter influence conversion? Is there something to do else than war?

Haven't played the Unfallen myself yet, but I read in another thread here that the Unfallen can convert you even if you dominate the influence sphere - if they have a vine attached to your system, their conversion works through that. In that case the only option is to kick them out with force I think.

ok thank you, I'll try some day, for now my game is broken :'(

Ok, ty for the war info. Does an alliance have an effect on the hability of AI to conclude the conversion? (i.e. they will not achieve it and not pay the influence cost to effectively switch) 

I can't try anything for now, my game is broken (report submitted), I'll test all that in ... futur :D

As long as I remember it's essential to have peace or alliance with another faction, for to convert peacefully. So...

Hi,

If you are indeed allied with the AI (not simply at peace), it will not convert your system even when the conversion is ready.
