Hi, I'm currently on turn 175, impossible, huge map, 7 opponents, slow game...

I can't believe what just happened

until now cravers were controlling 1/3 of the map, until now they had most score, most MP, best economy, 1st in knowledge, simply unbeatable...

from another side horatio was in pretty bad shape until now, and he took 1/2 of the systems from cravers by force in about 40 turns only!!



Another thing that makes me happy is that AI's are constantly jumping in scores for about 500 up/down from each other including me.

AI is simply challenging at impossible difficulty and I'm playing this game 3 days already.

cool, I couldn't continue playing but save the game and share with you

the horatio are usually really good in the late game. the cravers have a trait that means they have to be contantly expanding to keep their war effort alive. if the cravers are stuck and cannot expand, they are usually takeen out easily.

The cravers get huge initial bonuses, but after a time they deplete resources on their planets and stagnate if they don't keep expanding. That is why they collapsed as they cannot keep up with tech and production like they were.

those locust points are killers if you don't research the right techs quickly enough. i believe without techs depletion is on turn 60.

Since release of harmony (didn't test that) there is a tech to raze the system, when built in the system it got razed, any improvements or population get vanished, and any faction can colonize that system again...

Now I'm curious what would happen if you take over the cravers depleted system and raze it? Will depleted planets still be depleted after razing or they become normal like before?

razing a system will have no effect on craver depletion or harmony purification. this allows the cravers to still be a big problem even after they are gone. i have tested this in disharmony after auriga.
