Stellaris How Long Do You Have to Wait Before You Can Declare War Again

This commodity has been verified for the current PC version (3.iii) of the game.

Enigmatic Observers finishing a Battlecruiser

Fallen empires are vestigial remnants of millennia old, extremely powerful empires that accept become chronically stagnant and decadent over the ages. Dissimilar normal empires, a Fallen Empire is fully developed at the start of the game, and due to their extremely large and powerful fleets they should not exist provoked until your armada forcefulness and technology is comparable. They e'er beginning with ii fleets of around 40k-150k Fleet Power and tin obtain additional fleets through events. Fallen Empires use a unique send and station fine art style which is exclusive to them; at that place are visual variants of this fashion and different weapon and component selections for each type of Fallen Empire, but the full general number of slots is about equal.

It is impossible to vassalize a Fallen Empire in whatsoever style. When engaging in a conflict with them, it is essential that an empire be fully prepared to deal with the consequences and be prepared to follow through on any demands fabricated. Any empire tin can make claims on a Fallen Empire system regardless of Ethics or their War Philosophy policy.

There are four types of Fallen Empires, five with  Constructed Dawn, and only one of each type can be in a game. The max number of Fallen Empires inside the game depends on the milky way size. However, if a galaxy is too populated (both regular empires and fallen empires sliders have been set to max) and then some Fallen Empires might non be created. This does not happen every fourth dimension and depends entirely on empire placement.

A Fallen Empire's species is randomly generated, merely there is a 5% chance for them to exist picked from any of the pre-fabricated species if the species in question have not already spawned on the map and have the Fallen's Empire required ethic, fanatic or non. For instance, it is possible for a human Fallen Empire to be generated as Enigmatic Observers or Militant Isolationists.

In the Contact list, they are listed nether their own section ("Fallen Empires").

Empires cannot conduct any grade of espionage on fallen empires.

If an empire has the Scion Origin while Fallen Empires were turned off a small Fallen Empire with only the dwelling system will be created.

Sleeping Empires [edit | edit source]

All Fallen Empires begin the game in Sleeping status. Despite their complete development and immense power, the Fallen Empires volition remain passive, staying within their borders and taking no activity unless provoked. They take  Imperial authorization and the  Lethargic Leadership and  Empire In Refuse civics, which prevents them from colonizing and conquering worlds or building new ships. They will, notwithstanding, get new fleets yearly through an upshot if their Fleet Ability is low and they are at peace (8 Battlecruisers and ten Escorts). Unlike other AI empires - which require the completion of a first contact project earlier communication is established - Fallen Empires will instantly contact empires who unwittingly enter their infinite, seemingly having been aware of the empire earlier it left its home organization.

Once revealed, organic Fallen Empires typically have a Dismissive attitude towards normal empires, and will non accept trades or Envoys. They always commencement with their borders closed, but some Fallen Empires will open them and accept trade if relations improve sufficiently to become Patronizing.

Sleeping Fallen Empires accept a modifier that reduces their ship budget and build cost by 50%. This modifier is retained when they awaken.

Sleeping Empires Interactions [edit | edit source]

Requests are 1-fourth dimension events that have a drawback in exchange for greatly increasing a Fallen Empire's stance and an increased risk of receiving gifts. Accepting a asking grants a decaying +100  stance while refusing gives a decaying −50  opinion. Requests are not available if at war or the empire is genocidal.

Tasks are missions to go to war against another empire inside 20 years to fulfill the goals of a Fallen Empire in substitution for greatly increased opinion and an increased chance of receiving gifts. Fortunately merely your  rivals can be picked as targets. Tasks can only be given to player empires. Fulfilling a chore grants a decaying +100  stance while refusing gives a pocket-sized −25  stance. Nonetheless failing the task by non completing it in fourth dimension gives greater opinion penalties. If the target empire is destroyed or changes policy on its own the task is canceled without any effect on opinion. Tasks are non available if at war or if the empire is genocidal.

Demands are ultimatums from Fallen Empires if their stance drops below −100 . Submitting improves opinion by +25 simply rejecting the demands volition grant the Fallen Empire the Penalization casus belli which they will always use to start a state of war. If accepted the effects are usually identical to losing the war about these goals, except without war the empire's leaders are not executed and there is no danger to lose ships in a possibly futile battle. If the Fallen Empire was rivaled by the offending empire they will not brand any demands at all and will only declare war immediately to impose their will from the outset. AI empires always accept demands unless their fleet power is above 50k, in which case the demand volition be accepted only 10% of the time. If a Fallen Empire has lost whatsoever of its original owned planets in a war they volition stop making demands regardless of stance. Fallen empires volition never declare war on an empire if their power is pathetic compared to information technology.

Gifts are sent by some Fallen Empires to empires that accepted a request, completed a job, or the Fallen Empire is Patronizing towards. Gifts are always positive and have no drawbacks. Accepting a gift also grants a decomposable +fifty opinion while refusing information technology for whatever reason gives a decomposable −50 opinion. To be tagged as a gift recipient, the empire must accept less than 100k fleet ability and not be at war.

The mean time between gifts is 100 years, modified by the following:

• ×2 if attitude is neither Patronizing nor Enigmatic, and either accepted or fulfilled a chore
• ×0.25 if Enigmatic attitude and accustomed a task
• ×0.1 if Enigmatic mental attitude and completed a job
• ×0.5 if Patronizing attitude and accustomed a task

Awakened Empires [edit | edit source]

If sufficiently provoked, a Fallen Empire might awaken and turn into an Awakened Empire. Awakened Empires stop being passive and make a bid to dominate the milky way or defend it from a Crisis (based on the form of Enkindling). Awakened Empires take considerable technological and starting resources advantages fifty-fifty compared to mid- or tardily-game empires, and thus their enkindling can have desperate consequences for a game in progress only tin likewise make them one of the best guardian forces in the milky way.

Effects on the Fallen Empire and Milky way:

Awakened Empires apply regular Diplomacy Stances just about always choose  Supremacist.

Upon awakening, a Fallen Empire'southward entry in the Contacts list is updated with a new name and is placed in the "Others" section instead of "Fallen Empires".

Decadence [edit | edit source]

Decadence is a mechanic affecting Awakened Empires to prevent them from establishing a permanent hegemony over weaker empires. 20 years after a Fallen Empire has awakened information technology will offset to accumulate Decadence. Decadence increases in increments of two and has a 0.5% chance to increase each month for each planet the Awakened Empire or its subjects possesses. Once Decadence reaches 100 it imparts the post-obit penalties:

Guardians of the Milky way [edit | edit source]

When an endgame Crisis occurs a Fallen Empire can awaken afterward 5 years with the declared goal of catastrophe said Crisis. If i of them has already awakened before the Crisis, they volition stop their vassalization plans and attempt to rally the galaxy equally well. Guardians of the Galaxy volition always agree to form or join a Federation no matter what opinion they held earlier the awakening. Once the Crunch has been defeated the Guardian empire volition leave the electric current Federation and become a regular empire. The chances for a Guardian Awakening are the following:

• 60% chance either the Enigmatic Observers or the Keepers of Knowledge awaken.
• 15% hazard both Fallen Empires awaken. If only one of them is present information technology volition awaken lonely.
• 25% chance neither Fallen Empire awakens.

Once awakened, the Guardian empire goes through the full awakening furnishings, and all empires will exist notified. All AI empires volition become ane of the following Stance bonuses towards the Awakened Empire (equal chances):

Only the Enigmatic Observers, Keepers of Knowledge, and Ancient Caretakers can become Guardians. The Holy Guardians or the Militant Isolationists will never awaken every bit guardians and should they take awakened before the crisis, they volition proceed with their domination plan instead.

Guardian awakenings exercise not roll for Ancient Rival. In addition, if a crisis occurs during a War in Sky, neither Awakened Empire volition become Guardians.

The Aboriginal Caretakers volition not awaken as Guardians if the Prethoryn Scourge or Extradimensional Invaders crisis occurs. Notwithstanding they are guaranteed to awaken if the Contingency crisis occurs and will in that example activate right after the sterilization hubs come online. This happens independently from the Guardian awakening mechanics, making it possible for upward to iii Fallen Empires to awaken.

Upstart awakening [edit | edit source]

The default type of enkindling, an upstart awakening, usually happens if a standard histrion or AI empire becomes too strong in Armada Power or has managed to conquer Fallen Empire worlds. In this instance, the Fallen Empire decides that the immature empires are becoming as well powerful and thus fix out to impose their primacy on them.

The requirements are as following:

• The game has reached the end game year, they are not at war, and their total combined fleet power is above 60k.
• A default empire is getting too strong (above 70k armada power with all fleets combined, or higher up 60k fleet ability and above 90k federation fleet ability with all fleets combined if in a federation) or has conquered a Fallen Empire world.
• No other Fallen Empire has already awakened.
• The event has a hateful time to happen of fifty years, modified as follows:
  • ×0.5 if a default empire has more the 120k armada power with all fleets combined.
  • ×0.1 if a default empire owns a formerly Fallen Empire-controlled world.
  • If at that place is more than one Fallen Empire in the game, the time is multiplied by the number of Fallen Empires (it is unclear if that includes no longer existing ones). This offsets the increased chance for one of them to awaken due to higher total numbers.

The Awakened Empire will have the Imperious mental attitude towards any nearby empire and send a request for the empire to go their unique subject type. Refusing the request volition add together −200  opinion from the Awakened Empire and cause them to declare state of war shortly later.

Awakened Empire	Original Fallen Empire	Subject	Can become Guardians
Benevolent Interventionists	Enigmatic Observers	Signatory: No diplomatic autonomy, purges or slavery, but the Benevolent Interventionists will join the war should subjects be attacked
Doctrinal Enforcers	Holy Guardians	Dominion: Pay 25% of  Energy and  Minerals income and ideals shift towards  Fanatic Spiritualist if non  Gestalt Consciousness and outlaw AI
Watchful Regulators	Keepers of Cognition	Satellite: Pay 33% of  Research production
Jingoistic Reclaimers	Militant Isolationists	Thrall: Cannot build new starbases and must pay 25% of  Energy and  Minerals income, simply tin can declare wars on other Thralls

If the Doctrinal Enforcers defeat a Sleeping Empire in war, they will change the Sleeping Empire'due south ethics to  Fanatic Spiritualist, causing them to plough into a Holy Guardians Fallen Empire.

If an empire owns the Head of Zarqlan relic, they volition have enough  opinion to refuse becoming a Dominion without risking state of war. As well, they tin can colonize Holy Worlds without angering the Holy Guardians.

War in Heaven [edit | edit source]

The War in Heaven is a special event where a second Fallen Empires awakens as well and the two Awakened Empires eventually launch a dandy war confronting one another, with the normal empires acting equally satellite states in their game. Once the first Fallen Empire awakens, an ancient rival may exist chosen with the post-obit chances:

• 40% A Fallen Empire with the opposite ethic is picked as rival, if one exists.
• 20% A Fallen Empire with a random ethic is picked as rival. This tin can hit the opposing ethic by chance.
• 40% No rival is picked, and thus no War in Sky can happen.

For the second Fallen Empire to awaken it must as well meet the same requirements every bit the first one (not at state of war, fleet ability above 60k, they haven't been awakened another way). If the requirements are met, at that place is a l% run a risk for the 2nd Fallen Empire to awaken every five years. Afterwards, neither Awakened Empire will engage the other for two years.

The odds of a State of war in Sky depend on the number of fallen empires in the galaxy:

2 Fallen Empires

• 18%: State of war against the other Fallen Empire.
• 82%: No war.

3 Fallen Empires

• 26%: War against the Fallen Empire of the opposing ethic.
• 5%: War confronting a random Fallen Empire.
• 69%: No war.

four Fallen Empires

• forty%: War confronting the Fallen Empire of the opposing ethic.
• 5%: War against a random Fallen Empire.
• 55%: No state of war.

Start of the State of war in Heaven [edit | edit source]

Once the War in Heaven starts, both Awakened Empires have the mutual Wargoal of State of war in Heaven, which causes a Total State of war. They will each spawn one additional fleet, two if any default empire has higher up 50k Fleet Power. The War in Sky tin can end with a status quo, leaving the galaxy with 2 Awakened Empires. If the Galactic Community was founded a Resolution to ban joining ane or both sides volition get available.

The choice [edit | edit source]

Each regular Empire that is not involved in a war is presented with the selection to join either side or stay neutral. There are four options:

• Join the first Awakened Empire
• Join the second Awakened Empire
• Choice neither side
• Subject empires of both regular and Awakened empires volition always follow their overlord

Choices and AI weighting:

Empires that side with one of the Awakened Empires will receive a free Guarantee of Independence from their patron lasting 10 years, become its subjects and bring together the war on the patron's side.

Once one of the Awakened Empires is defeated, vassals of the winning side that contributed to the state of war volition receive planets from the losing side's members unless they are too far from the borders. The League of Non-Aligned Powers volition nevertheless take to fight the remaining Awakened Empire and the War in Heaven is still considered ongoing.

League of Not-Aligned Powers [edit | edit source]

Shortly later on the War in Heaven starts, the president of the near powerful federation will be offered the run a risk to rename their federation into the League of Non-Aligned Powers. If the empire refuses, the president of the adjacent most powerful federation will be offered the pick.

If all federation presidents refuse, then each month the independent, not-genocidal empire that has the most fleet power and is at peace with the Awakened Empires volition be offered the take chances to course a League of Not-Aligned Powers federation. If the empire refuses, the next near powerful empire will be offered the option. If the empire accepts a level three federation will be created.

If an AI empire is offered to course the League of Non-Aligned Powers federation there is a 99% run a risk it volition accept.

Later the leader has been picked all independent empires, including those that declined leadership before, are offered one chance to bring together the federation. Afterwards, joining requires the usual federation diplomacy approaches. Empires that are rivals of the federation president are not offered to join.

Members of the League of Non-Aligned Powers go a temporary +200  opinion to and from each other.

Empires that are genocidal or take the Metalheads personality will never choose to become the leader or bring together the federation.

If a Custodian exists, it volition exist asked to lead the League of Non-Aligned Powers before other empires are offered the choice. If the Galactic Imperium exists, the awakened empires will also declare war against the galactic emperor.

Holy war [edit | edit source]

If an empire seals or destroys a Holy Globe with a Colossus, the Holy Guardians will ever awaken and declare a war of subjugation. This blazon of awakening occurs completely independently of other circumstances, and can therefore take place at whatever time under any circumstances (such equally during a War in Sky). Aside from the state of war confronting the defiler, the Awakened Holy Guardians will human activity like normally awakened Doctrinal Enforcers and endeavour to boss the galaxy.

Aboriginal Caretakers [edit | edit source]

Ancient Caretakers capital letter organisation

A  Machine Intelligence Fallen Empire that is the truly enigmatic Fallen Empire, the Ancient Caretakers are the remnant of a swell conflict in the galactic history. They accept been part of something chosen the 'Custodian Projection', an initiative to construct and maintain a number of ringworlds as a refuge for biological sapients fleeing some unknown menace. They take the Fallen Machine Intelligence and Custodian Matrix civics.

The Ancient Caretakers do non hold a personal  Opinion of any empire (their opinion is just listed as "?") and unlike any other Fallen Empire they are totally unpredictable. They may offer gifts for no reason or request assistance with tasks that can requite a permanent bonus or a temporary but serious penalty. Aboriginal Caretakers do not declare wars but can be declared war upon. They understand neither insults nor rivalries.

Aboriginal Caretakers have a grey and orange motif for their ships, stations and cities, as well equally a unlike texture featuring integrated circuit patterns.

Fallen Empire	Authority	Traits	Armies	Colossus weapon	Guardians	Border admission
Ancient Caretakers	Machine Intelligence	Automobile +three Extra Trait Points	Boxing Frame Ground forces Mega-Warform	Neutron Sweep

Contingency Awakening [edit | edit source]

The previous nifty conflict the Ancient Caretakers refer to was a former Contingency cycle. As such, equally soon as the Contingency activates, information technology will attempt to corrupt the Ancient Caretakers. They take a 66% take chances of severing the connectedness and activating their Terminal Defence Protocols (Guardians of the Galaxy awakening) and a 33% chance to be corrupted by it and start attacking everything (Berserkers). Each Enkindling has a uniquely named borough to differentiate them – Concluding Defense Directives or Corrupted Defense Directives – although the civics have identical effects. The risk to awaken equally a Custodian or Berserker is decided at the starting time of the game so reloading a previous save volition not alter the result.

Ancient Caretakers cannot awaken in any other way nor can they be the Ancient Rival and thus exist part of a War in Sky. Dissimilar other Guardian empires they volition non endeavor to form or join a federation.

Requests [edit | edit source]

1. Let inoculations: Sent to organic empires. Mean time to happen is 100 years. A negative happiness modifier is applied, until the results show themselves. ten years later the results will appear and can be either positive or negative. The mean fourth dimension to happen is shortened to 66% if they awakened in the meantime.
2. Allow code changes: The machine empire variant of inoculations. Same rules for proficient/bad results utilise.
3. Provide worker units: With a mean time to happen of 50 years, a Motorcar Intelligence with at to the lowest degree 11 pops will exist requested to give two pops to the Aboriginal Caretakers.

Request	Initial modifier	Incompatible result (x years)	Compatible outcome (permanent)

Tasks [edit | edit source]

1. Attack Empire: With a hateful time to happen of 100 years, an empire volition be asked to attack a fellow empire. Unlike other tasks this one tin can target empires that refused requests or tasks from the Ancient Caretakers. The time for the set on is twenty years, with upwards to 1 year overtime.
2. Colonize a planet: With a mean time to happen of 200 years, the Custodians request the colonization of a planet. The planet will be near or within the player'due south borders and eligible for colonization, when the request is given. Within 20 years at least 5 grown pops must be on the colonized planet. Intendance should be taken if the habitable worlds setting was raised because this task does not add a betoken of involvement on the milky way map.
3. End waging war: With a hateful time to happen of 100 years, the empire is tasked to outlaw war. Empires that already do are excluded. If accepted, the policy must exist changed to No Wars inside 20 years.
4. Terminate colonizing: With a mean fourth dimension to happen of 100 years, the empire is tasked with not colonizing anymore. This task tin can no longer announced after 100 years have passed. Empires with planets under colonization are excluded. If accustomed, the empire must refrain from any colonization for the next x years.

Technology [edit | edit source]

Enigmatic Observers armada

Fallen Empires start with all standard, rare and dangerous technology options already researched, including all technologies express by ethics, also as with ten levels in near repeatable engineering science and 5 levels in the rest. They also possess a unique Dark Affair Reactor and Deflector which tin be reverse engineered and are the second-all-time deflectors and best reactor available in the game. They do non, however, have any of the special technologies that are simply available through opposite engineering, from Leviathans or from special events. Too they are usually explicitly exempt for any and all of the Crisis Faction Spawn checks.

Fallen Empires have no labs on any of their planets and do not research farther repeatable techs. After becoming Awakened Empires, they may build labs, and will research new technologies but do so very slowly, often taking upwards of 1000 months for even a single additional repeatable.

Systems [edit | edit source]

Fallen Empires own highly valuable systems. The planets of their uppercase systems in particular are fully developed, filled with plenty Urban center Districts to unlock all build slots, and contain various special buildings built using ancient engineering that have uncommonly high output and are otherwise unavailable - fifty-fifty an Awakened Empire cannot build more of these special buildings. All systems connected to the capital organization past a hyperlane will be claimed with a Starbase and those containing habitable planets will be colonized and adult with an Ancient Palace and a Heaven Dome. All Fallen Empire home planets are fortified with unique defense buildings, making invasions difficult.

Fallen Empires created by the Scion Origin because there were no pre-generated Fallen Empires in the galaxy will own only their home system.

Ships [edit | edit source]

Fallen Empires do non apply the standard transport types that are used by normal empires. Instead, they accept Escorts, Battlecruisers and Titans. None of the values of those ship fully conform to any role player buildable ships. They may also construct Colossi.

• Escorts behave like destroyers, but their firepower and defense is closer to that of a cruiser. Escorts generally carry 4 Modest weapons and four Point Defense, and a Large weapon to fight bigger ships. They utilize picket behavior and have 1500 Hull, 140 base of operations speed, and base 35 evasion with thruster modules equivalent to a destroyer.
• Battlecruisers carry like battleships, but have far better firepower and immovability. Battlecruisers generally carry one Xl weapon, two Big weapons, 2 Hangars and 4 Medium weapons. They use line behavior and accept 3500 hull, 100 base speed, and x base of operations evasion with thruster modules equivalent to a battleship.
• Titans are the largest ships in the Fallen Empire'due south navy, rivaling several battleships and even surpassing Titans built by normal empires in power. Titans deport 1 Titanic weapon, 8 Large weapons, 4 Hangars and four Medium weapons. They use artillery behavior and accept 10000 hull, 100 base speed, and 2 base of operations evasion with thruster modules equivalent to a titan.
• Outpost is their defence platform. They occupy 2 platform chapters, but are much more powerful than regular platforms. Outposts carry ii Large weapons, five Medium weapons and 2 Indicate Defense.

The exact military power, hull points, armor and shields may vary somewhat due to unlike weapon systems and access to Strategic Resources. Difficulty and admiral will besides affect their combat strength.

Fallen Empires' ships and starbases use a powerful and unsalvageable weapon, the terrifying Titan Lance, comparable to the Perdition Beam which tin can destroy well-nigh warships with a single shot. They also possess several highly advanced send components which can be salvaged from droppings: Dark Matter Reactor (Reactor T6), Dark Matter Deflector (Shield T6) and Dark Matter Thrusters (Thruster T5). Their ships also possess a built-in cocky-repair which regenerates ii% of their maximum armor and hull per day.

While their ships are very powerful, sleeping Fallen Empires do not build new ones even to supervene upon ones that have been destroyed. Instead, they will receive reinforcements (2 Battlecruisers and eight Escorts each fourth dimension) from events if they're at peace. However, if a Fallen Empire awakens, they volition replenish their fleets usually. Escorts have a build time of 200 days while their counterparts the Destroyers have 120 days to build. A Battlecruiser's build fourth dimension is 600 days compared to the 480 days it takes to build a Battleship. Titans take 1800 days to build, similar ordinary Titans.

Fallen Empires, Awakened or otherwise, never re-design their ships, so player may tailor their transport designs to hard-counter them.

Strategy [edit | edit source]

General rules:

• Each empire prefers a specific set up of weapons that might exist tied to the ethics they have. Ships should be tailored to an empire'southward specific loadout, to maximize effectiveness. While an awakened Fallen Empire can build new ships, it will non redesign them.
• They start with x levels of every repeatable technology, but exercise not seem to research more - when awakened they will, only ofttimes taking upwards of 1000 months for a unmarried actress repeatable. Do not try to out-tech them unless you lot are really far alee.
• Their planets are heavily fortified and require massive invasions to occupy. Orbital bombardment is substantially mandatory to conquer the worlds without an ground forces strength of 2k+. An empire with access to the Colossus can use the Neutron Sweep to clear out the inhabitants and so recolonize the planet, although since this will cost you lot the unique buildings it is likely not the all-time idea.
• Fallen Empire fleets are far more powerful than the diplomacy menu or fleet power counter might suggest. Their fleets tin easily destroy enemies twice more powerful. Before declaring war on Fallen Empires, consider the possibility of losing near, or even all, of your assault fleets. Considering of that, other players in multiplayer or powerful AIs will most likely declare state of war on you during your war with a Fallen Empire, and so either get out some of your fleets behind or build upwardly significant starbase defenses.
• Unless you have a massive fleet ability advantage, it is not advisable to fight in a star organisation in which a Fallen Empire has a Citadel unless you take already defeated and weakened their fleets. Fallen empires fight very aggressively, providing plenty of opportunities to fight them in your territory and in star systems of your preference.
• If you accept admission to War Doctrines, it is generally non brash to select the Hit and Run policy, every bit high engineering science discrepancies mean that the Fallen Empire can destroy most ships nearly instantaneously, without giving them any time to disengage. For this aforementioned reason, if you take access to the No Retreat policy, selecting it provides a very good bonus ( +33%  fire rate) for relatively inconsequential disadvantages (your ships are likely to finish up being destroyed anyway if they try to flee then the disability to do so is of no concern).

Sleeping Empire [edit | edit source]

A withal-sleeping Fallen Empire does not build ships, which makes them vulnerable to a war of attrition or multiple declarations of war in succession. If you have Defensive Pacts with another civilization, it is recommended to provoke the fallen empire into declaring state of war on you so that you lot have allies and (hopefully) improve your chances of winning. Corvette swarms equipped with anti-shield and anti-armor weaponry and maxed out evasion should prove quite effective against them and their medium to extra-large guns, simply do not fare that well against the Fighter Strike Craft or the Spiritualist Arc Emitters. Their fleets will exist at to the lowest degree two 40k blobs, peradventure more than depending on difficulty. The main goal in the outset war should be to acquire their technology via salvage, as this tin can drastically improve the chances in a second war. Their troop transports should be defeated while in space as they can capture fifty-fifty a fully fortified planet with a normal stack.

Be warned that taking whatsoever Fallen Empire planets increases the chance of 1 Fe enkindling massively (to a virtually certainty), if that did not already happen. This applies to all Fallen Empires, which means that even if you manage to completely annex a Fallen Empire, you might end up waking upwards some other.

Awakened Empire [edit | edit source]

In that location are several ways of fighting an Awakened Empire, depending on your position when they awaken

The strongest empires can actually stand up a adventure of facing an awakened Fallen Empire head-on and defeating them in one get. Your long-term goal has to be to acquire as much territory equally possible, in particular that of the all the same sleeping Fallen Empires to acquire their massive resource income and their technology before moving on to open up war confronting the Awakened Empire. Be advised that any arrangement they capture means an boosted starbase they might build to reinforce their fleets more than quickly and permit large fleets.

Also keep in listen that y'all can use the Containment casus belli (which volition pb to a Total War) against an Awakened Empire regardless of what ethics y'all take. Apply it if you will win.

The second strategy is temporarily submitting to the Awakened Empire. Once they awaken, Fallen Empires volition acquire decadence. Decadence reduces their income and armada power while also increasing the rebelliousness of their subjects. Just exist patient, build upwards your forces and expect for the correct moment to insubordinate and overthrow them.

If an endgame crunch occurs, the Benevolent Interventionists or the Watchful Regulators may become Guardians of the Galaxy. They will cease trying to reduce empires to signatories or satellites and class a federation instead, and then it'south unnecessary to fight them if they awake belatedly plenty.

State of war in Sky [edit | edit source]

A State of war in Heaven volition dramatically change the power balance of the entire galaxy in a brusk fourth dimension, since it can quickly become a three-way battle royale that lasts until two of the warring factions are eliminated.

Regardless of which side you cull, remember that War in Heaven is a Total War casus belli, which means that whatever occupied systems will immediately change ownership. Choose your side wisely and keep in mind that the most important matter is always to survive while trying to either outlive or destroy your opponents. A devil-may-care choice may mean the cease of your empire.

• If you're too close to one of the awakened empires, joining their side may become the best choice unless you lot're strong enough to stop their fleets.
• If you're in a powerful federation, or you're far away enough from them, joining the League of Non-Aligned Powers may end up with meliorate results. The league will join the fight shortly after the War in Heaven starts, and so exist prepared for war.
• If you became more powerful than the Awakened Empires you are safety to remain neutral. Awakened Empires will not declare state of war on empires with greater Relative Ability.
• If you notice your empire is in a weird position (e.g. just betwixt ii awakened empires or relatively isolated from all other empires), choosing to stay contained might become the best choice.
• If the Galactic Imperium has been formed, both Fallen Empires will automatically declare war on the emperor in addition to each other, and all members of the Imperium volition automatically join the Emperor as a war ally. Note that yous cannot merits systems that have already been claimed by a state of war ally once the war has started. You will not be given the selection to side with a fallen empire or stay neutral in this case.

Empire titles [edit | edit source]

Fallen and Awakened Empires typically use empire names different than that of regular empires, usually ones hinting that they once were much more powerful and widespread than they currently are.
