Cetana... How much time do I have?

[unmerged(350868)]

Im up to 8/10 on Cetna the Synthetic Queen. I assume when it gets to 10 I am at war.

But I understand she has her own timer?

I cant see one anywhere. I have a request to give her stuff, but Im not sure whether to take a covert action or not as it advances "Setana's work" by 5. Not sure if it is worth doing or not.

I wanted to delay the war so I could build my fleets a bit more, but I am not sure what I am doing.

have you done ANY of the covert actions? what's your fleetpower? what size galaxy is it? what crisis modifier on the galaxy setup screen did you choose? i'm not even playing your game and i am still scared of her

HUge x5 113k dipweight / 4m ish actual power. I did a couple of covert actions

4m might be ok. i would go ahead and do as many covert actions as you can in the time you have left as i believe it reduces her power when she finally does attack. some of them also give you techs that will help, though you may not have the nanite income to slot those components in on every ship.

How cetana function is not entirely clear at first glance but there are indeed two different things :
-How fast you understand her plan (the score to 10). Reaching 10 will not start a war but you will get her plan and will be able to act on it (including choosing to declare war but you are not forced to do it until her plan is almost done).
-How far she advanced her plan. This one is hidden and is revealed when you reach a score of 10 or if her plan is almost completed.

Usually you want to reach 10 relatively fast so you know how many month until her plan is finished. You probably want to do a few things to delay her like destroying her transports if you helped her a lot.
